"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

New Year, New Experiences!

Okay, this year has been full of new experiences. First, a new year! :) Second, Thaddeus breaking his leg. (He is doing wonderfully now, just started hobbling around 100% of the time last week and today fell over and twisted his left ankle, poor kid, now he hobbles on both sides!!!) Third, Grace is in Primary, a sunbeam. I am in the primary presidency so I get to watch her during sharing time and I thought she would be bad because I am in there, thankfully the honeymoon stage hasn't worn off yet :). And fourth, we are buying a house! I'll get some pictures and post them but we are super excited to paint walls a color other than white and plant a garden. We hope to close around the 18th or later if delays occur. Wish us luck!!
