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

18 and Life!!

Does anyone remember the old 90's song called "18 and Life" by Skid Row? Well, this was the story of my life last night!! :)

Some of you may remember that I offered to babysit for those in our Ward who wanted to attend the Memorial Services for Brad. I would have LOVED to have gone, but Bret worked late so I offered my babysitting.
At the start of the day I had 4 kids set up to come. And then within the next few hours more calls came in. The grand total at the end of it all - 18!!!! 18 kids and little old me. :)
It wasn't bad though. Nothing that a 2 ltr of Mt. Dew didn't help cure. LOL

So I've been walking around cleaning up the house singing this song:
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time
And it's 18 and life to go........
