As Justin left the bathroom this morning, with all his heart he sang out "Hallieujah"! "Hallieujah"!
If he wants to have his sister included in his joyous singing well, by all means. I almost don't want to tell him what the real words are.

words to live by .....
Today we had our first ward conference in the new Henry's Fork Stake. I have to admit, usually when we have visitors, you kind of know what to expect. Not this time, because I don't know our new presidency members really at all.
I really appreciate the words of wisdom our Stake President, President Markham had for us today in Sunday School. (By the way, I loved, loved the class, I learned so much.)
Two things really stuck out in my mind and hope I can start or get better at them immediately.
Never miss a family prayer. It's our change to come together. If we read our scriptures, even 5 min a day, the Lord will provide us the pointers that will show us the way. Boy haven't I needed that lately.

The Sun is Out! Yippee!
My mom always says "this too shall pass". And guess what, it did. What a smart lady!
I know things just have a way of working themselves out. I know it all just takes time. It's amazing how a whole bunch of sunshine can make a lot of the blues go away.
We had a pretty darn good day here at home playing in the snow and just hanging out. Alan finally got the snowmobiles out, we borrowed a huge tube from the Klingler's and with the Durtschi's and Meyer kids and even one Burton child it was a lot of fun watching the kids go all over the place bouncing around, screaming and squealing. It's the kind of day I wish just wouldn't have to end. I am a moron, however, and didn't get the camera out until it was basically all over. Durtschi's had gone home (sorry Melissa) and Ashlie had gone in the house.
PS Thanks, Bro Meyers for making our big hill even BIGGER.

Blah, Blah, Blah
It's been a rough start of a new year for me.....(I have to preface by saying I almost feel guilty complaining when we are sooooo blessed). Things just haven't seemed like they have been going how they should. I have decided to blame it all on having the Winter Blues. I'm ready for some sunshine and warmer weather.
Our car broke down, the dishwasher is broken, I can't seem to get energy to anything (hence my messy house), I'm not sleeping well, my neck hurts all the time, of course with headaches, we're having some troubles with Garrett in school and on the bus ( I love him with all my heart and I don't know how to fix the problems), Ashlie has had some social issues (I know it's just a part of growing up, but I still want to make it right, right now), my mom had surgery and I couldn't go be with her, we're having money troubles to the point of feeling like we are going down, my medical bills are sky high and ridiculous (how did that happen?), and tonight of all things I broke my toe.
How's that for a gripe session. As my mom tells me over and over, "This too shall pass."
