Brielle is 3...

Brielle is turning 3 today! I just can't believe how much she has grown this last year! Brielle brings so much joy into our lives. She is so much fun to be around and she is always making us all laugh. I'm always amazed at how quickly she learns things and love her spunky little personality!!! I'm so proud of the good little girl that she is becoming. I can hardly believe that the little baby that used to kick me in the ribs when I was pregnant with her will be starting preschool this coming fall!!! Today Scott and I have a 3 year-old! We are so happy to have her in our lives and words can't describe how much we love Brielle!

Bri-bri (as we call her around here) has gone from this:

To this: (the morning of her 2nd birthday last year)

To this: (not long ago)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRI BRI!!!!!

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
