My Mother's Day

This doll above is from Kevin. I asked him why it was that he chose this one and he said, "I knew you had your last interview at the church and thought you would like an angel on your side praying for you." I like it, it is very pretty. He also gave me a card that was a humorous one with a note in it that he wrote. I had to ask him what most of it said because his hand writing is not very good and his spelling is about the same! I have to say that it was nice for him to remember a special occasion this year rather than him forgetting like he does so much of the time!!


Below is the doll that Adrian got for me. She is very pretty also and a really tall one! He tried to tell his dad that his choice was better because it was just an awesome one and it was a big one!! I like them both equally but they still had the argument over it! He also got me a card in which it said that he was grateful for me first but coming in second was that I lead him to the church and for that he is also very grateful!!


Ashley made me a card the morning of and basically stated that she was sorry that she is a pain in the butt but she is trying to get better and has already noticed that she has changed in some ways to be a better her. She wrote on the bottom of it that she was sorry that she didn't have a gift for me and my opinion is that the card that shared her thoughts and feeling is enough of a gift, I am not about the material things, words are enough!!

Mom sent me a card that made me cry!! She said in it how blessed Adrian and Ashley are to have me as a mom and then also mentioned Kayleigh and the relationship that her and I had had! It was awesome to read!!

I had my final interview to see about getting baptised again also on mother's day. I have been through several interviews on my way to get to this one and it seemed like I would never reach this one!! I went at 6pm and by ten after 7 the answer was given to me. Anybody curious???!! Just kidding, I would tell you even if no one was curious! I can pick the date and I can join the church once again. I did make a comment to the bishop and his councilors that regardless of the decision that they made, I knew where I was suppose to be and if the answer would be no, I would still be there in church each Sunday!! Fortunately the answer was yes but they did like what I said about knowing where I was suppose to be!! I am waiting for mom to be here to do it as I think it is important to have her present!! I wish the whole family could be here but I will have everyone in my heart so it will be OK!! Sometime before the end of this month is when I will partake once again of the blessings of the church and I can't wait. I have to say that knowing the blessings and then knowing how it feels to not have them anymore leaves a hole in one's soul and in one's heart. In the book, The Miracle Of Forgiveness and says that it is easier to not sin and not have to repent than it is to make the mistakes of the sins. I stand as a witness to this and know full well the hard road that I had to travel back to this point. It took many years for me to travel on that road but now I can breathe easier knowing that the hard part is over!!


So below is a picture of Samuels cupcakes. They went over well since they seemed to be eaten rather quickly!! In the picture there was only about a third of them frosted and I had to frost more before the end of the night!! We got Samuel a new shirt and tie for church as the one's he currently has been using are in not the best of shape!! Maybe these can stay nice!! Once again, happy birthday Samuel!
