Favorite Quote

"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."

Family Christmas Party

Our family isn't going to be in the same place this year for Christmas because it is every ones year with their in-laws. Steve and I were going to be the only ones home this year since we couldn't go to his parents due to my visa not coming yet. So my parents had a party for all of us the week prior so they could let everyone open presents from them. We had dinner and watched every one open presents. The kids of course got spoiled, AND so did the adults! My parents bought Steve his plane ticket home for Christmas and gave us gift cards to Rumbi and Deseret Book along with some cash. Maddie came away with a La La Loopsy, pillow pet, and fur real kitten she had been begging for!
