Where were you on 9/11/2001?

I was in my car trying to find a house a friend had for sale when I heard about the first plane on the radio. I pulled over into a parking lot to listen and had this overwhelming feeling of dread; I turned around and went home.

Kirtland Conference 2010

Last fall I had the opportunity to attend a singles conference in Kirtland Ohio, it was an amazing spiritual experience. I totally enjoyed the visitors center, the different sights and the wonderful fireside in the chaple with speaker Karl Rick Anderson, author of "Joseph Smith's Kirtand."
                                                                                  
But by far the most amazing thing was the fireside held in the Temple, as we sang "The Spirit of God" it felt like the spirits of all the saints that had gone before were in the room singing as well. It gives me chills just thinking about it now.

The hymn was sung for the dedication of the Kirtland Temple, 27 March 1836

The Spirit of God like a fire is burning;
The latter day glory begins to come forth;
The visions and blessings of old are returning;
The angels are coming to visit the earth.
We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven:
Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!
Let glory to them in the highest be given,Henceforth  and forever:amen and amen!

Stupid stuff

1. A day without sunshine is like night.
2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
6. He who laughs last; thinks slowest.
7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture most people have.
10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.
14. OK, so what's the speed of dark?
15. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?
20. Why do psychics have to ask you your name?
21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, 'What the heck happened?'
22. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.
23. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
24. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.

Sleeping Bear Dunes 2010

We went to Sleeping Bear Dunes before is was named "The Most Beautiful Place in America."  Ian, Sean and Araysa walked all the way to Lake Michigan and back, pretty impressive!  One day I hope to go back and enjoy a sunset.

Summer 2010

Each year the boys and I spend some time in Kalkaska with my mom & dad, just down the road from their trailer is Rugg Pond Dam, it's a peaceful place to sit and read or just enjoy the sounds of nature. You can also fish there if that works for you. The Rapid River mentioned here runs through my parents property.

Its been a long time

I once thought that keeping a blog was so cool and then I signed up for facebook, its sooo much easier! But as I paid a visit to my own blog and read some of what I had posted I realized it contained some memories I seem to have forgotten. So I'm back we'll see for how long :)
