Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly... Now for the Good!

Driveway before...
Driveway after!
Yes! The OZ Rally shell is sold!!! So happy! (Lest you are saddened by the news, I do still have 2, yes TWO, engines and 3/4 of Charly's car left for sale- so you haven't completely missed your opportunity!)

I also have a working washing machine! That's right! Thank you so very much, Christy! Your former washing machine is the answer to many a prayer around this house! I am so blessed by so many wonderful girlfriends who look out for me! You are the BEST hood a woman could want!


 Fall has finally come to the backyard!

These are the before...


After Jon and I cleaned up the leaves...




 And the even later after that... they are back! This is so good mostly because of the look on Jon's face when I showed him the yard- just priceless! Plus this means more time with Jon cleaning up the leaves!

And Jon is finished with the home theater! It is so amazing to watch things on this large screen!!!



Final two good things- that are really great (at least for this blog entry):

1. Charly is inches away from having her book published!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of this girl!

2. Please check out Charly's latest blog entry:

This truly says why life is good, and why bad and ugly, though not always fun, always lead to blessings in my life!
