What I am Grateful For.......

I am Preparing my Relief Society Lesson and This year as a presidency we decided to do our Presidency discussions on President Hinckley's B's. So I am talking on Being Grateful. This lesson has so many different things that have come to mind and I am really enjoying getting this prepared. Of course I am Grateful for so so many things. But one thing for sure is that Families are Forever. I am so grateful that I am going to be with my family forever. My love for my Ben and Bella is undescribable. I would do anything for them I love them so much. I truely have a testimony of Family's being together forever. I am so grateful for so many things and truely grateful for the Gospel.

Bella is seriously soooooo much fun right now. I am loving every minute of it. She surprises me every day and I just have no idea how she keeps getting cuter and cuter. I guess she gets it from Ben cause he gets cuter and cuter every day too. I love them so much. Bella is starting to talk so good now and she is so smart. Her Favorite show right now is "Beast" (Beauty and the Beast) She asks for it every morning. I love it so we watch it every morning while I clean the house and get ready for the day. Her Best Friend is Maddie Meredeth our next door neighbors little girl. They are sooo cute together. Whenever they play together they go upstairs in their rooms and Ben found them the other day in the closet reading books. They get so excited to see each other. I am so glad they have that Friendship. I hope it is a forever Friendship like I have always had with my Best Friend that I met when I was 3. Tosha we have and always will be Best Friends.

I am Truely Grateful for so many things. Life, Love, Family, Friends, The Gospel, The Atonement, and so much more that I get to enjoy.......

Come What May and Love It.....

Come What May, and Love It...

This is going to be my theme for the Year! I absolutely love this talk. It was given by Elder Joseph B. Worthlin In the October 2008 General Conference. I remember this talk because it touched me so much at that time. It was only 2 months since we lost Val and I was still of course having a really hard time. I was pregnant with Bella at the time no one but me and Ben knew. Mark, Ben and I got to go to that saturday afternoon session and it was amazing. You could feel the spirit so much. I know that this talk and so many others were meant for me. This talk inspired me and has so many times since. This year I am deffinatly going to do exactly that Come What May, and Love it. Me and Ben have had to deal with so many trials in our life, but I have learned so much from each one of them. My testimony has grown from each one. I am grateful for all of them. I know that there are more trials to come, but I am going to fight and make the best out of what we have. Like Elder Worthlin said COME WHAT MAY, AND LOVE IT.............

Bella's Christmas From Santa:)

Christmas was so much fun this year! We were able to stay Home and it was just Ben, Bella and me! We enjoyed every minute of it! Bella had a blast with all of her new toys!

I LOVE being a Mom and Wife! It definatly has its rewards! The little moments make it the Best! Like today I picked Bella up to help me with the laundry and she hugged me and put her head on my shoulder! And that is rare cause she is such a busy body. I loved it sooo much! It is little moments like that, that you have to stop and Cherish!

Christmas At The Imlay's

Christmas for the past two years have been bittersweet! Of course Christmas Eve is my Favorite Holiday! There is so much love people thinking of others! Bella has been so much fun. Ever Since Val died everything has been so different. Good and Bad. New and Old Traditions are starting and of course many Changes along the way. There have been many things happen this Christmas Season that have been really making me realize how Blessed I am.... First of all my Husband. He is the most Amazing Husband in the Entire World. Even typing this post just makes me smile. He makes me laugh and helps me relax when I get so stressed. He helps with Bella so much and the house. He is just Amazing and I love him so much. Oh and Bella......Bella is the light of our lives. She is so funny and her giggle her giggle is the cutest little thing ever. I just love to hear her laugh and she is so Happy. One thing that she does right now is every morning when she wakes up she playes in her crib and talks and talks. Then when she is ready to get out she yells "Mom, Mommy, Dad Daddy" until one of us comes to get her. Then when we get in there she gets the biggest smile on her face and then she will gather everything in her crib to hand to us. Her baby doll, Stuffed puppy, Blankets, Bink's, Bottles and everything else she can find. Once she is done gathering everything handing it to us arms full, she wants us to get her. I think it is the cutest thing. She is just so much fun and this Christmas with her was of course so much fun. We enjoyed every minute of it. I love the Holiday Season for a couple of reasons....Giving to others....Thinking of others....Remenising about loved ones.... Family.... Thinking of Christ and What he has done for us.... I love that we are so blessed to be able to share this wonderful time of year with the ones we love!! I love my family and I am so Blessed to have them in my life.
