Do you ever feel...

Like your failing as a parent, spouse, or person? Do you ever wonder why you get upset about things that actually don't matter to you at all? Or is that just me? How do I stop just surviving and start living everyday instead of just some days? Isn't it interesting how postpartum depression can sneak up on you. I thought I had beat it this time, but here it is; staring me in the face. My excuse for feeling low with Edward was because he cried a lot. I can't claim that now. Nolen is such a wonderful baby. He sleeps. He is happy. He is lovable. So I guess I can say that my emotions are running away with me. I am sure, this too, shall pass.


I will put my universal apology out for all. Sorry if I said (or say) something that offends you or doesn't really make sense. I am trying to come back to myself. It may take some time, but I will get there.


"The saving ordinances received in the temple that permit us to someday return to our Heavenly Father in an eternal family relationship and to be endowed with blessings and power from on high are worth every sacrifice and every effort.” President Monson

post show let down...




I had the greatest time singing in the chorus of La Traviata. I can't believe March is almost over and the show is over. I have "post show let down". I was sad to walk out of the theater on Sunday and know that I wouldn't see my new friends as often any more. This was a fun show filled with fun ladies who did the show. I miss Opera and I am so glad I had the opportunity to sing with Opera Southwest.

La la la traviata!

I have been very busy preparing to be in my first Opera in 7 years. If you are in the Albuquerque area, come on by and listen to some wonderful music and see me as a courtesan in the chorus.

5 years with St. Patty







Reflecting upon my last five years with Stephen brings me to the happiest place I have ever been. We have grown up together, fought together, loved together, and created a family together. I am more in love today than I was the day I got married. I used to hear people say that before I was married and couldn't understand why they would say such a thing. As the time has passed, I completely understand. I love my wonderful husband with my whole heart. He has truly become a helpmate to me and a blessing for my family. I look forward to every day with him and to the best forever possible.
