NOTHING NEW

I have totally been slacking on the blog updates......but here's the problem......I have NOTHING to write about. Everyday is the same old, same old . Get up, get the kids breakfast, work out, hang out at the park, hang out at home, go to bed. I feel like summer is passing by so quickly and we are wasting it. The weather should really co-operate.

The weekend was good. Nate was actually home on Saturday for a change, and it was almost weird to have him around. We got some yard work done and I cleaned the van out (yes, AGAIN) to get ready for our trip. And then.......it was GIRLS NIGHT!!!! Oh how I love these nights. Out for supper and then to a movie. It was STUPENDOUS!! My cheeks were actually a little sore from all the laughing. I love my friends, yes I do. After church we had a couple of families over for supper and again, much fun, much laughter.

I had to teach the lesson in Relief Society today and it was on the priesthood. I really am grateful for the priesthood and that my husband is worthy to use this gift. The priesthood has blessed my life, and the lives of my family so many, many times. I hope that I can teach and guide my sons on the right path so that they too can have the power of the priesthood and bless others. I am also proud of my kids for their eagerness to invite friends to church and to share what knowledge they have of the gospel to others. Merynn brought a friend to church today and even gave her a Book of Mormon. Her boldness is an example to me.

I have so much to do this week to get ready to leave and I don't want to do ANY of it. How to get motivated? Anyone want to come to my laundry? Anyone?

Also, thanks Linds for always anwsering your phone and my silly questions. And FYI - the piano playing went so ridiculous even my Josh commented on my mistakes!(no go with the book in the library). But it is over.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH GANDER!!! We love you.
