Don't be sorry

Today I was starting to feel sorry for myself. Again! I was thinking about how this year has been pretty rough. Tommy going through the police academy and now in phase training has been hard on our whole family. Also, having another misscarriage this past May has been very hard. With November around the corner that will make one year that we will have been trying for another baby. Well what  I realized today is that it's not that bad!

Sure it has been a pretty hard year so far but as I was looking through pictures on my phone we have had some really fun times as well. Tommy's 30th birthday. Kids safari combo party Kennedy 3 and Oli 1. Trip to Utah and Sacramento. Plenty of beach time! Beach camping. Family dinners. We really have so much to be grateful for. It's just like we were taught in the last session of general conference, we need to be grateful no matter what our circumstances are. Tonight I'm grateful for our amazing family and the knowledge I have that we will be together for ever! We have our amazing parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and of corse our kids and most of all each other. 

Tommy was talking to me today about how he is feeling a little overwhelmed with work right now and getting ready for his test at the end of 3rd phase. I selfishly started thinking about how I too was feeling overwhelmed with everything I have to do at home, my calling, and with our families. Then on top of that I find myself never sitting down because I am constantly trying to make sure tommy gets as much rest as possible when he is home so he can be rested and alert while he is at work. Safe! Well later this afternoon I was thinking about how we always talk about both of us giving each other 100%. So what happens when we both are feeling overwhelmed at the same time? I don't think I have an answer yet but what I do know is that we need to pray together! Pray about it individually. With an eternal marriage like we have we are blessed to have made a covenant with our Heavenly Father and He will help us both give our 100%. So in the mean time while we are praying to figure out how to not be overwhelmed I am going to focus on the positive and do my best to be there for my husband. 

We have a great life started together and I'm really excited to experience the rest of eternity with my cute guy!!
