I have to brag...

I have to brag about my dear husband Scott! He is so amazing and we love him and appreciate him so much. He works so hard for our family...when he was going to BYU-Idaho he was such a good student and a hard worker and now that he is working at Olive Garden...he rarely complains about how hard it is so wait tables and lift all those heavy trays and getting everything right for the people that go eat there. He's just awesome! He recently had 2 interviews for medical school to Nova in Florida and DMU in Des Moines, Iowa. He heard yesterday that he got into Nova and today that he was also accepted at DMU. We are so excited and relieved...and I am so proud of him. He has another interview at George Washington University in DC next month and hopefully he'll get a few more that way we can choose the best program for him. But we are so grateful that of right now he is going to medical school no matter what!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!

Cassie said...: Hey I am not sure if you remember me, we are friends with stacy and justin, but I noticed that Scott got into DMU?! That is where we are at, and we love it!! No complaints so far and we are from WA so it is a big change. My husband loves the program and there are a ton of LDS students that go there. Our ward is also so fun!! Just thought I should give a little imput on a possible future DMU student : ); October 28, 2007 at 8:00 PM

On Life.

This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now.
-President Thomas S. Monson

Because love is the great commandment, it ought to be at the center of all and everything we do in our family, in our Church callings, and in our livelihood. Love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. It is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. It is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk.

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
