HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAD & WICKED!

Last Tuesday was my son-in-law Brad's birthday. We celebrated by going to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Brad is a wonderful man who works very hard to support his cute little family. He is devoted to my daughter (which I am so thankful for) and to his two cute boys Carter and Easton. He is faithful to his Heavenly Father and honors his Priesthood. Brad has been a wonderful addition to our family and we are so grateful to have him! Happy Birthday Brad.

After dinner Scott, Christine, Brad, my mother and myself went to see Wicked at the Capitol Theater in Salt Lake. It was a wonderful production!!! I am so grateful to Scott for standing in line for 6 1/2 hours to get these tickets. He even went without drinking water the evening before so he wouldn't have to go to the bathroom and lose his place in line!! Thanks again Scotty!

After the play Christine got a wonderful surprise, she got to meet John Bytheway and his beautiful wife Kim. We have long admired John and we have listened to many of his talks. He was very gracious and kind. It was a wonderful added treat to our evening that had already been so wonderful!

ANOTHER PICTURE FROM BEAUTIFUL HAWAII

THANKFUL FOR MY IRISH ANCESTORS

I never knew how much Irish ancestry I had until my wonderful Aunt Carol wrote this awesome history about my Dad's ancestors. There are still 8 castles partially standing over in Ireland that belong to my ancestors. Most of them (14 of them) fought in the Revolutionary War so that I could enjoy what I have today. There is also some tie to Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill.

St. Patrick's Day never used to mean much to me until I knew my ancestry. Now I take time to think about them a little bit more during that time. I am grateful to them for being so brave and courageous to leave so much of what they had to come to America and start new. I am somewhat what I am because of them. I can't wait to thank them in person some day.

THE TWO SIDES OF WINTER

Have you ever noticed that there are two sides to winter? There is the beautiful side. The sun shining on the snow on a crisp morning. The silent snow falling in the full moon. The quietness that a snowy night brings. I love so much about winter and the fun and beauty that it brings. But there is a sad and lonely side to winter. When we were coming back from the cabin the other night we rode through the desolate camp grounds. The picnic tables where barely poking their tops through the snow. Somehow it made me sad and lonely. I realized then that winter has two sides to it.
