and happy 9th anniversary to us!
i'll die if my kids get married at 21. i'm SO glad my parents had complete trust in me and never questioned or doubted my decision (i know some were skeptical since we only dated 6 months before we were married and i became mormon to boot). i couldn't have found a more perfect man had i searched the world over. and how cool is it that i met him when i was 12 and got to watch him live his life for 9 years before i ever dated him. i was well-informed and he's exceeded the potential i saw in him another 9 years later! what a testament to the benefits of living the gospel.
this year i want to exercise regularly even it's only once a week.
i want to focus on the good things in people even if it's just their shoes at the moment.
i want to enjoy each day with my little family even when it's hard.
i'm grateful for where i am at the end of this year and look forward to the growth and experiences the new year will bring.

grateful everyday for:
Mothers,
“Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be. …Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones….The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you…. If you strive to love God, if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do….Remember, remember all the days of your motherhood: ‘Ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.’ Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And ‘press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.’ You are doing God’s work.”
Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because She Is a Mother,” Ensign, May 1997

Oh Cheryl, I've missed you and your optimism! I LOVE your family picture in your header. You all look so gorgeous! Your boys are becoming way too handsome for their own good. I loved what you said about your children getting married at 21, your parents trusting you and your decisions, watching Micah grow up -- no wonder your parents trusted your decision. You are thoughtful and mature in everything you do. Oh happy new year to you all!

We are in bakersfield now. I can't even remember being here before but it's not exactly what I expected.
GREAT picture! Wow! Beautiful! Happy New year cool girl!

My mother-in-law told me just the other day that now she understands why my mom didn't want us to get married when I was 20 now that her girl is approaching that decision. Funny how tables turn.
And, we're going to Newport Beach for Sam's 2L summer. Thanks again for your help; being at the same firm would have been fun!
thanks for all the nice compliments on the header photo!
