The Love of my Life

This morning as I sat feeding Jenica her breakfast, it dawned on me how much I truly LOVE my life. I love being a mom and I love being able to stay home with Jenica and try to give her the upbringing that God wants for His children. And then another realization....I wouldn't have this wonderful life that I love so with out my adoring husband. Rob, thank you so much for all you do for our family. Thank you for getting up early every morning and going to work so that our family can be supported. Thank you for loving me and loving Jenica with all your heart. Thank you for being such an involved father and husband, for showing such an interest in our lives and being willing to be a stay at home dad for a few evenings a week so I can still pursue my career. You are everything I ever dreamed of and more and this Valentine's Day, I just wanted to say thank you for all that you are and all that you do. I love you!

Anniversaries help us to remember and acknowledge things in the past. They might not always be happy memories, but I do believe that remembering and reflecting is important. It was a year ago this Memorial Day that I found out my dad had cancer. Three weeks later he was gone.  These pictures were all taken about 2 years ago. We had no idea then that these would be the last memories with Grandpa.  I’ve wanted to write about his passing for some time now, but I just wasn’t ready until now.  His death has been hard for me to process in a lot of ways. I know death is never easy, and cancer can be a horrible way to die, so I don’t fault my dad for his decision. What I do wish in hindsight is that it wasn’t illegal in Idaho to end your own life, in cases of terminal illness. That’s the choice my dad made, rather abruptly in my opinion and like all grieving children I would have given anything to have more time with him. But I think he was afraid. I think he was afraid that he w...

Day Care

Jenica is going to daycare for the first time this afternoon. I think I'm having a much harder time with it than she will. The lady that will be watching her one day a week also watches my friend Brandi's son, so Jenica will get to play with Judah while she's there. There are also a few other kids that come on Thursday afternoons so I'm sure she will have lots of fun. I know I can't have the best of both worlds (stay at home mom and career woman), it's just hard to have to leave my baby girl with someone who doesn't love her like I do. It's times like these when I wish I didn't live so far away from my family, so Jenica could just spend an afternoon with her Grammy or her cousin Kayla instead of having to go to a strangers house. Rob and I have weighed the pro's and con's and feel like a little time with other kids will actually be good for Jenica right now and will allow me to focus on work with out worrying about what Jenica could be gettin...
