Blast from the Past
Bret and I were able to talk about our missions last night at a fireside for the youth in our ward. It was great fun preparing. I read my entire mission journal and was reminded of some great experiences I had. We also had a lot of fun looking at old pictures of our missions. For those of you who don't know, Bret and I met while in the same district in the MTC. For those of you that did know here is a pictures of our district... just a little blast from the past.

Happy Valentine's Day!
I am so grateful this weekend to have a wonderful, caring and loving husband. He gave me these beautiful roses last night.
Valentine's Day is kind of a bitter sweet holiday in my family. My stepdad John passed away 7 years ago on Valentine's Day. Five years ago my neice Maggie was born on February 10th and passed away on February 26th. As I reflect on the loss we have felt I also reflect on the blessings and joy that life can bring. We are going to Manti this weekend to spend time with my Mom. We want her to know that even though her sweetheart is not here she is still loved by so many. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and can reflect on those in your life that you love.
When his daughter Maggie passed away my brother-in-law Andy wrote "Maggie's Message" I decided to post it here because I think it is very fitting for Valentine's Day.

Crazy Clothes Day!
Last Friday Max was going potty and Maddie went in to the bathroom right after him to go. They had both taken off their pants and left them in the hallway. Max was goofing around and I kept telling him to get his pants on. The last time I asked, he said, "Mom I do have my pants on, see!" I went out in the hall to see and this it what I found.
It took me a little while (partly because he is stubborn but mostly because I was laughing so hard) to convince him that those were not his pants, they were Maddie's pants. When he decided to believe me he gave Maddie her pants and she put them on backwards.
Later that night, Max decided to decorate his pajamas, I went in his room and he was all decked out.
So Maddie decided to join him. When I told her I wanted to take her picture, she climbed in my bed and said, "Cheese!" We have got some crazy kids, but they are so much fun.
