A Big Night for Garran!


Tonight was the opening of the student show. It was so exciting to see Garran's work hanging in a gallery with a professional name tag next to it. It was fun going to an opening night. I had never been to one before, but I guess I had better get used to going to them. (Since he will be famous some day =)! We got to speak with some of his professors and they were all very complimentary of him and his work. It always makes you feel good to hear some one gush over your hubby and about his talent! It makes me happy to think that Garran will be able to go to work everyday doing something that he really loves. I know a lot of people that can not say that. How wonderful to go to work and teach drawing and painting but also be able to do it yourself. So yeah for Garran and to many more fun nights of gallery openings!

Good job G! When Jared keeps his room clean for 1 week we will have your masterpiece in our house on his wall. That is if you still want to. I can't wait.

our story

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
