From a talk by James E. Faust: "Each of us needs to train ourselves to be disciplined and loyal men of the priesthood. Now the key to never turning into an evil Mr. Hyde is to determine not to yield to destroying temptations. Never never experiment with any addictive substance." I know my addiction is diet coke. Here begins my adventure on withdrawing from this addiction. Just Do It.

Boy it has been a long while since I have last been on this blog. Been doing nothing much, but baby sitting and taking cake decorating classes. I will have to post pictures of the cake decorating when I get a chance. I learned an important lesson of standing up for what is right. People are not always going to agree with the way that you see things, but you must endure. I just take comfort in knowing that the lord never said it would be easy he only said it would be worth it. I know that that is true. Oh well, gotta go decorate a cake.

It was so funny. Tonight it was thundering and lightning and Philip yelled out "Am I gonna live?" He is so funny, he was even laughing at himself.

I am so excited I finally got this blog site to work out. Now I can start posting more about Philip, boo bear, in this one. Things are looking up!

Started working on my blog again. Should be putting a lot more interesting things in it.

Boy it has been a long time since I last wrote. Not much has gone on. Still trekking along doing homeschool, and enjoying working in young women at church. I am still so very proud of my son who has overcome with heavenly fathers help any challenges he has. I wish I could be as strong and sweet as you, Philip. Enough for today will continue to write though.

You went to Bob McDonnels inauguration and had a great time. Still need to put up your pictures. Been really busy with church which I really love being busy with. Later I will post the pictures.

I love you my son. You bore your testimony today and it was great. You're quite a speaker. Also, I admire your honesty in all things. You are great.

Started the new year off fantastic. Got back in touch with Joanne. What a blessing. I love her so much, and really have missed her. Just remember that heavenly father knows who and what we need in our lives. Happy New Year to everyone, especially you boo.
