troublesome tennis shoes~


for almost two days now one of this pair has been missing. we have searched high and low. we completely cleaned out our van. i had sargento move furniture and help clean out under beds all in an effort to find this one missing shoe that belongs to our busy little curls. i was so frustrated i was even telling friends and family how i just knew that this morning i would be making a trip to target to get some new tennis shoes before our little trip to see thomas. i know it is not a big deal but i hate buying new shoes for the kids because they grow out of them so quickly and he has only had this pair for a few months. so i was ready to put him in either his church shoes or snow boots to go to mom school so that i could run to target to get him a new pair, when.... sargento took out he trash this morning. guess what he found when he pulled the bag out of the trash can clear at the bottom. thats right the missing shoe. luckily nothing had leaked through the bag or anything and the shoe was just fine. so now we have both shoes ready for a lot of running this weekend when we go to visit thomas. what i am wondering is how in the world his shoe ended up in the bottom of the trash under the bag. it is rare that our trash can goes very long with out a bag in it, and you would think sargento or i would have noticed a shoe in the bottom when we put the new bag in. oh well mystery solved and he still has his cool blue and red tennis shoes!

I love reading your blogs at the end of the week. LOL It is like watching one of my fav shows, best week ever, it's like a highlight reel. :) Glad you found the shoe I am sure it was driving you crazy, as it would me. Have fun at Thomas and take pictures. I think you should all get top hats and make it your Christmas card picture. LOL I know what you are saying about teenagers. I saw that first had. I am going to do the eight blog but you missed one on one of the questions. :)

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
