Friday Q & A

I see that Elle is going to Girl’s Camp, as the YW President do you go with your Ward? I get to go for a few days, but can’t get off work to go the whole week. Girl’s camp is a favorite around here, hope you get a chance to go. Yes! I am going…

Mother’s Day

Ok, and a couple other reasons I love Mother’s Day (aside from the fact that I have such an amazing mother) is because first of all, my kids have made me into a mother, and I get to watch their excitement as they do things like set the table for me and present me with…

wedding bells

My baby brother got married last weekend. We went to Utah for the big bash. It was a chock full weekend. Chock full of commotion, craziness, emotion, coordination and lack thereof, pictures, and pure love. That boy found himself a great wife and they are quite a couple. We were SO glad to be there…
