President Hinckley

I tried to write a post about three times on Monday about President Hinckley passing away. I think I figured out that I cannot express in words what President Hinckley meant to me or how I feel. As a young convert to the church he was like a distant grandfather to me and I hung on to each word that he said and wanted to do good in his eyes. I knew then and know now that he was a man of God, that he was ordained by God to lead us. He spent his life serving others and what a great example that is to all of us! I am truly thankful for a prophet on this earth and grateful to have known such a wonderful man in my lifetime.

I was just thinking yesterday about how lucky I am and how blessed I am to have such a wonderful husband who wants the same things as me and how much the Gospel has blessed our lives. I wish these were the things they reported on the news about LDS people. How happy we are. How blessed we are.

Little Life Update

Well last night was Sydney's birthday party. It was a lot of fun and reminded how much I miss Ben, Mer, and Syd. In other news Heath has officially sent in all of his application to BYU but I am a little worried some it won't make it in time for the deadline. I guess there is always Winter semester! So that's pretty much life right now.....school, work, and applying to school. So in May we will either end up in Utah or staying in Texas. That's it for now-nothing too exciting going on I guess.

Following the crowd...

I am an official member of blog-a-mania! I have been for a little bit now but I really just had one so I could comment on other people's blogs (Bandaid and Mer!) . I suppose I will start posting now but I promise mine won't be as witty nor charming as the many other blogs out there. I am just a simpleton in this creative writing boom. Hopefully it'll bring a few laughs to your life though. I officially dedicate my blog to Sydney, Auntie, and Mer! Love you guys!
