I am a mom. I have 5 adorable, beautiful and cherished children. I gave birth to 2 of them and married into 3. I believe motherhood is the most honored job I could ever have. Sometimes it is stressful, other times it is overwhelming but always it is a divine calling filled with a love not found anywhere else. My favorite words are "Mommy, I love you!" My children are the stars of my heart and the rays of sunshine in my life.
I am a wife. I have a wonderful husband whom I love with all my heart. He was an answer to a plea and a blessing to a prayer. On our very first date I knew it was the last "first date" I would ever go on. The first time we kissed, fireworks filled the sky (literally).
I am a sister. I'm the oldest of 6 children, 2 are autistic (including the only boy). My siblings mean the world to me. They are my strongest support group and my fiercest allies.
I am a daughter. There are generations of amazing people in my family history. Stories of their lives fill me with wonder and amazement and their courage inspires me each day.
I am a Mormon. I have a testimony of Jesus Christ and I'm grateful for His atonement which heals my hurt, heartache and sorrow. He is there to lift me when I falter and carry me when I am faint. He is my Savior and my Redeemer.
I have been lost and I have been found. I have been in pieces and I have been made whole. I have known deep sorrow and I have felt great joy. I have a story to tell and a journey to share. I hope to lighten your load with a skip in your step, a tear to your eye, a smile on your lips and a prayer to your heart.
