Sweet quiet moments...

Up early this morning. 
Alone. 
We'll my dogs are up with me, but sleeping on my feet. 
SSMM (strong silent mysterious man) is still in bed. He may or may not be snoring. 
Reviewing the "to do" list. 
Pondering. 
The stuff doesn't matter. 
It really really doesn't. 
Family matters. 
"The kids" partaking in eternal ordinances tomorrow and Saturday. In the Temple under the authority of the priesthood. That matters. 
What God says to us in quiet moments matters. 
God is good. 
He really really loves us!
He sent a Savior for US!!!
It was His son. 
His only begotten. 
That's love. 
Webster can't touch that. 
It's fun, it's getting crazy. There is allot to do. 
There is also life going on around us. 
Many prayers for lost loved ones, and for battling disabilities, disease and cancer. 
Many broken hearts and struggle to find answers to the trials we face here. 
Many questions to know if were just doing it right?
Sometimes just not knowing how we are going to get through it. 
It's not easy. 
God please don't let me forget what matters most!!
Help us all to know of your love for us!!
And to feel of your grace in our lives. 
And thank you God for just talking to me and giving me this quiet morning.

The Calvary arrives...


Nene and uncle Ralph and aunt panda drove over from Seattle today. 
"The kids" came by before their final interviews with the bishop tonight. 
And Sabrina got to finally meet part of my family and share pics of her family so we can all memorize names before we merge the clans. Hahaha
And we coordinated some times to see where we can help with the plans. 
Still lots to do. But she is the most calm cool and collected bride ever!  Oh how we love her. 

Jacob is just now starting to figure out he's actually getting married this week. Hahaha. Kind of like the dear starring into the head lights. JK
(Kind of)
We love him to pieces too!
