Quote of the Day

Aaron's dad just sent me this quote in an email. I think this is so true and deserves a post...

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are often more dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time rail journey – delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful landscapes and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

No worries - I figure that docs are wrong a lot of the time (my doc has been wrong before about other things), so I'm just preparing myself for her coming early or late, babies just come when they want to! :)
