Happy birthday to me -part II



For my bday I also celebrated by going out to lunch and a movie with the females in my family (Mom, Sis, Aunt Sharon). We went to see Nights in Rodanthe and laughed all the way through it. no, it's not a comedy - just a horrible story. I don't recommend it.


Afterward I went to hear the RS broadcast with three women that I love and admire. We were all so edified by the things we were taught. President Uchtdorf's talk was particularly poignant to me. I can't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday.

I loved his talk. He is such a great speaker and I would love for him to be the pilot of any plane I was in. Such an amazing man.

Happy B-Day.

Rachel: BAD doesn't even begin to describe it. AFTER the fact I noticed that people magazine only gave it a star and a half (out of 4). Save it for the dollar movies. Better yet, save your dollar.

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
