Curt's, grandmother passed away on Oct 8th, 2008. We had the Viewing and Funeral this last weekend. It was nice to be with the whole family to celebrate her life. She was a strong woman that loved to play the organ, and she was really good at it too. She had a hard life, but always pushed through them with her faith. I never got to meet her husband Charles but she would tell me stories of there experinces every time we went over to her house. I know that Grandma Schenk had a wonderful reunion with Charles, finally! Curt and I are glad that we had the opportunity to know her and had the chance to have our kids know her too.

Conference Weekend







Conference weekend is great! It helps me realize what is most important in my life and how I can be better, and doing so, I can be even more happier. So far I have learned that I want the spirit more in my life. The spirit to me is a overwhelming feelings of joy. The prophets have told us how to have it more but sometimes I get busy and think that other things have to be done first. I need to do better. Our family is going to make sure we have a morning and evening prayers together. We have been doing really good with Family Home Evening lately because I don't work Monday nights anymore. We have seen blessings already for studying the life of Christ. We have been displaying a picture and talking about it with the kids. Sometimes you think , "why am I doing this, the kids aren't even listening." But Corbin has been really thinking about it lately. Curt told me the other night that Corbin stated asking questions about why he couldn't see Jesus and asking where he lives. It was a great opportunity to talk again to Corbin of Jesus' life and purpose. When Curt thought there conversation was done, Corbin sat thinking and profoundly said, "Jesus changed the world, didn't he?" It amazes me the simple minds of kids. I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach my kids the wonderful teaching of Christ and how it helps us to become better. We all want our kids to grow up and be good people, and I think Christ teachings helps us all.
Curtis grandmother (Grandma Shank) is on her death bed right now. I haven't experienced death very often so it has really got me thinking. We need to make the most of today. What is the most important in our life? I think it is my relationship with my Heavenly Father, my husband, my wonderful kids, my extended family, and friends. In 20 years I don't want to say "what if". We will one day run out of tomorrows. (President Monsen said that)
At the top of this post I displayed pictures of the temples that the Anderson siblings got married in. Each of these building teach the amazing plan of our Heavenly Father. I am grateful for the education that I have obtained and the promises that I have made. My favorite part in the Temple is the blessings that we will receive if we do our part. My other goal is I am going to go to the Temple every Tuesday morning. Everyone that knows me, knows that I am not a morning person. So hopefully a year from today I am still keeping my goals.
