I' am so sorry, It has been a busy few weeks. My little seedlings are looking great. I have about 5 weeks until I plant the garden and I am afreaid the seedlings will have taken over my house by then. Already they are taking up my dining room table and a spare table in the kitchen. I love to watch them grow and this year we will have the biggest garden we have ever done. I might be missing my backyard this summer but all the fresh veggies will be a wonderful substitute. We will still have room for the pool and trampoline as well as room for running around and bbq'ing.

I am post endometrial ablation and now just waiting to see how I will respond. I am hoping better. I am tired of my body ruling my schedule and activities.
Big Matt will be using a c-pap machine and I am hoping I can ditch the ear plugs. He really is looking forward to getting better rest at night and not feeling so tired during the day. I am sure it will make a big difference for him. He has severe sleep apnea and it is a miracle he has functioned as well as he has with it,
Little Matthew is a riot. He is such a sweetheart. He is always pampering me somehow. I am sure he has learned that from his Dad. I was telling Big Matt that little Matthew is well on his way to becoming an awesome husband and father. He is now back to baseball. and getting ready for the 09 season. He has been working hard and really loves his team. They have played together for several years now and we love getting together with them. The coach and his wife are so wonderful. He knows so much about baseball and she is a huge supporter of him and all the boys on the team.

General Conference this weekend was amazing. It is so wonderful to be taught from the prophet and apostles of Jesus Christ. Thay are our direct connection to the things we need to know now. I wish I had a copy of their talks in my hands right now. There were so many things said that have such powerful teachings. Every person who spoke was inspired and really hit on vital things for our times. Each talk was impressive in that the spirit testified of the truth spoken and the urgency in which we need to follow or improve the way we live the counsel of our church leaders. I am so thankful for the internet and the technology we have to access this critical information. I was especially touched by the talks that covered pressing forward and enduring to the end. I am sure that has to do with the struggles I have personally faced these last months. I realize I need to work harder to smile in times of tribulation and remember that the trials I face are for my benefit not for my destruction. I also need to keep in mind that the things I go through are not like the woman who lost here entire family and had to bury her children with a teaspoon or her bare hands in frozen earth. I believe that was Elder Richard G. Scott who spoke of her. I am truly blessed and have much to be thankful for and much to smile about. I also really like what Elder David A. Bednar said about focusing on temple work and how we can make our time at the temple more meanigful. I may have to re-think some of my temple goals. I feel spiritually invigorated and ready to try harder and make some much needed improvements in my life. I truly have testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and that he is my Savior and Redeemer. I also have a testimony that President Thomas S. Monson is a prophet of our Lord. It fills my heart with joy and gratitude to have this testimony.


My camera has been on the fritz, thus no pictures lately but as I review my blog I realize they are an important part of my life and it doesn't seem right to go so long without any so I thought I would throw in a few of my favorite flower pictures that I have taken over the years. As you will see I love flowers. I hope you enjoy them and are having a wonderful spring.
