Amazing

Busy does not even begin to define my life. I'm like busy on a Rockstar with Monster chaser. Sometimes I'm not sure if I'm coming or going.  Sometimes I suspect I'm like a dog chasing its own tail.

Frankly, I'm somewhat amazed that I am able to get through every day with some level of sanity. Notice I said "some" sanity.

This weekend the girls and I had the opportunity to attend "Time out for Women," and "Time out for Girls." It was amazing.

Yes, my goal is to type the word "amazing" as frequently as possible. :)

I learned so much, or relearned. Our human brains need constant reminders of the things that we already know but have to hear over and over and over....

Most of all I just had the chance to feel my spiritual cup and REMEMBER how important it is to feed out Spirit. Life is busy. There is really no other words to describe it but sometimes we just have to stop and let the Spirit talk to us.

Yes, I shed some tears. Yes, I realized how important the gospel is in my life. Yes, I felt blessed that my trials, in comparison to others, seem so small. I also realized that I need to trust the Lord a little more. I need to know that he has my back and even if he lets me fall it is only to help me stand back up a little taller.

I feel incredibly blessed to have the life I have. My faults are what give me character. I do not want anyone else's life because the life I have is priceless.

The only thing I really need is for someone to follow me around reminding me what I already know.

Have an exceptional week friends.

This week my son and I have a date at the Utah Symphony I'm very excited.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Fantasy Land

The writer of this blog is currently in fantasy land. Meaning there will be no post as she is to busy pretending that she is on the sunny, care free, warm beaches of Hawaii. Apparently she is also under the delusion she looks smoking hot in a bikini and can currently (in the world of fantasy) be found on the beaches of Oahu sporting a bikini top and a grass skirt. Further evidence of how deeply she has entered fantasy land includes some very cute natives making sure her umbrella drinks are full and sunblock applied. The only thing she would like to mention to those of you still dealing with the real world and the endless hours of kids and summer vacation. "The water here is perfect and the sunsets are to die for please feel free to join me."

A Walk Through Our Fall Garden

We have had an absolutely beautiful fall. The weather has actually stayed unseasonably warm. While we have been busy canning and harvesting we have taken very little time to enjoy the flowers that are also enjoying the fall season.  So a couple of days ago I grabbed my camera and enjoyed a scroll through my flowers.  I Love this picture I swear it makes me think I can actually smell the rose.  Sadly this is a no name rose. I think we should name it don't you?   These little guys are from a start my friend gave me.  In fact my flower beds are a bloom right now with plants from her garden. These little gals make me think of quiet summer days.  They also make me want to finish reading "Anne of Green Gables," again.  Don't you think that Anne would love these little ones.  She would probably call them "Queen's of Fall," or something else romantic and fancy. These are mums and you should see the plant it is huge.  Again a start from a friend.  I think it is...
