Growing Younger: July 2014
http://lindseyheywood.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 14, 2014. I remember Katri and I had a running tally from our ward directories of who was married. thank you Facebook. By our junior year, over half of our freshman ward was married. I would always try to find patterns in who was married and who wasn't. Was it a specific character trait? How outgoing they are? How many dates they went on? And I think in my secret heart of hearts it was a quiet: What is wrong with me? Now that I am in a married ward, I can tell you what the theme is. Happines...

Growing Younger: June 2014
http://lindseyheywood.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 3, 2014. I'm attempting to gather my thoughts from their resting places. My heart is reluctant to let these feelings be translated into words. Life is good. So good. Marriage confused me. I had studied all that I could get my hands on, trying to prepare for 'the most important decision of my life'. most terrifying string of words ever. can we agree on that? How do you go from being a normal person to a wife? Because the important decision had already been made. I should marry. It was who.

Thursday, April 9, 2015. Doesn't this face beg to be kissed? Guys, he's smiling. Most of his awake time is spent smiling and cooing. And some crying. And some staring off into space. But mostly smiling and cooing. It is the best thing ever. My little heart just can't take it. I'm so happy that he's happy. I'm so grateful he's in our family. I'm so in love with our little man. I may or may not cry when he smiles. Mascara is not needed in this house. Do we not realize how old that is? 12 April, 2015. If we...

http://lindseyheywood.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 9, 2014. I'm sorry for the long stream of mushy-gushy lovey-dovey posts. Here's another. But this time we'll do it in song. :) These are some of my top faves! If I could pick a song, that would describe our relationship, this is it. I love Sara and she does such a beautiful job explaining that love is a choice and that sometimes it is scary but it is SO worth it. McCallin feels like home to me. He is where I feel safe and secure. I love the way I feel protected by his love. 8220;The comm...

Growing Younger: August 2014
http://lindseyheywood.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 25, 2014. I am amazed again and again by how love is in the little things. And I am blessed to be married to a man who knows that. He cuts my grilled cheese sandwiches in triangles. it is scientifically proven they taste better that way. He forgives me for falling back asleep when I'm supposed to be driving him to work. He attempts to re-fluff my favorite blue blanket with the vacuum. Unfortunately the washer ruined the blanket forever. It now resembles old carpet. View my complete profile.

Growing Younger: To see with eyes of hope
http://lindseyheywood.blogspot.com/2015/07/to-see-with-eyes-of-hope.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. To see with eyes of hope. I wasn't even sure I wanted to go. Relief Society activities overwhelm me. So many people. Who do you sit next to? What do you talk about? I didn't even know what the activity was so I couldn't run scenarios through my head. I decided to rock my baby to sleep. I'd figure it out when my arms were empty, right? I helped Joby settle into a nap. McCallin settled into one, too. It was where I needed to be. I then looked at the clock. I was 15 minutes late.

Growing Younger: March 2015
http://lindseyheywood.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 12, 2015. Here we are. 2 weeks from delivery day. He got home from the NICU on Sunday. Which means that I've been a full-time-stay-with-him mom for almost 5 days. This whole mom thing is wonderful beyond compare. Even though it is sometimes hard. But hard isn't the right word. Hard implies strong, tough, rock-like, callous, dense, firm. And that's not quite right. It is the softness that gets me. My heart broke. It took McCallin coming home for me to really snap out of it. I'm not quite c...

Tuesday, June 2, 2015. We just finished Into the Woods. And I am sobbing. Remember that new growth in my heart? It just can't take it. I can't handle motherless babies, or baby-less parents, or any other combination. And that movie had both. I also may or may not have sobbed in a children's book when the momma dragon lost her baby. For crying out loud. I am still feeling very pink and raw and tender and vulnerable. And I can't decide what to do about it. I love that boy. 03 June, 2015. Be one who nurture...
