Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Summer Rules

It's official!!! Summer is here! How do I know? Maybe the 110 degree weather was a big indicatior. Or maybe the fact that the elastic in my underwear is melted! :) Actually, it's because "Summer Rules" has been invoked. Don't ask, I'll explain!

Our first summer in Arizona was back in 2000. And from that first summer sprouted a set of rules that Bret and I refer to as "Summer Rules."

Summer Rules:
1. When on a date, the man does NOT get the door for the woman. He gets in the car as fast as humanly possible and turns on the AC. If he's a real nice guy, he'll leave the restaurant/movie/bowling alley a few minutes before the woman and starts the AC.
2. Swimming pools are a form of bathing.
3. You have to turn on the outside water hose and give it a minute to "cool down" before touching the water. Third degree burns are possible if this rule is broken.
4. Oven mitts make great driving gloves.
6. NO NO NO (and I really mean NO) bare feet outside!!!!!

I'm sure there are some I've forgotten. But these are the rules. This morning, I invoked rule #1. It's all downhill from now on. :(
