These are the days of our lives

So I promised ya'll that I would let you know how I did this week without eating sugar. Let's just say that I had an epic failure. I could make 100's of excuses but the truth is.. I LOVE SWEETS! But more importantly I learned this week that it is important to have balance. So instead of saying I am going to eat and I am not going to eat that I am saying "the heck with diets" and I am sticking to the good ol' theory of moderation in all things. Plus it would be a shame to go through the easter season and not eat one of the mini cadberry eggs. You know the ones I am talking about.... the thin candy shell with the delicious milk chocolate inside. What a little gift from Heaven above! hahah I don't know if thats blasphemy but what can I say... I am grateful for the little things in life!

This week has been a pretty normal week. We are getting more and more excited to move and our house is pretty much packed. Brandon even made me leave out just enough clothes to get by with for the next week 1/2 so that he could pack the rest of them. He has been the one that is packing everything! What can I say.. my husband is the best! He is amazing! Speaking of Brandon he did have a Birthday on Friday and he can now legally rent a car in California without having to pay extra renters insurance! He is 25! I am still a young buck at just 22... so he is getting on in years while I am staying young and beautiful! hahah JUST KIDDING.. he is still as handsome as the first day I met him, if not more. He has taught me so much lately. Yesterday I took out our (he got it for christmas) sewing machine and he taught me how to thread it! I know i know, I should be stoned for being a woman who doesn't know how to sew but I was more of the athletic type growing up... not so keen on the sewing and cooking thing. Now that I am married I wish that I would have been more open to trying those things when I was growing up so that I could cook and sew and even scrapbook. I am definitely not the creative type but give me a ball and I could teach you how to do some pretty cool tricks! I guess it all depends on what you like and what you're good at. Anyway, back to Brandon's birthday... we went out on friday and picked him up a gun and a scope and today I came home to an empty house. He took Lola (our lab) and went shooting. What he is shooting... this I do not know... hopefully nothing that he could get into trouble for.

My last thought of the day is this... This week I have learned that Heavenly Father will bless us in the ways that we need in our lives at that time. I would like to argue with him and say "NO I NEED THIS!" but I know that he knows what I need better than I know what I need. So I am grateful for the blessings that I do have and will keep praying for the righteous desire that we have not seemed to be blessed with yet. Anger about others being pregnant and not myself is a waste of energy when I could be using that same energy to be happy and excited for them and to serve others. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and I know that I will one day have the blessing of being a mom, I just have to have faith, trust and patience.
