This weekend Shawn and I went to Nauvoo to see his parents. It was so much fun and a great break from normal life. We got to see mom in the sewing room and drug store, dad on the wagon and in the blacksmith shop, and we got to go to the temple with them Saturday night.
This was definitely a great opportunity to see Nauvoo and to be able to not have any crowds or anything slowing us down (except lack of sleep - we spent our first night in the airport on the floor...)
We are a CRAZY but having fun being that way family. We have 6 kids. They are Sarah-12, Joseph-10, Hannah-8, Caleb-6, Jacob-3, and Lydia -14 months. We love animals and the outdoors, and homeschooling!
*People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. *If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. *If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. *If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. *What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. *If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. *The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. *Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. *In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
