SPT-smaller than a deck of cards...

Todays SPT is to show, and tell one of your most treasured items. The item has to be smaller than a deck of cards. When I read what this weeks challenge was I thought EASY! My wedding ring, and temple recommend. These two items I hold near, and dear to my heart. If it weren't for these two little items I would not be the person I am today. I just can't imagine my life without having the blessings of the temple in it. I also can't imagine my life without Steve in it. He has been a part of my life for 23 years now. That is well over half of my life. Having both of these items reminds me of eternity. What a beautiful thing.

SPT- play well with others...

I really look forward to Self Portrait Tuesday. I love the fact that it gives me a chance to journal about something I normally wouldn't have thought of myself. Today challenge is "play well with others." This topic really got me thinking. When I met Steve I was really kind of a sheltered girl. I was one that was kind of afraid to try new things. I didn't have any brothers growing up. Maybe this had something to do with it? I married Steve, and new I was in trouble! This man LOVES to play! We then had Benjamin, Nathaniel, and Jacob. Three boys in three, and a half years. I have stated before these boys are ALL boy! They love to play, and play hard. They learned from the best, their Dad. Sarah came along 4 1/2 years later. Sarah also loves to have fun! All of these years later I find myself skiing, quadding, hiking, water skiing, fishing, etc. I love being with my family. I do whatever they do. I have learned to have fun!!!!!!!! Here are some pictures that Sarah took of Steve, and I last night right before our walk. I think they fit great because Steve has been encouraging me to have fun, and play for the past 22 years! He has always been my cheerleader. Thank you Steve!
