I don't have a recent picture of Scott, but today is our 15th anniversary. I can't believe the time has come and gone so fast. I think of our dating time and it seems likes just yesturday, then I look at our beautiful family we have created together and just get mystified at how lucky and blessed I am. When I was dating and not finding anyone to marry at the age of 20, 22 etc. I thought I would be an old sphinster woman. My patriarchal blessing kept coming to mind that in the Lord's timetable things would happen. I am truely happy that the Lord had his time table and had is hand in having Scott and I meet. I am so blessed to have him and to have my 5 beautiful wonderful children. I don't know how I allow myself to get sad about things or frustrated with things when I have got such a wonderful blessing to be with me for eternity. Thank You Scott for loving me. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving me Scott and our wonderful family.

Taryn's Chorus

Taryn is in the Manila Magic Chorus at school. She loves to sing and I love to see her dimples when she smiles. Their director is such a neat lady and teaches them harmony, history and some pretty difficult songs. We love you Tayrn and are so glad you are taking a talent that Heavenly Father gave you and making it better.

Birthday Girl

My sweet Mirand is turned 12 today. I can't believe how fast time is going and how fast she is growing up. She is turning into such a sweet young lady and I'm so proud of her. She stands up for what she believes in and is a strong person. She is also a peace maker and often will give up her own things, whether time or possesions to make others happy. She is a great sister and even a better daughter. I know Heavenly Father is proud of her too and loves who she is becoming. Happy Birthday our little Sunshine Tigger.

Draper Temple

I need to be a better blogger. But I did want to post about going to the Draper Temple openhouse. It was such a fun experience with the kids. We met in a chapel at a nearby church where they showed us a short video with a broad explanation of what the Temple is about and how special they are. I really felt the Prophet's testimony and my spirit grew. I have blogged earlier about my dear Aunt Paula and how special she is to me. She is now on the other side with my beloved brother Jesus and our Heavenly Father. I felt her near me yesturday and know that she is o.k. Her Mom (my grandma) was also very close to me and I was so excited to feel them be with us. I am so blessed to be in this gospel and to be able to have these wonderful experiences that help me get through day to day trials. I know I am not alone and that there are many guardian angels watching out for me and helping me find my way back home. We stood together as a family in one of the sealing rooms where there are mirrors positioned so that we could see ourselves going on forever and ever. It was a beautiful sight and to know that we can be together eternally is priceless. I am very grateful for yesturday!!!
