Forget me nots- Pres Uchtdorf

Saturday night was the General Relief Society meeting. I went up set up the video, tables and chairs, then came home.
After it was over I saw on facebook several comments on how great Pres Uchtdorf's talk was.
The next day at church it was metioned in scattered conversations and by noon the Internet (facebook and Piniterest) were flooded with "forget me not" items and comments.
We set a recording of the session last night so Nat and I could watch it. But this morning at work I looked on LDS.org and found the video of the session.
I have to admit that Pres Uchtdorfs talk was great and not just for sisters.
Now I do not think a poster by my desk of a small blue flower will work but who knows I will probably try it anyway...love conference time of year.

Pre Conference Prep

Today I get to go up and set up the satellite for the women's conference tonight. (As well as tables and 48 chairs in U shape, only the sisters do that sort of  set up.)
This starts the semi annual prep week for conference and I am grateful to have the time.
Conference has become more important and meaningful over the years, guess I am getting older.
It also helps that Nat has been asked to talk in Church tomorrow on the importance of following the Prophets and conference.
Next Sat the kids will come out for Brunch and it will be fun.
I am so grateful for my family and the time we spend together.
I am grateful the the chance I get to set up for conference not only for Women's conference and Priesthood session but also for the times I have been able to help test out new ways of viewing. (This time we will be testing the Roku system)

Adoption Rocks!

A day does not go by that I am not grateful for adoption and how it has completed our family.

Today I came across two things I did not know.

1. Hugh Jackman (the singing super hero) has had his life touched by adoption.
Check out the link here:
Hugh Jackman reveals how adoption healed his pain of not having kids naturally

2. One of our friends from our days serving on the National Board for Families Supporting Adoption had created her first video.
Check it out here: http://youtu.be/y3UTh40q8KM

I am so grateful for the wonderful birth mother and her family who allowed Nat and I to get Boo.
I have said it before and I will shout it from the rooftops when I can

ADOPTION ROCKS!

14 and 3

Today is a great day. It is our Famiversary.

14 years ago Nat and I were married in the Salt Lake Temple. 3 years ago on this date Boo and Nat and I were sealed as a family in the Salt Lake Temple.

I love my family. As I have spoken about my kids, wife and grand kids here before that should not come as a surprise.

The best thing in my life is my family and for that I am grateful
