Inspired

Hello friends. My daughters inspire me, that includes Keah ( when she has time to blog). I have to state that Laura is my wake-up blog because she never seems to end a day without posting a thought or three!! I am grateful that each of the girls place memories or thoughts on blog pages.

Look at that...not only did I post a photo...but I moved it where I wanted it....Hooray for me!!

I actually lost the first picture when I was editting....still haven't found it

Now they got me on this idea of blogging, but you know I always feel quite uninteresting....without much of a life....oh dear....need to erase....but on to my idea for today. Now girls remember that I have NO....I repeat NO favorites.....but Laura did inspire this blog event....here goes.

My attempt at an ABC entry....
A....attached or single??

(not sure if I'm going to copy all of her headings)

I am very attached...34 yrs and 11 mos. attached to the same guy

and four of the greatest kids alive!!

and seven adorable kidlings

B...best friend

when I was a teen I always wanted ONE BF...but I always had many friends,and never a best

Now I would say that I have many BEST friends!!!

C...cake or pie

probably pie with a dobble of vanilla ice cream

First choice Sunday...second Saturday

both are days of spiritual renewing for me...at church and the Temple

and I always seem to be on empty by Saturday

Beyond the ABC's of life , I am remarkably blessed and I usually can't figure out what I did to deserve so many wonderful blessings.

I am grateful to have the Gospel in my life.It makes everything make sense!
