She's Home

Thank you mom for always treating me like a daughter and not just a daughter in law. Thank you for loving me, teaching me and being the best Grandma to our children. I look forward to your influence from beyond the veil. We will meet again!

Learning

So it's not really so much what we learn but what we do with what we learn that matters. I know how to make chocolate chip cookies but if I never make them what good is the knowledge of knowing how to make them? I have also learned that if you don't use what you learn then it can go away. And yet there are some things that are ingrained in my mind that I will never forget. I wonder what makes me remember certain things and then other things are gone in an instant it seams. Anyway just wanted to blog somthing but didn't have the energy to go find pictures to put on so you get my ramblings. :) Thanks for reading!

Her

When asked recently what she was thankful for she said "I am thankful for life"

Her wish: "that you will all stay active in church because the church has meant the whole world to me and without the gospel we are nothing".

Her prayer: she's thankful for all things eternal and for her family and this country.

Her song: Be Still My Soul

Her loves: Her family, cooking, painting, teaching, music, the Savior, the Couer d' Alene river, camping, Disneyworld, friends, praying, flowers, her greenhouse, her water fountain, her grandchildren, tootsie rolls, root beer floats, fireworks, road trips, sewing, feeling the spirit, listening, kitkats, visiting, reading the scriptures, gloria Vanderbilt body powder, horses, American Idol, Christmas crepes, bubble baths, the temple, and so much more....she loves life and it shows.

My son Taylor said of her last night when we left "She's the closest thing we have to Heaven"
Taylor you are so perceptive. She is! We were given a miracle to whitness. She is that miracle.

Driving on the way home last night in the car Isaac said "it was very calm there today". He is 5. Again very perceptive.

When we were done singing Families Can Be Together Forever the other night she said "I believe thats possible".

Well I believe thats possible to. That is the one thing thats gives me the most comfort in all this is knowing without a doubt we are part of a bigger plan.
