"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

4th of July BBQ

My brother Nick had a BBQ and swim party at his house for the 4th and it was so much fun. We enjoyed the beautiful sunny day and ate and talked and laughed and played all day long. The kids loved playing with their cousins and I enjoyed spending time with my family. I was really grateful for a wonderful 4th of July with some new memories. I have some bad memories of past 4th of Julys but this one was great and I will never forget it, in fact I hope someday it replaces the bad memories. Josh was happy and fun to be around and really seemed to be enjoying the holiday and that meant a lot to me. Happiness in my kids and my husband means the world to me.
