Breath of Heaven

So Thomas is 1! And I was thinking about what was going on in my head a year ago as I was in the hospital waiting for him to arrive. And this song kept going on in my head over and over again as I kept reflecting on how Mary must have felt knowing that the child she was carrying was the Son of GOD! I think that must have been overwhelming. Anyways, I appreciated having Thomas come the time of year he did to allow me to have the thoughts that I did one year ago, and have even more respect for Mary. The feelings must have been daunting.

Writing

Prompt: What do you do each day that doesn't contribute to your writing, and can you eliminate it?

Well, I guess that depends on what writing they are talking about. If it is my blog, then I would say one of the biggest things that stop it is that I don't feel like I really have a lot to say. If it is things like my journal, then it is pure laziness and procrastination. Telling myself over and over that tomorrow, or "later today" I'll write in it. Heck, I haven't even written that on my birthday (over 3 weeks ago) Thomas took his first 3 steps towards me! (well, atleast I wrote it down now). So, yes I can get rid of these issues, but I don't know if I will. We shall see if I ever discipline myself enough.

One Word

I am going to copy my friend Katie by following this promt for me to look over and see what I thought of 2010. I might do more than one post in a day to catch up with where they want you to be. We will see how it goes.

The first one is describe the year in ONE WORD and that would be...

THOMAS

I know that this isn't a word that people would say counts, but this really sums up the year. My little guy has been what has made my every decision this year.

I learned how to be a mom, got to watch him smile, roll over, crawl, laugh, cry, and play games.

He has made me cry, laugh, sleep walk, stress, worry, question my sanity, and

thank Heavenly Father for the amazing chance to be

blessed to be the mother of this special boy.

Elder Neal A. Maxwell said it better than I ever could.

You rock a child without wondering if today's world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms.

Christmas gifts

So... Kellen and I decided to give each other our Christmas gifts a little early this year.

We GOT SMART PHONES!!

Best Buy is having this deal go on (ending this week I believe) to get certain smart phones for FREE!!

We both needed new phones (Kellen has been having issues with his old one for a while now) and so far we are LOVING THEM!!

Yup, that is all. Until later this week with the newest update of our little guy.
