So, It's Been a While....

I'm sitting here waiting for the Locksmith to come and make a new key for the car Lucy drives when she is home (notice my avoidance of the term "Lucy's car.") I've lost the one and only key somewhere in my house.  Which tells me, instead of sitting here waiting, I should be somewhere else cleaning out and organizing.  But I digress.  I thought it might be a good time to quickly post on my very, very neglected blog.  As you see, in my last real post, Will turned 12.  Yeah, well, he's 15. It seems too much time is passing without having accomplished what I would like.  A case in point: I just glanced over to my right and this is what I saw

March 28.  It's April 8th.  How are there so many things in my life that are behind, or not happening?  I have to get with the program.  And now, after watching four sessions of my church's bi-annual conference (which is a highlight of my year) I have so many things to add to my list of important things to do... 

I will not be discouraged.  I will just DO IT.  

So here is a blog post.  It's not imperative, or even important, but it's something I've had on my list that I can now say I've done.  And to make it more worth your while, I just have to show you what Will, our 12 year old in the last family post, looks like today.  Good lookin' guy.

Maybe I should keep this up.

I LOVE General Conference

There were so many amazing talks yesterday and today.  I can't wait to read them.  Here's a little fun I had after the last session this afternoon:


















Maybe I should think about this blogging thing some more.  It's been a while.

Conference Weekend

Two of my favorite weekends of the year are Conference weekends in April and October when the membership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, worldwide, listen to the leaders of the church speak directly to us. My cup runneth over. This quote was taken from just one of many talks that left an imprint on my heart. There are so very many ways I can, and need, to improve my life, but also, so many ways I have been richly blessed. I'm grateful.
