She's Off!

Jenni and I dropped Emma off at EFY this morning and I hope that she has the time of her life! She was able to go with her cousin, Abigail and when they arrived and found their room they discovered that the room is the exact room that Abigail's dad lived in while at BYU years ago. Weird but cool. Have fun Em! Can't wait to hear all about it :)

Finding Joy In The Journey

"This is our one and only chance at mortal life-here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey-now.

-Thomas S Monson

President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Wise Words To Live By

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes...and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp...I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really there, and that I really lived."
