I have a goal this week...

Hi blogger friends... I've really been wanting to be a better blogger, so I've decided to set a goal for myself, and that is to do a post big or small every day. Hopefully each post will have photos to accompany it, what's a post without some pictures. Help me accomplish my goal by keeping me motivated with comments, I love hearing what you all have to say!

POST ONE: SUNDAY!
So today is Sunday, which meant church. I loved sitting with my new sister-in-law Sarah in church and in Relief Society. I love having her in the family, especially when she lets me pull the sister-in-law card in RS. I have some big weeks coming up in church, I'm teaching in RS next week and then I'm speaking in church on the following Sunday on Mother's Day... ahhh I'm freakin' out! I know I'll pull it off some how, but it stresses me out!

I was able to go and visit Finley and Emmy tonight, and they are looking GREAT! Finley is breathing on her own, with a little bit of oxygen in her nose. Emmy was breathing on her own but had to go back on the ventilator for a few days but we are hoping that she will be off it again soon. Both girls have gone over 2 lbs which is super exciting and today the girls actually weighed the same amount. Finley is longer and leaner where Emmy is shorter and stouter right now, but who knows lots could change. Today I got to see Emmy with both eyes nice and open, which was so awesome, and then I got to hear Finley make some little squeaks and grunt noises, it was amazing. I can't wait until I can share pictures of the girlies with you, but we all are waiting for the okay from their mommy and daddy. But trust me they are beauties!

One last point to mention is that I started working this week at Chapters and I think I'm going to LOVE it. It was just a training night, and I have another training night this week, but I love everything about the company. It feels like a family atmosphere and I love that! Fingers crossed it's equally as awesome when I start on the floor as a Chapters employee- I'm super pumped!

Here are the pictures to accompany this post. We had our annual family Easter brunch, with my mom's side of the family, and it was great to see everyone and the food was equally as amazing.
Uncle Brandon and the girls
Kathy and Laura were banished to the kitchen, Brandon, me, Mike, Keah, Mom and Jeff were all in the dining room at a table but they were kept separate- too funny!
Mike and Keah enjoying the morning before going to see their girls again. Emmy & Finley even had their own little name tags at the brunch
Kathy snuck into our table... Laura and I have a goal this year to take more pictures of Kathy and Jeff together, he likes to not co-operate with this goal- stinker

I like reading your posts! That's fun that you're working at Chapter's. I love that store. Glad to hear the twins are doing well.

I'm glad the baby girls are doing so well. What an emotional time for your family, I can't imagine. The good news is that all along, I think they had a better chance than I ever did, and I was born "heavier" than they were. Technology in the neonatal world has improved leaps and bounds in the past 30 years.

I wish you luck on your goal...
I am so happy that you are working at Chapters... I should have told the guy that they would be lucky to have you.... but then I would be gushing and I figured I should keep it professional! ;-)

I CANNOT WAIT to see pics of Finley and Emmy!

We are checking out a house Wednesday(possibly THE ONE!?) Wish us luck!
love to and the whole fam!

Can't wait! And can I just say I was in Chapters the other day and that place just does something to my soul. I hope you love it.
