I miss Mom

My friend started a blog. One of her friends commented that there is somewhere that will bind your blogs so you can have a journal. I thought this was a great idea and it got me thinking that I should write things down that I don't want to forget and hopefully I will be able to find this place that she was talking about. Anyways, a few of you I have already told this but I need to write it down. So, as we all know we are going to have another baby. With this pregnancy has come a lot of emotional experiences for me. First of all, this is the first pregnancy without Mom being here. I don't like going through it without her but it is something I have to do. I find myself crying everyday, sometimes I don't even know why. I have been really sick throughout this one also. In times past, I would go to mom's house and she would take care of me. This time I just find myself praying a lot. When I say a lot, I mean a lot. I sometimes think I am going to drive Heavenly Father nuts with all my prayers. I finally broke down and asked Vita for a blessing. After, I have felt somewhat better. Can I just say how thankful I am for a husband who is able to give a blessing whenever we need one? I have had dreams of mom now for the past two weeks. I think it is her way of letting me know that she is here with me through this one. I am sure that I am driving Tevita nuts and I know it is not easy for him to see me so sick all the time. I hope he knows how truly grateful I am for him and the support he gives me. I made him take me to the cemetary today and we just sat and cried for a few minutes. I know that this is by far the hardest one I have had to go through, not the sickest, but the hardest because mom is not here. Let me just say that I truly love the example that my mom was to me. She was my best friend and I miss her more than anything. I miss her hugs, I miss her hands, I miss her smile...I miss the comfort that she was to me. I only hope that I can be as good of a mom to my kids as she was to us. I know that everything will be ok. I can feel it. I know that I have the support of my family that is here and I am thankful for that. I know that Mom is happy now. I have questioned that but after the last two weeks I know in my heart that she is truly happy. She is not suffering anymore and for that I am grateful. I am so thankful for our knowledge that Families can be together Forever.

Hey Jodi, I understand what it is like to lose a parent. I can't believe my dad has been gone for nearly 12 years. I can't say that you will never miss her. I think about my dad almost daily. I think he would have made a great grandpa. I miss him a lot. I am just so greatful for the plan of salvation. I am looking forward to the time when I will be able to be with him again and to have him meet my husband and children. It is a great comfort knowing that he is doing great work where he is. I hope all is well. It is such a blessing to have these 2 extra little spirits come into your life at this time. What a great gift!!!

About Me

Tevita and I met 13 years ago in Provo Utah. What a cutie he was! In June we will have been married for 12 years. It is hard to believe that we have been married that long but yep, here we are coming up on 12. We have 5 beautiful children that keep us pretty busy. We also have 3 angel baby boys that we know we will be with after this life. We have so many different personalities in this house but there is one thing for sure...we love each other and are grateful for this family! What a great life!
