I can't complain, things just seem to be working out this week. My schooling has been working my nerves lately and with my upcoming anticipation with school graduation etc. I have really been on edge a lot lately. But I am happy to say that I have gotten things under control now and I feel now like I can breath a little, do some of the things I love, such as playing with my beautiful little twin girls.
Its a good day cause today is Friday and I also happen to have tomorrow off (YEA), my mom, dad, little sister and brother just arrived here in Des Moines yesterday, they drove 17 hours strait from PA to visit me and my family for the weekend. We are excited, this because one of the downfalls of doing my schooling in the middle of the country, well my wife and her family are from Washington state, mine are from PA, so we just don't get a lot of family time like we would like. So the visit by my parents this weekend is much appreciated. They are also here because my little brother is planning to leave later this month for a 2 year mission to Brazil for our church, I too did a mission for 2 years, mine was to the state of Oregon (this is partially why we would love to eventually settle our family in Portland) and since we wont get to see him for the duration of his mission, well this then is the justification for the visit this weekend.
I also enjoy when the parents are hear because they buy us groceries and we tend to go out and do lots of fun things with them, not to mention my little girls love their Nana & Papa, so it all works out for everyone involved. I have one more assignment to do this weekend and other than that its going to be a nice relaxing weekend. I am really excited for all the peace and relaxation.
I wanted to mention that other than the above things, other things are working out well in my life right now, I have been diligent with my personal scripture study, I pray every night and I have been most proud that I have faithfully been having FHE every week, even when my wife is so exhausted that she cant help. My little girls are my life, and I would do anything for them. For example last night one of my little wee ones needed to go pooh pooh, but she was having a really hard time, her mom was away with a friend, so I had to go hold my little girls hand while she sat and cried and told me her story while on the potty, it broke my heart how much this was hurting her, we weren't even able to get her to go, she ended up just cuddling me for a bit on my Lov Sac and then she went to bed. Its those moments when I realized I really do love my girls, I would do anything and everything to prevent the pains they have to go through in life, its moments like this that help me see or feel just a smudge of what our savior went through for each and every person on this planet. Love is powerful, its a great motivational force and I am just glad that its working its magic with me and my family. I love being happy and I am grateful for all the blessings I have in my life.
