feeling blessed

cute roommates

We had a good day at church.  During ward council we talked about the new "come follow me" curriculum for the adults.  The youth have been using it for 2 years now and it is awesome.  I think it will really be good in RS and Priesthood too.

Brittany sang in Sacrament meeting.  She has a beautiful voice and it was very sweet.  She sang "Silent Night", a favorite. 

Our talks were good.

guinea pigs like Shakespear

I taught the laurels because Laurie is visiting her grandbabies.  We had the lesson on gifts of the spirit and I think it went well.  I love those girls a lot.  We have 4 laurels and 3 are graduating, and one moving up.  We need to pray in some more girls!

The afternoon was spent in "Sunday pants" (jammies to the uninitiated) watching Christmas movies.  Facetimeing the fam.  We even got to have a short facetime with Joneaux.  We are missing his baptism next weekend :(  So one not so blessed thing is we always have multiple great events on the same day that we want to/need to go to.  This Sunday Grace has her choir concert the exact same time as his baptism.
This friday Hannah comes home and lands at the airport the exact same time as a soccer game.
Worst of all the wedding and the twins are the same time.
Always always I am having to pick between things.  Choosing between bad and good is easy.  Choosing between great and great is hard.

11 years!

This is the last week of school before Christmas break.  I am almost done shopping.  Ethan has 4 games this week.  Grace has 2 choir concerts.  And Hannah comes home from college!!

18 weeks!

Grace loves her animals.  Gwen is a cute little eater.  Ocean is a friendly bird.  She is always lobbying for more.  I hope she lives on a farm, or in a zoo, when she is grown.
