Disneyland!!!

We are loving this week in the happiest place on earth...more to be posted when we get home Saturday

Just Plain Happy!!!

Today as I was driving to work in the snow and trying to think on what to write here I came up with quite a few topics. But as I reviewed my families blogs just now, I have to say that I am just grateful to be so happy. I like my job. We have great friends! I love my Church Calling! I adore all my family. Maggie is growing so fast and her personality is coming in so strong. I am excited to be a grandpa in a few months, (well guess it is really a few weeks), I am excited to go to Disneyland in the morning.

Yesterday I had a busy day with the temple dedication. Part of my calling on the high council was to make sure everything went off well in our 2 buildings that have satellite service. Due to the efforts of a lot of great people each doing their part the service was wonderful.

Life is just normal but that means that Life is good!

DVR (again)

Monday night is family night with the TV it seems. This is the new must watch night for us. Since I was flying I missed the shows. I knew we recorded them at home but they have been known to be erased before I get to watch them. (OK it happened once but i forgive you Randall)
So it was great when I got home late Tues and found that I could not sleep due to sleeping on the plane, to be able to watch the shows, fast forward through ads and enjoy the humor of "Big Bang and How I met your mother.
I still have to catch up on Heroes and 24 but they are safely recorded until I get to them.

Guess Prayers need to be Specific

I know I haven't posted for awhile but alot has been going on. First off I am in El Paso. Yesterday I was to catch an early flight to Houston then into El Paso by 2. Take care of some things then head across the border Tues morning to see the people there then catch a flight back home at 4 through Houston again.
Well... I got notice that my flight from Houston into El Paso was canceled. They rerouted me through Atlanta leaving at 11:30 into El Paso at 8.

Well the flight left late so I got to Atlanta late but the El Paso flight was delayed. I got to El Paso at 10pm only to find that I had no rental car, they were all out. So I walked to the hotel planning to go back this morning and get a car. At the hotel I at least had my room saved on the concierge floor (#5) but my key card didn't work so I had to get another.
this morning I got a car at 9, went and took care of the items I needed to in El Paso and now just have to wait till I go to the airport to head home. I decided that I do not have enough time to go across the boarder and make it back. ( Not too broke up about it.)

I prayed for a safe journey not just the details I guess

Being Busy

I haven't posted for awhile again, it is not that I am not grateful but busy. That in it self is something to be grateful for.
Between work, Church and Family my hours are well spent. The past few days Natalie has had bridal pictures to edit and process for a wedding that happens this week so I come home from work and get the chance to take care of Maggie, What a great joy it is to see the world through her eyes.

Simple reminders

A couple of weeks ago in Church during the prayer we noticed Maggie fold her arms and look around. We haven’t pressed her to fold her arms but she picked it up fast.
How great is it that something as simple as that helps remind us to show reverence?
For these simple tender mercy’s I am grateful

Reasons for getting up in the morning

My entire reason for getting up and going to work each day is my family.

Natalie told me the other day a very sweet thing. (well as sweet as we get I guess) It was Valentines day and she told me "In the words of Kelly Clarkson...my life would suck without you"

How sweet is that!!!

Oh yea and these guys too! (Smile and wink wink)
