Yesterday, Tomorrow, Last Week, Today

Yesterday:  Another wonderful Sabbath.  Went to the Worldwide Missionary Broadcast and realized that the work is going forth.  Am I on board with what my Heavenly Father wants me to do?  Time to start sharing the wonderful blessing of the Gospel.

Tomorrow:  Sometimes getting older is not-so-fun!  How grateful I am for family love and support!

Last Week:  What a wonderful week of temple experiences our family shared.  On Tuesday we went to the temple and shared that experience with Cassie Oliver (headed to North Carolina) and Lincoln Goodman (headed to Guadalajara, Mexico).

(I-Phone pics, sorry!)

Then, on Saturday, Jacque went through the temple and received her own endowment.  It was amazing and wonderful to see and feel the love and support of so many family members. 

 

We also enjoyed the Robert's family for the week.  One morning, I got a call:

Jade:  "Hi Grammy!  Wanna go to Chick-fil-A for an ice-cream cone?"

Me:  "Sure!  When?"

Jade:  "When is it good for you?  You DO like ice-cream cones....right?"

I hear Jenny in the back prompting Jade to ask if I would like to go to Jason's Deli or Chick-fil-A

Jade response:  "Mom, Jason's Deli does NOT have ice-cream cones!"

So we met up with everyone for a fun lunch....and ice-cream cones!!

We loved spending time with the Roberts!!

 

 

Today:  I had another witness that my Heavenly Father is watching over me. 

President Kimball said:

"God does notice us, and he watches over us.  But it is through another person that he meets our needs.  Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other."

 

I am grateful for the service and love of others.

Yesterday, Tomorrow, Last Week, Today

Yesterday:  The Sabbath - such a wonderful day to reflect, rest, and renew covenants.  I have made flashcards with all the thoughts from the past conference that I want to remember and were meant for me.  I love going through these each day.

Tomorrow:  A niece and nephew are going through the temple for their endowments as both have been called to serve missions.  What wonderful examples the older cousins have set for the younger ones.  I am looking forward to sharing their temple experience with them!  The Roberts' family have come to visit!  It should be a fun week!!

LAST week:  ( a tweek I thought would work better for pictures of our family's activities).  Jacque has a new addition to her home - a puppy named Belle. 

We also celebrated Father's day with our traditional songs and line-up and a fun lunch with lots of Grandpa-loving!

 

 

 

Today:  Some days are better than others.  As Jeffrey Holland stated:

"Hope on.  Journey on.  Honestly acknowledge your questions and your concerns, but first and forever fan the flame of your faith, because all things are possible to them that believe."

Yesterday, Tomorrow, This Week, Today

Monday is always the beginning of a new week.  New resolutions.  Determination to improve and look for the positive in any situation.  I'm starting a new Monday post - each Monday - as part of our "family history". 
Those who read this:  I challenge you to do the same!  It will be fun :)

Yesterday: The Sabbath - a day of rest. Elder Chantz Oliver spoke in his ward today and bore a sweet testimony of personal revelation.  The spirit was strong and I love that young man!!

Tomorrow:  Will be a little lonely because Aly and Eric are going home.  Can you believe they want to be in their own home?  Newlyweds!  By the way - Aly is doing good and trying to wean herself of pain meds.  What an amazing daughter - and very, very brave!

This week:  I plunge into the homework world again.  Brad is busy at work.  Aly will continue to recover.  Jacque is planning a jewelry party (hope I get invited!!)  (hahahah).  Jenny is at Young Women's Camp and Aaron and Savannah are still braving the tornado warnings.  I plan to finish up all my picture frames this week! This weekend, we get to "host" 14 young men from Pima.  I love cooking for a bunch of young men.  They eat!  LOTS!  I'm excited :)

Today:  I increased my "jogging" this morning.  I have a long to-do list, but mainly I want to organize the grand-kid room!

Last Surgery

The day has finally arrived.  We knew this surgery was coming and with courage and determination Aly met this next obstacle with a positive attitude and high hopes that this is the final step to the fullest recovery possible under the circumstances.  We have seen so many little tender mercies as Aly has gone through this "experience".  Dr. Tarlow is one of those blessings as he has been attentive and very conscious of every decision made for a recovery that Aly can live with.  This surgery was originally planned to attach both the ACL and PCL.  Dr. Tarlow was optimistic and hopeful that the ACL would adhere on its own, but needed to open up the knee to know exactly.  He had pre-drilled holes during the September surgery in anticipation of this surgery making this experience quick and less evasive.  He was right.  Only the PCL needed to be replaced, the surgery was a success and within 6 hours, we were headed home with Aly on crutches and feelling well enough to watch a movie at night. Little miracles today!
