"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Bear Lake

My parents treated our family to a fun-filled weekend at Bear Lake. They rented us a house and my sister-in-laws family offered their boat for us to use. We spent the entire day at the beach playing in the sand and boating. I forgot how much I hate water sports. My brother and sister convinced me to go tubing and I lasted about 1 minute before I freaked out and about had a panic attack in the water. I get so claustrophobic and about pass out when I am in a lake.. ha ha, I am a huge wuss! We played lots of games and did some crafts and enjoyed spending time together. Sunday morning we got up for church, cleaned the house, ate more food and headed back home. We did miss having Steve with us. He started a new job as an electrician in Canada and was the only one who couldn't be with us. I forgot to take the camera, so thanks to Adam for letting me steal his pictures!
