Days 117 - 121 Cacthing Up

Catching Up

117 - 121

Wow, time is flying by so fast.

I went to Idaho to pick up Ciara on Friday.

Saturday, we went to Provo, to see Katie & Tom.  I also got to spend

some time with my friends Connie and Julie. And I got to see

 some of my favorite missionaries....Elder Brimhall,  Yagi & Kelly.

Then on Monday, we drove back home to California.

It's been back to work yesterday and today.

Seems like I was just posting on here yesterday.

Christmas is just a few days away!

I am not quite ready.

But I am so thankful for all my blessings.

My heart still aches for all those families who lost loved ones

in the school shooting in Connecticut.  I don't understand and I

just can't stop thinking about it.  

It makes me really appreciate the gospel and my family.

Hopefully, now I can get back on track.

I love having my house full of family again.

Just wish my Courtney was here.

today i am so thankful for the peace the gospel

brings and for my family.

my heart aches for all the families affected

by the senseless shooting in Conneticut today.

I pray that they will feel the love of their Heavenly Father.

And know their loved ones are with Him.

Day 113 - Letters

Day 113

Letters

Got a letter from a dear friend today.

Went to the mailbox and was so surprised to see a letter for me!

Isn't that just the best feeling to get a letter.

A handwritten letter...there is nothing like it.

Emails are great, messages are good but there is something

about seeing a letter in the mailbox for you.

I just smiled all day.

Thankful for friends and letters!

Day 112

Sunday Again

Seriously, the weeks fly by.

How is it possible that it is Sunday again?

I love Sundays.  I love how they help renew me for the upcoming week.

I love Christmas music.  I have been playing it all week.

This is going to be a wonderful Christmas.

Writing this blog has helped me to see how many great things I have

in my life.  And helped me to focus on the positive things in my life.

I'm really thankful for all I have been blessed with.  My life is far from

perfect but it is still wonderful.

Day 111 - party

Day 111

ParTAY!

So, yesterday we had a semi-surprise party for my sister in law Caryn.

It was really fun.  

I am really thankful for my all my sisters in law.

I have been blessed with 6.  And not having any sisters its pretty awesome.

I love my family and how much fun we have when we are together.

I hit the jackpot when it came to inlaws.

Last night was just so much fun.  

I stayed up till 3:30 a.m. 

And that's saying something for me.

We played games, we ate, we made christmas ornaments, we talked and laughed but I think the most memorable part was the 

Dance party!

Just cuz we are Mom's doesn't mean we don't know how to have fun.

Happy Birthday Caryn!
