"why are you not baptised?"....

to quote a line from nacho libre "why are you not baptised?"..."because i never got around to it..OKAY"
for those of you who don't know, my parents have a kid name Juan living with them. Because of different life circumstances he didn't have anywhere to live while he finished his senior year. so the amazing people that my parents are agreed to let him come live with them, not knowing anything about him, but the word of a friend that he was a good kid. It was definitely a gamble that payed off. We love Juan, and are so glad that he is part of our family now. this past Saturday my dad was able to baptise Juan a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Juan had had the missionary discussions 3 times through out his life and never felt ready for baptism. I'm so glad he finally made the decision to get baptised and commit himself to living the gospel. We love you Juan and we're glad that you ended up with our family. :)

random happiness.....




this could be the most random post of all time but here a just a few of the things that have brought a smile to my face in the last few weeks.
1. the baby birds i got to see every morning outside of work.
2. not being able to pick my zucchini fast enough.
3. my mom and dad riding in the legacy 20 mile bike race, aren't they cute.
4. arron, given the choice of WHATEVER he wants for his birthday dinner choosing steak and mac'n cheese with hot dogs in it, making me question if he was turning 9 or 29.
5. last but not least, the start of UTAH football..
HOORAY!!
