Sunday: Quote

It's Sunday I'm in Love.

Sundays and Sunnights are seriously our favorite. 

What is better than having the excuse to do nothing because its Sunday. 

One of life's many treasures.

Insightful right?

Your welcome.

I really, really don't like getting pictures of myself taken.
But the reason for this picture is...
Remember last year's red hat picture.
I'm going to take a picture in this red hat every fall until I'm ninety.
Seems vain but I have to.
I have to.
No matter how bad I hate it.

Sunday drives home.

I love sunday drives home. Every time we are driving at sunset I am always wishing I had my camera. Luckily I did this past Sunday.  Of all the places I have lived and visited, I gotta give it up to Pocatello for having close to if not the best sunsets. And it might be nice to listen to this all the while.
 

once upon a time

"Over the years I have been exposed to many beautiful languages—each of them is fascinating and remarkable; each has its particular charm. But as different as these languages can be, they often have things in common. For example, in most languages there exists a phrase as magical and full of promise as perhaps any in the world. That phrase is “Once upon a time.”  Aren’t those wonderful words to begin a story? 


“Once upon a time” promises something: a story of adventure and romance, a story of princesses and princes. It may include tales of courage, hope, and everlasting love. In many of these stories, nice overcomes mean and good overcomes evil. But perhaps most of all, I love it when we turn to the last page and our eyes reach the final lines and we see the enchanting words “And they lived happily ever after.”  


Isn’t that what we all desire: to be the heroes and heroines of our own stories; to triumph over adversity; to experience life in all its beauty; and, in the end, to live happily ever after?"


- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

sunday.

i didn't think i wanted to blog today, but now i do. it was a great day. spencer and i watched the cutting edge this morning before church. i love that movie. every time i watch it, i really dislike the girl in it, until about the last five minutes. my mom and i used to watch the movie when i was little. spencer made french toast to eat while watching the movie. he's a great cook. and his homemade syrup is delicious. did you know when he eats french toast, he eats a minimum of 8 pieces. 8 pieces! that are topped with butter, peanut butter, and syrup.  


then, we got ready for church. church was incredible today. i felt the spirit alot. and i really, really like/needed/loved it. it moves you. makes you want to be a better person. and what is more exciting than that. possible having a child. i haven't done that yet, so lets just say its exciting.  i went home teaching with spencer after church. i was grateful for the opportunity.  the man he home teaches is a new convert who has completely changed his life. spencer taught him a short message. i found myself crying throughout almost the whole thing. i felt dumb, but then i didn't care. the spirit does that to you. it reminds you that it doesn't matter. 


i was really impressed by something this man said. he said all you need in life is God and food. and here i am, wanting a new couch/wardrobe/rugs. this is a man who has no car, no family that lives close, no job, and worries about if he will have food to eat in a month. and he remains faithful because he KNOWS that God is good. and He is. this man knows that God will see him through this. he knows that God is essential to life. and He is. i left realizing that my wants/needs are quite different than this man's. i learned a great lesson. i left humbled.


it is these types of emotions and experiences in my life that i don't want to forget. therefore, i document them. 


then. we ate dinner at the landons and relaxed. 

to progress toward perfection

sure do love this.

it is our privilege

"We live in a noisy, contentious world, where it is possible to be viewing or listening to information, music, or even pure nonsense virtually every waking hour. If we want to have the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, we must find time to slow down, ponder, pray, and live so we are worthy to receive and act upon His promptings. We will avoid major mistakes if we heed His warnings. It is our privilege as members to receive light and knowledge from Him even to the perfect day".

- Elder Quentin L. Cook
