I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.

Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.

Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!

12th Anniversary, AZ Cousins Visit 06.06.10

First of all, Happy 12th Anniversary, Babe! I'm so blessed have you in my life and have no worries about our future. The Lord’s watching over and caring for all of us and He’s proven that with each step of our lives being better than the last.Imagine the stairway to heaven – it may go up and down at times, but overall, I can feel it spiraling upwards and I so look forward to taking new steps with you. 12 years down, eternity to go! I love you!

After taking Eric to the airport for a 4-day all expense paid trip to Puerto Vallarta with his friend, Marcus, I returned home to take the family to church. Always fun substituting for Eric's class...great group of kiddos.

Following church, we watched a video about President Hinckley, then went to play at Coyote Park for a while.




Mom got a little burned at the beach yesterday.
