Wonderful conference!

Last August we got  a new stake presidency. I felt that warm burning that confirmed they were the right men for the job, but I only knew one of them. Yesterday was our next stake conference and I had been praying for the warm trusting that would help me feel close to them. Saturday night session was wonderful and as I left, I felt that wonderful respect and love. It was great! The Lord knows how to help us go from complete strangers, to loving and trusting our stake leaders!

Merry Christmas!!!

It has been a great season, I have not had the hustle and bustle because of the surgery, and have instead mainly been chillin in my chair. I have spent more time talking with my teen-agers, watched several Christmas movies, read a book and felt so much contentment!!! I think this is more like life should be. Too bad it took a gall stone to help me realize it! I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a very happy new year!!! Love ya ALL!

I am thankful!!!

I have been waiting for something big and grand to blog about, but in my day to day life it all seems so un-interesting. I was trying to think of anything that anyone else might find worth reading and finally decided its been two months since I blogged, instead of delaying any further, I will simply say I have so many blessing, so many ways I see the Lords hand in my life, so many wonderful people that are a tremendous joy and example to me. Instead of looking for the ta-da and grand things, I need to notice all the small, simple and fantastic blessings that surround me!

New Grand daughter

Schools back in session

Wow, the summer is offically over. My 13 and 18 year old started school this morning. New schedual (it starts 15 minutes earlier, and ends 45 minutes later), we also are going to a 4 day school week, so Fridays are off with the exception of the 4 times that monday is on a holiday, then school will go tuesday through friday.
It continues to amaze me how quickly the days fly, I keep thinking life will slow day a bit, but it never seems to.
We are very blest, we are healthy and employed, We have food and shelter, we have the gosple and many wonderful friends, neighbors and relatives.
