Some Day...
 {Co lining cars up and building a "temple" before bed}

Some day...
My innocent two year old little pal is going to be a teenager.
The thought scares me to death. This thought alone makes me strive to be a better, more knowledgeable parent. I've been thinking about my children's future a lot lately and about how many challenges they will be faced with in this crazy world in the years to come. First, I think how nervous I am for them, also anxious to see how they will react to adversity. But, second I think of how proud I know I will be watching them stand tall above the crowd and be an example of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
My calling in our ward is the Laurel advisor. I have absolutely loved working with the young ladies! They are fun, beautiful, enthusiastic and FUNNY. Most importantly they are righteous, they stand tall above the crowd and are truly wonderful examples to those around them. Here I am suppose to be an example and leader to them, when in reality they are lifting me up more than they know.
Thank you Laurel's of the Fossil Ridge Ward.
I hope my children can be as strong as you.
Some day.
