Kellie had a concert tonight at REV. I took her down Citrus and dropped her off on the side of the school. I normally go back the same way...but I got a feeling. I thought it would be nice to drive past the temple. So I went home on Highland. I turned down Center and saw a car accident that had just happened. Sadly it was Amy Elkins with all of her children. I stopped and was able to take care of the children while Amy dealt with all the activity. The accident happened right in front of the Rozzi's home. Come to find someone had just dropped off Hannah and was pulling out....into Amy.
So what is good about today? So many things!

Is it good for the sun to shine?
I asked a Mission President what he thought about girls writing missionaries. His reply was, "Is it good for the sun to shine?" I took that answer as a great big YES. I know I love getting mail, the kind we refer to now as snail mail. Looking in the mail box and seeing that someone took the time to write me a little note to say hello is just amazing for me.
So for those of you that know Elder Daniel Doria, here is his MTC address. It should be good for another 2 months.

Cellos and Rock & Roll
Last night Kellie had a Wind Ensemble concert at Clock Auditorium. It is still a little weird to think that my youngest is rockin' out with her trumpet during a high school event. She looks so beautiful in her dress. ( I know, I know, a picture would be perfect right now.) While they were playing the last song a huge smile just jumped onto my face. It was soooo great! The song was so fun and so well played. I am so happy for Kellie that she gets to be part of something wonderful and that she takes me along for the ride.
The second half of the concert the U of R Wind Ensemble played. They did some artsy music which is good. But my favorite was a saxaphone quartet. It was so awesome. I love the saxs, and to have 4 going at the same time, playing such great music was...so SWEEEEET! After that song there were some more fun music. I just love that these kids work hard and can do this great thing with their instruments. (Actually I get a little emotional about it.) For the last song a celliest joined the Ensemble. Oh...my...goodness. Have you ever seen anyone play rock & roll on a cello. This guy was smokin'. His fingers were moving so fast and his bow was going crazy. The song was great, but the best part was watching this guy do his thing.

Always be grateful for elbows!
Our neighbor boy was baptized tonight. He was excited about everything. He was so excited to have some of his church buddies come. Every time one would come in he would announce, "Hey, another one of my friends came." He went around hugging everyone. After we sang the opening song he clapped. Everything was just so exciting. Daddy conducted and I was asked to give the talk on baptism.
Yesterday was the Relief Society Conference for the stake. The workshops were so great. I went to 3 of the workshops. One was done by the fabulous Kathy Haimson. She spoke about the book that President Hinckley's daughter wrote (I don't remember the name, but it's new) which talks about 'a change of heart'. She also spoke about a book called Ida B. It is a story about how a girl's heart was changed. It is a children's book, but we could all benifit from it.
The next was on Gratitude. It was nice to reflect on the things I am grateful for. The speaker told us the first thing she can remember being truly grateful for was her elbows. She was kneeling down during family prayer and realized how hard it would be to pray if she couldn't bend her arms. She went on to tell us many the things we wouldn't be able to do if we didn't have elbows. Great story.
The last workshop was given by Sister Carlson, the stake president's wife. She spoke about communication in marriage. She talked about a book called, 'The 5 Love Languages.' I have heard about this book for about 6 months, so I decided it was time to get it. It is a great book and I highly recommend it.
It has been super windy today and has added a bunch of excitement to the day. We have had so much weather this year, lots of rain and wind. It has been really fun.
Welcome to March!

What's new?
So what's new you ask? We have had glorious ran the last few weeks. Our rain total is double what we got last year. Sweet!
I finally finished 'The Fellowship of the Ring' last week. I am going to take a break before I jump into the 2nd book in the trilogy. I have also finished the Book of Mormon. I have started again, this time using the BofM student manual religion 121 and 122. I am having so much fun with it. I also started 'The Screwtape Letters' by C.S. Lewis. I bought the book awhile ago and am excited to get into it. I have a feeling it is one of those books you have to read twice in a row. Who has read it? What did you think about it?
Our YM/YW had a Couth night this week. We invited the 4th ward. It quadrupled our regular numbers. I believe the night was a success. So I won't be responsible for another one until October. I want to do something kinda wacky. But always remember, "plan with a purpose". Is 'wacky' a purpose?
I have resigned my post as the Pinecone Book club instructor at work. March will be my last month. It has been fun and I have learned a bunch, but after 1 1/2 years it is time to pass the torch to someone who doesn't have YW's that night and who doesn't have a husband for a Bishop.
The vegetable garden gets started this weekend. It's a small one, but remember, we weren't told to have a big one, we were just told to have one. So here is to radishes, corn, strawberries, tomatoes, pumpkin, zucchini, raspberries and sugar snap peas, at least for now.

120/80
So, not very often can I say that there is something perfect about me. I went to give blood yesterday at the stake blood drive and my blood pressure is perfect.
The blood drive was very informative. I found out that our cute friend Susan Dyer is getting married in April. What a very lucky guy he is. I hope he knows it. I also saw Chelsea Lovett. She is home from Hawaii for a time. On the way home I saw the coolest thing of all. One of the little Glauser boys was driving their big van. I know a few of my daughters wanted to marry him. So the good news is, if he is driving, he is dating age. So good luck girls.
The youth fireside is at our house tonight. I am so excited. Happy Sunday!
