Glacier National Park

Umm...
Okay.  Seriously, if you never take a vacation in your life and you have to pick one place to go to, go to Glacier Naional Park! 
You will not be disappointed.
Cannot emphasize enough how important it is for every human being to see this place before they die.
Take the Road to the Sun.
Be amazed at the beauty of this Earth.
It's breathtaking.
I'm almost 37 years old and cannot believe I have waited this long to see this place.

The Field is White ...






 

My sister Amy's ward in Dallas took their youth to a wheat field to capture each one as a future missionary along the lines of the famous scripture verses found in the Doctrine & Covenants, Section 4:

Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the chidren of men.
 
Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.
 
Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;
 
For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
 
And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the gory of God, qualify him for the work.
 
Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence.
 
Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.  Amen.

So, yes, I wanted to do the same idea with my future missionaries in hopes that they, too, will "embark in the service of God" when the time comes.

Matt & Molly

My preshy nephew, Matthew, married the most darling girl on Planet Earth, Molly, on Friday.  I flew down for the wedding weekend and I'm so glad I did.  What a treat.  I love these two kids and am so happy for them.

Happy Girl, Big Hair

We pulled out Christiana's braids the other day and her hair was so glorious, I had to photograph it!  She doesn't want to leave it down so I always end up putting it back up in pigtails or whatever.  But just for a brief moment, she had flowing, soft, curly hair.
 
 





And I love her little personality, too.  She makes me laugh so much.  She's always smiling and happy.  Please stay that way, Little Miss-Miss.
