Hmmmm......Cupcakes

I have had a rough month....it seems all that could go wrong did. Everyone is healthy and safe but everything else seems to keep falling down around me. It's in those moments that we turn so completely to Heavenly Father. Why is it that I can't just do that from the start? Anyway that is a topic for another post.

But this post is a happy post about the sweetness of Heidi Jansson. I was just doing the mom thing last night reading with Jason and the phone rang....it was HEIDI! She had extra cupcakes and was going to deliver them to ME!!!!! WHAT???!!!! Yes is was true and she did it! They were so very very delicious I would have eaten every one of them if my family wasn't there...but they were so I shared. :) Heidi said, I thought you might need a cupcake...she has no idea how true that is. The Lord knows everything we need...even if it's just a cupcake.

Education Week and the First Week of School

I took a GIANT leap of faith this year and went to education week. What a year to decide to go...the year the district changes the school year to start a week early! I have a knack for doing things the hard way so I really shouldn't have expected anything else but...I did!

Jimmy is such a great guy...he is a good dad too, he never minds when I want to do something (he does however mind when I give him jobs to do around the house :)). He got the boys up and out the door everyday (they had to buy lunch though!) but he did a great job and the boys survived and I went to education week. When I came home and things got back to "normal" I think they (Aaron & Jason) were wishing I would go back to education week!

Everyone tells me what an amazing thing education week is..."whatever" is what used to think, but after being there for a week and learning so many things I don't think that anymore. I didn't really know how empty I was until I got filled up! I loved this experience. I cannot really tell you all I gained, all I know is I feel like I have been given a fresh start. I loved it. It was worth whatever sacrifice had to be made. I think ANYONE who reads this should go...soon!! It is a great blessing to me to have been able to attend something so amazing.

That's all....
Here is a picture of the boys Jimmy took on the first day of school and sent to me. An added bonus...got to spend some time with my sweet baby Brittany!! It was a good trip!
