This is a blog created to record our family's roller coaster ride of a life. In this blog you will read about everyday life with us. You will learn that Lilly loves cheer and Trev is ALL BOY! We are quite the busy family. Besides Lilly's cheer practice that goes on 4 times a week (3 hours each day) we also take Master T to 2 soccer practices a week & one soccer game each weekend. How do we find time to throw the parties & get togethers that we have each month, or do homework, or clean the house, or grocery shop, or just spend time together, you may ask. Skill, people. It is a balancing act.

My Tribute to Gordon B. Hinkley


I was sitting here with my daughter thinking about strong, powerful, and amazing people. One man came to mind-Gordon B. Hinkley. I truly think he was a very special man. A very nice man. A very caring man. A man who not only dedicated so much of himself to the people in the church he presided over but to the people all over the world.
When I looked at Gordon B. Hinkley, I got a feeling a comfort and I had a great amount of respect for him.
Neal and I had the greatest privilege of seeing President Hinkley when we visited SC (I think it was Greenville, not sure). I went because I new it was going to be a once in a life time chance to see him. And I loved him so much, I just had to go. I remember seeing him and his wife and they just looked so sweet and kind. Gordon B. Hinkley was a true to character individual. What he said, he lived by. He was not a judgemental man. I can't imagine one ugly, mean, or hurtful word ever coming out of his mouth. He truly lived, as best as he could, humble in the image of Christ. What a wonderful man and example he was and still is to me. There will always be one special place saved in my heart just for him.
