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!

My Cousin, My Friend Forever!




Been thinking a lot about this friend of mine, my dear cousin... Her oldest daughter is going through some very challenging medical things right now. Wishing Michelle could know just how much I am thinking of her and wishing I could physically be there for her as well.

Cousins make the best friends ever!

 Just look at Char and Jer, for instance...





 And I sure hope these two will also become forever friends!

The Little Things Make Life Grand!

We haven't taken a long trip for a while, our dates consist of watching old movies on the computer or "going out" to get flu shots, our evenings are reading the paper while eating dinner and reading some scriptures... 

But as Luke says, "Life is Good!"

Maybe it's all the years alone or maybe it's that I happen to have the best husband ever, or maybe it's some combination of the two...

But all of the little things like sitting together to watch something, taking care of our health together, eating dinner side by side, and perusing the news, laughing at the comics- all of these little things are so very grand!!!

And we found a Jon look-a-like in the paper!!!


 Looks just like him, don't you think?! And a bow tie too!




I am so blessed!
