Sometime during my college experience I realized that life really wasn't fair. The world didn't revolve around me and my set of circumstances. I couldn't apply my outlook as the one and only way things were.Then sometime during my mission I learned things aren't always black and white, yet there are certain truths and only one road to eternal happiness.
Marriage has taught me to leave my expectations at the door. My emotions are the only one's I have control over and true love really isn't what the movies say it is, it's much more complicated.
Kids have taught me that life is short and I need to slow down and dilly dally a little more.
My current calling has reminded me of all of the above. Namely life isn't fair and some have a bigger hill to climb then others. Sometimes you've got to suck it up and realize that the world doesn't revolve around you. Expectations must be dropped. You and only you control your emotions and remember to dilly dally a little more in all of your productivity!

This was a great post Janae.
ah man, you just wrecked my illusion of true love, the movies make it look so easy, are you sure it's not supposed to be like that?
Good lessons(and tough ones)to learn.
Eres La Sabia. Te extrano, y me gustaria oportunidad placticar contigo como antes. BIG SIGH!
Hey there! We have missed you guys the last few family parties! I hope all is well with you guys! Hopefully we will see you sooner than later. Smiles
Hope your calling is going pretty well! What a challenge it would be for me! I think it's so great that Abby's first "party" was when she turned five. That seems like a pretty good age to do that kind of stuff. I loved the hats and glasses! That is neat that your kids could see their great-grandparents. They sound like amazing people--just like their granddaughter!
