Hard Working

Since this is kind of my journal I just want to record how I am feeling at this stage of my life. Aaron is a HARD WORKER. When I first met him I loved his drive and determination. I had not dated any other that had the ambition that Aaron had. This is a good thing because in his profession he has to work hard. He has never worked as hard as he did his first year. That was just insane! He was working 115 hours a week for months at a time. He was literally worked to the bone. Usually he works about 60 hours a week unless he is on call that weekend or had a bad week night call then he works about 80 hours a week. I say this because he is still at work.

This has been a good experience for me though because in the time that he is gone I have to work harder and have to be more patient with the kids...some days are better than others. I also have to rely on friends but mostly on the Lord. Not a day goes by that I don't pray for patience and understanding and my life with kids has just begun. I am sure that when the kids get older their lives will be a lot more complicated. Right now I am just focused on teaching them the basics of right and wrong, sharing, caring, loving, service...I am just trying to teach them to be good kids. But then tonight we were talking about pride (when we were reading in the scriptures and they didn't know what pride was) which lead us to talk about agency. It was interesting because we were talking about how everyone is a child of God and Becca said that Satan wasn't a child of God and when I told her that he was she said "that is so sad." I explained that it was Satan's pride that got him kicked out of Heaven. It is interesting to see the kids and their reactions.

Well I guess I will go to bed now and hope that Aaron gets home soon.
