Today's Thought

"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

Laughing Companion

I just love it when Joni and I get together!!
As she puts it, "We get each other."
 We can be laughing so hard with tears rolling down our faces and everyone else is just rolling their eyes because they don't "get us."
It is so sad that they are missing out.

I can always count on a good gut wrenching, eye crying laugh we when are together.
She is a sister I never had or a friend that I should have had all my life!!!

She moved to Tennessee and I haven't convinced them to come back yet.
But hopefully one day they will come back.
In the meantime I hope that we can see each other AT LEAST once a year, even if it is for just a few hours.

Joni arrived in Utah Monday and had to get her girls to Youth Conference being held in Logan this year.
She then headed over to my house. She beat me by 1.5 hours so she had to make her own bed....and sleep in it. I was kind enough to wash and dry them for her though.

We had a nice visit. Jake finally made it over to visit also, then I made dinner.

We got talking about the Sen Sen and realized that Jake hasn't tried any yet.
Well he was going to have NONE of that!
Joni tried to con/talk/convince him into trying some but he refused.

As we were busting up laughing because of her "tactics", Jake just sat there with a smirk.
Not quite sure how to take his mom and I.

In the end....
he did NOT try the Sen Sen.

When I woke up the next morning I went and plopped on her bed and we just visited in our pj's and morning breath. Only true friends can do this right?

We finally got up and showered and then headed to breakfast.

After breakfast we headed over to the temple to walk around. She wasn't able to be here when we were having the Open House.

After walking around a bit, and wishing we would have thought to get up earlier and do a session, we ran home and put on a skirt so we could at least "tour" the inside of the temple where we could.

Hopefully they can come back to do a session before they head back to Tennessee.

I LOVE YOUR GUTS JONI!!!!
Thanks for being my friend, sister, laughing companion
and always there for me when I need to do a long-distance vent.
