I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Oh, the girls looks soooo cute! Alyssa is looking so awake! Can hardly wait to see you all in March. Miss you tons, Mom Mackley
I love these pics too! I didn't see them yesterday when I saw the video. She does look sweet! The cherries are too cute. Aunt Shirlene is so nice to do things like that.
