In. Love.


I waited 2 LONG, crowded hours in the wee hours of the night/morning at Wal-Mart to get this beauty.
That is what I call love.
I know we have many beautiful years together ahead of us.
Welcome to the family.

Lately

Lately my life has been CRAZY busy, but crazy good.  In the past month, the following things happend:

  • I turned 26
  • my business, Busy Books for Busy Bodies, appeared at a 2-day boutique
  • attended/helped with baby showers for my sister-in-law (actually all three of these things happened in the same week)
  • Taught YW lessons
  • Choreographed our ward play
  • Started weekly rehearsals for a women's vocal ensemble for a Christmas music program
  • was asked to conduct the children's choir for said Christmas music program
  • became an aunt again (and I have a beautiful niece, Chloe!)
  • attended 3 baby blessings
  • have been filling Busy Book orders in my spare time
  • had prayers answered in HUGE ways
  • celebrated 5 family member's birthdays

Up until a few months ago, I'd say that my life has been pretty calm for about a year now.  Well, what I mean by calm is that I didn't have a calling at church and I really didn't have to follow any type of schedule.  I didn't have any commitments whatsoever.  I kept telling myself to enjoy that time because I knew it wouldn't last forever.

Well, it seems like my "calm" year is making up for lost time.......  Toss in Thanksgiving, Christmas, shopping,  birthday parties, music rehearsals, music performances, 2 more boutiques...........

I don't think I'll be able to rest again until January. But I'm not complaining. 

It feels good to be back.

Anyway, I just had to share my latest creation at Busy Books.  I LOVE IT!  It's perfect for little boys.
