ANSWERED PRAYERS

I HAVE SO MUCH TO BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERY DAY, BUT ESPECIALLY TODAY. WE HAVE HAD SO MANY ANSWERS TO PRAYERS THIS LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. I JUST HAD TO PUT DOWN IN WORDS HOW THANKFUL I AM THAT HEAVENLY FATHER IS THERE FOR US. HE MAY NOT DO EVERYTHING IN THE TIMING THAT WE DESIRE, BUT IT IS SO TRUE THAT ONCE THINGS DO WORK OUT, YOU LOOK BACK AND YOU CAN REALLY SEE WHY HEAVENLY FATHER REALLY DOES SEE THE BIG PICTURE AND HIS TIMING IS BETTER. HE KNOWS ALL AND HE DEFINITELY ANSWERS PRAYERS. WE'RE DOING GREAT.

DISNEYLAND

JUST WANT TO SAY A QUICK CONGRATS TO THE WESTBROOK FAMILY FOR THEIR NEW ADDITION. BABIES ARE SO MUCH FUN. SHE IS ADORABLE. WE'VE ALL GOT SOME REALLY CUTE KIDS. THIS IS OUR KID'S FIRST TRIP TO DISNEYLAND ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. WE WERE GONNA WAIT UNTIL THEY GOT MUCH OLDER, BUT WE GOT IN FREE SO WE FIGURED WHAT THE HECK. IT WAS PRETTY FUN. MASON LIKED IT BETTER THAN MARLOWE BECAUSE HE WAS TOO YOUNG TO BE SCARED. MARLOWE WAS SCARED OF PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE CAROUSEL AND THE DUMBO RIDE. RIGHT WHEN MESE SNAPPED THIS PICTURE IS WHEN SHE REALIZED THERE WAS A HUGE MONSTER BEHIND US.

HOUSE-SITTING

WELL, MY PARENTS FINALLY GOT BACK FROM THEIR CRUISE TODAY SO THAT MEANS WE ARE BACK HOME. WE SPENT THE WHOLE WEEK HOUSE-SITTING FOR THEM. IT WAS FUN, BUT WE'RE GLAD TO BE HOME. WE HAD FUN HANGING OUT WITH THE WOLFGRAMM KIDS FOR TWO DAYS AT THE POOL. WE LOVE YOU GUYS. YEP, SWIMMING IN OCTOBER. I LOVE LIVING IN CALIFORNIA. SOUNDS LIKE MY PARENTS HAD A BLAST TOO. I GUESS MY DAD ENTERED THE HAIRY CHEST CONTEST AND WON. HE DANCED AND POSED LIKE NEVER BEFORE. HE REALLY CAME OUT OF HIS SHELL. THEY SAY THAT FOR CHRISTMAS THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE US ALL ON A CRUISE. I AM EXCITED. IT WILL BE MY FIRST TIME. I JUST HOPE THE SHIP DOESN'T SINK.

FRIENDS

LIFE IS GOOD AND FRIENDS ARE GREAT. SINCE I'VE BEEN MARRIED I HAVE MADE MORE CLOSE FRIENDS THAN I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES AND THE LOVE YOU GIVE TO OUR FAMILY. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. WE LOVE YOU.

PUT SOME ROMANCE BACK IN YOUR MARRIAGE

SO, LAST SATURDAY AT THE RELIEF SOCIETY BROADCAST A BUNCH OF US WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW OUR HUSBANDS WERE SO ROMANTIC DURING OUR COURTSHIPS, BUT NOW THE ROMANCE HAS DWINDLED DRASTICALLY. WELL, AFTER THIS WEEK I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO TAKE BACK EVERYTHING I SAID. IT IS LIKE MY HUSBAND SOMEHOW SPIED ON US AND HEARD EVERYTHING WE WERE SAYING AND NOW IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO PROVE ME WRONG. EVERYTHING FROM OPENING DOORS FOR ME TO PAUSING FOR A MOMENT TO HUG AND KISS ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GROCERY STORE JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES ME. I HAVE TO SAY MY HUSBAND IS THE BEST. HE IS SOOOOOOO SWEET. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. SO IF THERE ARE ANY HUSBANDS OUT THERE READING THIS TAKE A LITTLE LESSON FROM MESE, PUT A LITTLE ROMANCE BACK INTO YOUR MARRIAGE. TAKE TIME TO KISS YOUR WIFE AGAIN, A REALLY GOOD KISS.
