Crying in Relief Society

Today is the third Sunday of the month, or the day that it is my turn to teach Relief Society every month. Today's lesson was on peace. I was pretty excited about the topic, my last several topics were on things like scripture study and missionary work. Those are great and all, but I just have a tougher time with them. I've been thinking about peace all week in prep for the lesson and I think I had a much better week because of it. You guys, this lesson was SO good. Not like "ooo look at me I'm such a good teacher", it's just such a fantastic topic. The spirit was so strong. I was crying and so were several others. (Gospel teaching secret: the more people that cry in a relief society lesson, the better it was) #onlysortofkidding. My crying in this lesson may have actually surpassed the useful level. It's hard to fine tune that.

After church we got a double whammy with both babies napping, and Marty and I got a mini nap. One of those naps that you're not sure if it was really worth it or not because it hurts so bad when you get woken up.

Grandma and Grandpa C came to visit us today, that is always a treat. They sure love their grandkids and holy cow does Peter love playing with them. Lately he thinks anytime something accidentally gets dropped is HILARIOUS. Grandpa C had his wristwatch on top of our big teddy bear and it kept sliding off and Peter was in stitches. Peter is such a ham. Whenever something happens that really makes him laugh his head off, he tries to recreate the situation. It's almost never as funny the second time around because he knows what's coming; so he forces out this loud, fake laugh because he wants it to still be funny so badly. He's such a kick in the pants.

So lately I've been feeling an itch to blog again, and have struggled to determine the right 'theme' or topic for a blog. There are so many things that I think I want to talk about, but blogs just have this way of changing and growing into whatever they're going to be, so what's the point of picking a theme to start? I prayed about it today and was mulling over ideas all day. Tonight I realized that the times in my life when I have successfully implemented a habit change, it always came as a result of doing that thing every day. I thrive on regularity. So I've decided that I'm just going to write a post about my day every day, and this blog will turn into whatever it's supposed to be. Let's watch and see.
