T's open heart surgery is fast approaching and I'm quickly becoming a wreck

Today I started to feel the nesting feeling. Usually around the 4 week mark I feel the urge to get EVERYTHING done. I want a clean organized house, I want to feel like I'm in control of every little thing. Well right now I am nesting but it's for Taylor's surgery strange I know. June 6th is the official date, lucky for us we have all sorts of visits to primarys before then.



















I wish it could all be over and we could be home as one happy family. But for now I'll worry and stress because I'm a mom, and that's what moms do. Bryson on the other hand prefers not to think about it? Helpful. Don't get me wrong I KNOW IT IS GOING TO GO SMOOTHLY. In fact I have true pure faith that this will be a wonderful life changing event in Taylor's life.

Oh this little girl amazes me daily. She is such a great girl. I am so proud of her and can not believe the knowledge she has in such a short amount of life. She is a walking dictionary, ask her she probably knows all sorts of  factoids about any given subject. But more importantly I am proud of the person she is, She always gives 100% in everything she does. She expects perfection from herself (she definitely doesn't get that from me! Don't worry I'm not afraid to admit the truth.) She loves the gospel and has a simple testimony. Many days I wake to find her studying the Book of Mormon before breakfast.

This is what her teacher emailed me last week: "I absolutely love having Taylor in my class! I think that she is such a special and unique girl who will do great things in her life. I love how she always has a good attitude and outlook on life. I can honestly say that she has made me a better person by getting to know her and work with her this school year. I have never had a student who has had as much confidence as to who she is and what she stands for. She is truly an example to all who know her and I can tell that her parents have played a big part in that. :)" What an amazing complement from a great teacher!

So for now I will believe in every good possibility. I will pray and fast.

You are all welcome to join me. We would so appreciate it!

  2. I know exactly what you are going through. Our two Taylor's are a lot alike!!

    I depended on HER faith so much when she when through her recent surgery... and her faith was unwavering and all encompassing.

    She had faith, first and foremost, in her Savior.
    She had faith in her incredible Doctor and those assisting him.
    She had faith in herself and her ability to recover quickly and fully.
    She had faith that the blessings that she received through the priesthood would give her all she needed to get through it all.

    You are blessed, as was I, to be taught by such a strong and valiant example.
