5.24- Joaquin's sweet giggles and contagious smile, Baily's good mood, Baily had a blast playing with water slide at Amber's all day, Joaquin took a much-needed long nap, prayer in rough times, not giving up and losing hope- trying to stay strong and have faith in my Savior, not fighting with hubby during hard times, studied awesome GC talk "Preserving the Heart's Mighty Change," feeling great comfort & peace while reading scriptures, finding a solution and even though things can be hard to let go it felt good to let go & release that burden, hubby brought home BK for dinner- no cooking and no hot oven, A/C on a hot day, great FHE on family prayer and faith- and it counted as a PP goal, love my family so much!, stress free trip to the store without kids, internet's back on!
