Easter Sunday

Today was a beautiful Easter Sunday.  What a glorious day to remember and celebrate the atonement, crucifixion, and especially resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.

I was asked to give a talk in Sacrament meeting a church today, and that went well.  In my preparation, I reviewed this talk by President Thomas S. Monson.  What a powerful testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ

In the afternoon, we had my in-laws over for dinner and to watch our Easter egg hunt.

 

New blog and other stuff

If your interested, I've started a new blog.  It is for my projects.  I want to keep it separate from my family stuff.  On it you'll see what ever I'm currently working on.  Household, garden, craft, or self improvement projects.  My interests vary, so if you're interested, follow my new link.

I've removed the links to other family blogs, and instead I am following them. 

Also, I'll be closing this blog to the public.  If you'd like to continue to keep up with me and my family, contact me so I can allow you to see.  I'll have to look into doing that, but I'm sure I can figure it out.

Look for more changes in the future.

Colonial Cover Girl!

I was surprised this morning by find Carissa'a picture in the local newspaper. Carissa and her friends were on the front page of the community section of the paper with an article about their elementary school's 'colonial days,' where the children learned about colonial and frontier life with hands on activities led by local reenacters. What fun! Here's a link to the newspaper's slide show. The last picture was the featured picture and Carissa is on the right. (She is also in pictures 8,19,40, and 47. http://www.gulfeast.com/index.php/OAN_Slideshows/single/colonial_days1/
