Ode to the blog 

Tis time to restore myself to my blog
Are there even any readers? 
Please forgive me for my unfaithfulness
I will try to mend my ways

Well, a lot has changed since my last post! In February, my husband got a job (miracle in itself) and we moved to Portland, Or. I have long loved Portland and never really imagined myself living here but now I am and I love it! I do miss my family and friends back in Sacramento, but now I am even closer, only a day's drive away! I am even closer to my family and friends here in Oregon and above me in Washington! 


We attend the Mallory's church which is located in Newberg (we live in Sherwood, yes it looks like a forest). Levi likes to say it is a mini Rock Church. We love our church family and God is doing a great work. I am just happy to be a part of whatever God is doing!  


 In the days to come, I will strive to keep you updated with pictures and such from our crazy life :)

Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca...

"Train up a child"

This is not just a cliche, it is scripture. And it may very well be one of the most used scriptures. On Tuesday night, my boys participated in their very first communion and foot washing service. Some may think they are too young and don't understand the symbolism, and that may be true, but being that they both have the Holy Ghost and have been baptized, I thought it was time for them to take part. I explained to them what would happen and the reasoning behind it. I also asked them to examine their hearts to make sure they were heaven ready. They both seemed to understand and they both expressed desire to follow through. It was all going well until Ashley realized they had something in their hand that she didn't. She asked me what it was, and I told her. Here is how the conversation went.. Ashley: "I want grape juice too!" Me: "Well, honey you are still too young." Ashley: "Why I too young?" Me: "It's for after you get the Holy Ghost and ...
