family time, eating time

tonight mom made delicious chicken pot pies. they were really good. those who know me, know i love good food and can't get enough of it. now...when you add family time to it (not the arguing part), it is even better. i went over just before our stake fireside to eat. because paul and i just got back from our trip and i hadn't done any shopping, she made us some too! (aren't i lucky!) i was catching up with them about school and friends and mom started taping. that is when the fun began...i love my sisters, i am even crazy about them. i love spending time with them and know that we would do anything for each other. if you want to see more, go to dad and mom's blog and check out the video...good times...

the fireside was really good. sister draper talked about gardening, good soil and life. she also said to choose the best out of what you are doing, really spend your time in the good things, reading good books, and not procrastinate what you say you will do tomorrow. president draper talked about the attributes of jesus. he loves us, he is justice and he is mercy. he also said to trust heavenly father. trust in his timing, his love and his plan. sometimes you go to something you know is good for you, but then you leave with so much more than that. i needed to hear what they talked about. i get caught up in making sure i am doing what i want to be doing, when sometimes what i want to do isn't the best use of my time. i need to do what is best for me and for those around me...be more involved in the community, in church, work, and do all i can to be a better wife. life is too short...well anyway, these are some of my goals...
