My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

BIRTHDAY/ TEMPLE DEDICATION



March 22, was Mark's 63rd b-day and Draper Temple Dedication

Joe and Marci hosted a b-day dinner for Mark. We had roasted chicken...Mashed potatoes and gravy, and mac and cheese..I made chocolate cake with ginoche frosting..yummo. Peach and Jakes family came over later to wish Mark happy b-day..It was a fun day.

Mark and I went to the 11:30 session, of the Temple dedication Broadcast. I loved every minute. I cried when everyone sang The spirit of God like a fire is burning.

=============================================================

Yes, March was jam packed with fun and spiritual times. We also went to Phoenix, but I didn't take pictures. Yvonne (Marks step mom took us to dinner at the roof at JS building. It was delicious.)


Many people who I love had b-day's as well.....Andrew, Jake, Joe, Brittany, Mark, Robyn, and Amy's on the 29th!!

Whew!! I made it, and I'm caught up with my blogging. You all know how good that feels..Yes, indeed I need a hug!

oh my word! this has so much to comment on. Love how the brothers are so close and they celebrate.

In fact, I love how your entire family is close. Our extended family and siblings are close like that too, the bummer part is we don't live close enough to each other.

I love the draper temple and the baptism!

But most of all, I love that you went to my island! Kauai!

It is my favorite! My mom is there now and we are contemplating going for spring break because we fly free!

my son is accepted to BYU hawaii and we really want him to go there the first year, to know the culture, the people and his relatives!
