Let us relish life

12:50 PM

Yesterday was one of those days where I was just content with life. Evelyn and I were walking to campus to take Jake some dinner and all I could think of was how good my life was at that moment. It was a good feeling.

I am usually thinking about how great it will be when April comes and Jake is finished with school. Also thinking how great it will be when we finally have our own place, where we can finally settle down and make it ours. How great it will be when fall comes around and I'm not melting all the time. Always, always looking ahead. But then I remembered a talk by Thomas S. Monson about "Enjoying the Journey". There was a quote in there where he said, "Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows." That really hit me hard.

So as I took Evelyn on a walk to campus I focused on how good I have it. I have an amazing, loving and hard working husband who is trying to finish up with school as fast as he can so he can provide for our family. I have a wonderful, loving, quirky daughter who keeps me on my toes and loves me no matter what. I love that we get to spend so much time with my grandparents living in their basement and for the bond that Evelyn and great grandpa Ivan have formed. It's so precious to watch them interact and play together. He seems happier and younger when they are together.

I need to take it one day at a time and enjoy what's happening today. Not wishing for tomorrow. Because I have it good today.

Here are a few photos from our little walk to campus yesterday.
