(I am sorry that I have so many posts in a row today. I think this is number 4.) : ) But, I have not been good about keeping my journaling up. SO, I must write this down while I am thinking about it.
I went to the adult meeting for our stake on Saturday night and it was awesome. The speakers were all very good and all of the talks centered on the temple and the home and love. It was very inspiring. They talked about some things that I don't remember having heard before. One of them quoted a past prophet (sorry, I don't remember who) saying that the home is sacred and takes second place only to the temple. Going on to say that your home should function just like the temple. Your children should hear good, inspiring music in the home, just as we do in the temple. And that if they if they are lost or confused there should always be someone there to guide them, just like we have in the temple! It was such a good meeting and I truly appreciated that the speakers were in tune with the spirit. It was what I know I needed to hear. Bro. Anderson, one of the speakers, said that there was never a reason to raise your voice to anyone, especially in anger. I am so very guilty of this. I am a yeller. I hate that I am, and I am trying to get over this huge flaw!! I truly want my home to feel peaceful and happy. It does in a small sense, I want it to be more powerful. I know all of the work that it takes to make a home this way and I intend on making our home our own little temple!! I am so very grateful for my husband and children. They are the biggest and best blessings in my life. They bring me more joy and happiness than I could ever have imagined!! I am also grateful for all of my family. My Mom and Dad are the best examples to our family. My brother and sisters and all of the in-laws are also amazing! All of them are so gracious and helpful, ready and wiling to serve each other wherever, and whenever. I have the best family anyone could ask for. And my extended family. I have wonderful aunts, uncles, and cousins who are an inspiration! Thank you all for being part of my life! The best part! I love you all!

I love reading these kind of posts, thanks so much for sharing...from one of your wonderful Aunts!!! LOL!
It was a really good conference. I always enjoy it once I'm there and even realize that all the excuses that would keep me away would deprive me of hearing what I need to hear. Bro. Anderson was a great speaker, and managed to keep it all real. One of the best conferences I've heard in a while. Glad you enjoyed it too. Now we just have to remember it all.
Emmy & Lauren are such cute little girls! Are they your sister's kids?
Sounds like you've had a lot of fun acitivites going on lately!
And I'm glad you enjoyed your Stake Conference. It's always nice to feel that you've actually gotten something from it and that you have something to truly strive towards. I too need to work on not yelling so much. Sometimes it's so hard....Kids are such a wonderful blessing, but not always easy to deal with!!!
