New month....New attitude!

Thanks to a good cry with my mom,  time spent at a girlfriend's house talking much needed girl talk, eating the brownies she made for me, and coming home and laying in bed with Ryan reading our patriartical blessings together,  I am feeling MUCH better today.

I am jazzed for everything we have going on this month, including:

Going to St. George this weekend to drop off a bed.   Excited to see Taz and Adam for dinner and to go do a session on Saturday morning in the St. George Temple.   That temple is very special to me.  My family was sealed in that temple when I was 5-6 and even being that young I remember bits and pieces of the day.  I remember being in a room with a woman who felt like a grandma playing with me and my baby brother,   I remember being taken to the sealing room and kneeling with my parents and I remember looking around the room and seeing my Aunts and Uncles.   I am so excited to go back with Ryan and I hope those feelings engulf me again as I walk through those doors.

AND.....

After a LONG 40 months I am FINALLY getting my braces off on Feb 20th!!!  I never thought this day would come.   I always joke with my ortho that the entire time I have been dating and married to Ryan I have had braces and he always jokes back and says maybe I will get them off by the time my kids graduate :)  I am so glad I got them,  I feel so much better about my smile and don't regret them for a minute,  but its been over 3 years and I am ready to be done with them!   I'm going to have carmel covered apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory as soon as I can :) 

Just more reason's I have to be grateful for my life.   I might get knocked down sometimes but I always get back up..
