Peace


I had the sweetest little experience yesterday. I was on the way to the gym late at night, I had a new CD, Taylor Swift, blasting out my speakers and I was just overcome with gratitude. I even shed a few tears thinking of how fortunate and blessed I am. I was thinking about all of my amazing friends, my hilarious and adorable daughter Lilly and my hubby Shane. I've been given so much. I have much to be thankful for. This was an experience I'm not going to forget. It was like Heavenly Father confirming to me that I've made good decisions and that He wants me to be right where I am. It was a tender mercy. In one word----I felt peace.

Ah, that picture is just adorable! I love Lilly's little dress. If I had a little girl, I think I would have myself a little photo shoot every Sunday with all the sweet dresses!

I've been feeling a lot of gratitude lately for the life I have as well. What a blessing it is to have the knowledge of the Gospel and eternal families!!

Erica- Your daughter is adorable! I cannot believe it has been this long since high school...but now we are all married with kids...it is crazy! I don't think I have seen you since Scott and Jess' wedding (wow, 4 years ago!) Hope all is well.
