I know I have been a big slacker when it comes to my blog these days. I believe I have been feeling sorry for myself lately and felt that I had nothing good to write about. I guess i just needed a reminder of what is truely important! A very good friend of mine said something to me a week or so ago that really hit me and made me realize that I need to change my attitude about a lot of things...she said that she was going to be positive about everything and good will come her way! How true is that! Tonight Ben was able to be home...for once...and we took the boys to a .50 movie (can't really beat that!) and to a fine dining dinner experience at the mall food court. We had such a good time. I have been so consumed these past weeks with work and other distractions that I feel I have put what is really important...my family...on the back burner. Tonight I laid with both my boys as they feel asleep and was overwhelmed with gratitude. I love them so much and I am so blessed to have them here with me! Starting today I am going to start looking for the good in all and be grateful for what I have! I am a very lucky girl.

You ARE blessed punkin! But sometimes it isn't easy to see it with all the worries of life. I'm glad you have a good friend who can help. I wouldn't make it very far without my good friends and family who help me find the 'silver lining' sometimes! Love you sweetheart!
I hear you girl. sometimes the chaos takes over and we have to make it a point to remember the important stuff.
Love you steph
I am so sorry you are so overwhelmed! I wish I could be there to help. Your are truly blessed to have such beautiful & healthy kids. Just remember what we are here for,and to stay close to your Heavenly Father and everything will be okay. Love you & miss you!
All of us have days, or weeks like that. It just takes one good day to turn it back around. Keep smiling.
You're boys are adorable!
So I found my journal from high school last night. I was reading it and laughing at what a dork I was and I came across a memory of us at Bob's Deli. I totally forgot we worked there together. I was always so jealous of your other friends you made while working there!! It was a good memory.
Miss you Steph!
Stephanie, Since Heather and Ben seem to spend a little time in the late hours of the day, I was wondering if you needed to be tucked in at night? We can take turns. :-)
Austa,
Chris
Steph, I can't be held accountable for what chris says....:) By the way if anyone else is reading this ben and I work together in salt lake and we carpool/////
Way to make me cry Steph! As if I haven't cried enough lately. I am seriously such a bad friend. I have never even seen Cameron in person. Let's try to get together sometime in the next few weeks. I totally miss you! NOt to copy Becky, but I was thinking about visiting you when you worked at Top Stop. Those were the days...
steph,
on a serious note.... pink fluffy slippers on....
ok serious this time hee hee! can you tell chris and I are bored?
anyways steph, I want you to know that when I look at you I know exactly how you are feeling, because I am feeling the same way... You are such a wonderful mother and wife we all love to be around you and miss hanging out. We'll get through this right, good things will happen! If we believe that it will then it WILL! just know we are thinking of ya... love your face sweet girl....
Amen to that. After a day of reading blogs I tend to feel the same way. I love that reminder to look for the good. The more you look the more you will find.
So I was glad to read that I wasn't the only one you made cry:) I know how it feels, I feel that way a lot. You are one of the strongest people I know, and I really look up to you. I miss you and everyone else too so much it sucks, but one day we all will be through our rough spots (hopefully;). Love you!
You are funny.. Jenn and I were just saying that we usually know the truth about how things are but we never hear you complain. You are always a positive person and I admire you for what you do. I always have a hard time going back to work after having a baby, but you have done more than that. You are an over achiever! You and Ben both work so hard for everything in life and I never hear a complaint.
Amen! You are awesome! I Miss you. I get a kick in the pants all the time! So nice to know I'm not the only one.
So wonderful!! Amen! Practicing optimism and positivity are goals of mine too!
