Let's start with the MOST IMPORTANT THING......I BEAT ALL THESE BOYS AT SETTLER'S!!!!!YES I DID!!!!!After MUCH grief from them about how I don't even try to win and just give everyone what they want...and I told them KARMA is real....and then the sweetness of all sweetness....I WON!!!! Karma is real boys :) Yes, they are very good sports to let me take their picture and gloat...and KNOW that it would be posted here. WAITING so patiently for our early Chirstmas Eve Dinner with Michael since he leaves for Germany with friends for ALL the Christmas holiday. He is SO thrilled! I couldn't stand the thought of him not having Christmas with us so we had dinner and he opened his presents and stocking. The boy is loved...he got great loot:) Women, the recipe for the cream gravy for the Chicken Fried Steak in the Pioneer Woman cookbook...TO DIE FOR (no pun intended) . My ego is out, I look so fetching in these pictures. Just remember it was at the end of a long Sunday! NO, we DON'T have snow right now...its in the low 50's, (totally bizarre and like 100 year highs) but we did 2 weeks ago and it was WEIRD to have the pool all covered. And I never thought about the little bit of torment it is to see it not usable and covered everyday while I hot tub soak. But I still sigh with gratitude that it AIN'T going NOWHERE and will be ready and waiting in Spring. Spencer received the Melchizedek Priesthood on Sunday and a few of his "brethren" were there..and some of the favorite "sistern" as well. Sam dressed up for the occasion. Truly, having him dressed up for 3 hours of church alone is a miracle. And such an appropriate shirt. Saturday night Josh, Mike (currently living with us and making us LAUGH EVERY DAY) and Chad went DISCO skating at Classic...yes you have seen peices of their attire in other photos on other sons for the same event. Time for a trip to Savers or DI for an extended wardrobe. Maybe MEN's clothing this time?
My GOD is in the next room, cooking unseen feasts and humming.
T I I S G Turn it into something Good.
I devote the rest of my days to acts of loving kindness. I help those whom God has placed in my path. I will be as loving as I can, as often as I can, for as many people as I can, for as long as I live. Here if you need me. (Kate Braestrup)
Instead of FEAR, I feel INSPIRED. Instead of overwhelmed, I feel the excitement of the possibilities.
I learn ways to replace FEAR with LOVE.
ASK FOR HELP. Follow the guidance sent to you.
DO NOT COMPLAIN...if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem. (a mom I bet)
We become what we love...so nothing will affect your life more than whom and what you choose to love. Matthew Kelly
I wish someone else would fill this out...I'd love to see what others see when it comes to me(ok, maybe not). I LOVE my family, I love being home. I love to cook, garden, read, run, do family history, study, eat, quilt, play the piano, plan and have parties with friends, being warm-- the sun on my skin, my hands/body in hot water. I love the change of seasons, tulips in the Spring, annuals in the summer, pumpkins in the fall and soup & fresh bread from the oven in the winter.I LOVE my life. I LOVE babies and children and teenagers and adults. I love people. And if you're reading this, I'd bet that I LOVE YOU!!!!!
