After pondering about it all day I finally decided I just needed to write out what was on my mind.<br />
So here it is--addressed to "My friend's friend": <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
I may not know your story but I do
know mine. I had loving parents who divorced when I was young but they still
supported me as best they could. They tried to teach me everyday about family,
love, integrity, hard work, patience, and about God’s love for me. Despite
everything they taught, I still made mistakes—all of us do. Sometimes they are
bigger, other times minor. And the world teaches us that its ok… that everyone
makes mistakes. While that is true, it should not be justification for
knowingly doing something that you know to be wrong. It is important to think
about the consequences of your actions now BEFORE you reach a
point-of-no-return. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Would you listen blindly when someone tells
you not to “jump off a bridge”?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or
would you question—How far off the ground is the bridge? Will I get hurt? Will
I die? Has anyone else jumped off the Bridge? Is there a cushion at the bottom?
Is it fun? Who is going to do it with me? Is someone taping this? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Stop. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only question you should be asking is: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Why would you put yourself in a
situation where you <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">could</i> be hurt in
the first place? The world teaches us to question, to test the limits, and if
we get hurt or make a mistake, its okay that’s what “second chances” are for.
“Second Chances” are a gift. Given to you by someone who suffered more than any
other person that you know. He suffered so that you could repent, be forgiven,
and return to live in Heaven with him. So, WHY would you make that gamble with
your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">eternal</i> life? So many of life’s
mistakes are preventable, if we would only listen to our own moral compass, who
is screaming at us to stay on the straight and narrow path, but we refuse to
listen. How will you learn? How will you stay on the straight and narrow path? If
you know the consequences ahead of time, and we do, why would you do it any
way? It is far easier to make the right choices <u>the first time</u>, than to
suffer through the repentance process. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trust me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having made my share of mistakes I would hope that my
siblings, friends, family members, or anyone else reading this will learn from
it, so they will not have to suffer as I have suffered.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know what it is like to have a broken heart and contrite
spirit. The repentance process took me longer than I thought it would. But
changing the desires of your heart is hard. It was not fast. It was not easy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our generation is one of “instant messenger” “drive-thrus”
“instant video streaming”. Quick and Easy. Satan wants you to believe Life is all
about “Quick and Easy” and I will tell you here and now that if you do not have
a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">firm</b> foundation BUILT in
righteousness and in making <u>good</u> choices the only thing that is “Quick
and Easy” is the fall into Satan’s grasp—into misery, loneliness, depression,
lust, and shame. Satan uses illusions of happiness and love and warmth but his
delights of the body are only <u>temporary</u>. They do not last and they will
leave you feeling emptier and hollowed, and pulled even farther from the
Spirit. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I testify to you now, with all the knowledge that I have
gained down my long and bumpy road in life, that the good things are WORTH
waiting for. That Satan only has power over you if you allow him to. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am grateful for Christ’s Atonement, because despite all
the mistakes I made along the way, I WAS able to be forgiven. I have been able to
feel the everlasting warmth, light and love that the gospel has to offer, and to
know of Heavenly Father’s unquestionable love for me. And because I made the
choice to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stop</b> and Turn My Life to
Him, I am happier than I ever could have imagined. I am closer to Him and I
rely on Him more and more when trials, questions and hard times come up in my
life. Today, I am happily married and sealed to my beloved eternal companion,
who is my best friend and father to our children. We are a Christ-Centered
family, who also know of the power and love Heavenly Father has for each of us.
There is hope and happiness for those who want to change and who make the
commitment to do so. I do not know your specific circumstance or situation, but
I do know that we are all children of our Heavenly Father, and that means you
are <u>loved</u>; and there is always someone on your side even when you feel
alone. He knows you personally, better than you probably know yourself; he
knows your needs and the desires of your heart. You are worth more than you know. Through the Atonement, and the long
and hard repentance process, you too can gain a testimony of His love. <u>You</u>
can change the path and direction of your life. Agency is Heavenly Father’s
Gift to you. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

March was a great month! It was my birthday, Spring Break and National Craft Month so needless to say it was BUSY! The beginning of the month we drove down to Provo to say goodbye to Awesome's parents because we were so sick the week that they left that we never got to say goodbye. And Provo was really only a 5-6 hour drive and the kids did AMAZING in the car. We got in around dinner time and went out to dinner with them and Awesome's brother who also lives in Provo. It was a great night. <div>

