Getting Into Goals

Honey bear, Boo boo boo.....
Well I am thankful to hear Grandma Olson's talk today in church. We have been blessed to be here at such an exciting time, or maybe things like this just always happen around here. We have had two farewells, and one homecoming not to mention birthdays and weddings that we have gotten to be a part of.
I have missed getting to be at family dinners and enjoying laughing and talking with my family. It was good food and silly conversations. We played Roulette where you pick a category like colors. then the person in the middle chooses one and the people in the circle try to guess the one the "it" person has in mind. if they say the right one they get sprayed in the face with a water spray bottle. It was so funny and of course Izaac and Preston loved it a little too much:)
We also played a game where we put on headphones with super loud music and tried to guess a phrase that someone was saying to us. It was so hilarious. One we didn't do but mentioned was you sit face to face with someone and words, they could be anything back and forth and the first one to falter and not think of something looses and the other person gets to put a piece of tape on their face, like tape one eye shut or one nostril or something like that. so random and funny we should totally play games more when we get together. I am trying to remember all these fun funny things for when we get home and so I can teach them to you. The last one was everyone would write down a word, any word, and then we put them in a bucket. one person reads the words twice to everyone and then we take turns trying to guess who wrote which word. If you guess correctly then you are on a team. the person who gets the biggest team is good but you also want to be the one who none guesses your word. It probably makes much more sense when you play it:)

As far as goals I am going to study the Sunday school lesson tomorrow for atlas 15 min.
I am going to play turkey bowl football in costume with the Bennett family, and our family and score a touchdown,,, ok maybe just fave fun.
I am going to do one act of service for someone

one way that I have seen Christ in my life is being around an amazing family connected by blood and the gospel having conversations about the church in the same sentences as what we did last week. I love being around people who's lives revolve around the church and the Gospel. It has been probably since Rexburg that we have gotten to have such a big mormon influence in our daily lives and it is wonderful to share it with family. obviously it would be SOOOO much better with you but I am trying to be positive about that aspect.

I am trying to keep my thoughts pure and focus on being a better mom to these amazing little spirits that we have been given. I am so absolutely thankful that we have gotten to talk so much in these last few days. But it is so addicting and I just want to sit and hear your voice all day and night. I long to be by your side but am keeping my thoughts pure. I pray that you are safe and enjoying your visit to the other post. I want to have adventures with you and I am excited for all the ones to come.

We are meant to be together I am thankful for the blessing of finding each other, what are the chances!! It is an absolute choice blessing to be married to you.

Love forever, your eternal companion.
