My Girls

I have decided that I am really unable to say My Girls anymore. Sigh...
All our lives (starting 2000) we have been known as the Fernandez Girls.
We did everything together, we were a team. Now that they are older I have finally come to realize that I can't be selfish and I do have to share them with others. This is a hard thing for a mother to do who has spent her whole life making theirs better. Here I sit once again alone on a Friday night realizing that they are having a great time without me. I guess I should be grateful that they are out doing good things, having fun with good people and not missing me. I do find that my selfish side comes out and screams "come home spend time with me, I am more important". Please don't feel sorry for me, that is not my intent. I just want you to all know that I am okay with it. They are growing up to be bright and wonderful young ladies. They have good people surrounding them. So what more can a mom want, but to see their own children be successful with out them. I do morn the lose of our Fernandez Girls team, but I am also proud of who my daughters are and are becoming.

But I do ask, Don't forget the Mom...

It's a New Year

Welcome to my first blog.
I have been reading alot of my friends blogs and have decided to give it a shot. I don't know if I have alot to share that anyone would be interested in, but I am excited though to have a place to write and share whats going on in my life and brain.
I start this new year with dread of having to go back to school in a week. It has been so nice to have a brain break. I do believe my professors are makeing up their own language just to confuse me. I have been challenged by people whose morals and standards are of the world where I am working under the influence of the Gospel. I have learned to listen with new ears and to learn from others lives. Among all this I am so blessed to have been taught about Christ and his plan to help keep me on solid ground.
I also start this year with a grateful heart. I have great daughters who continue to amaze me with their strength. I have a great family as well as a ward family that love and support me. I have a job, food in my fridge and a warm home with a place to rest my head at the end of the day.
I am looking forward to this new year and all the changes that and growth that comes with it.

Hugs to you all from me,
