celebrate~

ok so i have known for a long time how talented garran is. i know some people hear artist and think "what is he going to do with that" or who knows what else. however i know he is going to do great things and i think he will be an even better professor. today however we got a wonderful surprise. there was an art show at the school garran attends and garran submitted an etching that he had done. we thought that the award ceremony was tonight, however we were wrong. it was last night. very sad about missing it because garran won an award!!!!
he received the Douglas Lindseth Art Award: (the award stated)
This award is given to a current art major who has consistently proven to be an extraordinary student, a person who is hardworking, capable and unusually committed to the serious study and practice of art.
it goes on to state how the award was started and the family that created it. it also came along with a cash prize, which we were both very surprised by!
hopefully this blog doesn't come off the wrong way, but i am so happy for garran. i know that he is super talented and when things like this happen, i just get so excited for him!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS GARRAN! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH =)

our story

My photo
Midwest, United States
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
