P.S. I Love You

We sat down last night to watch this movie and I had already fallen in love with these characters as I had read the book. I cried from the beginning til the end. I’ve been having issues with death as it is and I really think I shouldn’t have watched this movie. I think it all started when Robert died. I began dwelling on death. I’m scared of someone I love dieing. I’m scared to die and leave the ones I love. I can’t even fathom the idea of not having my husband next to me. He’s my best friend. When something bad happens, it’s Him I go to. When something good happens, it’s Him I go to. I never want to lose Him. I love Him.

I know that none of us make it out of this world alive. It’s all in God’s hands and I know things will get better for me in this department as my faith is grows. As my testimony grows.

As for the movie, they butchered the book. It was a wonderful movie and I really did love it, but the book is 100 times better – but isn’t that always the case?

Layout for Ella

So the plan is to have this printed and framed and hung above Ella’s crib. The picture used in this layout is of me leaning over Ella right after they took her breathing tubes out. It’s still a work in progress – I think that I might put the wording on vellum and do something with that… any suggestions would be great if you have any! I get the feeling of it being too simple, but in a way I think that’s what I’m shooting for since it’s going above her crib.

10 Reasons I Blog

I was tagged over at Be It Ever So Humble for a meme. She actually tagged me a while ago and I haven’t gotten to it yet, because I actually have been putting some major thought into this one. It’s 10 Reasons Why I Blog. So here it goes…….

  1. I started to blog mainly to update friends and family that are in CA ~ so while it has progressed way beyond that, it’s a place to update everyone on our new life.
  2. It’s a place where I can write about how I feel. Plain as it is, good or bad, my feelings are documented. So you can say it’s like my journal sometimes.
  3. It’s going to be made into a book yearly. It’s our family history. It’s where I go to update on milestones on the kids, things we do as a family and it’s nice to know that it’s all in one place.
  4. I get great advice from other bloggin’ mamas and that is a HUGE plus to blogging for me.
  5. I’m able to share with others recipes, advice, parenting tips and all other kinds of things that work for me.
  6. I’ve learned a lot from the blogging world. I really enjoy going to other blogs and reading and learning from other bloggin mamas.
  7. I’m getting back into the Mormon church after many years of being in-active and it’s nice to be able to blog about my experiences with it. I even have a blog that’s specifically towards my journey in reading the Book of Mormon – which, I’m going slow, but I am going.
  8. Unlike a mommy forum (MY HEART FORUM GIRLS – I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT OUR SWEETHEARTS FORUM), which is just filled w/catty girls, a blog is a place that doesn’t argue w/me about my ideas and tell me what I’m doing wrong as a parent. After I left the forum I started this blog and I’ve never been happier.
  9. It’s my escape from life. It’s my place. My little world.
  10. I love to check my tracker and see what brings people to my blog. You’d be amazed at the google searches people do.

So I’m going to tag Tammy, Becky, & Kimberlee & GoofyJ

Digital Scrapbooking

I was looking at my digital scrapbook gallery today and I got this overwhelming feeling run through my veins. I cannot believe that I have put off scrapbooking for so many months. I LOVE digiscrapping. Here’s a couple of my layouts that I’ve done in the past. I think I’m going to try to get at least one layout done a week. The above are a couple of my favorites.
