When i was browsing on Pinterest this morning, i came across this:

I think too many people need to remember who said this. There are too many LDS and Non-LDS people out there these days that think they need to be the judge of everyones life. 

Hopefully this reminds you to be nicer to others, everyone has their own trials. 

I dont know about you, but im going to try to do better. 

Thanks Pres. Uchtdorf!! 

The only things that matter.

Instagram and Twitter have been the bees knees for me lately. Not so much FaceBook.... So this morning when i was browsing around on twitter... this tweet came up on the top tweets... "Don't assume my posts are about you. But if you're affected, then that must mean you're guilty of something." I instantly smiled when i saw this post, of course retweeted and shared on instagram... I have been so sick of Facebook lately. Drama, Drama, Drama... "so and so thinks this is about them" and "so and so is offended by this" and "so and so has an opinion about this and that and this and that." seriously Facebook is all about Judging others lives. SO sick of it.

i just need to take a deep breath and remember how happy i am. I am SO happy with life. I was way too worried about what others thought about me that i couldn't and didn't enjoy the little things in life. Life is so great right now. I have THE best husband in the world. He does everything he possibly can to provide for Alexei and I. he works so hard, Wakes up at 4:00 a.m. drives to SLC starts work at 5:00am and works until about 2:00 gets home around 3:00 pm... he is going going going all day and I'm so proud of him. He worked so hard to get a job with Pepsi and I'm so happy he finally did. He's loving his job, We have great benefits AND discounted Pepsi products haha j/k. 

Alexei is the best baby ever. She is seriously the highlight of my day.  I look forward to every morning when she wakes up because i know the second i open the door to her room, she has a HUGE grin on her face so happy to see me. She is my best friend. She loves me no matter what I'm wearing, how stressed out i am, what i say, or how bad of a mood I'm in. i love when she walks up to my leg and lays her head down on it giving me loves... and those kisses... i just cant get enough of them. 

I am so blessed to have such a beautiful family. And i have to say that mine truly is the best. 

I love you Nicholas and I love you Alexei!
