Ouch!


I looked at the date!
OUCH!
Where did I go?
This blog is to record my life and the lessons I'm learning along the way!
Life has never been so full.
Life has never offered me so many lessons.

LIFE:
with a few lessons . . .

We moved from our beloved home in Vancouver to our new home at the Ridge of the Maples
I refuse to compare . . .it is like comparing children . . .it should never be done . . .
I loved it there I love it here . . .

It snowed the day we moved in, I love living in the country . . .
When there is a deer crossing sign 50 meters from your house . . .it is the country.

Christmas was quiet and lovely . . .
I like it that way . . .

I finished writing the music for the temple celebration. . .
20 songs and arrangements . . .
that's step one, there are 47 more steps before the music is actually finished and ready.
When I grow up I want to be a sound engineer, until then, I am dog paddling in the deep end.

I now have an island in my kitchen, I love islands.
I even like the name island, it makes me think of tropical paradise, right here in my kitchen.

Jordan and Emily filled with enthusiasm and anxiety started their new school. . .
Being the new kid has its perks. Emily decided after day one it must be
similar to being a celebrity rock star
.

My temple team of musketeers (10 in total) have traveled to
Vancouver, Bellingham, Abbotsford, Surrey, Victoria and Nanaimo stakes
giving firesides and auditioning youth for the Temple Youth Celebration . . .
Tomorrow we head to Vernon next weekend we fly to Prince George.
When the exhaustion sets in we laugh. Then we laugh some more. Sometimes we cry.

Jordan played his first competitive basketball game for his school team the other day. . .
My boy is a natural, a five foot eight inch natural.

Emily got a new baby kitten . . .
Sometimes you say yes to things.

Lucy went on an adventure, it cost $100 bucks to retrieve her from her adventure.
We need a fence . . .

With Daddy's new commute schedule he set up our computers so
we can do family scripture study via video phone. . .
If it wasn't for the fine words of Nephi and his comrades
I would of shut this being on camera in the early a.m. a long time ago!

  2. You don't know me. My name is Kelly and I live in SLC, UT. I found your blog through my good friend Jenn Rogers. I was noticing that you are in the midst of a temple celebration. We just got done with ours in May and it was the most incredible spiritual experience! A ton of work, but so worth it! Have fun and savor the moment.

    What a wonderful attitude! That's how I feel when people ask me if I like the US better or Canada better. They both have so many wonderful things about them... how do I pick?

    I'm so excited to start reading your blog. Thanks for sharing!

  5. That was a great catch up game. Out in the country? I am so jealous!! That sounds like so much fun and what a true adventure. You are one busy lady. I don't know how in the world you can crawl out of that bed so early in the morning and feel happy. You amaze me!

  6. I know you are a super busy lady, but I have a simple question... Anneli is going to be moving to Provo, and I wanted to teach her little girls to play the violin.

    Do you know of any great music theory books? I figured you would be the person to know since your little girl is in violin lessons. Thanks a bunch!
