Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

I love this picture of my man and my boy so much.  A little peek into life at our house.  David is busy every day of the week.  

Sundays are pretty much all day for meetings, church, counting tithing, and then being with us.  

Mondays he's at school until 7pm.  

Tuesdays work and school, then I'm off to mutual with the young women at 7 and we don't see each other til like 8:30 pm.  

Wednesdays it's school + work and then he goes to bishopric meeting at night.  

Thursdays it's school + work and then a 2ft prosthetics meeting at 6pm. 

 Fridays it's school + work and then hopefully date night! 

Saturdays are all about studying and working in the ceramics lab on projects. 

 I'm busy too, working m-f and taking care of Harrison.  In all of it though, we have fun together in the minutes we get.  When David's home and Harrison isn't in bed, they're playing together and david is making him laugh.  We go on walks (when it isn't freezing), have family prayer together (harrison is working on the sitting still part), watch the office together (we are superfans), enjoy good company with friends and fam, support each other in our church callings, support each other in our school life.  Sure things aren't perfect, there are days I reach a boiling point and lose my patience with everything.

There are plenty of days I have no dinner planned, there are no clean dishes or underwear, I can't find my keys, there is food all over the floor where Harrison played the food drop game, etc.  Those days David is an anchor where I am the crazy waves flailing about. He helps me reminder to laugh about it and just flow with it. I feel like when one person is freaking out, the other is strangely calm.  It's this crazy balance that happens.  Thank goodness for my husband.    He is my best friend and I love him.

I've learned many times over the past few years that you need to enjoy the journey.  That "life is to be enjoyed, not just endured" -Gordon B. Hinckley.  That is on my wall now.  A good reminder each day.  Don't wait to be happy, choose to be now!

Other things that brighten my day, parties! Especially when your guest are willing to participate in games that make me laugh. Harrison's first birthday par-tay didn't go as planned since it SNOWED all day that day! But we still had fun =)  Cue pictures below.
