So much for lazy day off

Well Wednesdays are still my day off work but always end up being the busiest day of the week. We started the day with a much needed visit from Quinn and her cute kids. We had so much fun catching up and it has been way to long. Our kids just played and played and we just talked and talked and the time flew by way to fast. Then we hurried off to an appt in Kaysville with my lawyer and then with our Allstate rep for renters, life and car ins. My boys were so dang good considering they were in a laweyers office and then an allstate office for like four hours total. The lady at the allstate office kept telling me how lucky i was to have such good kids and I couldn't agree more. They are amazing and I love them more than life itself and thank my Heavenly Father Daily for blessing my life with them.
So after the long dreadful appointments I totally made it up to them for being such good boys. They got to go over to Angie's house for dinner and to play while I went to institute. They sure miss thier "siblings" at Angie's house and take every minute possible to play and play hard. They all got so close while we were living there and when they see eachother now they just hug and hug and say I miss you, I love you, I miss you. It is the cutest thing ever and I hope they will always be close with their cousins like I am with mine. Thanks mom and family for making that possible even though it was hard at times.
So while my kids were in great hands at Angie's house I went to pick up Melissa Mae and we went to institute. Quinns mom is the teacher and it was amazing. It is on the teachings of the living prophets so our manuel is the Conference session of the Ensign and the talk today was "Finding Joy in the Journey" by President Monson. What an amazing man we have right now as our prophet. I don't remember hearing this talk but have read it many times now and get new things out of it everytime. Change is okay and good. Live everyday as if it were our last. Enjoy my boys while they are young because tomorrow they will be gone and I will miss all the messes they make. and last of all but most important Find Joy in everything. What we go through in this life we signed up for in the pre-existance and God knew we could handle it. So even with what has been thrown at me and my little family lately I take this attitude of I chose this and I have two choices. Be bitter, mad at God or who ever and be miserable OR Be greatful for the trials I am given, learn from them and they will only make me a better person. So I am taking the second choice and couldn't be a happier person even with everything going on and I thank my Heavenly Father Daily for what he has blessed me with and helping me become a better person through all this too. Obviously I am a very hard headed person and it took all this to get through to me and that is all my fault for not just listening the first times I am sure he tried to tell me. What mostly I have learned is for as long as I live I will NEVER judge another for the choices they make. I am not the judge and what ever made me think I was or even had the right to be. It is their life and we all have our agency and can do what we feel we need to do to live this life and make it though it. And second is I will never try to change someone wheather what I want is better or not. I have tried to change so many people and Yes Aaron you are one of them. I can see now how horrible it is to push someone so far because all they will do is push back and go the other way. I am not here to change anyone but myself and try to be the best I can be. Sorry to go on like this but this is my journal also and these are things that I need to remember and be able to look back on.
