*Family*

I've had a lot of time to think lately which has been good and bad. I'm going through something I never expected. I never ever thought that I would go through the trial of my own divorce, especially because I feel like I've had enough pieces from that cake! It's hard to say that I gave this marriage everything I had and things just didn't work out. It's interesting that the last few weeks have brought me so much pain and heart-ache yet I've received more happiness, comfort and joy than I deserve. This is a big change in my life and I've never been so scared but I can't help but wonder and look forward to what the Lord has in store for me. It's hard to imagine something good coming from something so hard but I know that if I stay close to the Lord all will be well.
I have received a million nice phone calls, cards, flowers, text messages, emails, and prayers and I can't explain the comfort that they have given me. My family and friends are behind me 100% and no matter what it takes they want to see me happy! It's such a blessing to know that there are so many people out there that love me, want what is best for me, and would give me the world to see me smile! My family is beyond the greatest thing I could ever ask for, I can't tell you how lucky I am. They truly are amazing!
This picture was taken outside the Temple the day Taft & Lesha got married. It's one of my favorite pictures ever. My siblings are my best friends and I couldn't ask for any better supporters. My Mom raised us all so well and it's because of her that we are who we are!
