Overwhelmed

Most of the time, I am pretty good to think about things in small groups. For example- day to day activities, or church responsibilities, school assignments, work schedule, etc. Today however, I made the mistake of thinking about EVERYTHING that is going on in our life, and, as a result, had a mini-breakdown.
Maybe it's the fact that Trevor and I work full time, go to school full time, are parents full time, are spouses full time, and are broke. Or maybe it's the fact that we have four callings at church, don't see much of each other (as well as Tanner sometimes), are trying to figure out what in the world Trevor is supposed to do about school, and dealing with personal issues on top of that. It makes me exhausted writing it down!

I love to be busy, don't get me wrong. I have enjoyed school thus far, and love using my brain. I love, love, LOVE my son- it always seems that he knows just when to smile at me if I'm having a bad day or am feeling frustrated about something. I LOVE my husband- he is a good, good man and I am grateful for his support. I am grateful for a job, and grateful Trevor has a job. I'm grateful to be able to serve in our ward and to be a part of the builiding of Heavenly Father's kingdom, even if it is in such small ways. I'm not so grateful I'm broke, or that we experience certain trials in life, but I am working on that.

If I could only figure out how to not feel so overwhelmed with all of these things. I want to be the best mom, but sometimes feel short in that as I am away from him for sometimes a few days because of my work schedule. I want to be the best wife, but often don't feel capable of giving him the right support, time, or love. I want to serve my callings to the best of my abilities, but can never play the piano just right in piano, am scared to death to serve in Relief Society, and wish I had more time to individually get to know the girls I work with in Acheivement Days. I want to do well at work, but am often exhausted by the time it comes around. I want to be a good friend, but don't have time to do things with them. I want to be the best me, but often neglect the scriptures, and personal prayer with The only one who knows exactly what I'm going through.

Life goes on, and thus too is just a small moment in time. Our life won't always be like this, so I am working of finding the positive in what we have now. I have made a new commitment to set time aside each day for scripture study and prayer, and know that that will help. As for the rest, I plan to take it just one day at a time :>

And the Cutest Baby Is.....

So, thanks to my wonderful sister Camille, I heard about the Today Show's cutest baby contest, and well, I just had to enter in my little T man! (Cause let's admit it, is he not the cutest baby?) And because I cannot find my camera with the most recent adorable pics on it, I had to rely on ones already saved to my computer. So these are the ones I chose- tell me what you think!

It's About Time!

I have wanted to create a blog for the LONGEST time... well... ta-da!!!!! I need some major help with the cosmetics of this thing, but I can't have my cake and eat it too right?

The reason for this blog is rather selfish really (If people read, it's just an added bonus!) Trevor keeps telling me that I don't remember anything anymore since the birth of the T man, so I figure this will be a good place to come and write sweet somethings so that I can remember them the next day :>

I also want this blog to be a place to reflect on all of the blessings that our little family has and the tender mercies of the Lord in our live's, because I often do fail to recognize them, and am fast to forget them.

Well, here's to the start of something new! And please, if anyone feels so inclined to share with me a few tricks on how to work this thing, I would greatly appreciate it!
