"A house does not have to be perfect to be a home of joy, a child does not have to behave perfectly to love and be loved, and every moment of life does not have to be perfect to be of value. Too often, I realize, we fail to see the glorious reality of the simple joy that abounds in the seemingly mundane routine of day-to-day living. Instead, we tend to idolize the past, idealize the future, and devalue the present.... What better way to show our appreciation to Heavenly Father for what we have than to embrace our lives, albeit 'ordinary' and 'unexciting,' with joy?"

Idaho

We're back from Idaho... rolled in at about 7pm last night. We had a great time, celebrating the Fourth of July. We sat on Main Street and watched the parade:



We checked out the local sites, like the Woolly Mammoth:





And had lots of fun while surrounded by the beauty all around:
