Bradley and I have been able to go to the temple a few times in the past few weeks, and it has been so amazing. We were able to seal my great grandparents together, and it was a very special experience that I will never forget. I can't explain the feeling I get when I kneel at the altar in the temple and look my eternal companion deep in his caramel eyes.
Life is so amazing. I was feeling down about a few things last week and then Friday at work I met a few amazing people that completely changed my outlook on the things that had been weighing me down. It's amazing how small things you say can affect other people in ways you would never expect.
Bradley's family came down yesterday and we were able to spend the day with them. We had a great time together and I wish we could be together every weekend--or more! We have the greatest family.
I have mixed feelings about potty training. Jada has been ready for a few months now, but I keep making excuses. I hear about my friends potty training and how great it is, but I feel totally opposite. It's so much easier for me to change her diaper when it's convenient for me (Not that I let her sit in a dirty diaper at all--just FYI). I don't want to have to stop at every bathroom from here to wherever and try not to have my OCD skin crawl as I try to help her use a public restroom. It's also just so much easier since she goes to daycare during the day. But come on, she's going to be 3 in 2 months....what is my deal? Am I just crazy? Anyone have any thoughts about this?

I feel the exact same about potty training. Kyle is the one trying to potty train Kimber because he doesn't have to deal with potty breaks or diapers and doesn't want to part for diapers anymore. I dread public bathrooms every 30 minutes with my handy little girl.
Also, same with the not blogging with no pictures. It's a bad excuse. I need to anyway. I'm glad you did.
I completely understand you reasoning in regards to dirty restrooms. The thought sickens me. However, I do plan on potty training Brookelynn as early as she allows it, and carrying a bunch of extra disinfectant with me wherever I go.
Good luck!
I just let all three of my kids potty train when they were ready. The girls both were all trained by 20 months...Jordan by 2 years. Not too shabby. The public restroom thing is AWFUL, but manageable. You can do it. Just hold them about the toilet until about 6 and it is all good, then you can teach them to stradle the potty and not to touch anything!! Good luck...it is the hardest mommy chore EVER.
