Love is my husband working soooo hard for our family
Love is my husband telling me to keep sleeping in the morning while he goes and gets our daughter out of bed
Love is my husband calling me during the day just to say hi and tell me he loves me
Love is my husband making sure he makes time for our family in his crazy, hectic, don't know how he does it, schedule.
Love is my husband coming home earlier than anticipated
Love is watching my husband be so tender with our daughter today as she has been so sick
Love is my husband leading our family in prayer and scripture study each day
Love is watching my husband interact with our daughter
Love is hearing their laughter
Love is coming home from the store not knowing where they are and finding them under the table in their fort they made
Love is my husband doing amazing in his schooling
Love is my husband being strong when I'm weak
Love is my husband never complaining when I ask him to do something
Love is my husband asking what he can do for me after he's had a long day
Love is my husband laying his hands on our daughters head to give her a blessing
Love is my husband being okay with cereal for dinner
Love is my husband letting me ramble and be emotional
Love is my husband always making me laugh
I am in love with an incredible man. He is my angel.

Magical Sunday
Today was magical. Nothing extraordinary happened but perhaps that's why it was so wonderful. It was simply a great day.
To start off, not that this is important, but I had a good hair day. :) I think everyone would say they're more confident when they have a good hair day. So that was a bonus. But truly, here's what our magical Sunday consisted of:
my husband and I sang a musical number at church today. (Lord, I would follow Thee) I love when we sing together.
my daughter is loving nursery! Not one tear today :)
Primary was great- I have grown to love these children so much
80 degrees today!!!
going for a family walk while eating popsicles
putting a blanket out in the backyard and playing catch and just being together as a family
skyping with both my husband and I's parents
going to dinner at our neighbors house. They have become great friends and they spoiled us tonight! Crab cakes, red crockpot potatoes, asparagus and twix brownie bars for dessert. Every single bite was delicious. It was our first time eating crab cakes and I tell you what, definitely not our last- we loved them!
snuggling with my daughter and reading a book and praising her for how wonderful she is
and now, time with my husband.
What a great day!!!

Exciting!!
BIG news in our home! We are expecting our second child and we are sooo happy :) !!!
We found out we were pregnant on Valentines day (awe), it was perfect! We cried and hugged each other and felt like we were floating that whole day.
It's amazing how things work out. I told my husband months and months ago that if I could pick when I'd like our next child to be born I told him October or November is what I would love. Well, everything worked out because we are due October 16th! We are truly feeling so humbled and so blessed. It is an answer to our prayers.
I love the bond I have instantly felt with my children when finding out I was pregnant. It's so spiritual. My husband felt a really strong bond instantly with our last child and it's fun to physically see it now. They truly are best buddies and they do share a very special bond that touches my heart. I have felt that strong bond with this child. A year or so ago, when talking somewhat casually with my husband over dinner about the future and talking about our family, I all the sudden felt so close to whoever was going to be born to us next. I got teary and felt such a strong connection. It was really a spiritual experience for me. And now, much time has passed since then and I very much still feel that same strong bond carrying my child. We went to the doctor together as a family to hear the heartbeat and I couldn't hold back the tears when the baby showed up on the screen. Relief, humility, love, sacredness, and happiness flooded through me and my family at that moment. My husband squeezed my hand and that was all the message I needed to know he felt the same way.
Now, this is not to say I didn't feel a special connection with our first child or that my husband hasn't with this child. That would not be true. I'm just writing down some of our experiences.
Motherhood is a journey. I'm constantly learning new things from my daughter everyday and she is helping me grow to be a better person. I've read this a couple places and have found it to be oh so true:
"While we are teaching our children all about life,
our children are teaching us what life is all about."
I love that. I have found that daily I am having to say "I'm sorry" to my daughter about something I did wrong or should have done a different way or done better. I'm learning. My daughter is patient and my testimony has grown so strong that we truly are to become as little children.
I'm so grateful to be a mommy and to be able to give my daughter a sibling. My sister told me that she always had a hard time understanding how Heavenly Father could love us all equally. She said she didn't understand it until she had her second child. Then she knew. She knew how He could love one child just as much as another. I can testify to that already. I love my family!
