"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."Gordon B. Hinckley, 2006

today, right here, right now

I have so many things that are on my mind right now. So many hopes and worries.


I hope that Amanda gets a job soon.
I hope that she is doing okay out in CA.
I hope that she knows how much she is loved and missed.
I hope that she is happy.
I worry that its darn hard to get a job right now.
I worry that if she needed something she wouldn't ask.
I worry about how she put gas in her car.

I hope that Wyatt get into the U of M.
I hope that they hear soon as to where they will be going to school
I worry that that will be moving far from home.

I hope that Brittney is healing emotionally and physically and will be prego soon.
I hope that she knows what a awesome mother she truly is.
I hope she know that I am so proud of the way they are raising Brecken.

I hope that Kole knows how proud I am that he is making efforts to improve his life.
I hope he knows how proud I am of him for going to school.
I hope he knows how much I love him unconditionally.
I worry about how much life experiences it will take for him to go to rehab.
I worry that he makes it home safe at night and then I worry again when he leaves the house.

I hope Broc knows how proud I am of him for going to early morning seminary and never complaining.
I hope Broc knows how much I love our relationship. He isn't afraid to let me know I am loved and still hugs me and sits with me.

I hope Destany knows that I am loving the person that she is becoming.
I hope that she stays strong and values her worth.
I hope that she chooses to keep good friends around her and that she herself is a good friend.

Those are just some of my thought right here, right now.
