I think that the greatest thing about being a mom is that you get to do all the fun things you did as a kid. Kaylee and I went to Bear Lake this Saturday. Kaylee loves the water, I am glad because I love it to. It was very hot, I got fried, but my little beautiful Latino baby just got a tan. I am jealous of her amazing skin color. I couldn't take pics of us in the water, because I just had my camera phone, but here is Kaylee eating ice cream at this amazing pizza place. On another note I have been volunteering at Primary Children Hospital for about a month now. This has been the most amazing experience. I am truly amazed at the strength of these children, and their families. I feel truly blessed every Saturday when I get to be around these wonderful children. I am so grateful for everything that I have in my life.
This July 28th will mark the 9th year anniversary of a event that changed my life forever. Even though I have come to terms and have accepted that horrific day in my life, every summer my body relives the emotions of that day. I don't sleep very much during the months of June, July, and August. It is something I just expect to go through every summer for the rest of my life. I could ask myself why did this have to happen to me. I was 19 back then, I saw things that people would only see in horror movies., but as I can to terms with what happen I became a stronger person, it made me stronger for things that I am now having to go through in my life. I think that the Lord knows what trials we need in our lives, and sends them to us when we need them the most. I am grateful for this trial I had to go through, and I pray for those families who lost loved ones in this tragedy.
