Happy Easter

My Savior died that all might live again. The greatest blessing was not in his death but in his resurrection. I am forever grateful and indebted Savior, Jesus Christ. Because of Him my weakness can be overcome and can be made into strengths, my sins can be forgiven and I am promised that I will not be given more than I can overcome (my trials are bearable). He is my God and my King, triumphant over death and creator of worlds without end. He is my friend. He buoys me up when I am weak.

Happy 14th Ms. Ginny

Fourteen years ago, I was introduced to the meaning of unconditional love when I became a mother. Ginny still helps me learn unconditional love but it is also by example now. Ginny is a joy to have in our family and a choice daughter of our Heavenly Father. There are times when I do not think either of my beautiful angels understand their true worth or the depth of love and gratitude we have for them. Ginny is a great help around the house and with her siblings. She is definitely a teenager and loves the following: cute dresses, her phone, softball, sushi, and Starbucks cream based (no coffee) drinks. She is learning to manage her time wisely and is an example to her classmates and her coach. She does not shy from sharing her beliefs and that she is a Latter Day Saint. We love you Ginny! 

Happy birthday Jake

Today is my most favorite persons birthday. Wahoo!  He is beyond wonderful and my greatest blessing. I feel that this past season has been one of my hardest emotionally and in our marriage but in the end there's no one else I'd prefer to be with. Here's to many more birthdays to come with this man. Happy birthday Jake! 

Chicago time

Before hitting out Chicago weekend trip, I'll give a brief overview of the week. My cousin, Steven Daniel Esra, passed away on March 9th. I also went to the doctor this week and had a sinus infection with double ear infections. The same day as the death and doctor, we find out that our debit card has been compromised. Craziness. However we still decided to come to Chicago Friday after work to meet Michael and his family Saturday and participate in St. Patty's day celebrations. It was much busier than I anticipated but we had a great time being together. We also connected with TW (Jake's brother) too and enjoyed lunch with him. The kids are exhausted.
