July 4th

So, I know I'm a little late. Nick's been gone, so I'm just glad I'm still alive!! :) For the 4th, we went to a family reunion in the Beaver Mountains with all of my side. We had such a blast and it was so nice to get out of LV. It was a great reminder of how much I miss the green and loathe the desert and the heat! There's lots of pictures cause we had such a great time on the canoes, laughing with my sister who is hilarious, and eating and just enjoying visiting with my family that I adore. Four days and it went way too fast!!

Something to Strive For.........

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”

― Sister Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"Come what may and LOVE it!"

--Joseph B. Wirthlin

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just ordinary people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey...delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."

--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"I know it is hard for you young mothers to believe that almost before you can turn around the children will be gone and you will be alone with your husband. You had better be sure you are developing the kind of love and friendship that will be delightful and enduring. Let the children learn from your attitude that he is important. Encourage him. Be kind. It is a rough world, and he, like everyone else, is fighting to survive. Be cheerful. Don't be a whiner."

--Sister Marjorie Pay Hinckley
