What needs straightenin' in Your life?

Well I have pondered on that the last couple weeks mostly due to Derek's new braces. He is a handsome boy with a spectacular 'tin grin.' He looks older and has been a trooper through it all, only one dose of Advil that evening to get through football practice. He is taking on the 'heavy metal' with ease. Our children are growing up.
The straightening that I have focused on is my goals and the woman I want to be for myself, my family, and the Lord. How grateful I am for the Atonement and the tender mercies that exist daily on the behalf of all mankind. If the path I trod is crocked at times or the acts I preform are; I can still hold my head up and press foreword because life is not about straight ways-just finding a way back to His loving arms. I read a poem this morning and the last line says, "Feast on your life." I have never shunned from a nice feast so today I feast on my life-life in general-keeping the things straight: my hair, the mowing lines, my parking of the van, the shoes in my closet (maybe), and my priorities.
Striving to see straight.

Sunny Day Preschool
Here he comes!!!
I cannot believe my baby is going to preschool??? He looks adorable and all, but sakes.... where has the time gone. I am going to hug and kiss all of them lots to today!!!

It is back to school time!!!!
I now have a child in Jr. High and I do not feel any older so go figure. Bethany started 1st grade so that equates to an all day. I do miss her but she is enjoying it-that little smartie! Dek and Seth are now in 5th and 2nd grades. Luke is anxiously awaiting preschool soon and 'his teacher' I am happy for him-though i can't help but wonder where the time is going? How fast they are growing and the changes in each of them, I enjoy seeing the changes and feel blessed to be their mother.
