We will be judged by what is in the Book of Mormon. It will be the rod against which we will be measured.
I made it to Walmart, did my shopping, and came home all within an hour. That was my goal. In the past it's taken me an hour and 15 minutes. Maybe it's because I did interval walking and jogging most all of the way there.
I mowed the front lawn today and made an exciting discovery. I can start the lawnmower all by myself! The reason I haven't been mowing the lawn is because I didn't think I could start the mower. Should I be glad or sad?
Started preparing my talk for Sunday on the family. How do I make it interesting. James says we aren't to entertain, but to bear testimony.
Wes Lueck came over today. He is buying one of our lots and he had a contract for us to sign.
Woohoo!
James bid 3 jobs today.
In spite of my 3 mile walk I ate pie, and candy today. I wonder if I will lost any weight?

Happy 37th Birthday to Sheri! She got roller blades from Ian.
We gave her a soft blanket, a puzzle and gift cards to go out to eat. She, Trina, their kids, and Michael went hiking on Peralta Trail this morning. I was going to go but James talked me out of it. It didn't take much because my feet were hurting. I took a nap instead.
I went out to breakfast with my friend Karen Schneider this morning for her birthday. We went to Mimi's and got omlets. They were delicious. Karen's birthday is on the 24th but she has cleared the rest of the week to get ready for her trip to Hawaii.
This evening James and I went to see the movie "The Vow" using movie passes we got for Christmas. The movie features Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum as a couple involved in a car accicent. She loses her short term memory and they have to start their relationship all over. It was based on a true story. Rachel McAdams made the movie for me. She is so adorable! Channing Tatum wasn't bad to look at either.

James and I gave each other haircuts yesterday so we looked 'spiffy" going to Church today.
Stacy had to stay home with Josh who had a fever so Dallin and Michael came to Church with me. (Paul goes to the 9 am meeting because he has work at noon). James and I went up to sit by Dallin and Michael during sacrament meeting and they got up and left. James went out in the foyer and ask them to come back but they were "no shows." I must say I was rather hurt and offended. They pretty much made a joke out of it when we ask them why they did it. I can't remember when I've been more disappointed in these two.
We had our Lambson FHE this evening. There were 19 of us in attendance and we had a great time. Our family home evening theme for the year is faith and obedience. Addy sang "I Am A Child of God" Dallin sang "How Great Thou Art" and Joe and Dallin sang while Dallin played the piano and Joe played the guitar.
We really miss Jared and Tricia's family!

The highlight of my day was watching the Trezise boys, Ben and Max play football. Ben threw a pass to his buddy Ian Wanlass who caught it one handed in the air and ran for the touchdown. Ian also made the extra point.
Max made the first touchdown of the game in his game on the second play of the game. Both boys can catch, throw and play defense. It made my day to watch them play! (Someday I will have some pictures on this blog.)
James is selling another trailer today. This one will go for $1,800.00 Hey, whatever it takes to pay the bills. (He just threw 1800 cash on my desk!)
Nathan, Terry's son, wants to buy one and maybe both of the lots we have left in the neighborhood. Hurray!
Quote of the day:
"Happiess is the object and design of our existence and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness and keeping all the commandments of God." - the Prophet Joseph Smith

No walk to Walmart this morning. I was just too tired. I went back to bed for an hour and then went outside to work in the yard.
Sheri invited me to go to the movies today with her and Christy Wanlass and Drea Boles. We saw "One for the Money." A little crude but quite entertaining. Stacy was nice to watch Evan. Speaking of Stacy, she got her license today so it's official she's a dental hygienest! Now if she can only find a job.
Adam and friends made it safely to the cabin at around 2am. One of the cars didn't make it the last 100 yards. There is snow, James sent me a picture. While James was making steak, gravy and biscuits for breakfast the electricity went off. It was a loose wire out in the fuse box. It's a good thing grampa was there to fix it.
I am off to Dave and Laura's in a few minutes to play 5 Crowns!

James went on my walk with me again this morning. It was fun having him with me. I gave him a shopping assignment in Walmart and he had to have a little help. He's not the experienced shopper that I am.
Trina is such a sweetie. She came over this afternoon and helped me pack some things in the kitchen pantry. I got some big moving boxes at Sam's Club and it really got me in the mood for packing. The hard part is knowing what to keep, what to give away, and what to throw away.
James left for the cabin this afternoon. Adam is going up with some friends tonite and James is going up to get things ready for them. He is also cooking them steak, gravy and biscuits in the morning. What a guy! He was sad that I wasn't going but I really didn't want to. I told him it was a guy bonding trip.

"Only through repentance do we gain access to the atoning grace of Jesus Christ and salvation."
I took my Walmart plastic bag on my walk this morning and filled it up with garbage. Most of it came this side of the trailer park (Sunshine Valley) wall.
The cars continue to stream through the Starbucks drive thru between 6am and 7am. That must be when they do the bulk of their business.
Today was a busy day. This morning after my "chores" I visit taught Christy Wanlass. Afterwards I came home and made finger sandwiches and went with Laura to our ward's Relief Society birthday luncheon at Judy Pargetter's. We had a good turn out: Judy and her daughter Michelle Thompson, Julie Jacobs, Leesa Farr, Jackie Hall, Inger and Julie Johansen, Jill Lueck, Rachel Hill, Debbie Lieb, Adrienne Ellsworth, Drea Boles, Janny St. Onge, Jocie Bogner, and Laura and I. The food was good and so was the company.
At 2 pm I had an appointment at Dr Douglas's to have my teeth cleaned by Jackie, the hygienest. She said my gums looked good.
For dinner James and I had our delayed Valentine's date at one of our favorite restaurants, Black Angus. We got the special which included an appetizer, fried zucchini and fried mushrooms, an entre' with two sides. I had the New York steak, a baked potato and green beans. James had the prime rib, steak soup and broccoli. For dessert we brought home cheesecake with strawberry sauce.
Now James is gone to Mutual and I have an hour or so by myself.
