HOLLYWOOD

Enjoyed a fun filled full bus load of crazy kids, as we drove off to Hollywood to see some sites. Turns out there were several hundred people protesting something, and blocked off lots of our stops along the way but we enjoyed the ride and dancing on the bus, and just being together. I almost got taken away but was able to escape, the pirate and his evil, thievery.

WOW IT'S FOR REAL...... WHAT A WONDERFUL EVENT

And the Oscar goes to.......

TO MY VERY SPECIAL VALENTINE.

HAPPY 8 YEARS OF FEELING REALLY GOOD. I LOVE YOU,
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
TO MY SWEETHEART

If not for my sweetheart of A Valentine, The following activities would not have a been possible, oh how we enjoy all of our trips and fun together. Think he took the easy way out? NOT a chance. To all who think so, think again. Some of you know. But because of the big heart of a guy he is he chose to enjoy the rest of his life here upon this earth doing the things he loves and knows his family loves too. It has been 8 years since his surgery. And I think he is most grateful he did. Enjoying the following has truly been a huge rainbow of a deal.
I love you my Valentine.

DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS PERSON?

If not for a man who made choices to change his life he may never have been here to enjoy these moments, lot smaller man, but still a BIG HEART. /Thanks for all you do and have done for all those whom you come in contact. Love you bunches.

Simplicity Sunday

Life at Walden Pond

As I attended the Ward Conference today in our Home Ward, and listened to the Relief Society lesson, I was reminded that my goal for the year is holding nicely. Simple. calm, slow down. Those were my goals for 2009, so far, the last week of the month, and I feel a great pleasure in knowing I am still reminded of this very difficult goal in my life. I am a very Do do do person, hardly taking a moment to stop and "smell the roses" so to speak, but as the lesson pointed out, by Elder L. Tom Perry, to earnestly seek ways to simplify our lives, I was reminded it's a goal, that is totally attainable. The wonderful poet Robert Browning's words,
"The best is yet to be" sticks in my mind, and I continue to pause, reflect and heal, as Henry David Thoreau did at Walden Pond many many years ago. The necessities of life are so simple, and very easy to obtain, I will continue, to obey the commandments, that will help me to accomplish is goal.
