SPT


so this week's spt challenge is to take a few moments and focus on that special holiday *thing* that you are planning for this year.


So this is how we have started kicking off every holiday season. The day after Thanksgiving we watch "The Polar Express", drink hot chocolate, with marshmallows and drag out all of our Christmas stuff. We listen to Christmas music and decorate the house. We have a lot of traditions but this is by far my favorite. Christmas is a favorite at our house so every extra day we get enjoy our decorations and listen to the music is even better for us! This picture is of the day I got married. It was just sitting next to the hot chocolate when I set it down to take the picture so that is why it is in there. That is my self portrait part of it.

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
