Big day for Hannah!

Hannah received her Young Womanhood Recognition and Medallion in sacrament meeting yesterday!  She set a goal for herself that she would have all the requirements done before her 17th birthday.  I'm so proud of her, she has really worked hard over the past few years on the value experiences and her projects.

JOY

We had our ward Relief Society Christmas dinner tonight.  The Relief Society President said something in her talk that Hannah had told me before, but I forgot to write it down, and it is really great.  She said to remember to have JOY and to remember what each letter stands for.  You will have JOY if you think of and serve Jesus, Others and then Yourself.
Katie just came down the stairs and said that Nathan has written that in a letter to us too.  Boy, I must really have needed the reminder:)

Have a JOYful Christmas everyone!

Being Thankful

I saw this today and it really reminded me about being thankful, and acknowledging my gratitude, every minute of the day no matter what activity I'm involved in. I'm so thankful for the life and the blessings that my Heavenly Father has given me.
