Marshall and I had a very excellent weekend. We spent most of it doing church related activities. For starters we hadn't been to the temple for very long time (blush) so we decided to go Friday at 10:00 in the morning. We thought it would be slow at that time so we could breeze through. Well just like everytime a temple trip gets planned there were a hundred things that happened that made us question whether we should stay home and handle the problems that arose or forget them and go. We made the right choice and went to the temple and had the best experience ever so we decided to stay and do some sealings afterwards. Marshall's parents had graciously accepted the task of babysitting so we knew the kids were in good hands to leave that long. Then when we returned home they helped us work on the deck that we are building. We really appreciated the help and the yummy dinner Jan made for us that evening. After they left Marshall and I cuddled up to watch the movie "Cinderella Man." This was a great movie and very appropriate for the current economic climate (eek). The next day we were priveledged to attend the baptism and blessing of my cousins children. And if RaeLynn reads this tell Scott we really enjoyed his talk, he even had Ryan listening very intently. Afterward we went to a get together at Todd and Wendy's new and very beautiful home. It was so nice to visit with relatives. It reminded me of the old days when grandma was still here and we would get together. The Briscoes are some of the funnest people out there. So thanks to Jana and Wendy for getting it all together. And to top it off we had a very good Sunday. So even in a time when the economy looks bleak we will always have our family there to fall back on.
I found this quote online and thought it said a great deal in a few words.
"A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty."
