Stinky Box Disaster~

Ok Folks so who is not excited about getting a package. When we ran home for a minute yesterday there was a package on our front porch. We were so excited. It was not something we were expecting, and who does not love to get a package. So we put it in the car with us and decided we would open it as we continued to run our errands. A few minutes into our journey I started to smell an unusual aroma but did not really mind. I mentioned it to Garran but he said he did not smell anything. So we continued to drive and Garran decided to open the box. Oh my goodness. It was filled with all kinds of gifts for us from Garrans aunt. (They were last years Christmas presents =) Anyways so he opens it up and starts handing out the gifts. I got a bracelet and the boys got some blocks and a dvd. However as Garran is handing things out, I am starting to retch. Garran continues to take out scarves and at this point I have every window open that will open. I am seriously trying to drive and not get sick.
So finally at the bottom of the box we find the culprit. At the bottom of the box was a bottle of cologne and a bar of scented soap. I am sure a little of them would have smelled nice. But locked in that box, and maybe having a leak in the cologne bottle. It was enough to drive me out of the car. Oh I felt so sick. The smell was more than I could handle. So it was wonderful to get a package, however, not so wonderful to almost get sick. Thanks anyways Aunt Betty. We all loved our gifts.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
