Full of Gratitude

I have no words to express my gratitude for the gospal in my life. Eldon and i are blessed to have recieved a call to be nursery workers. I LOVE IT!!! Those sweet children bring so much joy and love. They know so much and the simple little lessons taught are so helpful and it is amazing to see these cute youngsters take the principles and use them in class. They sometimes don't like to share the toys, but that is a lesson that you continue to learn all your life.

I was blessed to see an outpouring of love and a beautiful tribute to an amazing person who's life ended way too soon. I don't know how anyone can get through such tragedy and loss without the peaceful knowledge of the plan of salvation. The light of Christ is the most amazing a comforting tool that we have to use to guide us through. If only we all had neon signs to make sure we never forget.

One week down!!!

This has been a very exciting week in the Gomez house. Eldon and I are starting to fit into our new rolls, Eldon working and taking care of the house and the cooking (he is so BRAVE) I have the best hubby in the world, he doesn't want me to stress out too much this semester so he is taking care of everything so I can just go to school and work.

School is great. They changed the dress code so we can actually wear jeans now YAY!!! I LOVE doing hair so school is fun for me, waking up and getting there on time is a challange. I have set a goal to be in bed by 9:30 on school nights, so far I made it once. It is a work in progress. All of the girls I started school with are not in at the same time as I am so I am blessed enough to have to step out of my comfort zone and meet new people.(blah) It actually has been really nice, I have been getting to know a girl who placed her baby for adoption in Nov. It is AMAZING to see the miricle of adoption from the birthmothers perspective. She is so strong and is a very sweet girl and I hope we are able to get to know each other better. She is such an inspiration to me and gives me hope.

It seems like Eldon and I have just become so much closer over the last few weeks (who knew that was possible) I am so blessed to be married to my BEST friend. I never knew I could love someone so much, I fall more in love with him every day we share together. He is such a support to me through all of my hard times and crazyness with the hormone pills I was on the past 2 years. He has to be the MOST patcient person in the world to put up with me. Being married is the best thing in the world. It makes me so sad when I see marriages fall apart or hear people are not happy. I am so greatful to be married in the temple I know that if we did not have the Lord with us in our marriage we could not be as happy as we are.

Okay Finally!!! I actually found the time to sit and write. Hello All I have missed you. Here starts a quick overview of the last 2 and 1/2 months.

Halloween- Eldon had to work as ALWAYS...............work was Crazy awesome, my whole department dressed up, our part of the office was completely decked out, it looked like a freaking haunted house. All of the kids came in to trick or treat, and holy hell my sisters decided to come together (a miracle) so there I was taking 8 children ages 10,8,6(x2)4,3,2 and a 11 month old. Lets just say it was an adventure. All in all it was a great day.

November- This is one of the Crazy months for my family. Not only is my birthday in this blessed month there is also 5 other family members' birthdays. There is really one a week. So we were all crazy busy with that and trying to get things ready for Thanksgiving. Which was AMAZING. We were with Eldon's side of the family this year. It was so fun, we all got there early and hung out for most of the day. I made 5 pies, rolls, cranberries, and yams(Eldon actually made them). MMMMMMM and Alma makes the best turkey.

November 30Th- My birthday!!! really it should be a national holiday. I had to go to school(so not fun) then I went and hung out with my mom for a bit while Eldon finished his day at school, then my dear sweet hubby took me out, we had such a great time. OH we went and saw the Blind Side. It was a very inspirational movie, it was so good. And dear hell I want to be like that momma.

December- We started it out with going on a carriage ride through the lights at Thanksgiving point with our Fabulous friends the Larkins. That was way fun, but way cold. I took Talia to my work Christmas party we saw A Christmas Carol. It was scary, I wouldn't go see it with young children. Talia decided she wanted pizza for lunch from sizzler. So we went and ate while waiting for my mom and sisters to come up and meet us so we could go to the festival of trees.(one of my favorite things about the Christmas season). School ended for the time being. My sweet little pollo face hubby (I am SO proud of him) Finished his B.A. in English, with a minor in literacy. He is so BRAVE. lets see Aria's 2Nd Birthday, Noche Buena, Christmas and New Years.....................

GOODNESS!!! I really feel like I haven't been able to breath, we have just been constantly going. But we are very Blessed to have such wonderful family so close that we can spend so much time with. Over the past week we have been setting new goals and deciding what we need to focus our time and energy on. It always amazes me that once you make the decision to be better the Lord is right there to guide you through it. I can not tell you the comfort and peace that the Spirit of the Lord has brought into my life in the past week. I know that the trials that we all face are made perfectly for the person. I am so grateful for the opportunity my Heavenly Father is giving me to learn and to grow and to become better and stronger and much more patient person. If you ask he is ALWAYS there, and if you ask he will help you stay positive through your trials. I KNOW this to be true.

UP NEXT The plans for the next couple of months.
*Try to get through school without dying (I am taking 30 hours a week this time with 30 hours of work) I am going to have to be really brave.
*Get Eldon accepted to a good school (praying for Utah)
*Pass home studies

I am sure there is more. I guess you will all have to stay tuned to find out.
