SPT - 2008


THIS WEEKS SPT CHALLENGE-
i have one more valentine to create: one more act of love to perform, one more thoughtful card to send, one more gift to give. the person who will be receiving this valentine is not expecting it, which makes it so much fun to prepare!!i am so excited, because that valentine is...me!but, what to do? will i buy something for myself? will i write myself a love letter? will i indulge in chocolate, or will i spend a few hours with the ones I love?

Ok well for Valentines Day we are going to start a Family Tradition of having a very sweet candle light family dinner. We got this idea from so good friends of ours that have young kids. We will decorate the table with a red table cloth, candles, rose petals, and our meal will be heart shaped and apple sparkling cider for all to enjoy! For dessert chocolate covered strawberries! It will be wonderful. Garran and I are planning a night for just us on Friday which will be lots of fun! --- I may have a few suprises up my sleeve, but we will just have to wait and see!

I know a few of my friends have asked about what SPT is and so I thought I would give a brief explination on this one. SPT stands for SELF PORTRAIT TUESDAY. You can click on here and go to the ladies blog that post the questions each Tuesday. Well usually she will post the question for your self portrait a few days before. It is a lot of fun to see what she will come up with. If you are interested you should check it out. It has been lots of fun!

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
