IL Trip

Earlier this summer my parents took 3 of my nephews on a road trip to Nauvoo, Cathage Jail, Independence, Liberty Jail & Adam-Ondi-Ahman. So of course I had to tag along. We also were able to visit Becky, Dave and the kids in Carbondale, IL. It was a great trip and way too short.

Look Not behind Thee

To stay on track with my random postings, I thought I should start the year off by posting a video. I found this while I was blog stalking (yes, I will admit that I blog stalk) someone that has recently suffered a miscarriage. While I have not experienced the loss and heartache of a miscarriage, I have experienced the heartache of not being married or having children. I think this is a pretty cool video and the message it brings really rings true to me. My life hasn't always gone the way I thought it would or even expected it should. And learning to not look behind me and long for things that could have been is a work in progress. This video is a good reminder of that for me.
