Update

Most of you know that we have been threw a lot this year. The loss of our sweet baby Ethan, the loss of the best dog ever Cody, and we have had our financial struggles as well. The Lord has tested us a lot these past three years, and I have learned a lot about myself and that the only thing that is important in this life is your family, good friends and the gospel. Maybe not all in that order, but I used to want all the material things. The big house, the cars and lots of money. I have really realized that as long as I am with my family and the ones I love, and have the gospel in my life, that that is all that matters. I know that some of you are saying "well DUH", and I know. Sometimes it take me a while to appreciate what I have, and to realize that is all I need.
Honestly, I am grateful for my struggles. I am grateful for the bumpy road I have had to endure threw this life. Because they have taught me so much. I honestly can't wait to see my little angel Ethan again. I miss him everyday, and there isn't a moment when I don't wish he was here on earth with us. Then I am distracted by the other 5 children I have here with me, and I am so grateful that they are here to help cushion the ache I have in my heart. I am grateful to have forever to look forward to being with them, even though it seems impossible sometimes.
