Happiness is...

There has been so much going on lately and it seems like time is passing faster with each moment. I have a lot of catching up to do at some time for today and now I am just grateful and very happy. It has been a wonderfully perfect last few days spending time with the ones I love the most. General Conference was this past weekend and the messages given by our General Authorities left me with so much hope for a bright future and the desire to be a little better each day than the one before. I had the opportunity of spending the weekend with all our family, including a trip to Florence with Erika and Addison to surprise Ethan at RedBone Alley where he was working and was he so surprised! It was so fun! (and delicious!) Then tonight after work I got to spend some one-on-one time with just Erika and she treated me to a wonderful dinner at Sumo's - our absolute favorite! My heart if full - I have so much happiness in my heart. I love my family so much. Joey is just awesome to me and our family -- from the flowers he brings me to the clothes he folds and the hot breakfasts he cooks for our family -- he is a jewel and I love him so. My children are my rock and I love them with all my being and I am so grateful for my blessings...

Lots of things in life can make us smile and bring moments of happiness but our families and the love we share with them and living right is what brings us true and lasting happiness and joy.
