A girl after my own heart...

Yesterday I was eating the last of the ice cream cake from Rick's birthday. (Don't worry, he gave me permission.) Amelie wanted some too so I gave her the last piece of strawberry, and took the last piece of chocolate for myself. I set them both on the table thinking she wouldn't notice the difference, and first thing she said when she saw it was, "I don't want this kind. I want chocolate. Chocolate's my favorite." "But I want chocolate" I replied. "No I do" she said. So I reluctantly cut mine in half and gave it to her. Happily, we both ate our cake.

Later that day she found some chocolate candy on the counter. She popped one in her mouth and then came over to me and asked (with chocolate drooling out) "Mom, can I have a piece of chocolate?" "Ummm, don't you already have some in your mouth?" I said. "Yeah." she replied. "Next time please ask me first okay?" "Ok" Later that day I noticed the bag of chocolates on the counter was empty. Hmmm, I wonder who ate those.

To sum it up

To sum up the last 9 months... We went to Disney World and Universal in March with Rick’s family. It was a BLAST! Favorite part was Harry Potter world. Favorite ride was Rockin’ Roller coaster, or Hogwarts castle, or the Avatar ride. Rick and I coached track March-May. It was fun but stressful. I like doing something for the community. I don’t like running a program w my husband and not enough adult help. Kids finished school in May and we went on a camping trip Memorial weekend to St Joe State Park with our favorite people, Richardsons. Some other ward families came too. Marcellino’s and Smith’s. Summer hit, Soleil got baptized, and Rick got a job offer to work for Cricut in Utah. Finally a job closer to family! We spent three very stressful weeks prepping our house for sale and then took off to Utah driving both our cars on July 13th. The following week we vacationed in Lake Powell with my family. After coming home from that we settled into Heather’s basement ...

2019 is my year to Be Prepared

Last year I decided to make a goal that involved one phrase, no guilt. That phrase stuck in my mind all year long, and guided me through a lot of situations. I found by the end of the year, that I really had changed because of those two words. In all the years past that I have set goals, I have set very specific reachable things. I always find that a few months into the year my motivation drops off and I don’t follow through with the goal. By the end of the year I either feel disappointed in myself, or I can’t even remember what my goal was to begin with. Last year was different in a very good way. So I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. After pondering and praying about what my goal should be this year, I came up with the phrase be prepared. There are so many ways to be prepared in life, spiritually, physically, temporarily, etc. I find that a lot of my stress on a daily basis could be remedied if I had only spent a little time before hand to prepare for that moment for that s...

Golf date

We went on a group date Friday night with our best friends here in St Louis, Wilson’s and Richardson’s. We went to a new place in Chesterfield called Top Golf. We ate yummy food and visited while we hit golf balls off a platform. It was the first time I had ever hit golf balls in a real way, aside from miniature golf. It was harder than it looks. Everyone had fun and I came home sore.
