When its cold and rainy..

I just want to crawl under the covers... but I had to work this morning. Haylee is coming over and we are going to take a nap (YEAH) .This weekend we were all so busy, up late and then up early. We still didn't get everything done that we wanted. We wanted to take Haylee and Calan's picture together. Rachel bought them cute matching outfits, bummer they didn't get to wear them together. Hopefully Brett and Brittany and Calan baby will come back down soon. We miss them. WE sure need the rain. Yesterday I saw bluebonnets. I love them the freeways look so beautiful when they are in bloom. I hope everyone enjoys them.

Family Time

It has been great this weekend. Brett and Brittany and Calan Baby came in on Thursday, Mary and Uncle Gary came in on Fri. So much fun. On Saturday we drove to Tyler for Debra and Caleb's wedding. It was very nice. It is always fun to see the family. We meet Darrell's new friend. She is very nice, you know when we all get together is a free for all. Laughing and joking, she took it all in stride. We had a good time... we realized that in the 10 hours on Sat we spent 6 in the car. It was a long drive but worth it. On Sunday I had Stake Meetings so I didn't get to spend much time with everyone but the time was great and tooo short. Brett and Brittany don't leave til Tuesday night... Yeah..grandma gets to spoil just a little longer.

Waiting for The TV guy

Rachel is getting cable in her apartment and I'm just waiting for the guy to come and turn it on for her. Fortunately she does has some movies, so I'm watching 27 dresses..it's a cute movie. Then I have to go to work. Tonight I'm working with Ramp Transfer...hopefully it won't be to boring tonight. I hope they get here before I need to leave. Haylee wanted to come with Grandma, and wait for the TV guy, but she went to school instead.

Stake Conference

Stake Conference was very good this weekend. I really felt uplifted. Debi King spoke on Saturday night, she did an amazing job. I really enjoyed her talk. I'm so thankful that we went to Saturday night conference and then again on Sunday. Saturday night we watched a talk given in General Conference by James Corbridge somethings we reminded us of...There is opposition in all things. Come unto the Lord all who are heavy laden...He is there to carry our burdens. The Lord's way is not hard..life is hard. Get on the path and never give up OR get off. Sometimes we all need to be reminded that the Lord is there for us.
On Sunday one of the speakers said Listen and give heed to the Lord's spirit. Focus on Spiritual things (rather than worldly). Listen and follow our leaders. If we are prepared we will not fear.
Predident Uchtdorf said Have a current Temple recommend even if you can't go often.
Study the word of God daily.
Pray Daily=Speak to Heavenly Father
Quotes from other Presidents of the Church
Ezra Taft Benson-Nothing can take the place of prayer
Howard W hunter -Set our houses in order with prayer
Thomas S Monson- Never been a time when there is a greater need to teach family prayer.

I find it interesting that so much importance is going back to basics. Listen to the Holy Ghost, relaying on the Lord. Going to him in prayer. I'm grateful for these gentle reminders.
