It feels good to be on the other side

This past weekend was great. Daniel and I met up with his old young mens president when he use to live in Chicago. We met up at the Temple square and had lunch at the top of the Joseph Smith building. We talked about everything. He seemed like a very spritual guy, and he kept telling Daniel how proud he was of him and how he's come a long way. After lunch we went downstairs to say our good byes, and as he was walking away he turned around and called out Daniel and we turned around and he said " It's good to see you on the other side". Well let me tell yall, I cried, and I totally felt the spirit. I guess it's because I knew where i was in my life spiritually.

 In the darkest and lowest times of my life, I felt so alone and unworthy to ask God for help. I didn't know any better and I didn't understand the gospel. So I did what anyone else would do at that moment. I just kept living life,and doing whatever made me happy at the moment. I was blinded by the world, so I couldn't see the bigger picture. It took me a while before I really opened my eyes and see far beyond then what was in front of me.

As I look back at everything that I went through, it totally has made me stronger and it has made me who I am today. I love the way things are in my life today, it's not perfect but it's better than before. My love for the gospel has grown, and my love for the Lord is stronger than ever. So today i'm glad to say that it really does feel good to be on the other side.

Because I love you guys

Daniel has been working long hours lately, and when he gets home he's usually too tired to spend time with me and baby. So it has been bothering me lately. I complain when he gets home about how he needs to stop working long hours and to just come home and spend time with us. I complain about how he's always too tired to do anything.

So yesterday Daniel went to work from 7 til 7 last night, and it made me mad. I called him and he said his boss needed his help so he had to stay. When he got home last night I asked him if he even wanted to be home or to even spend time with us. He looked at me and said " babe I work long hours because I love you guys because I want you guys to be okay when you need something". I looked at him and said okay love.

So today before he left for work I told him that I was grateful for him and for working hard. I truly am grateful for him and for the kind of person that he is. He is a hardworker and He loves us very much. I should be grateful for that, but i felt like i've been selfish. I do miss my husband and I wish sometimes we were rich so that way he could be home with me and our son. But for now I should be grateful for him and for all that he does for our family.

So today i promised myself to be supportive no matter what. I told myself, instead of complaining about not having enough time with him. I am just gonna enjoy the time that we do have , even if it's just five minutes . Having little time with him is better than not having time at all. So thank you Love for taking care of me and and our son.

Oh baby Ua


So baby Uale likes to crawl all over the place now and touch everything. So what i do is I put him in his play pin, so he won't be able to crawl over the place. and well this is what he does when i put him in there.

He sometimes loves being in there and sometimes he screams his head off. And now he holds on to the side of the play pin so he can stand up, oh! and one time he tried to climb out.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND

Im still sore from yesterday. Ben and Tony decided to gang up on all of us. They started attacking us from the back and around the corner when weren't looking. They attacked us with water balloons and the water hose lol.  Oh poor Daniel, Lijah, Ula, and Chelle cause they got it worse. Tony picked up Ula and threw her on top of Daniel cause she was tryin to help him and Ben just sprayed them with water. It was hilarious. When Ula was kicking Ben her leg went around daniels head and her butt hit him in the face. Oh but poor chelle she was in the house looking out from the window laughing, and thinking that she wasn't gonna get it but as soon as she came out, Tony picked her up and took her over to the water and started spraying her. Oh i wish i could put up the video but dont know how, so for now here are the pics.
