Spring!

I love March.  What a beautiful, lovely time of year!  Especially this year!  Utah had a very mild winter, and it was perfect for me.  The less snow, the better.

I started a new babysitting job last week.  I swore I'd never babysit again since I've done it so much over the years, but this is for a good friend who used to live in the Village several years ago and has now moved back.  Also, the pay is a huge blessing to us right now, so it was a win-win.  It's only two days a week, and the two little boys are such sweethearts.

Cam has been losing teeth like crazy.  I love his smile right now!  My dad took Cameron to Glenwood for a long weekend away.  It's their annual grandfather/grandson excursion.  Workin' like real men do.

It's been pretty quiet around here!  Enjoying some time with the girls.  I love that Claire is at the age where she and Allie can go out on the playground and play together.  For hours.  I usually take a blanket out and read.

Speaking of reading, I've been doing a TON of it lately.  I love it.  I made a goal to read the Book of Mormon before my marathon.  Nine pages a day.  It's been awesome.  I love the added Spirit that the scriptures always bring into my life.  I am also reading "The Power of Everyday Missionaries."  My dad bought it for me, and it is very, VERY good.  We still have no idea where we will end up (more on that in just a sec), but I cannot get the impression out of my mind that the Lord needs good, strong families in other parts of the country to strengthen wards.

Anyway, I have also been reading other books.  I recently discovered that my cutie celeb crush, Apolo Anton Ohno, has written books!  "Zero Regrets" was SO good.  He had such an interesting childhood, and his attitude and work ethic are so admirable.  I love his outlook on life.  I love this quote:

“Zero regrets. It’s a philosophy not just about sport but about life. School, business, academics, love—anything and everything. It’s complicated and yet not. You have to figure out who it is you want to be. Not what you want to be—who. There has to be a vision, a dream, a plan. Then you chase that with everything you’ve got.” -Apolo Anton Ohno

So go read that.  I am also reading Dean Karnazes' book.  Then I'm reading President Monson's biography.  I love reading!

So, no news on the job search.  He has applied to about 30 jobs so far, all over the country.  We aren't worried, we KNOW things will work out.  We have fasted and prayed and attended the temple.  We have both felt strongly to not worry.  So we aren't!  I love being a member of this Church.  I'd be lost without it!
