Go figure...
I was sooo happily relieved when I was recently called to be on the enrichment committee. I was so afraid since I had head form the ward secretary that he thought the bishop wanted to meet with me about something RS related & I was sooooo afraid I was gonna be called as a teacher.
Well- it's all backfired. I got a phone call late tonight from one of the new RS counselors & she asked me to teach a lesson later in March. I nearly DIED!
Oh well- what could I say.
I said yes.

Nate told me ...
what he wanted for his b-day! What a smart little guy! I am starting to do some b-day shopping now since I know what he wants but I thought some of you might like to know as well.
He wants:
*Laugh & Learn Puppy - Fisher Price toy
*Baby Einstein dvds - so he can get smarter by watching movies & mom can get a break occassionally!
*Clothes - esp for church - anything though for 12- 24 months
*Diapers
*Baby wipes
*Big boy carseat
He is getting excited (okay - so maybe mommy is excited about having a big b-day bash for his 1st b-day with his family & friends!) Still gotta figure out a good theme though since it is also for Brian & I since our b-days are also in April.
How much more fun can we handle?

Quotes from prophets, general authorities, & other church leaders
Here are just a few of my favorite quotes from prophets & other church leaders - Feel free to share some of your own favorites!
* "The primary reason for the commandment to avoid criticism is to preserve the spiritual well-being of the critizer, not to protect the person who is critized."
-Elder Dallin H. Oaks
* "Obedience is the means of progress, advancement, growth, and development."
-Elder James E. Talmage
* "May we not conclude that obedience, in and of itself, is a source of power...? Man can achieve naught of excellence in matters material or spiritual except through the exercise, the utilization, of that supreme form of energy, obedience."
-Elder James E. Talmage
* "Happiness does not depend on what happens outside of you but what happens inside of you."
- Harold B. Lee
"Could we, should we ever demean ourselves and lose confidence when we consider the price our Savior has paid in our behalf and when we know we are offspring of God?"
-Ardeth G. Kapp
Former Young Women's General President in her book "Better Than You Think You Are"
In times when fear and despair seem to prevail, when humanity is feverish with no worldly physicians in sight, I... say, "Trust Jesus." Let him still the tempest... Believe that he can lift mankind from its bed of affliction, in time and in eternity.—Elder Jeffery R. Holland Ensign, November 1993
"I have learned through experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our disposition and not our circumstances. " Gordon B. Hinkley
Selflessness is a key to happiness and effectiveness; it is precious and must be preserved as a virtue which guarantees so many other virtues.
—Spencer W. Kimball, Ensign, Nov. 1978
"There is no great or majestic music which constantly produces the harmony of a great love. The most perfect music is a welding of two voices into one spiritual solo. Marriage is the way provided by God for the fulfillment of the greatest of human needs, based upon mutual respect, maturity, selflessness, decency, commitment, and honesty. Happiness in marriage and parenthood can exceed a thousand times any other happiness."
-James E. Faust

Inventions needed
As a mom of a now nearly one year old little boy I have realized that we haven't mastered the art of inventing as a society. For instance - we need boy & girl diapers. If you haven't already noticed - as my mom & I were discussing last night - when boys wet - it's all in the middle - so you have like 10 lbs of pee right in the center of the diaper. Girls , however, wet from front to back.
We also need shopping carts with brakes. Ever tired to put the groceries or your little one in the cart & everytime you turn the cart has managed to run away even more. I was dealing with this very dilemma today while running errands in town! ARGHHHHHH! What I wouldn't give for a brake on that darn cart!
Sooooo...let's get's inventing!

Life's latest joys
Well, we had a nice weekend this past weekend - Brian & I actucally went on a date! We went out to Ruby Tuesday's Sat. night & had dinner together! We stuffed ourselves silly! It was the first time we'd ever been there & we tried their cheese fries! I was in heaven!
This week brings another joy (NOT!) - Nate is having tubes put in his ears Wed. morning. We know it's for the best butI am anxious for it too all be over. Not too keen on the idea od my baby being under anestheia (sp?) & under the knife.
oh well!
We shall let ya'll know how that goes!
