I lead a dull and boring life. (Lucky me!)

Since my last post,

  • I have gotten up in the morning
  • I have worked, in all of it’s varieties
  • I have taken care of my family
  • I have gone to bed

EVERY SINGLE DAY!

What I love to do

  • Wake up to a bright, new day
  • Work to help provide for my family, work in my church callings, work while serving those around me
  • Take care of my family
  • Rest and prepare for another bright day

My life may seem dull and boring by the worlds standards…
but it is exactly the life I love!

My privilege

What a blessing it is, to have the privilege to pray for a friend.

Whirlwind

I just finished stuffing  over 100 strawberries with a cheesecake filling (recipe HERE)
for the Pot Luck after church today.

I am now reflecting on the whirlwind of the past two weeks.

  • We drove up to Idaho with Tay do drop her off for her 2nd Semester. She will be gone for a while this time. Two semesters, back to back, with only a month in between for summer break. It was so nice having her home (since Christmas) but I am happy that she is back at school and excited to be learning!
  • Kylee has been busy preparing for finals, fund raising for her trip to India and applying for Graduation. She has only 2 more semesters left and I could not be any more proud. I LOVE it when my daughters excel and accomplish more than I did.
  • Last week, my Sunday School lesson was on The Healing Power of Forgiveness from the Marriage and Family Relations manual. As always, Evan sits by my side and assists me in my lessons. I love that we teach Temple Prep/ Marriage Relations TOGETHER.
  • Evan and I cleaned out the garage yesterday. A two hour project lasted ALL day. There is noting like two old people groaning from aches and pains after a full day of active work. The spring cleaning will continue as we purge the house of unwanted/unused items. We will be holding a garage sale later this spring to help Kylee raise more money.

I am looking forward to this day of rest.
HERE is the link to an article that inspired my lesson last week. I hope you find some inspiration too.
