Our house

Steph, this post is for you! Here are the promised pictures of my house. The boxes are slowly being emptied. I still need to get some shelves and organizational items so that I can unpack and organize a little bit of those last items.
Here is what you see when you walk in my front door.

Here is the dining room and my third table. They have had to replace parts of it and finally the whole thing. But I am happy now. I am generally not a complainer, but the leaf in the table was broken when they delivered the first one. SO they brought me a new leaf and it did not match the table. Today, they just brought me a new table. Long boring story, sorry!!

Happy Mother's Day to me!! Here is my hutch/buffet that I bought from Maris for me :). My china looks great in it and I love it. I'm not a very good decorator, so don't look at everything else around it!!

The family room.

Liza's messy room, but I love the PURPLE!! You can't tell, but her little curtain is so cute!!

Liza's bathroom. I love the pink and green. I made the guest room pink and brown since I couldn't talk Liza into it for her room, and Maris would not let me make our room pink. Anyway!


So we were thinking of going to the Rough Riders game tonight, but of course it has now started to rain. We are going instead to see Harry Potter. Liza doesn't want to go. Oh well. I do things I don't want to do all the time ;). Tomorrow we are going to go bowling with some people in our ward. Hey, Heidi, remember Fred from SLCC? His sister lives in our ward here and has a daughter Liza's age. His sister-in-law was in the PTA in Farmington, too. It's a small, small world!!!
Tyler will be 12 in 3 1/2 weeks. Wow!! I am going to be a mother of a child who goes to Young Men's. Impossible! So anyway, my Mom and Morgan and Maris' Mom are all coming to visit. We are excited to see them!! I was talking to my mom today to get details figured out. :) I am happy.

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

-Audrey Hepburn


Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.


"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
