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!

Faster Than the Blink of an Eye!

(The following is dedicated to those who love 'the Doctor' as much as I- Jonny, Charly, and of course, Tracy!)

To quote one of my favorite 'Easter eggs': "Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink. Good luck."

So true of life, especially mine! Well, except for the dead part, that is...

I blink, and my whole life changes even faster than that blink!

My darling daughter, future missionary to North Carolina... Well, the Lord has other plans. She is going to marry a wonderful young man in the VERY NEAR future- before I can blink!

Now I don't know the young man in question very well. However, besides knowing he's terrific because my daughter wants to marry him, so many loved ones that do know him well think he is wonderful. So, am I happy about life's changes? Yes!

And Jon will be graduating from high school soon... my baby! And then leaving on an LDS mission! 

And so many challenges in between it all. When times get hard, and they have and certainly will yet, I know that the Lord is always nearby! And there are always blessings to be found!


So I will look for those tender mercies and try not to blink!

  1. This is definitely a year of change for you and your children! Congratulations to Charly on her engagement! I can't wait to hear about where your baby will go on his mission. But he still has a few months of school left - we don't need to think about that too soon! Enjoy having children in your home for these last few months! When is Charly's wedding?
