In the mean time heres the scoop.

My moms birthday cake was to die for... Its kind of messy -
we have lots of kids who cant wait dig in!

Last week was my Moms Birthday. James and I went to go see her and the family. I don't know what it was about this visit, but it was ***SPECIAL****. Maybe it was General Conference, maybe it was the good weather or maybe it's the fact that my mind, thoughts, and heart have really been opened to the time that's before me. I've really started to realize how time is precious. One day years from now I don't want to look back and regret that I didn't do enough. Its not just about time though, its about my love for my family. When My Mom got remarried, It was hard on me. I think a lot harder then I really let on. I think instead of really revealing my hurt and expressing it like I should have years ago, I just disconnected. I love my Mom, and I was happy for her that she was getting married, I even liked and grew to love the family she married into, but I just didn't feel they were *MY* family. I didn't feel relevant or important or apart of this new change. I was not a Hunsaker, I was a Hansen, and then I got married and became Kira Morris and that got even more confused and disconnected.

Recently though, The Spirit and life events have made it known to me that--while names and blood matter, I can't let them get in the way of my Family Relationships. I NEED and I WANT a better relationship with ALL of my family, and just having that self realization has made all the difference. I've really let go of a lot of the  temperamental and superficial things that held me back. When you learn to let go, you really learn your capabilities and how far you can reach. I have really have felt love in my heart that is close and tangible.  Not for just anyone, but for the people that have been there for me all along. My Family.

But in particular especially My Brother KC. Kc is a special guy, and I love him so much. He has Mytonic dystrophy and becuase he can not physically do as much with his body, it isolates him socially. I cant even imagine how hard that would be. He is lonely sometimes, and he wants and needs friends. This breaks my heart. So I've made it my personal goal to be my brothers friend. We text and call, and visit---and guess what?! He is thebomb.com! I love him so much and I am so glad I have such amazing brothers and sisters! I recently had the idea Kc should go to institute--He would make so many friends---and I think he will!

Oh dont mind me!--Hes not really holding me! I love you KC!

I probably sound like a broken record, but I just cant say it enough, I love my family so much, and I'm SO excited for the future and what my life holds. Life can be hard, but I'm not going to let anything disable or disconnect me from the things that matter most.

In other news

1-I loved General Conference, I loved all the talks, and the Spirit was really there. I got a answer to a question I have never even verbally asked(just something that had often entered my mind). I have always worried about what is ahead of me, and the problems I will face. I know life is a test, and I have always been afraid of what I will be tested at. The Lord has let me know that my life is good, and that I don't need to worry. He is the good Shepard and he will ALWAYS be there for me whatever I go through.
