Today is Jett's 4 month birthday and we are so blessed to have him in our lives.
I had a very spiritual experience last week that I will try to portray without getting too churchy... I have several friends and family members that are going through very tough times right now. A few examples are: one friend had her baby 3 months premature, a family member put her 4 month old baby into major surgery, one friend got divorced, another legally adopted her 7 month old baby, and many more miracles, trials, and blessings people close to me and that I love are going through. This experience has shown me to recognize how blessed I am to have a healthy growing baby, a strong marriage, a job, means to support my family, etc. etc. etc. All these stories have definitely put life into perspective for me. Last week I though it might be the end of the world because Jett had a cough and runny nose. I was worried sick about him. The real truth is I have it made-in-the-shade.
My story is pretty simple I got pregnant, I went the hospital, I had a baby with no complications, I came home with a perfect healthy baby, and the rest is history so far.
I did not hand my precious angel over to a surgeon and hope for the best. I do not visit my child in the hospital everyday and I go to bed with the love of my life every night. So I guess the reason why I am sharing this is to remind myself that I need to be humble and boy did this experience make me humble. Therefore, I have absolutley nothing to complain about. These stories remind me everyday to be happy with my life because it is my life.

i'm so glad to see that you recognize the blessings in your life. i too recognize my blessings, and i'm grateful every day for the people thinking of me. i don't know when i'll be to st. george next, but i'd really like to get together and see you. i still think back to that night i came and stayed at your house. i really don't know that i've laughed that much since. good memories!
Thanks for the wonderful post. What a great reminder!
He is such a cutey patooty. I bought plane tickets and Ezra and I will be coming to play with Jett on July 27th! I know that we just went through surgery, but I feel the same as you. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family. We miss you so much!
