<\/a> Family time is my most favorite time of all. We packed our weekend with special little moments + enjoyed every last second of our time together. I love that we can do absolutely nothing + still find ourselves in a hiccup invested puddle of happy tears in an instant. The boys went to the Jazz…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4173,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/walking_zpsea93a55e.jpg","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5mhS8-OC","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3138"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18203,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3138\/revisions\/18203"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nGeneral Conference left me feeling like I could conquer the world. Ready to take things on head first. We drive by the Conference Center almost every day\u00a0+ often take it for granted. I love the tulips + the blossoms that this time of year bring. I especially LOVED elder Uchtdorf’s talk about being grateful in all circumstances. (BUT I still can’t spell his name for the life of me) We should strive to incorporate gratitude into our daily\u00a0happenings.\u00a0The good, the bad, the happy +\u00a0especially\u00a0the hard times.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span> “We need to seek gratitude as a disposition, a way of life that stands independent of our current situation, whatever that may be. They choice is ours.<\/span>\u00a0Being grateful in time of distress does not mean that we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith we look beyond our present-day challenges. The choice is ours. We can choose to limit our gratitude based on the blessings we feel we lack. . . or we can choose to be grateful no matter what. This type of gratefulness transcends whatever is\u00a0happening\u00a0around us. It surpasses disappointment, discouragement and despair. It blooms\u00a0just as beautifully in the icy landscape of winter as it does in the blessed warmth of summer.”\u00a0<\/span><\/i>
\n
\n<\/span> I love that. Am I still grateful when things aren’t exactly going my way? \u00a0Everyone is fighting their own battle, whether it’s plastered for the world to see or not. You can listen to this amazing talk right here<\/a>.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span><\/p>\nNext time we drive to Logan for a visit, I need to take a video when we turn the corner before Grandma\u00a0+ Grandma’s house. Jonah starts screeching “I can see you playhouse, I can reeeeally see you. hi Gampa’s Tramp, hi “my”\u00a0playhouse, Hiii Bo. I see you Gamma’s Flowers. I seeee you” He loves it + I love that he loves it because I LOVE IT too!\u00a0Even Riggins starts crawling extra fast\u00a0+ drooling the big drools\u00a0when we get there. I adore watching my parents eyes light up when we pull in\u00a0+ getting texts from my dad asking if we are here yet before I’m even out of bed. They make the best grandparents. I’m grateful that they have always put their family as first priority. They make us feel so special + so loved\u00a0every single time we visit. Absolutely no place like home.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
