"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

About Us

I never write anything about Grant and I, so, here goes! Grant is finishing up a semester at BSU, doing really well! He aces just about everything, even in physics! He is still working the night shift at UPS but loves it a ton! He gets to work with an old mission companion from his mission in Campinas, Brazil. His wife and I have been hanging out in the evenings to keep away the pure boredom that creeps in when your husband is gone at night!

I stay home with Grace and we play all day! (betweeen doing chores of course) I am currently reading a book by C.S. Lewis called "The Screwtape Letters" It's really quite interesting hearing stuff from a devil's point of view. Makes you sorta look at your life and see what you are doing, that they want you to do! I figured if the Apostles and Prophets have read it, I should! I also just bought a wheat grinder! It is from the 80's, as you can tell by the color of it! But it is awesome! All enclosed, heavy duty, and grinds pretty quickly too. I am looking forward to baking all sorts of wheat treats! Maybe I'll post some recipes so stay tuned!

I got a wheat grinder for Christmas! We love it so much, we have been making all of our own bread for about 10 months now. I posted a great bread recipe plus an amazing cinnamon whole wheat pancake recipe on my blog a few weeks ago. Check it out if you're interested. I also have a great whole wheat brownie recipe and a great banana bread recipe if you're interested. Happy baking!
