And Our Missionary is Off

It's been a couple of weeks since I reported on the family comings and goings.  We have been busy!  We closed The Bully Plays.  It was a class project.  It was super fun for me have Lilli in this class.  You can read more about how this production went here.   Lili has been in… Continue reading And Our Missionary is Off

#bethelight – Day 87

This morning I was drinking a glass of water and I started thinking about how lucky we are to have clean water - even filtered water - right in the comfort of our homes.  I thought about when I was a kid and water came to my house in a truck and my parents would… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 87

#bethelight – Day 86

Today for my act of kindness I went to Kimber's house and washed her dishes after I had a full day of school, an orthodontic appointment for Lilli, rehearsal, and a small little job of getting some lights for an assembly tomorrow.  I'm ready for bed.

A Warrior Sees the Positive Side of Life

A Warrior sees the positive side of life. "See the positive side, the potential, and make an effort." - Dalai Lama I have been working on staying positive for ten months or more - off and on for years really.  Even if all this effort I find that on some days I need to fight… Continue reading A Warrior Sees the Positive Side of Life

Family Friday

In Honor of Grandma

For Family Friday this week I choose to remember my grandma, Clara Lee White.  She died on Friday, a couple weeks shy of her 92 birthday.  She was the youngest child of Joseph Sharp Packer and Jesse Anderson.

#bethelight – Day 83

Wow!  What a long day... work... more work... helping Hannah get ready for a mission.  She leaves tomorrow morning, bright and early.  I just didn't get time to blog. Today for my act of kindness I made dinner.  Really.  I was so tired.  I didn't feel like making dinner, but I did.  Not only that,… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 83

The Bully Plays
