Welcome...

I see you've read my update and will now be joining me on my fresh new blog:) So much has happened this summer and so grateful Todd and I were able to accomplish so much. I am still teaching a 4th grade class. They were not able to hire one due to budgeting so I took over;) I will teach one more week for that particular class. Todd loves his job and will continue his "special talent" of gardening this winter. What will he grow?.... you may ask. Well according to Todd, he has a list such as broccoli.... and...well i forgot the others, but I'm sure it will do wonderful as his gardening job did this past summer.
Today is 96* and boy am I ready for it to cool off. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. We have been calling our little one TJ (Todd Junior) instead of baby. We have compiled a list of names and will bring them to the hospital to see which one he looks like. I feel him move around everyday...I love it! The poor kid is probably so tired of my voice though, hearing me teach all day:)

Last night my parents and I went over to some friends house for Sunday dinner and they shared this video clip with us. It truly is a beautiful message. Trials and tested faith always comes my way when I begin to get too comfortable with life. When everything is so wonderful, and I think boy isn't everyday so great. Boom...I get hit with a trial or something to test my faith. I have learned time and time again that I can overcome. I have a Savior who has given me the ability to use the atonement in my life. Often I forget that the atonement is having the Savior carry the burrden. He suffered so that I would not have to. He knows how I feel, and to me that is so comforting!I cannot be greatful enough for this blessing and His sacrafice...