While also in Salt Lake we were able to go to Ikea! My fave store ever. Awesome's least favorite. But he went anyway and I was able to get some craft project items that I had been wanting so I was stoked about that.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also were able to see some friends before heading home which was so nice. The last time we were able to see them Ky was only a few months old! Way too long. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The rest of the month for my was focused on crafts (see <a href="http://kyscraftymama.blogspot.com/">my crafting blog</a> for more updates on what I made and how!) There were a few contests going on so I was very busy with those. I also had a birthday in there, but once you are over 21 birthdays are really just another day. Especially when you have kids. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did some reorganizing for Spring Cleaning. Lil Man has stopped napping so he needed some books, puzzles and "quiet" toys in his room for quiet time. So we made his bed a bunk bed again and moved some toys and storage up to his room which helped make room for the new stuff I wanted in the playroom. Here are Princess and Lil Man playing in his room! </div>

But I will have to say that my favorite part of March was when my family came out for Spring Break! My little bro and sis are seniors in high school this year so tearing them away from their friends was a sacrifice on their part but I'm so glad they came! We went to the zoo: </div>

And both munchkins were fairly cooperative which is always a nice bonus!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Meanwhile Awesome's parents are getting closer and closer to leaving for Provo and then the plague hit our house... Okay maybe it wasn't really the plague but it was horrible. It started first for Wildman the Saturday before my in laws were leaving. He came into our room saying he got sick in his bed ad sure enough he DID. We got out the portable toddler cot (one of the best investments we've made) and set it up in our room. We got him all cleaned up and changed, got a bucket, and no sooner did we do that he got sick over everything we had just laid out and his new clothes. We re-did everything again and same thing about 20-30 minutes later. We were very quickly running out of towels and extra sheets. We decided instead of just changing him again we would try a bath. He even got sick in the bath but at least I was prepared with a bucket to catch this time. After the bath, I got him dressed and him back on the bed in our room and had a prompting to go check on Princess. (By this time Awesome had already left for work :-/ ) The first thing I noticed when I opened her door was the smell... I went to her and Lil Princess was lying face-down in a big pile of sick and my heart stopped. Worst fears were racing through my head until I saw her move then I knew she was just fast asleep. I got her up and in the tub. Once she was cleaned up, I stripped her bed... Now the 4 or 5 load waiting for the washer. Yuck. This was my life for the next two weeks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdMM0p6kwcfq9xPBhKtLyGhMWlwbyhKx5TT4-JVnD8wfPZL8PkHpo0lm6qvB7NXeeuGCjcFahYf4Q0cKsKi1Z9lCipOllwf_gspXeoStLUMt5TCq__md-CWX6QanHbpjdOjJqOtzEyW9M/s640/blogger-image-767494938.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdMM0p6kwcfq9xPBhKtLyGhMWlwbyhKx5TT4-JVnD8wfPZL8PkHpo0lm6qvB7NXeeuGCjcFahYf4Q0cKsKi1Z9lCipOllwf_gspXeoStLUMt5TCq__md-CWX6QanHbpjdOjJqOtzEyW9M/s640/blogger-image-767494938.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Let me take a quick moment and just be incredibly grateful for my washer and dryer.

We recovered from Christmas... And the illness it brought with it. We found out Awesome's parents got their mission call to Houston Texas but most importantly they we're leaving in only 6 weeks: March 3rd. <div><br></div><div>I knew it was coming. I should have been prepared for it. But a report date that soon really didn't give me too much time to really prepare myself that we/I was going to be alone here in our new town. Luckily, I've met some really great new people that are truly making the transition that much easier. </div><div><br></div><div>On with the rest of the month. Most of it I spent keeping myself busy and trying not to spend money. So hard. But with Little Princess's birthday coming up I took to Pinterest to find some DIY decorations and stuff I could make myself to make her 1st bday special. First project I took on was a "Chalkboard" style Birthday board... But instead for writing it out with chalk and stencils like my amazing best friend did for her daughter's 1st bday, I decided to use my new Cricut (thanks Mom!) </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCYKvoK5JKZoBeJ83uBnCtzzLvw9wXroR6nw_F6FXX324xc3wN-jfEw3pEmKfHcuuFHTkCN5_HkeJRdQO0LsOmQf3CCztDOGeHkVJybWYSliWalGOo_BpuVwvZqYrHYA4kPyQqsl4uxSU/s640/blogger-image--1886190451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCYKvoK5JKZoBeJ83uBnCtzzLvw9wXroR6nw_F6FXX324xc3wN-jfEw3pEmKfHcuuFHTkCN5_HkeJRdQO0LsOmQf3CCztDOGeHkVJybWYSliWalGOo_BpuVwvZqYrHYA4kPyQqsl4uxSU/s640/blogger-image--1886190451.jpg"></a>All in all I am pretty pleased,with how it all turned out.

