Day #334 - Oct. 23 The Spirit (Can't believe I am caught up again!!!)

The choir sang "I Know that My Redeemer Lives" in sacrament meeting today. We were well prepared and I thought it was going to go well. But I was not prepared for the spirit that very quickly entered the room today as we sang. It was unmistakably there. I am so grateful for that powerful feeling today. It reminds me that the Lord uses music to speak to our hearts and to invite the spirit.

Day #333 - Sisters



I am grateful that my daughters have each other as sisters. As I have grown older I have come to appreciate my own relationship with my sisters so much more. They are life-long friends. I hope that my girls will be able to be good friends as well.

Day #331, #332 - Park City


Walking Main Street



Family Time - We took the kids to Park City for one night over Fall Break. It was great to spend some time, just us. The kids loved the pool at the hotel the best.

Fall - We took the Alpine Loop home and enjoyed the views of all of the fall leaves up in the mountains. I had a tear in my eye the first day I saw the trees start to change color. I wasn't ready to give up the warm summer weather. Now I just want to enjoy the color and beauty as much as I can before it all disappears!

Day # 330 - House projects done!

Joel has been working on some house projects the past few weeks. It feels so good to have them done. The front of the house got a little face lift with a fresh coat of paint around the trim of the garage, on the front door and the railing up the stairs. He hung my mirror and other pictures around the house. On top of that he cleaned and organized two rooms in the basement! Great work dear. Thank you!

Day #329 - Call from a friend

I got a call from an old friend today. We haven't talked in a long time, so it was nice to catch up.

Day #328 - Thoughtfulness

I am grateful for the many kindnesses shown me today. It's been a great birthday.

Day #327 - Family Drive


click into this one to see the deer

We took a family drive today. We saw beautiful changing leaves, four deer and a fox.

Day #326 - Trip to Hale Theater

As part of my birthday, I took Anna and Eryn, Becca and some friends to see My Fair Lady at the Hale Theater. The show was good. The company was better.

Day #325 - Birthday Card


I got a great surprise in the mail today (a little early for my birthday). Cindy is another one of those great blessings in my life - past and present!

Day #324 - Nani

My dear friend, Nani is visiting Utah and came to visit today with her twin grandsons. It was so great to see her. Nani was one of my biggest supports during my pregnancy with Lily. She has always been a great shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, and a good example. I wish we lived closer, but I am grateful for the time we had, living so close in Hawaii.
