Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

We have had a busy, stressful, fun, emotional week. Ben recently interview for a job in Pennsylvania and we haven't heard if he is hired. It has been an emotional rollercoaster to me. In the past week I have spent more time in meditation and prayer than ever before. I have faith that we will do the right thing and the Lord will help me and my little family be happy...that is what the gospel is all about isn't it! So that is the stressful, emotional part of the week and then comes the fun. IT IS FINALLY FEELING LIKE SUMMER!!! We are literally soaking up the sun! For the past 2 days we have put our sunblock on and started outside. We have pulled weeds, worked in our garden (which is like 4 ft by 2 ft) and ran through the sprinkler. It is funny how something so small like the smell of fresh air or the site of water can renew my spirits and make the grey skies blue again.


Some more fun that has happened is today I had a Scentsy party (http://www.scentsy.com/amberwilliams) it was so much fun! Thank you to all of you who came. It was fun to mingle and eat lots of chocolate!! If anyone still wants to order, my party doesn't close until Tuesaday. Thanks Amber for being such a great consultant!!


Here are some pictures of us outside:

Fun! I tried the sprinkler thing and it lasted 3 minutes top. Hmmm... Can I borrow your sprinkler? :)

The party was fun & thanks for the invite...I can't wait to see how they work! And as for the move...I really hope you guys don't have to move...but if you do know that it will be a good thing no matter how hard it might seem. Sometimes it's really great to move away and learn to depend on eachother so much. I loved moving all over the country and meeting so many fun people....you're a great little family & I know you will make it through this trial...because you are including the Lord in it and he will always be there for you! :)

Those pictures are so cute! I love them. I'm pretty sure that the card swap will be on Saturday. I set the time at 11:30, but if that time isn't good for you, let me know.
