So, today I am going to be a little more personal in my post and just share some thoughts. Hopefully it will make sense.
Those that know me, understand I am not a super fan of sitting through church and being acknowledged on Mother's Day as I am not a mother. The talks are always great about different mothers and I have an amazing angel mother. However, I have been surprised at how difficult it can be for me to sit in church and listen to talks about how being a mother and raising children is the most nobel of responsibilites we as women are asked to do. I know this to be true, I understand and believe the doctrine of the church, but "being a mom" is not a hat in which I wear.
After sacrament meeting today I was trying to avoid the young men who were handing out treats to all RS aged sisters. Well, it was Rashona's grandson and I thought, just be nice Anne. Attached to a bag of sugar free candies was this thought and I wanted to share.
While we tend to equate motherhood solely with maternity, in the Lord's language, the word Mother has layers of meaning. Of all the words they could have chosen to define her role and her essence, both God the Father and Adam called Eve "The Mother of All Things," and they did so before she ever bore a child. Like Eve, our Motherhood began before we were born. Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that. It is the essence of who we are as women. ~Sheri Dew
I really enjoyed that thought and for whatever reason was inspired to post on my blog. For those that read this, know I do not post near enough so this must have left a big impression! Only a handful of people know about this blog so if you are reading this, I love you!

Introducing Sammie
This is Halloween weekend, the weekend I got Sammie!
He took right to Uncle Scottie and loves being up on your shoulder.
Just a view to show how adorably small he is.
He was only 2 pounds in this pic.

Luckily we have a good vet and she made my baby better.
However, Vegas had some very cold and windy days
so he got to use his coat early. He had to get used to it,
especially the hood. I usually let him go without, he isn't a fan.
The coat was helpful, he didn't look like he was
going to fly away in the wind.
he comes and jumps on my leg to let me know he is ready!

A few new projects...
While in Idaho, Brittany was making watch bands. I asked the lady at the bead store about making just bracelets. She told me what I needed to do and it seemed simple enough. Here are my new fun bracelets! Thanks for the inspiration, Brittany!!!
