Our Prophet Dear...on to eternal perfection!

-------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------
Like so many others, my thoughts have been
reflective of the life and teachings of our dearly
beloved prophet, Presiden Gordon B. Hinckley!
Oh how I revere and love this great Man whose teachings, as the Lords Chosen Servant ,have truly blessed my life over the past 12 years. I feel like he was my guiding star, teaching, lifting and inspiring me to "do a little better, to carry on, to cherish womanhood and find nobility in motherhood, and to BE all that the Lord needed me to be! Like so many others I will miss terribly our dear Prophet and yet how can we feel sorrow when we know that he truly is home and in the presence of the Lord and his sweet Marjorie and family!
I know as each of us live the principles he taught and strive to remember his words, that his legacy of optimism, faith and charity will live on in the lives and actions of faithful members of this great church. Truly to do and become is now our challenge for our dear Prophet and friend is now with the great prophets of old...Abraham, Issac and Jacob and of course Brother Joseph whose precious Nauvoo temple he helped to re-construct in all its beauty. What a reunion that will be! I can hear them say to us now..."Courage brethren and on....on to victory!"
Thanks be to God for living prophets and the organization of the 12 Apostles for we know that all will not be lost, but the kingdom will continue to roll forward as another is chosen to step forward and lead under him, whose church this is, even our Savior, Jesus Christ!
We are so thankful for our prophet who has guided us in these latter-days.... God be with you till we meet again!

Bread Day

Image
As you can see by my countdown I don't have much time left until I will have a sweet little baby in my arms. I am so excited to meet this precious little one, boy or girl. I have been feeling like it will be a girl, and Brian is pretty confident it is a boy.....to say the least we are a house divided! All the girls voting GIRL and all the boys voting BOY ! All my other babies were born at either 38 or 39 weeks so it could be anytime really. So.... today I decided to be ambitious and have a bread day . A friend of mine shared a new bread recipe with me and as most of you know I LOVE MAKING HOMEMADE BREAD, no store bought bread in this country house! And so today I decided to make a big batch to hopefully last until I have this baby. My friend even shared a secret on how to make BAGELS. Mmmmmm, they are so delicious. I think my favorite part about making bread is watching my kids come home from school on bread day and hearing....."Mommy it smells so good," "You made ...

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray...
