on my mind...





it's amazing how connected we can feel to people through this wonderful thing called blogging. i, like so many others, have been reading
this wonderful blog for quite some time. when i came across her blog i was hooked. she is an amazing mother, wife, and daughter of a heavenly father who knows who she is and centers her life around it. she has an amazing zest for life and is so in love with her little family and it shows in everything she does. if you don't read NieNie, you really should. she is inspiring.
so when i checked a couple of days ago and heard about this, i was so sad. i am in shock and just so sad for this tragedy. even though i haven't ever met her, i feel as though this news came about a close friend of mine... right now all we can do is pray, pray and pray some more. you can get updates
here - her sister's blog.

this is the second major tragedy to hit "acquaintances" of mine in a month.
really gets you thinking...
life is short.
the Lord is really in charge.

makes me want to live each day with
a little more faith,
a lot more love,
and full of things that are really important... (much like Stephanie lives her life)...
i am hoping and praying that they will recover and that this little family will soon be back together loving their beautiful life.

in loving memory...

"We are here for a purpose. We shall live after we die, and all of it is a part of eternity, and the key to everlasting life is the Atonement wrought by the Savior." Gordon B. Hinckley

President Gordon B. Hinckley
1910-2008

How grateful I am for the purpose of this man's life here on earth.
He was such an example of love, hard work, service, christianity, acceptance, determination, happiness, optimism.... the list can go on and on! He will be so missed, but how happy I am that he is now with his sweet wife whom I know he has dearly missed these past few years. My life is so much better because this great man lived.

I chose to post the above picture because a couple of weeks ago Ethan was waving a stick in the air and said "Look mom, I'm President Hinckley Gordon." Too cute... he always waved his cane and even my little 3-year old remembers Him that way...

Thank You President Gordon B. Hinckley
(or President Hinckley Gordon as Ethan would say),
for being our fearless prophet.
We Love You.
