My Heart if Full

My heart is full today for many different reasons.  Full of sadness and also full of happiness.

Full of sadness:

Aspen is sick and it hurts my heart to see her suffer, and as I watch her quietly suffer and think of who she is and the amazing spirit that she possesses, I am humbled.  She received a beautiful blessing last night which was given by a good friend.  That good friend is leaving for Afghanistan today, which is another reason for the sadness.  We wish him safety and lots of love.  We will watch after his family here and help the best that we can.  My husband is in VA for a week at a class, it's only a week so I shouldn't complain, but I miss him and don't like when he is gone. 

Full of happiness:

There are so many things to be grateful for and that make me happy, it would take forever for me to type them all, I'm slow!  I'm grateful for my husband and kids, for my extended family, memories of them have been on my mind.  I just checked my sisters blog, something else that makes me happy, and saw these, you should check it out.  My grandparents are ailing and that causes sadness, but I have many fond and happy memories of them.  Great friends are another happiness, and I know that where ever we go we will find good friends.  I am grateful for my Savior, and the peace His gospel brings.  That peace brings me numerous blessings and happiness's.  There's just so many things.  The sunshine yesterday and again today is a happy thing.  I'm rambling now, so I should better stop, but I just felt that I needed to express these things.

Until next time, adieu!
