Thought you'd think this was interesting....

So you're going to think I'm a nerd, but I read the SL Tribune and Deseret News most days, to see what I'm missing in SLC! (Maybe you two out of staters can relate). Well, I came across this article today. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705370915/CBS-TV-movie-tells-story-of-Latter-day-Saint-and-educational-advocate-Stacey-Bess.html

It's funny because I LOVE Hallmark Hall of Fames, and always watch them. (Surprise, right?) I said we had to for sure watch this one this time. Then I read this and saw what it was about. I talked to Brandon about the book before, but that's pretty cool that she did this movie. It will be interesting to see. Thought you guys might want to watch. Although you may be doing things with your families on Easter. Anyway, I would have wanted you guys to pass it on, so I thought I would. And since Miss is always in the know, I wanted to see if she knew about this. So Miss... did you? Interesting.

Speaking of Easter, do you guys have any fun traditions or cute ideas for Easter? I'd love any ideas, and I'm sure you all have something up your sleeve... so fill us in. And take pictures this Easter, to add here. It's so fun to see what is going on in your lives, and pictures tell great stories.

Love you all!

Christmas Friends

Wasn't this such a fun day? We always think we're just going to be together for an hour or so... and then 4 hours later, we're still all together, the husbands joining in to finish up lunch, and can't stop chatting! I loved just sitting around the table, talking, catching up, and laughing! I will always remember Danielle announcing the big news, she was gitty... I was SO surprised. What a fun day! We always seem to pick up right where we left off. But I wish our breaks weren't so far and few between. Such a fun day!

What a fun Winter Festival it was this year! I wish I had my camera handy to get a picture of Dumbledorf (hope that's how you spell it. I am not up with my Harry Potter) and the awesome fire! I think this may have been my favorite so far. Although, how do you compare... they're all so fun and different. They're all ingrained in my memory. Thanks Stu! :) But it was so fun to just talk around the table all night! Thanks Miss, for hosting us twice... at your house and at Winter Fest!

It's A Wonderful LIfe

Can't believe it's already this time of year again!? Time really does fly. I'm so glad Danielle shared this talent with us, and we were able to see her living her dream so much through the years. I don't think any of us missed a year seeing Thriller and It's a Wonderful Life when Danielle was in it! What a fun tradition. I'm sure they're missing you this year too Danielle.

And don't you just love the title of this show? It really is true. It's such a wonderful life. Even though we each may have different struggles and things going on in life, it really is a wonderful life! We are so blessed!

I am so Thankful for each of you!

Always, but especially this time of year, I am so thankful for each of you. We are so blessed to have such good, strong friendships, even though we may not talk everyday. I feel so blessed. Thank you for being such good examples to me in your everday lives. I miss you, and am so very thankful for the closeness we share.

Miss, as she's persued her dream of obtaining her Master's degree, and is now teaching! She also may be the most thoughtful person I know...she never seems to miss a beat! Danielle, is the most genuine person I have ever known. She would drop anything in a heartbeat to help you. Rachel is always up for a laugh and may be the most sweet and tender of us all! Whit never seems to forget anything, from a birthday, to a thank you, she always remembers what is going on your life! Allie is definately the most whitty. She always has a story up her sleeve to tell you, and make you giggle your worries away. Laura is the first little mommy of the bunch, and is always up for an adventure. I am grateful for each of you today, and always. Hope you're enjoying your day!
