Yesterday we decided it would be easiest to stop by Target to get me a swimming suit on our way down to Sandy. *sigh* To my utter frustration, Target had only bikinis... and only tiny ones at that. No tankinis, no one-pieces, nothing. And no bikinis in my size either...I tried... thinking I could toss a tank over the top if I found one I liked. I ( Read more... )

Today we had one plan... go to A's college buddy's wedding open house. I showered and got ready and then we bummed around the house for what seemed like forever. Aaron slept a lot, then he played some games and slept some more. He needed it, but I was so restless to get out of the house.

Sometimes it's when people attack me personally. I think personal attacks are just plain rude. It's also rude to act superior and chastising to a person who may or may ( Read more... )

Today I had an incredibly pleasant confirmation of how mindful the Lord is of me. The entirety of church was designed just for me today. Sunday school was an incredible lesson on the Savior and the events leading up to and in the Garden. The spirit was so strong. The lesson was so personal. I left 5 minutes early to do singing time in nursery. When ( Read more... )

The bride's grandmother had accidentally locked all of the flowers in her van with the engine and AC running. The family was in chaos and the Bride and Groom could not have cared less. But they held the ( Read more... )

Sunday night we went up to Spruces campground to have dutch oven dinner with my family. Had Aaron not been saving vacation time for our family reunion in Vegas in August, we would have stayed over night and gotten home today. Just that one evening with no pressure, family time, good food and nature made a world of difference in my streak of ( Read more... )
