Homemade pizza night! Nick doesn't like many kinds of pizza so when I announced I was making homemade pizzas, he was so happy! You see that half with nothing on it but sauce? That is Nick's side. That's all he likes...sauce! Crazy kid!!

Tonight was our ward's Pinewood Derby. Simon and Nick worked for a few hours to recreate Simon's winning car from when he was in scouts. Unfortunately, Nick's car wasn't in first place but he did make top 10. Way to go Nick!

My bedspread has been coming apart lately and desperately needing a wash. I'm afraid that when I wash it, it will just fall apart. I was at Jordan Landing today and went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond. They had this beautiful set and I had a 20% off coupon so I just couldn't resist. It came with 12 pieces including the throw pillows and a coverlet for the summer. I am so excited to have something new and so pretty in my room.

I have been having a really hard time lately. There is just so much on my plate and so many people in my life right now that are hurting, I'm having a hard time dealing with it all. I had 2 different friends post this to my Facebook wall and it really made me think about myself and how close the Lord really is. It also gave me a new perspective on my life. Thanks Ames and James!

My friends and I got up at the crack of dawn. Oh wait, it was about 2 hours BEFORE the "crack of dawn"! We met at 4:30 am and ran 10 miles. This was my first 10 miler ever. I am happy to say that I did survive and I had over 19K steps by 8:30 am! No matter what else happened this day, I accomplished more than most days by 7:00 am!!

What a beautiful morning to spend a couple of hours in the temple surrounded by wonderful women that I look up to and love dearly. The Spirit is always strong in the temple but knowing I was there with ladies that support me and that are striving for the same things I am brought a whole new meaning and even deeper Spirit to this session. I am so thankful that the Relief Society organized this and can't wait until the next time we go!

Jenni & BJ went to Virginia. Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Jim went to Oregon. Do I feel abandoned? Nope! I didn't have time to have those feelings because I was responsible for 8 little tiny precious lives for about 48 hours. We had loads of fun with the McCullough kids for the short time we had them!
