Really
Just found out that 2 people I hold dear to my heart (My Pop's and mi abuela) are in Israel! Walking & witnessing where the Savior walked, talked, taught, smiled etc.. It was my Abuela's last request before she dies. They just decided to go a few weeks ago. If that's not Spontaneous I don't know what is.

Tender Moments
1. Driving home in the car Eve yells out "Mommy, I love you"! I respond with an energetic Motherese voice"I love you Eve!" and we went back and forth repeating those very words the whole way home.
2. A few weeks ago we were driving from San Diego to Utah and we stopped in St. George to walk on temple grounds. Eve was being a pill a good portion of the way that I just wanted to fly away and dissapear, but as soon as we step foot into the visitor center her countenance changed. She held my hand and pointed to every picture the Savior was in, saying "Jesus" with the biggest smile. When we reached the Christus she listen intently as the presentation began. She just wanted to run up to the statue of Christ. She kept saying the Lord's name over and over again in such a tender and loving way. Mark and I made eye contact with one another and just embraced that SWEET moment. For a brief moment I actually felt like a good parent. I got to be honest most of the time I don't feel that way because I feel like my daughter wants to be a little terror and I'm so stinking hard on myself it's insane, but like I mention earlier it was so beautiful to see her so HAPPY & FULL OF LIGHT! It was at this moment I understood what the Lord was saying when he said "Behold your little ones"
*I Know it seems like I fell off the face of the earth. It's kind of felt that way actually, but I will slowly but surely give the update on what's been going on these past 5 months. Crazy! Bear with me my Ohana:)
