Paint Cans GALORE!!

For the past week I have been working on transforming these paint cans into time capsules for our young women mother/daughter night. I didn't think I would ever get done!! But with the help of my great Hubby we pulled it off and got them all finished up tonight. Just in time for tomorrows activity. I think they turned out cute! Inside they will put things like what their ideal wedding will have. What temple they would like to be sealed in. How many kids they want to have and what favorite names they have picked out for them. A picture what kind of wedding dress they would like to have, qualities they want in a husband, and then a note from their mom of the things she hopes for them. On the top it says that it is to be opened on the night of their engagement. I think the girls will have a fun time making them. Our theme for the night is "Following the path to be sealed for eternity" we have a fun night planned for the girls and their moms. We will be having dinner and then I have asked a special guest speaker from our ward, Loree Zito to talk about preparing now for a temple marriage. I know she will do a great job!!
Everyone has put so much time and effort into preparing for this activity, hope everything goes well!

My Calling

I have been running all over town today trying to get things I need in preparation for a mother/daughter activity we are having this Wednesday for Young Women. As I finally got home I was thinking about how much I love my calling for church. I'm am excited about the neat things we have planned on Wednesday night and how it is SO worth all the trouble, time, and effort I have to put into the activity in order to make it a successful night! I love the girls in our ward! I love what strong spirits they have and when I read posts on their facebooks and etc. about how much they love the temple it makes me so proud of them for the choices they are making in such a tough world! You girls are the BEST!!!

We have finally joined the world of Bloggers!

Yay! We did it! We can offically say we have a blog. I never thought of it being a journal and now that I see how it all works I wish I would have done it sooner! I have never been good at keeping a journal and I'm sure one day I will reget not writing down so many memories about our family. So this is my new goal, to keep this updated (we will see how it goes!) so that we can print it out and keep a record of our day to day life. Things that are recorded today might not seem so important or signifigant, but tomorrow it becomes a memory and those are ever so precious!!
