Home Shopping
So the other day I applied for a mortgage and got pre-qualified. I was so surprised. I know it's not a guarantee (yet) but I am really excited that instead of moving into a house to rent we can buy one. We told our Bishop during tithing settlement last year that we planned to move into a house. I'm excited. I hope the loan is approved and we find a house that we like.

Admiration
Have you ever looked at your children with complete admiration? I secretly check them out while thinking about what handsome men they will be. I hope their good looks will be surpassed by their good nature.
I was checking out Joshua the other day. He's so gorgeous. And he's sweet and an all around good kid. I was admiring him, forgetting all his flaws and mistakes and looking at him for all his goodness. He demonstrated his goodness today. His brothers were playing a game and he knows they can be rather competitive and he wanted to play too. He told them he wanted to play but just for fun, they didn't need to keep his score. He was showing his peace-making skills.
Sam was sleeping. I love to look at my boys when they are sleeping. They are so peaceful and it's the only time they aren't trying to drive anyone crazy! I was noticing how much (as always) Sam looks like Joe. His personality is a lot like mine, but he looks like Joe. I admire him when out of the blue he'll say "I love you," "you have pretty green eyes," or "you're awesome." He gets his affirmations from his dad. I admire his willingness to show unconditional love and express his love for others.
Adam is going to be such a great man. He's still learning and growing. He can be very sensitive to some things and I attribute that to teen hormones, but that sensitivity shows me his softer side. He is really good at remembering to open my door and let ladies enter first. I was thinking about that today how he can be chivalrous and I hope he finds a girl that appreciate that. I look at him and admire how mature he wants to be. Although he wants to grow up quickly, at this time he's still happy to be my little boy. (don't tell him I said that!)
Joseph is a momma's boy (they all are actually, but he's more so.) He wants to do everything for me. I admire him for his servitude. We went to a wedding reception the other day and Joseph was in the kitchen helping them dish and serve cake and various foods. He was so well-behaved. Joseph has ALWAYS been a good helper and getting him to help out is actually the best way to get him to behave. His teachers at church let him get the classroom ready and pick up the chalk and eraser from the library. When he helps, he feels needed. I admire his service to others. He is the first one to fall asleep and I stare at him praying that he'll have friends and success in his life.
I feel like I can understand how Heavenly Father and Jesus felt when they created man and saw that it was good!!! I feel joy in my posterity when I look at my children with admiration.
