So Tate got his tonsils out on Tuesday.. What a tough little guy. I thought it was going to be a bad experience, especially with all else that has happened, but he was aweseome. I was there when he came to, and he just wanted to lay on my chest and sleep. I love him so much, and he is doing so good.

So this past couple of weeks has been a huge eye opener to me. I think god gives us challenges to either fight or to put off. And what we decide to do and how we choose to take on the challenges is our free agency. I feel like I put this challenge of being a single mom, and having Tate be away from his dad on the side. I don't think I gave it the fight and the attention I should have. But life has it's turns, and maybe there is something good to come out of it all. It's hard being away from your best friend, and your soul mate but I know with the gospel and tate in my life we will be able to over come anything. We have a loving supportive family who is here to help us the whole way. I never imagined myself in this situation today, but I guess I didn't try to stop it a whole lot either...

Dont take the things in life that matter for granted. Or the people in life that bring a smile to your face.. You never know when they won't be there to hold you and make you smile... :)
