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."

We're off...

...to St. George!
Anthony is taking me home for our....

dun da na na...

6th anniversary! I can't believe it! 6 years on Sunday.
Here's to another happy 6.
Oh what adventures we'll have...
moving back to SG,
Anthony finding a job,
me starting school,
having another baby (hopefully a boy so we can decide we're done),
me finishing school,
building our dream house! (Anthony had a class last semester that required him to make house plans, so we sat down each night for a month and dreamed on up!)
I guess some of this is in out next 10 year plan,
but it seems to close!
I am going to be taking some on line classes, this fall semester, from Dixie.
I am excited to get them out of the way.
Me teaching will be the only way we will ever be able to build our dream house,
so it's got me really motivated.
Wish me luck!
Wish US luck!
