Sometimes I get so busy doing "things" that I don't venture outside except to take my kids to school. A couple of weeks ago, Sean kept the kids while I went for a little ride by myself. I went to the garden and enjoyed the sunset. It was quiet. It was peaceful. It was beautiful. It was wonderful!
I prefer enjoying things like this with my family, but once in a while it's nice to do it alone and to be able to reflect on life and goals and to chat with my Father. (As a mom, it's easy to let the everyday chatter and commotion get in the way of well needed heavenly meditation. Don't you agree?)
I love being outside. Everytime I am outdoors I am amazed at the world our Father has made for us. It fills that little reservoir that slowly leaks away with the crazy things happening in the world today.
My Dad brought me up appreciating the beauty around me. Do you notice it? I'm so thankful he shared his testimony of the beauty of Creation and our Heavenly Father's love for us.
Tonight I took the opportunity to take the kids out on a walk and to run around the field across the street.
Again, it was wonderful! The sun was shining. The weather was nice. The kiddos were happy. We live in a beautiful place. I'm just grateful.

So when do you find out if you are having a girl or boy?
I completely understand how you feel. We have lived in so many different places and the beauty of this world is amazing no matter where we are. There is something about Heavenly Father's creation that soothes the soul in a way nothing else does. It doesn't matter if you are looking at the beach or the dessert there is not one place on this earth that the Lord created that is not beautiful. I love and miss you Lisa.

You are such an example to me Lisa! You always take the time to enjoy the little things that matter most and that is one of the many reasons I love and admire you! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I haven't checked your blog for a while and Stefanie Dowdy told me today that you are pregnant! I am so excited for you!
