It was a great day!

I had to get out of the house and do something. I was going to go to a movie but I didn't find one that I wanted to see. So I got a sandwich at subways and listened to my i-Pod while people watching at the mall. Then I headed to the Vintage stores that I love so much. I found these chairs at Treasures Antiques in Springville. I sent a picture of one to Britni to see if she would want them. Of course, I was paying happily. She said yes, so I got all four for $48! I think it's a great deal. We will paint them and cover the seats with super cute fabric! It will be a fun project! Britni was excited. We just need to find a cheap table, that will be easy and fun!
I was down at our mailboxes and was overwhelmed by the breathtaking beauty of the valley! I just had to take some pictures! We had had snow last weekend and yesterday was gorgeous! We have some more crocus's in our garden. They make me happy! I planted a few purple pansies which I plant almost every single year and some spinach for the first time ever. It felt great to do some yard work on such a beautiful day!

Strawberry freezer jam!

I'm not the best homemaker but I did learn how to make strawberry freezer jam, many years ago. I saw those big, juicy strawberries at the store and the price was alright so I bought the stuff I needed and yesterday I made two batches! I'd like to make more so it can last throughout the year. I figured that it cost me $1.49 each bottle, including everything (although, I had tons of sugar so I didn't figure the price for that). I didn't have any jars so I bought some. I'm sure someone could have made it for much cheaper but I'm pleased that I made twelve jars! Yummy!

General Conference.

One of my most favorite talks was Elder Jeffrey R. Hollands talk Sunday Morning. It was a beautiful, detailed talk about Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for us.

I need Britni to show me how I can put a picture of him or the video itself on here.

Thank you, Kirby Heyborne.

We went to Salt Lake City on Thursday night. Jeff met us up there and we had dinner together. On our way to find a place to eat we saw Kirby Heyborne in the distance talking with a fan. We went into the Joseph Smith Memorial building on our way to see if we wanted to eat in there. We went into the massive lobby and we saw Kirby Heyborne meet his family (we do assume it was his family). So Jeff and I turned around because we didn't want to bother him. But, Christopher wanted to meet him and he isn't shy. So when we went back to see Chris he was talking with Kirby. Then Kirby's wife was taking a picture of them with Chris's phone. So I snapped a picture too. But, Kirby said, "were you all looking at that camera, let's take another and look at your mom." So, he graciously took another picture and this is the one. He shook our hands and asked us our names. Chris had told him that he just came home from a mission and Kirby was so excited about that. He was very cute and very nice.
We have the RM, The Singles Ward, The Best Two Years and Saints and Soldiers. My favorite is Saints and Soldiers. My favorite LDS genre movie is The Best Two Years. I told him we probably paid for one of his shoes. He laughed.
Britni saw him at the Thrillionaires and said he was very funny. He also is a singer and has some Cd's and he puts on concerts. We texted Britni to tell her who we saw. She was very jealous!
I like him even more now. He was a doll!

Trip to Salt Lake City.

We went to Salt Lake City yesterday. It was not too cold but a beautiful early spring day.

We went to the visitor center and watched the movie "The Testament". It is such a beautiful touching movie. I cry every time.


Here is something that President Gordon B. Hinckley wrote:

My Redeemer Lives

I know that my Redeemer lives,
Triumphant Savior, son of God,
Victorious over pain and death,
My King, my Leader, and my Lord.

He lives, my one sure rock of faith,
The one bright hope of men on earth,
The beacon to a better way,
The light beyond the veil of death.

Oh, give me thy sweet Spirit still,
The peace that comes alone from thee,
The faith to walk the lonely road
That leads to thine eternity.

Thank you, everyone.

Christopher the returned missionary.
He was touched by how much family came to welcome him. One of our hometeachers came too. He was touched by that and by the love he has already felt from people around him. I am also touched by the love that has been shown to all of us. Thank you.

Welcome Home!

Welcome Home! We love you!
