I am loved and so are you

Hey guys. I sort of fell off the grid there for a bit so I thought I'd stop in with a little update.

I think I'm getting close to being ready to start this blog back up again. My dad's death has been a big blow for me and my family to say the least and I've taken the last 2 months or so to do some really serious soul searching and re-evaluating my life and my priorities. I'm so happy to say that I am in a very good place. I know that I will see my dad again someday and it gives me so much comfort knowing how busy he is up there doing missionary work. I've also tried to improve my life in every role I play; mom, wife, homemaker, friend, and church calling. I was an incomplete person when I was working on the blog before, so it always felt like work and other areas of my life were being pushed to the back burner. Now, I'm very happy with how I (and, of course, my Heavenly Father) have shaped my life and I can enjoy sharing with you guys. I'm so grateful for all that my Father in Heaven has blessed me with. I have an amazing family. I have wonderful, supportive friends and a church community that always looks out for me. I have this incredible gospel that gives me so much comfort about the past, joy in the present, and hope for the future. I am so completely loved. I pray that all of you know that you are, too.
