Fantastic Symphony: October 2013
http://fantastic-symphony.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Dwelling in the Light. Yes I know it's been a while, but I've seen people abandon their blogs over less :). It's that time of year, when I can't help but feel happy and blessed. Happy about new beginnings, about the familiar cozy weather ahead, about the vibrant colors of fall, about schedules, the smell of my childrens' hair when they come inside and upcoming family traditions! I've been trying to replace the word "busy" with "full". Sometimes I ask myself, did I choose this? My new favorite mantra in l...

http://fantastic-symphony.blogspot.com/2014/09/but-first-lemme-take-selfie.html
But first, lemme take a selfie. Today I'm 37 years old. What can I say? I have everything in the world any 37 year old could ever want, but here's a list of my favourites:. People: good people, cute people, strong people, nice people, loving people, spiritual people, people who serve, hard-working, smart people all around me, my favourites of whom I call family and friends. They are so good to me. September: I crown you the most beautiful month of all! Canada: this most blessed, beautiful country. The Lo...

Does this look like the face of someone who is going through a midlife crisis? If you said "No, she looks too young and fresh" it would be because I chose a moment when I looked surprisingly young and fresh and snapped a selfie before it passed :). I'm hanging on for dear life to the littleness of my kids. The all-consuming, exhausting days of parenting toddlers are waning. I exist to make everyone's lives possible but their lives don't revolve around me. Does that make sense? We had a neighbour. We quic...

I chose this title for my blog because of my friend who says he hates blogs because they make everybody's life seem awesome. Well, here it is, my awesome life :). Fall is in full swing. It's my favourite time of year, when I seem to reap the blessings of life and enjoy the harvest of my daily work. One day. The next. We've had many beautiful days this fall, and one of them we spent celebrating my nephew Christian turning one year. My Sister-in-law Katie pulled off a super fun, perfect little one-year-old...

Fantastic Symphony: March 2013

I'm not finished my investigation on happiness and I will let you know what I learn. So far I have learned some important things. I may not be applying. Them yet, but I have learned them! One important thing I have realized is that the Holy Ghost helps us to feel happiness and peace. I don't know why but I forgot about that for a while. I think as I try to have the spirit in my life, perhaps keeping the commandments a little better, it will lead to happiness because the spirit will be closer. The reason ...

The Truth about Afton. Afton hugs me by wrapping her arms around my neck and squeezing tight. Then she will give me the most delicious kiss, with all kinds of puckering power and a big " mmmwah.

When Jesse was born I changed because his happiness became more important than my own. I was willing to sacrifice anything to help him succeed and thrive. Of course looking back I did a lot of it wrong :) But I do feel like Jesse accepted my offering and knows how much I love him and we have a deep connection because of that! When he came back from Houston the other day he ran straight into my arms, gave me the biggest hug and cried! I was so glad that even though he had so much fun he still missed me.

I don't seem to take many pictures these days. Life is non-stop. One thing after another. Jesse participated in a Mandarin Bridge competition and won a third place medal. He is really talented at Mandarin. Now that I know what is involved I will be much better prepared next year. I was happy it was a good experience for him. Breanna learned to ride a bike. She figured it out on her first try. I was proud of her! Afton did her own makeup the other day. I think she looks so cute in them.

http://fantastic-symphony.blogspot.com/2014/11/its-over.html
It had to happen sometime I guess. Farewell bold blue skies, lush yellow leaves and crisp fall air. You have been so beautiful. Hello to the comfortable sight of snow dusting the ground and the tops of trees and the familiar crunch of it underfoot, the deep darkness urging me to hibernate, hibernate hibernate. He was finished by 9:30am and we didn't even miss one session of General Conference. Later that day we headed to Nana's for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. What a glorious day. The friends across ...
