A Wonderful Story

Sara, Emily and I watched "What Lies Beneath" out on my deck. We screamed and ate snickers. I have also been making seat covers for my Supra that I love so dearly. I also saved myself $175 by refinishing my own table. Pictures of projects to come later tonight.

Worthy Stuff

I've been thinking about my brother-in-law Spence. Health problems are so tough and lonely. The one experiencing it has one set of concerns and those around have their own. Thanks heavens for the gospel and the knowledge that our Heavenly Father knows each of us and is there for us. Our prayers go out to you guys and just heed one important thing I learned when Ron was sick. DON'T PROJECT INTO THE FUTURE. The Holy Ghost will comfort you when reality is known but won't when you think how awful it will be if this or that happens. Shelby was diagnosed with cancer at the end of last September and had a clean scan at one year. Needless to say that made the September a wonderful month for the Chris Price family. That was the most horrible thing to ever hear, but I have to admit that my testimony has grown leaps and bounds because of more regular temple attendance and scripture reading because of it. When you have to rely on Jesus just to get through the day, it changes you as so many of us know.

For me personally I have loved September. I love the cooler weather, the changing leaves and the pure joy of not having to get up at any certain time in the morning. I love retirement. I have kept myself busy with worthy projects and felt soooo validated with Pres. Uchtdorf's message (at the Women's Conference) about creating. I know my girls now feel that projecting is ok and I will now finish making the seat covers for my SUPRA, refinishing my dining/kitchen table and start refinishing the piano. I have always loved projects so that was a wonderful message. Emily and Melanie have been cooking all sorts of new things and Shelby says she now feels like she can create without feeling guilty.

I loved General Conference! Lexi called and said she was going to write an apology letter to the rest of the members of the Church since Elder Wirthlin's talk was just for her. More than ever I noticed how a conference can be "just for me" and others feel the same way. I love the Church.

Jamey and the girl we all wanted to adopt broke up awhile back, but he is dating a new girl and she is wonderful and talented in so many ways. Carson is still "chilling" with the girl he was dating last month. He is more confident, happy and just more fun to be around since he has been dating her. (There may be more to his attitude than her, but he is good).
