Sandberg Ramblings

What a crazy week! It almost seems unreal. A tragedy, my last day at work, and a "pants pandemic" all in one week is a lot to go through. Exciting news, ridiculous news, happy news, and horrible news all at once. I have so many feelings all pent up I have to get them out! I'm scared to feel like I can't send my children anywhere because I can't be sure that they are safe. But how lucky I am to know that if anything ever did happen to them that they would be safe in their Heavenly Father's arms until I can be with them again. So many fears about becoming a parent yet I want it so badly because there is so much beauty and joy in it. My heart goes out to those involved in the shooting. I'm so excited to be done at work. I learned so much working at J.Crew, had so many good and bad experiences, and met so many great people, but it is time for me to move on. I'm ready to get back into interior design and to have the best job of being a mother. At the sa...

It's so hard to be happy for others who have what you can't.

My great grandma died when I was younger but I never really understood it. It's always hard for me to truly have compassion for others who experience loss because I've never gone through it. So although I can't say I know what it's like to lose someone I've known and loved for years, I can say I know what it's like to lose someone I love.  I truly have a testimony that we really need these hard trials in our lives to make us better people.  I hope you are having a lovely Sabbath day!  P.S. We finally got a real snow storm in Iowa today. It seems much more like Christmastime now, bu...

This was Landon and I on our honeymoon almost 4 years ago in Cancun, and we are headed back in January! I'm so excited for our vacation on vacation. I say this because, we will already be back home in Utah for Christmas break when we leave. This was supposed to be our "babymoon" and hopefully it still is. The countdown is on! A little less than 3 weeks until we are back in Utah and a month until Cancun! See ya'll then!
