Mother's Day

It's Mother's Day this weekend...and this year I've actually been thinking about it alot more beforehand than any other year. I was in charge of the Young Women's mother day activity this wednesday. We decided to do a spa night for the moms. It was alot of fun! We were able to watch a conference talk from Elder M. Russell Ballard called "Mothers and Daughters". It is a really awesome talk and really made me appreciate my role as a mother and daughter. It also helped me to really think about the examples of motherhood that I have had in my life and what a great responsibility I have as a mother. I am excited to continue nurturing my children and helping them to become the great and wonderful people I know already live inside them.
I also am going to attend the Time Out for Women conference...I am really looking forward to spending some time with my mom and my sister and celebrating being a woman and a mother. It is reassuring to know that I am not the only one who struggles with life and all the different things that happen in a day. I love to hear how different people deal with their trials and how they have been able to overcome some of the hardest things. The conference always helps me to remember to turn to my Heavenly Father when I need help.
Unfortunately Davram is sick:( It is always hard to watch your child be sick. It's nothing serious...just a little stomach flu...but it still hurts my heart to watch him suffer(even just a little). I'm hoping that no one else gets sick...though that is highly unlikely.
I want to let my mom know how much I love her and appreciate all she has done and continues to do for me...she really is the best mom in the world...and one day I hope to be as good as she is!
