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."

St. George

While in St. George my Aunt Anette & Uncle Ron were having their mission farewell so I was able to see not only my whole family, but all of my Aunts, Uncles, and cousins as well! It was so good to see everyone and be there to support my 'Aunt Net!'

Grandpa George & Alyssa

Grandma Norene & Alyssa

My favorite cousin Stacia & her little boy Royce
