I bet you look great with no make-up!

My name is Andrea,  April 1, 2009 at 11:25 AM  

Yeah, well you'd lose that bet.

If make-up is the one thing you let go of, KUDOS to you!! You're a great example of balance and keeping your sanity.(You are sane, right??)

Okay so when Sis. Holkanson (no idea how to spell her name) got transferred a little while ago my mom called me the next Monday and said that she had the sisters over for dinner in McKinney. Our pictures are on the wall at my parents house and Sister Holkanson told my mom that she know me! I was so excited that she got to meet my mom and that she was in their ward! Anyway... the picture of Sis. Walch just reminded me of that! We (I guess you all) have great sisters! We miss the Sister missionaries here. Especially now that I am home more to be able to help out. Oh well... I guess elders do fine as well! :) Miss you guys!

we got too attached to those sisters, so sad they had to go, but it was time :(

Oh my. Listening to this schedule makes me so TIRED. Seriously. I sure hope you're doing something to preserve your sanity and at least sleeping at night!

"Other things may change us, but we start and end with family."
"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard..." from Annie

"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"
