Happy Mother's Day!!

Yesterday was a good day. It was extremely difficult for me in some ways, but it was a really good day in a lot of ways too. Church was not as hard to get through as I anticipated, which I was very grateful for. I've had several breakdowns in Sacrament meeting over the last few months, and I was able to keep myself composed yesterday--well, mostly. I only cried twice yesterday, and one of those times was when my sweet husband gave my his very thoughtful gift. I LOVE it, Babe! Thank you!! You seriously are THE BEST!!

After church we were able to go visit Dar's grandmother and we spent a couple hours visiting with her. I called my mom and Omie to wish them a happy Mother's Day, and sent text messages out to my sisters. Then Dar & I went and spent some time with his great Aunt Louise, who would have been alone for Mother's day otherwise. We had a delicious dinner with her--french dip, garlic roasted potatoes, and cheesecake for dessert! We had a great time visiting and spending time with her. I loved the stories she and Dar's grandmother told us. It's so fun to listen to stories of their past and learn wisdom from their experiences!

We hope you all had a very wonderful Mother's Day too!

P.S. If you feel so inclined, I wrote about mother's day as well - with a little bit of a different feel, but both are completely honest - on my other blog. To read it, click here.
