1. Do you know who
Shawni Eyre Pothier is? You should. She is an amazing mother, wife, and woman and I really, admire her. She recently gave a speech which you can read
here, and it really touched me. My favorite quote from the her speech...
"“Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort."
I really, really love that.
2. School is winding down and we are busy... Tomorrow Thatcher has Field Day, which he has been talking about for weeks, and Tagg has his preschool graduation. I will tell ya, this school year has FLOWN by. It kinda freaks me out. Can I just freeze time and have these little boys stay little forever please?
3. For our anniversary this weekend Todd and I will be getting away to a fancy resort in San Antonio and I am more than a little excited. We are talking spa treatments, laying in the sun, sleeping in, breakfast in bed, and lots of relaxation...can't wait!
4. I am in the process of decorating the boys room and our room. I will have some big reveal pictures on the blog by next week! Yippy! Can I tell you that my life has purpose when I am decorating? I am a weirdo.
5. I am so wishing I went to Womens Conference this year! I am totally jealous looking at everyones fun pictures on their blogs of mountains, the Marriot Center, countless beautiful Mormon mamas, Cafe Rio, and then hearing about the classes they went to and who spoke! So, so jealous. I really would have loved to see Nie and C Jane, and Julie Beck! Aghhhh... oh well. Maybe I will go to Education Week? I am needing something like that, anyone else going to Education Week? I have never been. Is it as good as Womens Conference?
