I'm so glad everyone is back! It was gettin pretty lonely doin all that blogging with no comments. Ok so FANTASTIC NEWS! drum roll.....The brother and I are going to be nieghbors next year! Like sharing-the-same-wall-and-landlord neighbors! I guess it's not exactly official yet, but PERDY DERN CLOSE! I can't wait! And some more good news....another drum roll....well I suppose it's a good quote. Releif Society today was all about how the Lord is in charge and even though we don't understand right now, all our many struggles are going to be for our GOOD! And it's something I need to hear and love learning about. Oh yeah, quote:
"Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on: you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of — throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself."

Yay neighbors. We can party and you can make me dinner and stuff
Sarah, love the quote. You should pass it along to Tammy and Grandma.
Are you serious?! How fun, I didn't know Al going to college! Congrats!
p.s I'm posting that quote on my blog
Sarah I loved it too. Just goes to show that we need to relax and be willing to let the Lord shape us as He wants to.
