Tender Mercies

I thought this article about Church history being done in prison was beautiful and inspiring.

whether you believe in what they are doing or not, I think its great to see the hope and light that it can bring to anyone, member or not.

I know that through our hardest moments our Heavenly Father is always there with us, guiding us, comforting us with his Spirit, and that the atonement of Christ has made my pains and trails a bearable burden.

Love you all,
Peace

the whosits and whatsits

Lately I have been kurfuddled in my mind, neither moving this way or that in a bloggy sense. I was focused on mundane things that I just didn't want to post about, and couldn't finish up any of the really ponderful thoughts that I was having. So I waited, I kept still, and quiet...tres unlike me. But if pregnancy teaches you one thing it is how to be patient and slow. Listening to life grow inside of you, following the new energy that flows around you, and pausing to think and worry all along the way. So fitting to the season. My body feels like fall, and I get the feeling this little boy is going to be like winter. He gives me the impression that he is going to be more quiet and focused the other three of us. I can't wait to see what he adds to the family. My house is almost clean, and the countdown begins, one week tomorrow!!!!!

Miss thing and I doing some waiting

 last week, I promise you I really am pregnant, I'll try and take some actually pregnant looking pictures sometime soon.

oh you bloggitables!

I have been feeling the blogs build in me, like I can fee l this baby waiting to bust a move south. So here it is; we'll just consider me-selfs as havin' takin' the summer off. But I'm back, and I'm 36 weeks pregnant, going to Costco later, and ready for adventure. Hello!

I just got to this point of the blog(duh) and realized I don't really have anything profound to write, so I'll tell/show you some more things from the summer.

1) I discovered Pinterest in all its holiness. I feel that the world must be moving into her crowning glory because Pinterest exists. Amen. Some things I'm pining for now:

and so, so many other things. 

P.S. You can find sources for all this crap on my pin boards, cause I ain't postin' it here sucka. (Pinterest link at top is to my boards)

2) I've pondered this deep question; what is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake? Besides the frosting, because you know, some people still put frosting on muffins.

3)  Vida pants

4) I went back to the gym 2 weeks ago, and have been enjoying my walrussy state at such entertaining classes as bodypump, step class, and a combo of yoga/ti chi/ and pilates. Awesome. You should come watch for comic entertainment.

5) I've already started thinking about what I want to buy myself from Brandon for Christmas. The list includes a hot tub. Boo. Just kidding, that would obviously be on the list of things that count as gifts that are mutually given to each other.

6) and you! my beauties, I'd love to have bloggity friends to get my through the frigid winter.

Let's talk more lates,

Love you,

O
