Our Simple Life-Random Photos & Random Thoughts

I honestly take sooo many pictures! I love digital cameras! What a great invention! It's nice to know that we are recording our family life through pictures for our posterity! This blog has almost become a family journal! Our life is simple and complicated all at the same time! I am grateful for all the wonderful blessings that we receive every day! I have to say that I do see the hand of the Lord in my life every single day (I loved Elder Eyring's talk!) The simple fact that we have food to eat every day in itself is a miracle! I really don't think we realize how many people in this world struggle to simply have the means to put food on the table! We are so blessed! Sometimes we feel like we don't have much but we really do have soooo much! Sometimes, I get caught up in the overwhelming responsibility of motherhood and being a wife that I forget that our lives should be simple and that I need to enjoy the moment! I get so irritated when the apartment gets messy, I have plates on the sink (in or on the sink? I never can tell...) I have laundry to do, I have tests to grade, I have diapers to change, I have to think what I'm cooking for dinner...you wouldn't think that it would get so complicated and overwhelming...But then I start contemplating my life and I realize that I chose this mortal experience and I have better go through it happily!!! And that all the refinement that I need is in my every day life, changing diapers and all...
