I Cherish These Times

Every day is a gift and I cherish each day with my family and friends.  We never know when our time is up or when we will get another chance.  Robin got another chance...we almost lost her a few weeks ago but here she was today with her beautiful smile and funny sense of humor.  I'm glad we go to lunch often and take the time to "nourish" our friendships. (I didn't put that on purpose but it's fitting)  I had to work a little harder to get Robin's approval of me joining in their fun but I think I succeeded a year or so ago. Today before we left Robin was the one that initiated a hug.  We're all glad that she is here with us.  I couldn't bare the thought of losing her.  My heart is filled with gratitude for her and each of my friends.

These gals grew up together making fun memories along their journey.  They continue to make fun memories and they have been kind enough to let me add to them and be apart of the ones happening now.  I love making memories with these ladies.  They really are a fun bunch. (my nickname for them)

Woo Hoo Kelsi is 22

Our Cute Kelsi has a birthday today!  I'm glad that Kelsi joined our family.  I really admire the faith that Kelsi has.  She was inspired to come home from her mission and marry Braxton.  She didn't question and was assertive and now she's ours.  Her and Braxton felt inspired to start their little family immediately and so they did.  They wanted to wait to have another little one but again they feel like they are suppose to and so they are willing to do what the Lord has planned for them.  I love the faith Kelsi displays.  One day we were talking about the little twin and her complications and Kelsi said with confidence "everything will be okay."  Faith is one of Kelsi's gifts.  She is also soft spoken, kind, caring, smart and beautiful (inside and out)  I love this sweet girl and the example she is to me.  I love her for loving my son.  I love her for bringing cute Sadie into this world.  I love her for being her!
