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!!!

I didn't take my camera, but we all had a blast spending the day at the Mesquite Grove Waterpark in Chandler. Definitely a place we'll be visiting on our trips out there from now on!
I can't believe you were able to get in. It is right down the street from us and we keep trying to go but there is always a huge line waiting for people to leave so they can go in every time. It is a fun pool though and a great price to get in.
Wow, you guys had the best time with the whole family.We haven't been to that pool, but now I might go try it. I love all of you girls relaxing at the pool picture, and yes Heather looks hot but so do all of you! Have an awesome summer chica!
You're kidding? If I knew you lived so close, we for sure would have called you, Nikki. We got there just before opening and there was a huge line to get in. They need to open many more water parks like that throughout the valley -- there's not much to do that's affordable during the summer.
