And so It Begins ... Again

So Seminary began again for me today and I don't know what was going on. I was totally afraid that I would be late because I am all off schedule from my parents being down here for the last week(which was awesome and exhausting) and didn't think I would be awake but, I was fine. But dang! Those kids were all over the place. Talking out of turn, random comments, funky questions that didn't really deal with the lesson. And Hannah has such a great story. And the random text msg, me having to be the bad guy(which I don't usually mind but seemed tedious today) and just all around shenanigans. Send Help .. fast I might not make it through the week. And I had to hold them late... Hey man - a deal's a deal! Maybe I should invite parents to come and hang out with us. So that's all. I bet that tomorrow will be better ... maybe.

What is up with teenagers?

PIF who rah

ya know.... the first time I saw one of these on another blog I thought it looked like so much fun. And here I am a winner! Who would have thunk! So this is what I am going to do... I hereby promise to send fun- homemade goodness (well, at least partially homemade) to three random posters on my blog. I will give myself a time limit of 6 months. Does that sound extreme? Well, It's not if you know me. Plus I am still working on a baby blanket from last spring for a baby born last fall. But the pirate blanket is pretty cool, if I do say so myself. So I will taylor the gift to fit you (no tutu's for boys, no cookies for diabetics) If you will give your word of honor that you will spread the love and warm feelings by doing a Pay if Forward of your own. Good Luck! Both of you who read this! Ha Ha

Love LM

Just a quick note for anyone out there who checks my blog ... I can think of at least 3 people who know that I have a blog ... and they might check it ... Anyway moving on to business. (drumroll) My parents are going to be in town this next week and we are going to be having a little party. Anyone who would like to come by and say is welcome. It will be New's Years Eve starting at 7:30 or 8 ish. Sorry for the short notice. I have been trying to get invites out for over a week :)

Hope to see you there - LM

PS. Because my dad is immunosuppressed please don't come sick and leave the germs at home ;)

Hard days ahead

I don't know how many people know that I am doing this whole fantastic blog thing but just in case someone is listening, or I guess watching is more accurate, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have asked about my Dad and Mom. My family is so grateful for your concern and love and prayers on our behalf. It is a hard thing when seemingly out of no where your mortality rears up in front of you and it is time to face the music. We are trying to remain hopeful and optimistic and remember that this is part of a greater plan for our happiness and that The Creator of The Plan is in charge. He is not a general in war willing to sacrifice pawns for the greater good but a Father who loves His Children and wants them all to return to live with Him. He knows us and can and will make all things for our benefit. Especially the hard things. Thanks for all your friendship and love. We are lost without one another.

3....2...1...Blast Off!

So I am jumping head first in to this hoping that it will enable me to keep in touch better. I am, in fact, The World's Worst Correspondent. Knowing that about myself does nothing to disapate the guilt and certainly doesn't keep me up to date about those in my life who are important to me. So, with an optomistic attitude I begin my adventure on blog spot
