Briana Stephen

I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.

Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.

Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!

Neupogen Shots...A Family Affair

Many of you have heard me talk about my butt-gut. Here's the proof. After cutting vertically through my stomach a couple times, I herniated and gained weight around the incision--thus the butt-gut. It is what it is. I'm too sexy for my shirt! haha Obviously I have no shame anymore...my vanity's almost gone...maybe. Here's Kami giving me my injection and Kaden squeezing my excessive "skin." Now the kids argue over who gets to poke me each morning. If nothing else, Kami's now interested in becoming a nurse.  :)

    Thanks for sharing the special moments like this, an they are special. Boy, is THIS what it takes for Briana Stephen to have a gut like the rest of us? You are one tough chic. ;-)

    You are a wonderful mommy, and I don't know if you could be more loved. Your children are beautiful inside and out.

    I love your music choices by the way.
