We have spent this past week getting our life insurance policies set up. And disability insurance for Jonathan. I haven't enjoyed this experience. It's very uncomfortable thinking and talking and planning for someone's death or disability. But it has also been a relief to know that if a tragedy were to happen, the family would be okay financially. And I appreciate that. I have to think of it like car insurance, you hope you never need it, but have it just in case.
One night this week, while I was thinking about all this, I was almost overcome with gratitude for the Atonement. It is so great to know that death is not the end. I have never actually faced the death of a close loved one in my life. I realize that I have been so fortunate and blessed in this. I dread losing anyone, and if it weren't for the Gospel, the thought of losing a loved one would drive me crazy. Even with my knowledge of the Gospel, I try not to think about anyone dying or I may start to cry :). But I am so grateful for the hope given through our Savior. I love the Gospel. I guess it's like an insurance policy for the soul. Because of it, I know I will always be taken care of.
Well, on a completely different and more light-hearted subject, I can't leave this post without some pics of my cuties. They are growing up way too fast. And I love my life with them.
This video always make me smile, and I've watched it at least 20 times. I love her actions and cute little voice.

Sami is so adorable! I loved when she saw me at church today and she recognized me. It made me feel good :)
I felt the same way when we set up our life insurance. It's not fun to think about, but good to have.
That is the cutest movie I've ever seen in my life!! That is so sweet.
The girls are getting big fast! I love seeing the different ways they dress up--so fun!
Such a cute, cute clip of Sami singing! I watched it multiple times with Dave. We both chuckled with delight. Janie tickles me with her dress-up photos, boy can she accessorize!
We've been doing the same stuff..... kinda morbid, but nice to know everything is in place. Your girls are adorable!!
