Happy Birthday BFF

Once upon a time I moved into a scary big house with a bunch of girls I had never met.  Two months later these girls had become some of my best friends!  Tomorrow is one of these girls birthdays.
McKinsey Crabb is a hoot.  She has been such an amazing friend and I am super excited to live with her in the fall.  This is a shout out to you Crabbikins!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Beauty for Ashes

What a glorious day today is.  I can't believe how blessed I am to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Through being a member of this wonderful church I have been blessed with the knowledge of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and the Atonement.  Through the Atonement I have the hope of someday living with my Father in Heaven and Savior.  What a miracle it is that I have a way to be forgiven of my sins and through the grace of the Atonement become a better person.  I am truly in awe of the plan.  Today is also a wonderful day because we celebrate the Resurrection of our Savior and the blessing that will come to all of us.  In Alma 40:23 is says, "The ^asoul shall be ^brestored to the ^cbody, and the body to the soul; yea, and every limb and joint shall be restored to its body; yea, even a ^dhair of the head shall not be lost; but all things shall be restored to their proper and ^eperfect frame. "  I can't tell you how much this promise means to me and my family.  I am so excited for this day for many reasons.
 There are 4 main reasons I can think of.
1. My sweet mother.  As some may know she has had many health challenges that have resulted in her inability to do many activities she loves.  For her I am excited for the day when she doesn't have any more pain and can do what she loves.
2 & 3. Are named Clark and Dee J.  Without going into tons of details I can say that they are two of my uncles who are mentally and emotionally challenged.  I am so excited to get to know each of them personally.  4.Is Kyle, my best friend and brother.  I can't wait for the day when I will get to see him walk and hear him talk.
I just couldn't let today pass without sharing my testimony of Easter.
Happy Easter!

Sweet Clark and Dee J
