Had a wonderful Christmas. I really do wish the spirit of christmas was felt every day. The only thing that I do not like is the rushing and getting impatient that takes place. But I know that also I was being taught to slow down and take time for what really matters, like you. Love you Philip.

Been really busy making Christmas gifts this month. I feel that homemade gifts are much better because you take the time out to make them, and we all know time is precious. Love you my son.

I am so proud of my son. He went to the republican meeting in Williamsburg, Va. this weekend and accepted on behalf of the city of Colonial Heights an award for the city with the most republican votes in recent election. Way to go Philip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving. I am really thankful for one of the greatest gifts heavenly father ever gave me. Yep You

So proud of you my son, it was a straight republican win on November 3, 2009 because of people like you. Life is not always fair but it is because of people like you that make it more enjoyable and just a better world.

Well I haven't written in a while. Been really busy lately. Philip is doing great. He has met Eric Cantor, and went to a gala event featuring Mike Huckabee. He is doing great and so am I. My testimony has grown as I continue to do the things that we have been counseled to do. Life is much easier and happier. Been working on food storage and other things that take an effort but are so much worth it. Gotta go have a tension headache and it makes me really sleepy.
