Time 4 a change!

A few of my friends have these great templates for there blog sites, so I though I'd give them a try. After many times changing my mind I finally settled on a Valentines Day one, with it just being around the corner and all. Some of them made the pictures and definately the posts to hard to see so.......it just means Ican change again. I lost alot of my stuff, yet I was getting rather tired of all of the clutter, so I hope you enjoy!

In Memory

As we learned of the passing of our beloved Prophet and President of our church, Gordon B. Hinckley, at age 97, we are deeply saddened, as he was the only living Prophet that I have ever known. I will miss his conference talks because his messages, how simply they may have been put, had a deeply great message to apply to our everyday lives. How great to know though, that he has been reunited with his Wife, past Prophets, Our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ. I only wish that my conversion to the Church was sooner so that I could have listened to many other of his wonderful talks. I am grateful that our last meeting of Sunday in Relief Society was from this remarkable mans conference talk, being slow to anger. I pray now to learn more of this great man and of his work, for his family and friends during this difficult time, for his counselors and The Quorum of the Twelve, and for all of our brothers and sisters as we morn this beloved, man, Prophet, and President of our Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Artist Spotlight

Our little Logan is quite the artist at preschool and at home. Our fridge would be un able to be used if we hung up all of his master pieces. He is doing so good at school and we are beyond proud of him. They are learning the alphabet, a few letters each week, hence the Elephant and Fish this week. They were to cute not to share!

A Message & A Prayer

With the new year here & no news about Kylee, my mind races with thoughts of babies. We had talked with our Bishop awhile back about LDS adoption services, and after we are sealed we will be able to sign with them. He actually said once we reserved a sealing date we could start the paper work. So, first thing this morning I was on the phone with Kerry from Helena. A very nice man that paints an honest & realistic view on adoption & the process. He didn't know he was talking to a pro! He loved my questions & had again, honest answers. Come March we will more than likely sign with them, with the realization that it might not ever happen. It will be another feeler out there so to speak. He said again, that our best chance is through networking with friends & family. So, here goes. We are here, we are ready, more than ready, but mainly we have love, laughter, & a forever family to offer. So, if you know of any one that may be thinking about adoption send them to our blog so they can see first hand about us, and pray. Pray for us and pray for the birth mothers out there with the difficultist decision they will ever make but it will be there most selfless & loving decision that they could possibly make. So, there it is, my heart out on my sleeve. I understand that every entry should have a picture, so picture a nursery, filled with the sound of a little boy singing, singing to his new sister or brother, while the mother looks in with a tear falling down her smiling face & her heart fuller then any other because she knows that the Lord blessed her life with the gift of her motherhood.

No use crying

So.......we were suppose to be in Seattle right now visiting with my Grandparents & helping my other Grandma with her sale & settling into her assisted living new place. She was going to give me her piano, which we were picking up. I spent yesterday packing & such. With a toddler its snacks, toys, etc. so it took a bit. We left this morning around 6:45 am only to drive an hour & then turn back home. My heart is aching. My Grandma didn't say much, she is probably really hurt. My Grandparents offered any thing they could to store the piano until the roads were safe to travel. I felt this over whelming uneasiness as the snow pounded the wind shield, something was saying to turn back. I don't play the piano but I was thinking I wanted to learn & then if Logan thought he wanted to do it since he is already so musical, but.... I guess there is no use crying over something I can't control.

Our Sealing Date

Our sealing date is set for the Logan Temple in Utah. Wednesday, March 26th 2008. We will be there at 4pm with our endowments at 5:30pm and our sealing around 7:15. We planned to be there for Easter weekend with our family & the birth of our Nephews little boy, and since I was confirmed the 25th, and our marraige anniversary is March 12th (14 years this year) we wanted to keep it in March, so hence the 26th. I hope that everyone that wanted to be there will still be able to do this date, but I will apologize now, if not. It really works for us, so I hope that you can still share in this special day with us. I know though that you will be with us in prayer if you are unable to come, and we will go again when our little Kylee finally gets here for her sealing so keep that in mind as well. Thank you to our friends & family for all of your support no matter what happens. Love to you all~ The Williamsons

Tagged

So, right before the Holidays a friend of mine, Carrie, tagged me. I am suppose to write six things about myself that most people don't already know. Then I am suppose to tag six more friends. I, like Carrie though, don't have to many friends that are bloggers yet, so that leaves my Niece Brittney, my Sister in law, Lori, and those that read my blog & need to start there own, Tracy and Mykell this means you. Still, not six but you can't blame a girl for trying.

1. The first time that I was able to get pregnant, and miscarried at almost five months ,was with a son ,that we named Michael Dean. After his remains were sent to Shodair Hospital for answers, we received his ashes by mail, where we later put them inside a hinged porcelain egg inside a special wood treasure chest. Also inside is numerous cards, the Doctors write up as to why, my picc line card, his cremation certificate, & an outfit that my Mom bought for him. I later made a small scrapbook which sits beside the chest. I treasure these memories of my Son & his special area in our home that is just for him.

2. I love to watch Young and the Restless weekday mornings. I don't record it if I can't be home, but I will sometimes schedule Dr. appointments & not pick up the phone at times. Caller idea, a great invention! My Mom watched when I was young & I guess it has just stayed with me.

3. I love it quiet, no radio, TV, fan, etc. Just pure quiet, to read, clean, scrap, make jewelry, etc.

4. I despise it when some one asks, "How are you doing?" when either they know, could make an educated guess, or really don't listen to the response in the first place to really find out.

Stay tuned for 5 & 6, as this is really harder then you would think, plus......Tag your it!!!!
