Note to Self

We just got back from a half week in New York City.  I hope to post about it, but I'm seriously struggling to do longer posts these days just not easy for me with the kiddos.  I just need to remember a few things. 

This trip was just what we needed.  Something different, a break from house chores, I got some one on one with Priya Lynn, and Porter got to be spoiled by his Aunt Kal, Uncle Coup & his grandparents... It was a win win for every one.  I got some feedback as the plane started it's final decent and I felt so grateful for our life.  Manhattan was fun but not exactly a family place.  Being a Mom is the hardest job EVER, best job also.  I joked with my grandma a while back when she asked me why I couldn't keep up with the blog that it was because, "All my dreams came true".  Well, there is a lot of truth to that.  We have 2 beautiful, busy, brilliant children.  We own our own home that needs taking care of.  Aaron works at a job he loves.  We give regular time and effort into a Church we know to be true.  As we turned down our road last night Aaron said, "you know we really are living the American dream."  There we're so many women I bumped into in the city that didn't seem to understand why I'd want a baby at my age.  It was all about them at this point in their lives, bet they would have really flipped if I had told them I also have a 2 yearold.  All of this just helped me remember my passion for my family and life.  All my dreams have come true and yeah it's hard sometimes but that doesn't mean I need not be grateful for it.  I can think of nothing else I'd prefer to be investing myself in. 

Now, just remember that Meg when it gets tough!
