Ok so I celebrated my 27th birthday better than my 26th. Last weekend we went home and I was able to spend time with all my family (Darrel's & my own). I enjoyed it so much that I didn't want to leave.
On the day of my birthday I felt bittersweet because it marks one year since my miscarriage. I don't like to dwell...so I'll focus on the best parts! I was called more times in one day from people who wished me a great day and new year! I was able to play with some wonderful babies and come home early.
Last night my husband arranged for a babysitter and we had a wonderful dinner just the two of us. It reminded me of when we were dating. And we had so much fun just being together and talking about things that weren't stressful or important. We kept talking and laughing.
I am learning more and more about how much family means to me. I am grateful for a loving husband and a sweet little girl. I'm even more amazed that Heavenly Father loves me so much that He sacrificed His son so that I may live. And moreso than that...I know that He has made a way for me to come back to Him. My Heavenly Father Loves me and is helping prepare me for His cause so that I can do His work.
I know more than anyone that I have faults and shortcomings. I know how much I have to work to do my part in this great work which is to be done. I am grateful for this new year and what will come as I journey along my path. For this I owe all that I have because there is no gift more precious than life eternal.

Happy birthday! I am so glad that you had such a great day--how fun that you and Darrel could go out. Hope this week's just as good! Oh, and I was talking with Laurie Cordaro, Clara's old OT, and she said you were shadowing (?) with her. Neat--she's a crack-up.
