Stop and Smell the Roes

I seem to be very reflective today. I hope this does not mean that something big is going to happen in my life. I like things the way they are right now. Just a gentle wave now and then. Life is good and I am learning to do as the sign says and stop along the way of my journey and smell the roses. The older I get I guess the more I think of the things that are truly important. Dale has been out of town this week and sent me a sweet note telling me how much he loved me and that he was so grateful for our membership in the church. When you get out in the world and see how others live and their life style you truly do cherish what the gospel brings to your life.

Life is Short

So I was going through some old photos and came across this one of Dakota and Laycee I can't believe how fast the years have gone by. Those of you that want your kids to grow up, don't be in such a hurry enjoy the sweet little ones now. Don't get me wrong I love my teenagers but I do miss the little ones. Dakota and LayCee both were so full of life and funny and sometimes I think I missed out on some of it because I was to anxious for them to grow up. Enjoy life each day. Live it to the fullest because we never know when it could be our last.

An Example to me

This is my Niece's daughter, Whitni. She is serving a mission in Chicago. She is such a good examlpe to me. She is such a sweet and genuine person. Whit thank you for serving and teaching us all how to love the Lord and have more faith in him.

Two kinds of beautiy

So I woke up this morning to 5 inches of snow and what a contrast to a week ago being in Cancun! Both sunrises are beautiful in there own way. What a beautiful world we live in!
