"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?"

Hello!



I'm still here! Life is moving along quickly with lots of exciting things happening.  The kids went back to school this past week, Chloe started fourth grade and Cooper started kindergarten.  We had an amazing summer with lots of fun activities, experiences, outings, and even some camping!  A goal that we've been working towards for quite a while is coming to fruition and I can't wait to share it... but you'll have to be patient!
