Lucky me

*at church* 

me to a friend: "i'm having a baby!! well errr uhhh my sister-in-law is having a baby right now!!

friend: "you're pregnant! congrats"

me: "Shhhhhhh" 


I wen't home last weekend because, duh, this baby was being born. And i'm definitely a hold-in-the-hospital-kind-of-aunt. I wasn't planning on going home until I got news that the baby was coming and it was the biggest tender mercy of all time. I didn't even realize how much I needed to be with my family. It's weird, if i'm stressed I can literally just be in their presence and I feel one-thousand times better about everything.

New babies are literally perfect. My head hurts when i try to comprehend what a little miracle they really are. And then seeing my brother hold his new baby like a pro turned me into mush. It really is the sweetest to see brothers become daddy's.

Being home made me realize that even though my life is constantly changing with college coming to a close some things never change....

>My little sisters (who aren't so little at all anymore) still run to my car when i pull in and love on me.

>I snuggled my little Ava and fed her REAL (baby) FOOD. She's old!

>Reading the scriptures together with my family for FHE- you just don't appreciated those things when you're younger.

>My dad returning home from school with his signature lunch box and so much happiness. I'm also grateful he is still way to into "group hugs" (imagine him demanding like 12 grown adults "time for a group hug" hahah)

I'm just really grateful for my family, holy cow am I blessed.

energized to finish my last 3 weeks of college in Logan. WHAT. THE. HECK.
