So I have to say that this weekend was a tad bit crappy. On the 14th, it was my dad's 5th month of being gone. To top it all off, it was stake conference (my dad was big into stake conference, being the stake president) and the mission prez and his wife spoke as well as singing called to serve (one of my dad's favorites). So needless to say, it was a bit emotional and I have decided that I will probably just never do well with stake conference.
How grateful I am for the plan of salvation, for the love of my Savior and the testimony I have of His will and plan. I was blessed to come to a family who loved the Gospel and taught their chidren to love it too. I hope to be the kind of parents that mine were and are. My mom's example of strength and faith is overwhelming. I'm not saying she doesn't get lonely, but she is striving to know the Lord's will and stay close to those things that give her comfort, prayer and scripture study. She is amazing to me. I miss my dad and long for him to call me "beepers" and tell me that everything will look brighter in the morning. (It's time for a phone call Jimmy!!)

I hope you don't have the same hangup with Steak Dinners. That would be a shame. Good thing your hubby works for Olive Garden and not Outback Steak House. Hope your week is better. Later.
Hey! Thanks Becky! You sure made my week a lot better. I'm learning the tricks of this whole blog thing. What did I ever use to do before this.....? Tell me what you think!
I'm so sorry Becky. I can't even imagine. Hope this week is better for you!
I know I don't always say anything, but I think of you, your mom, and your siblings very often. Hang in there!
