40....wow funny how that isn't old anymore

What a fun night, and a great way to celebrate Ian turning 40!

'Oh what a night'... 'A Professional D.J'- a friend of ours used to dj in Utah and pulled some strings and had an old associate put together a remix of a bunch of 80's music....'totally awesome!!' Oh and we found out that it isn't only the 'girls that just want to have fun...'
We danced ,sang, ate, laughed and ate some more....It was so fun to see all the different styles of the times (and how 'the banker' used to be a 'rock on') The valley girls were there by the dozens.... Wow am I glad I made it through the 80's without to many scares... (It does remind me not to rebuke my children to much for their 'creative dress' ...though I must admit they are ultra conservative) ....The scariest news is....THE 80's ARE COMING BACK..... yes you heard me right....Madonna gloves and Cindi shirts are in a store near you.....FAME I want to live forever..is even out in theaters...I guess this proves we are old when the cycle o your teenage years come back in style to haunt you ....big bangs hear I come xoxoxo
P>S I want to thank all those who were involved in the planning of this event...it will be spoken about for many years to come!

Isn't it funny how it used to seem ANCIENT.

Looks like you all had a great time.

Council of a great man........

I have just been introduced to this new world of 'blogging'..... with the intent of listening to the council of a great man...Pres. Eyring. " I wrote down a few lines every day for years. I never missed a day no matter how tired I was or how early I would have to start the next day. Before I would write, I would ponder this question: “Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?” As I kept at it, something began to happen. As I would cast my mind over the day, I would see evidence of what God had done for one of us that I had not recognized in the busy moments of the day. As that happened, and it happened often, I realized that trying to remember had allowed God to show me what He had done. " His experience has helped me to understand the importance of recording my everyday 'Miracles' however great or small, In the hopes that one day my children will grow and recognize the hand of God in their own lives
What a great opportunity for us...let the games begin..........

women who know

Words to Live By....
"Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world's goods in order to spend more time with their children- more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. "Sis. Julie B. Beck ( Conference October of 2007)
