D&C 3:3
As I was doing my daily scripture study, I came across this scripture. it has helped me through this last week. I have had a goal of being more patient and not getting frustrated at the small things. It's amazing how god know's us so well that he sends us what we need, when we need it. I have noticed that when I stay patient I am able to accomplish a lot more. Sometimes, as a stay at home mom, I feel guilty that I get to stay home, while Rhett has to get up so early to go to work. Recently I think my perspective has changed a little. I realized I need to give myself more credit. It takes a lot of hard work to keep a house in order, and I feel blessed, that at this time in my life, I do have to opportunity to be a stay at home mom. I like to keep myself busy with little projects. When I get them done I feel like I have accomplished something.
We got some good news on Sunday. As I handed our tithing slip to the bishop, he asked us if we would be interested in going to do baptisms this Saturday at the San Diego temple. Rhett and I got these huge, child-like grins and the bishop said he takes that as a yes. We are so excited!! We were also surprised, because we weren't expecting to be able to go till June. We felt as if our prayer and fasting have paid off. We attended our temple prep class, which is a great class, we look forward to it every week.
We spent our weekend at home, mostly. We stayed in Friday night and watched Julie and Julia. After watching it Rhett and I decided we wanted to become better cooks together. I don't think we will blog about it and get it published and make a movie, but you never know. :) On Saturday we went out to dinner with some friends to have a big meal to start our fast. We don't mind our quiet weekends together.
Gavin keeps on getting bigger, whether we like it or not. He talks a lot now, it's not always coherent, but it's something! We've had a few people ask us when we are having another, but we really don't know right now. Rhett doesn't want to miss anything, so we will probably wait until he is no longer deploying to start thinking about that. We want to be a little more financially ready for another baby. We also kind of think, when we are supposed to have another, it will happen, ready or not!
I am so excited for you to go do baptisms! That is so cool... Remember that you are doing the greatest work ever by being a mother and wife. Your job is 24 hours a day so be glad when you don't have to get up to an alarm clock; you just have to get up any time when you're needed!! Love you and am so happy for your blessings! Love, AK Mom
