GET LOST!

Finally! Lost is back on TV after such a long time. Of course, tonight is just another catch-up episode (since it's been so long we can't remember what's going on). Tomorrow night is the big night though and I will definitely be watching.

DON'T BLINK!

I have the three greatest kids in the world. I love them so much but can I just tell you that they grew up WAY too fast?! I am far too young to have kids this old! I remember thinking when they were around the ages of 12, 10 & 8 that I just wanted to freeze time right there. It was a fun and relatively easy time. But, somehow, when I blinked they grew up and now they are all adults and living busy adult lives. They are good and fun and love each other, their parents and others.

Love this Boy!

I have the cutest grandson ever! Logan was born in November 2006 and is with me at least three days a week. He has been a ray of sunshine in my life the last 14 months. He makes me laugh every day. My family makes fun of me because I follow the poor little guy around with a camera in his face but I don't want to miss a single adorable thing he does. He's starting to talk and he is making the funniest faces. He's such a blessing in my life.

A Sad Day

I know I already posted today but I just found out that President Hinckley passed away at about 7:00 pm tonight. I'm so sad. I'm sure you will agree with me that he has touched our lives in countless ways. I have loved and admired him - especially for his optimism and I'm so grateful for all that he has done to serve the Lord and the people of the church. You will be missed!

On your mark . . . get set . . . blog!

Okay, so, since my daughter began blogging, I've gotten seriously addicted to snooping on blogs. It's so fun to see who you can find and what people are interested in and what fun things are out there. Everyone keeps telling me that I need to start my own blog. I've procrastinated until today. I didn't want to blog about just anything, I wanted my blog to have some purpose, some meaning, in my life at least. Maybe I need to feel like it was justified and not another way for me to waste time at the computer. I decided at the beginning of the year that I need to have a whole lot more gratitude in my life. Some of the happiest people I know are people who are seriously grateful - for everything! I want to be like that so that's what my blog will be about - things that I'm grateful for.

Today, being Sunday, and having attended church, it seemed like the subject of the atonement came up over and over and over. I guess it was the thing I needed to hear. I am so grateful for my Savior and His life and his sacrifice. I so need to learn to incorporate the atonement more into my life on a daily basis. I would be nothing without Him and His willingness to die for me.
