30 YEARS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL -- Would I Do Surgery?

Well Saturday was the 30th class reunion. It's always fun to go and see how people have changed. Some age better than others! I am always amazed that the guys who were so good looking in high school are actually the ones that don't look so good now. The guys who were just okay are the better looking men now. It's a lot more fun to be with these people now though. Most everyone has relaxed enough that we can all be friends now and there is not the clicks like there used to be.

We did have two of our classmates come in late and I seriously thought, who are those teenagers crashing our party?! They look amazing! But you know money and other stuff can do that these days if you want. It seriously got me thinking, would I do surgeries and Botox if I had the money? I like looking my best. I'll be honest it's been hard to age and the thought of coming up on 50 scares me to death! But I can't help but think that being happy with who you are comes from within not what you look like on the outside. Would I really be happy if everything looked perfect? I don't think so. So I guess I will stay with my sagging boobs, my hands and face that are getting age spots and the extra lines that are across my face. I can't be dishonest and I feel like looking like something that I am not just isn't who I really am. After all, these lines on my face are well earned I think!

I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN

Never has there been three people that have tugged at my heart more. Made me laugh so hard. Made me so proud that I become obnoxious from bragging so much! Life just wouldn't be as much fun without these three!



These two truly define the word JOY! Life is so much more complete with grandchildren in your life.

WOW, I REALLY AM A GRANDMA!

Sorry, I wish I had pictures for this post but I have lost my camera and I am so sad!

Christine and Brad recently took a trip to Vancouver, Washington for one of Christine's friends wedding. Consequently we got to tend the boys for three days. Wow! I'm not as young as I used to be! It took both Scott and I to keep up with the two of them. I guess I really am a Grandma!

I wish I had pictures of the cute things they did. They kept us laughing and very busy. Scott and I would collapse each night with shear exhaustion. One night he was staying up to watch the Olympics and I reminded him that he better get to bed because they were already recharging for the next day.

I used to take care of my kids pretty good by myself. Daniel and Jason were 18 months apart and they were both in diapers for a while. With Carter and Easton we only had to change one child's diaper but it seemed like we were always changing a diaper. I remember it being much easier.

They were such good boys for us. We had a blast with them. I'm glad they love coming to Grandma's and Grandpa's house. I had Grandparent's that I loved to visit. I treasure those memories and I am constantly grateful for the impact my grandparents had on my life!

ELDER WALKER ARRIVES IN PARADISE

I got the neatest email today from Daniel's mission president. He sent these photos and told us that Daniel had arrived safely and was off and running. It was a great relief to hear that he had arrived safely and that all was well!



This is such an emotional time!!! I can't read anything from him or about him without crying. I go from being so proud to missing him so much! You think oh the time will go by fast and then you think 2 YEARS! It seems like forever! I'm glad he is well and I can't wait to hear from him.

How lucky he is to see Hawaii though! And the people over there are so loving and kind. I know this will be a great experience for him.
