Craving Disneyland It has now been more than three years since Garret and I stepped foot in the Magic Kingdom. Sad! We have some incredibly fond memories there and are always grateful for a chance to go hang out with Mickey. Anticipation! We have many great friends in our neighborhood. The Back family (yes, that’s [...]

One of my favorite quotes is: “There are years that ask questions; and years that answer them,” by Zora Neale Hurston. It goes right along with my belief that life is full of seasons, whether they last months, years, days or hours. Right now is the season for me to support those around me. When [...]

I’m amazed to think that we have been in Utah for one whole year now. I’m reminded of that old adage, “The days go by like weeks and the weeks go by like days.” I have yet to update you on the holidays in my life, but I can’t help but feel as though this [...]

Welcome to the New Year! Yes, I am a bit slow this year. And I had plans for many lovely posts during the holidays that just did not materialize. As I told my Journal this morning, “I was too busy living life to write about it.” Sorry excuse, but it will have to do. To [...]

This is the view out my front window. Beautiful. Majestic. Inspiring. Peaceful. Just what I need right now in my life. This mountain has became everything that it is today because of the harshness of it’s past. It’s not the tallest mountain, or the most beautiful, or the most rugged, or the most… anything, really. [...]

It’s getting cold here in the mountains of Utah, which means it’s time for one of my favorite things – hot and hearty breakfasts. The only problem with this being, of course, that it’s hard to make the time for a good, home-cooked breakfast so we might not have them as often as we would [...]

If the response to my last blog post is any indication, Grandparents really are special people! What a gift for me to get to read about so many wonderful, special Grandmas and what they have meant to some of you. Thanks for sharing such special memories and traditions! Today I read about another special Grandma, [...]

Pollyanna. Rose-colored glasses. Optimistic to a fault. Miss Happy. Somehow, we can be intimidated by people with a positive attitude. We tend to think they are ‘gifted’ with a positive attitude and maybe they just haven’t had any real trials in life. That their struggles are easier on them because they have optimism in their [...]

Some of you know that I’ve been working on some seasonal angel decorations for several months now (years, if you take into account that Garret cut the wood out for me a couple of Christmases ago). I really love these angels and am so anxious to get them done. Technically, they shouldn’t take but a [...]

Garret and I recently went on a drive through American Fork Canyon near our home. The scenery was amazing and we vowed a return trip during the spring. This trip, however, was a time of reflection and repose. We are often under a great deal of stress right now, and it was indeed a blessing [...]
