On a macabre note, I'm glad they found him before they closed for the summer. It would have been much more nasty had they found him in the fall.

My Moment of Self-Reflection - Blog Entry

Hey Miriam,

Congratulations on the new baby! I'm sure that brings a lot of joy into your life, but hey, let's face it, those new mommy hormones can make trials even harder to cope with. I honestly didn't think I was going to survive for the first month after my last one was born. Everything was going wrong and I was ready to throw in the towel.

I found a quote that really helped me out, and I'm paraphrasing this because I can't find it right now. I think it was Brigham Young (but I could be making that up too :) It said: "Every trial you experience is necessary for your salvation." The talk that was quoted in then went on to say that each of us have things we're working on and things we need to overcome, and each of our challenges are specifically geared toward helping us develop what we need. If we don't have that challenge, we won't learn what we need to go back to our Heavenly Father. Everything has a purpose in our lives and when we endure it well, we're a step closer to being where we need to be.

I hope that helps -- I remind myself of that a lot when life gets to be too overwhelming. Hang in there -- you're an awesome lady!!

You are so right! And even when you are both fully committed to the Gospel, that will still mean different things to each of you. It's a tricky thing to work out, that's for sure, but I loved how you commented that the Lord will help us get it all worked out. He set up families for us to love and enjoy, and He will help us figure out how to make compromises and how to talk to each other so we can find peace in our relationships and joy in our families.

Yeah, I do know!! When he does that one thing, which was after Mr. Miyagi did that other thing -- that was way cool too. :)

How Many Children Will You Have? - Blog Entry

17 May 2007 11:14 AM

When we first got married, I wanted to have about eight children. After we had our first, I decided six would be just fine. Now we've got four, and I've about decided five is an excellent number. :) Who knows how many we'll actually end up with, but being on the same page as your partner is a must, regardless of what the final count actually is.

I rented this movie just last night and really enjoyed it. It was a lot funnier than I expected and I plan to add it to our family collection.

Oh, man, I so hear you about Billy Ray. If that man is not given the ol' boot tonight, we're not going to have a real competition. The other four couples really deserve to be there and should have the chance to battle it out without having to trip over Billy Ray to get it done.

That thing with him and Bruno last night was something else -- Bruno shouldn't have called Billy Ray's dancing "crap," but Billy Ray needs to let it go and move on.