It's gorgeous. Yard work is a new chore to add to the list but I'm so glad to have a yard!<br />

Alex picked this house out all by himself, put in an offer, AND bought it before I even got to see it in person. Now that's trust! He did good.<br />

Here is the backyard. HUGE! and it has a garden! Can't wait for next season to plant some goodies!<br />
<br />
And of course the Playground…its a huge hit.<br />
<br />
From way too hot 112 degrees in the summer to our to 0 degrees this winter… We've had a tough time adjusting from our constant 70 degree San Diego weather! But we'll get there!<br />

There are just so many amazing ideas and things that I want to try and do in my house, if I only had the free time to spare. But I finally was so inspired by one of the posts to actually go out buy the materials and FINISH a project. I know, right?! Must've been a really good idea... so here is my FIRST completed Pinterest Project (and hopefully not my last!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GcGtgIkFIcfeOfsADwA8YNVFrQJ-NiDDhq8jZdJSBRmybtJJW5qlMAaA9YVINr290cZxaSfREfDx6tOeyD6J53QvdZEBy35WrbPRaQxQ-WAI65Hw1IF8HX4yLpcAa41MLXlw-id5xqA/s1600/pinterest1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2GcGtgIkFIcfeOfsADwA8YNVFrQJ-NiDDhq8jZdJSBRmybtJJW5qlMAaA9YVINr290cZxaSfREfDx6tOeyD6J53QvdZEBy35WrbPRaQxQ-WAI65Hw1IF8HX4yLpcAa41MLXlw-id5xqA/s320/pinterest1.jpg" width="213" /></a>The Idea: Bookshelves at Kyler's level made from Ikea Spice Racks. Based on the instructions: they come plain and you have to paint them the desired color, assemble them, get the drywall anchors and the mount them. Seemed easy enough.<br />
<br />
A few hiccups and paint snafus but I finally finished and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Only Problem: </b>I haven't rearranged the room yet for our new arrival and Kyler can reach the left 2 shelves from his crib and pulled out ALL those books this morning! Whoops.<br />

I can't believe it! My little baby is NOT a little baby anymore. He is QUITE the little man. And he is SOO funny. He does things just to make you laugh. Such a ham!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Milestones</u></b>:<br />
--He is walking and running and my almost-6-months-pregnant-self can BARELY keep up!<br />
--He feeds himself with a spoon or the spoon and hand approach (adorable)<br />
And much to my delight he's not very picky (unlike his father) :-)<br />
--He says Dad and Dada and has said Mama a few times but no other words yet but he babbles ALL the time! As soon as he gets those words figured out he's going to be a talking machine!<br />

I was shocked! I looked at Alex and he said I can't believe that just happened! Which makes me even more frustrated when I say "Ky, come back here with that!" and he runs away faster! Little booger.<br />
<br />
<br />
He's just an all-around amazing kid. He's so smart and so well-behaved. I just hope he stays this way because if this pregnancy is any indication, this new little one is going to be a HANDFUL!<br />
<br />
He's doing wonderfully in his swimming lessons at Grandma's and as long as it stays warm we'll be able to continue swimming for quite awhile!<br />
<br />
I can't believe I get to be this little man's Mama! I'm so lucky!<br />

Not due until <b>February 7th,</b> which feels like FOREVER away... But I think with how fast the holiday season always flies by and I think he/she might come sooner than I realize! Officially in the 14th week now so we are going to try the "Early Gender Ultrasound" on Thursday! But our official ultrasound isn't until the second week in September but we CANNOT wait that long! We want to know-- are we welcoming another boy to the Gaughan family or finally will there be a girl to break the boy streak!?!? So nervous and excited! I can not wait! Alex, of course wants another boy... in fact I'm pretty sure he would be happy with ONLY boys! I'm happy either way just as long as the morning sickness starts to subside and the baby is healthy. We had a bit of a scare on vacation but we're back home now and everything is right on track! <br />
<br />
Can't believe we are going to be parents again. Its a miracle and we are so blessed! Kyler is used to being the center of attention, so that should be interesting but I think he'll be an awesome big brother!<br />
Well stay tuned for the update from the ultrasound! Less than a week........did I mention <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm excited</span></b>?!?!!GaughanFamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16682893157725924632noreply@blogger.com0
