Happy Last Day of 10 Days off from Work

It went WAY too fast. Just saying.

And happy birthday to my sweet nephew Ben! He is 10 today. Wow! Ben-10! That is a cartoon for those who didn't know.

We hope mom was there. I think she was.

Good People

"It is gratefulness which makes the soul great."

And I hope I am learning to be that way for I am so grateful for parents who are examples of that and of who I could not have asked for better parents. We grew up with love we felt every day. Something I would not trade for anything. Our childhood was filled with amazing memories of that love and laughter and the perfect, simple, carefree days of childhood.

The greatest compliment I can think of: my parents are good people.

And the thing that stands out also in my mind and heart is of how my parents live the gospel. They believe but most importantly, they live it.

Thank you, Mom and Dad. I hope I can strive each day to truly show my love and respect for you in how I live my life. And for what I believe in and stand for. Humbly and gratefully.

I love how young and cute they look. How happy they are together and for all eternity.

Happy 11-11-11

A fun one time of this year. Supposed to be good luck...but how would it stack up against "rabbit, rabbit", which is monthly, I wonder...

Happy Birthday, cute Mom

I am thinking of you today...just like everyday. Words can't honestly describe how much I look up to you and love you and am so grateful for you. You have truly made me who I am. Never a better example. I am proud and blessed to be your daughter.

And the YW in our ward did such an amazing job at YW in Excellence last night. It was a low key evening but a really good evening. Just perfect. Great YW! Watch out, world...they are coming and amazing things will happen!

---------------------

And can I add that I am SO tired of being patient? That is what my whole life is made up of...having to be patient. Today is a hard day to be that way. I hope tomorrow is better.

Saved-Up Wishes

“When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.”

Memories

Memories...hold each one safely in your heart.

It's an Eeyore day

It's a gray Eeyore day. Mom, I know you know I would say that.

Lego the Scary!

Lego, anyone?

Scary Jack!

And I have to add that don't you wish the world would stop moving? Just so you can keep a time period forever? I wish that.

Paper Toys

"Paper" toys as my 5 year old nephew calls them. I think he did a great job drawing all the Toy Story characters. I especially love Bullseye. (And I hope you said, "rabbit, rabbit"today. I think we all need a little extra luck this month.)
