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."

Silly Girl!

Ashlynn is such a silly girl! She keeps bringing me the camera and telling me to take her picture! Good thing for digital cameras, right? I can't believe how big my girls are getting. Ashlynn acts older everyday, Hailey is learning things she didn't have any clue about a month ago, and Alyssa is almost 4 months old! She is starting to learn how to roll over and smiles and coo's at everything and everybody. I am so lucky that she is such a happy girl. She hardly ever cries. I love my girls so much! On the other hand, I HATE logan! It's freakin' the middle of April andfor the last 3 days it's rained and snowed. It's sooooo cold. I remember coming up here as a teenager, with Kate, in the middle of April and there was 3 feet of snow on the ground. (Remembering our drive up here all those years ago made me remeber about this band that's playing. Great times!) We swore that we were never coming back here again. And now I live here! How did that happen!? Although, I now we were ment to come here. We have been so blessed for being here and I'm sure that when we're gone, I will miss it. I just wish it was warmer!

It won't be long before we are all wishing we lived in Logan! In a few months when it's 114 degrees outside you're gonna be so happy your living there.

Oh, Ben Kweller! I always think of you when I listen to this! That trip was SO fun though, even though LOGAN was freezing. I can't believe that you ended up living there!
