A friend of mine posted this on his blog, I thought it was pretty interesting.

Grateful

I am truly grateful. I have been blessed in my life with good friends and an awesome family who support me in all of my decisions. I moved to Albuquerque in July as a newly pregnant woman. My church reached out to me from the start. I can not express how grateful I am in words. I was given immediate friends and support.

I will be honest, I was very reluctant to move to New Mexico. I had a wonderful network of friends and family in Arizona. Now, almost 10 months later, I have amazing friends in Albuquerque who constantly invite me to be a part of their lives. I thought I would be destined to a hermit life once I had Edward. Things are totally different. I am truly grateful.

Edward is an amazing baby. Yes, he cries; however, when the cries subside a peaceful, content baby emerges. He is the best little person I have ever known. It really is true, mothers are biased. I really think Edward is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. He looks so much like Stephen (and I really like the way Stephen looks) it seems so natural to fall completely in love with my little baby. I have grown so attached to the little guy.

Stephen is an outstanding father. No explanation needed. We are planning to bless Edward in church next Sunday. I am filled with joy knowing Stephen is a worthy priesthood holder who strives to live an honest life. I am grateful.

I did not think it would be possible to be content here at "home", but I am. My days are filled with gladness. I am grateful.

Visiting Family

Logan and Edward

Edward and I took our first plane right together from the great state of New Mexico to beautiful Arizona. Surprisingly, Edward slept the entire flight! He was so good! When we arrived in Phoenix he was a little cranky and cried for a while until he finally fell asleep for his afternoon nap. We then drove 3 hours up to my hometown of Kingman to spend the week with my Mom. Edward had the opportunity to meet his cousins and I actually took a few pictures. Enjoy!
