Your an awesome writer. I am amazed that just a few clicks and I was reading your blog. (By the way those clicks were from my niece cammie to her cousin Loralee to you.) Watching your family on family fued. Which looked like a ton of fun. You may remember me or not. I was a Ewing and grew up in Carlsbad 3rd ward. I am Adam's & Shannon's age. Although we were in the same ward, I went to a different High School. I alway's had a great love for your family, as does my parents. I recall your family moving back from Alaska.Also the many attempts to TP your house and your mother alway's catching us in the act or before we got started. <BR/><BR/> You can catch up with me on my family blog. www.simplyafamily.blogspot.com <BR/>Love to hear from you.

I made the decision to put their needs first. I always knew I would achieve my goals that I had set. I just never knew it would take this long. After hearing a General Conf, back in 1994 or 1995. I was disheartened and numb to know that my full time motherhood duties would take me until my child was at least 18, well add that to my youngest child and my life's goals become frivolous and unimportant. It is important to develop the woman within but always keeping the woman who rocks the cradle at the cradle.tiki_ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514668932799794084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10829483.post-51783214099580666362008-07-09T01:46:00.000-04:002008-07-09T01:46:00.000-04:00Loved this post and couldn't agree more!
