A girl I grew up with lost her 20 month old son in his sleep the other night. It really makes you stop and think about life. I am so grateful to know what I know, that we will live together as a family again after we leave this life. It would be so devastating to loss someone and not have that knowledge. I don't know how anyone can cope with the loss of their own child, I hope I never have to experience that! It makes me stop and think about the plan of salvation and realize how truly blessed I am to have that in my life. My heart goes out to this friend and her family, may the spirit of the Lord be with them at this time.

I'm not super happy with my neighborhood, we have been here 8 months and know about 3 friendly people. We will move in April and hopefully that will change. I just miss my old neighbors!

The show The Bachelor - hooks me every time! Michelle from Utah is super annoying and I hope he doesn't keep her long.

My all time favorite reality show is "Big Brother"- love summers because of it!

If Maren doesn't get a nap she is cranky! Night time especially- so nap time is great around here.

I am ready for the snow to be through and it's only January.

I need a good book to read- something that will really hook me. I have tried a lot of the books from my old wards book club and the last one I really liked was "The Help". Any suggestions?
