2nd Anniversary, new puppy!

You can find this picture on Emily's blog too, but I like it so much I had to post it on the family blog. Such a cute little family!

I walk with 2 amazing women in the morning. They have changed from friends to sisters. I really love them. We have walked through deaths, marriages, sickness, romances and heart break. They lift me up and make me a better person.

We try to change up our walks, so everyday we hit a different section of our small town. We have weeded, wandered through empty houses, investigated the cemetery and watched the steeple go up on the temple.

Our Husbands humor us, and are entertained with the crazy things we do and talk about.

Yesterday the mail man told me that we should walk by the temple around 7am to see it when the sun first hits the valley. He said angel Moroni is amazing and the temple just glows.

So this morning with cameras in hand with ended our walk at the temple. It is so beautiful and we feel so blessed to have this wonderful gift given to our community. We are excited to go in and to have our children/ grandchildren hopefully sealed there.

This morning was a gift. I spent it with good friends, in a beautiful little town, and ended it with our hearts filled with the blessings of eternity.

The Crystal Gift

    Twenty seven years ago I was blessed with a great gift. Actually the gift came before. During my pregnancy with Crystal my hair was thick and beautiful, my skin was clear, I was in a good mood for most of the time. A really peaceful pregnancy. The best was yet to come!
   Crystal has been a blessing in my life. She is beautiful inside and out. She has the talent of brightening up a room, making everyone feel comfortable and being a true friend. She takes time to reach out to her Granny and is one of the best mom's I have ever seen. In my eyes she is practically perfect!
   Rick and I feel so blessed to be her parents. Happy Birthday honey!
