What A Life!

Mine that is. Lately, I have had a little pity party. Not a big one, just a baby one. Like it was so little, it couldn't even be considered one. I was recently driving on the BYU-I campus and was reminded that I haven't finished college. I was going to but thought it was best at this time in my life and for my situation to be at home with what is most important. Well, as I was driving I saw kids going to class or wherever they were going and I got a little sad that I'm not in school learning and finishing my degree. I don't feel like that a lot, but seeing all the buzz and kids going out and about to class, it just kind of hit when I saw it.

Now, here is where my wonderful life comes in. When I start thinking about that, I stop myself! I have to step back and see the amazing things in my life. And all I can think is "What a life!" A lot of people haven't felt as happy as I have. Ever! And may never will. Plain and simple. I get to see my little guy grow and learn. He teaches me everyday! Whether it be patience, tolerance, or just to love someone no matter what they do. I may not be sitting in a class learning, but I am learning more than I ever could on campus in my own home! He shows me everyday how to unconditionally love. He loves me despite my shortcomings. Heavenly Father trusts me so much, He entrusted one of His beloved children in mine and Joe's care. What a responsibility!

Then their is the subject of my husband! Oh what a man! Talk about unconditional love! Loves me when I am nagging him. When I don't clean the house. When I am just down right unreasonable. He works harder than any single person I know. He is the most patient, loving, kind husband and father. Who can say that about someone? Not many!

Taking a look at my life in that light, really there is nothing greater in life than what I am doing right now in my own home! Such a great feeling!
