Some spirtual struggles, nothing too crazy though

Well it has been quite a while since I last posted. I am not very good at this! Since then I am sure many wonderful things have happened, but I can't recollect any of them!
I have been in a very thoughtful mood however the past week or so & I have reflected a lot about who I am as a person, as a mother, as a wife, as a friend, etc. & this is what I have concluded.

I am a spiritually minded person that has all the intentions in the world to do so much for everyone around me, but fear, sometimes laziness, and lots of times forgetfulness get in the way. I want to be so much more uplifting and in tune with the Spirit, but the routine of the day, or the out-of-routine of the day makes it difficult. I forget to pray, I forget to read my scriptures and then at 1am when I get home from work & am finally laying in bed, the thought comes to my mind to read my scriptures. So I get my phone out and start reading. Yay!! I did it! Too bad I was too tired to really comprehend anything I was reading, but I feel better that I did it. Then the thought comes to me, "well did you pray yet?" and of course my response is "no". So I debate in my head, " 'should I kneel down & pray?' 'But I just laid down & I am too tired to get up'. 'Maybe I can kneel in my bed, or better yet, I will just say my prayers lying down..' 'YES! That is what I will do!'' Then, I wake up at 6:30am when my baby gets up and I think back & I never remember saying, "Amen".
Oh the worries I have in my life, but I have always realized that those little small things, like praying, reading my scriptures (and pondering them), etc were & are very important for me personally to do DAILY. I need the spiritual boost they offer & I don't know about the rest of the world, but I would like to know that I have God on my side, whatever is going on in my life & praying will help me accomplish that!

So there were my rantings I have been thinking about lately, thanks for being a listening ear. I hope the next time I post, I will be able to give good news that I am back into my good spiritual routine & I am working on more higher up spiritual goals besides the ones I should already have down pat.

Good bye for now!!

P.S. I should mention though... Conner, my little crazy monkey of a boy, is now one. He is walking, he is running, he is getting dirty, he now says 8 words or phrases and he is my joy & my life. Yay motherhood! I don't envy any of those women in the world that don't want children & only want success monetarily & in status. I would rather be a mom & be poor any day!!

New teeth!

Well a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting in church and my son put my finger in his mouth. After a few seconds of him chewing away, I felt a sharp pinch. It startled me, and I looked and there on the bottom was one little tooth! YAY!!!! But that isn't the end...last night, Conner was once again chewing away, but this time on Justin's finger & he yelped (my husband) and said that he thought Conner had another tooth. I of course didn't believe it till I saw it. This time he had a tooth on the top, but that wasn't it, he had another one on the top too. I am a little concerned though, I believe they are both his front teeth, but there is seriously 1 inch between the two. Is this something I should be concerned with? Or will they eventually move together when his other teeth come in? If they don't move, that is gonna be the biggest gapper I have ever seen! He will make Madonna's gap look like a crack in the sidewalk as opposed to his panama canal!!!

hello blogging world

Well hello all!
I have decided to enter the world of blogging. I have heard many good things about it, and I have many friends who use it. So here I am.
A little about me. I am a native "Arizonan" been here for 24 1/2 years of my 26 years of life. The other year & a half was spent in sunny Orange County, CA where I served a mission preaching the gospel! Until 6 months ago, that time in California was my most memorable and rewarding time. But as of February of this year, that has changed as my little baby boy was born. My little buddy Conner has made everyday memorable and worthwhile.

Don't get me wrong, motherhood isn't the easiest thing in the world as most of you know, but I do have to say when I am up at 3 in the morning and I have a half sleeping baby eating and laughing, it makes me forget I am tired.

I am married to a wonderful man named Justin, we have been married for 2 1/2 years, and we haven't killed each other  yet, that is good right? I have known him since we were 12 years old, but we didn't get "involved romantically" until we were 19 and after he begged and begged me! If you ask him, he will say that jealousy is what made me finally give in to him, but to this day, I beg to differ.
Well I guess that is it for now, looking forward to blogging, how exciting!!!
