The Atonement


Today in Relief Society our lesson was on the Atonement. To start the lesson Sister Lawson asked what came to mind when we heard "Atonement." My answer came without a moment's hesitation "we are never alone and He knows exactly what we are going through." 

This has been such a large part of my life in the past year, and even more in Sept-Nov. Those were dark months in my life. Darker than I ever imagined I would experience and a place I never want to revisit again. During this time my family rallied around me to keep reminding me that He knows exactly what I was going through. 

Of course life is never easy and now that that has passed there is something different to take it's place-highs and lows-as there always is. But something that I try to remind myself everyday is that my Savior knows exactly what I am going through. He knows my strengths and my weaknesses and knows what I need and when I need it. He knows when I will break down and what to do when that happens. He knows that I need people in other wards to talk to me at church because rarely anone in our ward does. He knows that it makes me feel special that the 79ish year old lady in our ward (that no one else can stand) remembers every detail that I tell her and even notices the fact that I dyed my hair. He knows every detail about my life, every insecurity, every fear, every doubt, every concern, every joy, EVERYTHING. 

It is through the Atonement that we are made whole. It is through the Atonement that I was made whole after months of darkness and doubt. 

I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father and Savior who KNOW. 

Enjoy the Journey.

A nap, A party, Friends, and A boyfriend


You have to take a nap and be well rested before you get to have a party!



A broken wii remote is always a hit!

Yup this is Emery's boyfriend. They have so much fun together! He is 3 months older than her but she is getting to be so close to his size!

A puppy and a meal

We now have a little puppy around the house!




She even has a tail. 



But we do feed her at the table, squash, peas, anything with apples or pears, and LOTS of oatmeal.





She never fails to sneeze during a meal.


And has learned to squirt the oatmeal back out as soon as the spoon is out because she thinks it is funny!

Enjoy the Journey.

Kisses

I found some colored lip gloss and marked my territory the other day. :)





(when did she get so old?)

Enjoy the Journey.

Cell Phone Pictures

She loves to put the bottom part of her pacifier behind her teeth.
She is pulling herself up everywhere!
She loves to watch Studio 5 with mom everyday. (btw we got an entertainment center and are loving it!)
But some mornings she has to watch Rachael Ray before Studio 5
"Mom just told me I only have one more bite of Krispy Kreme..."
"So I guess I'll have to eat my shoe now."

Enjoy the Journey.
