Projects Projects Projects!

Does anyone else have a never ending list of projects they want to complete? Really, with such a list, I have no right to ever sit and watch television. (Go Davids! I want them both in the finale but am still hooked on the younger!) Well, these last few weeks I have really made some headway on my list (and of course added more to it) We have done a plethora of household refurbishings including organizing, picture journaling,"landscaping", redecorating, painting, and just good old fashioned cleaning-(pictures and details To Be Continued)... and I have felt like a good wife and mother along the way! It's amazing how making a list, setting goals to achieve, and some honest sweat work can make you feel!

Here's to sweatin every day! Just makes you feel like your really livin!

...the sweet angels I live with. Call me blessed.

Jenny Timmerman said...: I'm rooting for the David's too! And as far as projects go, I'm pretty sure our list could keep us busy until we're 80 and have better things to do. :); April 27, 2008 at 9:25 PM

Brianne & Jarod said...: Now those are my kind of projects! Sounds like you are keeping busy :) Only two more weeks and we will be joining you as TEXAS residents.

P.s. I had a GREAT time reading through the box of old letters that I found. You have NOT changed a bit (and I mean that as the biggest COMPLIMENT ever!!) Your talent for writing and seeing the good in everyone/everything has always amazed me. You were seriously such a GREAT friend to me (well maybe besides the letter that contained an April Fool's Joke involving you and JBaxter when I thought I could never like anyone else..he he he...) THANKS for being a such a shining example of living your life to the fullest with nothing but true optimism.; April 29, 2008 at 4:26 PM
SusieQ said...: I have lists. And lists. And lists. Not much is getting crossed off. Maybe I'm writing down the wrong things...

Great pictures!; April 30, 2008 at 10:31 PM

Some of My heart...

~I want to be better than I am today. I mean really. I want to be as good as some of you think I am. I want to match up with myself, with my possibilities. What shall I work on today?
~I love the entire process of having children. I so much enjoy pregnancy (I'm one of those that doesn't really get sick),and I think child birth is absolutely unreal. I sincerly would love to go through the process as many times as I could.
~My husband and I have said a prayer together every night of our married life
~We bought dish network for 2 reasons, in this order: #1 BYU TV, #2 College football (namely BYU games) Extras include CNN and HGTV.
~I want to get old. I am proud of each additional year I add to my resume of living.
~One of the greatest days in my life was when I stayed up all day and night to read the book of mormon, my last prep day in the mission
~I know a lot of songs. I have sung every song in the hymn book at least twice (I did it on my mission)
~I love learning why people like things that I don't
~My brother Jabbs and I could stay up all night talking about anything. He has such a strong desire to do well with his life...and I love his music
~I hope my children will love their names
~I love my name. Sara Ann. No H, no E...I want to be as simple and hard working as I feel my name is. Thank you Mom and Dad
~I wish that anyone I've hurt, ever, would tell me. It's the worst feeling to think you could've hurt someone and not known it.
~Why do I love football so much! I mean I really love it. I could watch NCAA football all day if I didn't have babies. There's something about the strategy, the team versatility and diversity, the ready set-will they pass, run, sack, defend, turnover, penalize possibilities! It makes me feel like I am at home. That's weird to say about a sport, I know, but I really feel, although I've only played back yard ball (remember that one game Mckay at the park when we dominated) it is a part of me and I love it! GO COUGARS! and even (in small caps) hookem horns!
~Winter is so wonderful...because we have summers. I'm actually liking the Texas humidity. It makes me feel like I am on vacation
~I can have long fingernails if I choose too.
~I think I make great first impressions. The trick is maintanence afterwards.
~I'll never forget the day I made the part in the musical. My sister Jamie was more excited than I even was. What an amazing thing to hear her coming down the hallway at school shouting that I made it. She has been the best big sister to me
~I would love to go to Hawaii every weekend of my life
~Working in Labor and Delivery is the second greatest job (other than the eternal ones) one could have on earth. The first is teaching at the MTC. I feel so grateful for my life.
~My Brother Nate and I have so much in common. He is much better than me in many ways (although I think he doesn't know it). We are the only 2 in the fam with the green and brown ringed eye color
~I love hard candy. Jolly Ranchers etc.. Oh' and sour stuff too. Greatest part, only 1.5 cavities in my life ( I say .5 because the dentist said "and this isn't exactly a cavity but we'll fill it just to be safe).
~I am afraid of cats. They are too sly. At a young age I started watching my back, looking over my shoulder for them. I even lived on a llama ranch with like 8 indoor cats. Ya, big challenge for me. I faced it, but am still afraid. I don't mind being afraid because I much prefer dogs
~I am grateful I have my sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste
~Flowing water is theraputic. It reminds me that I can be still and know that God is. Peace like a river
~I believe that although you may remember sins you'v repented of in this life, you won't in the next. Just the growth and learning.
~I enjoy delegating but then struggle with actually letting someone else do something for me. I would much prefer to do it all myself and run myself to the ground. Is that a trust issue, or pride?
~I am an all or nothing kind of gal. It's usually feast or famine for me. I am learning to balance my life and be alright with just getting something done even if it isn't perfect
~I lose track of time when I'm cooking. I really enjoy the process and product. Probably because my husband is overly complimentary.
~I love my comfortor. I got it on clearance which, I believe, makes it feel even more comfortable. Thanks Mom Lake for the sheets. Everyone deserves to have good sheets. I mean like 400+ thread count
~I can't believe I am a Mother. I've dreamed of, pretended, prayed for, hoped for, planned/prepared, for this my entire life. I am a MOTHER! Wow. I still feel like me.
~My brother Seth is like a cadaver/specimen of youth. I wish people could pick him part and study him so they could learn from his example
~I worked for Walt DisneyWorld and some of my job desciption is to remain confidential. Even my husband doesn't know
~I once heard a 5 year old child in missouri start a prayer saying "dear heavenly King, God" She knew who she was talking too.
~Somedays I wish I could be out knocking on doors in the rain as a missionary again...other days I dream that I am on a mission and wake up so happy and relieved that I am in a different season now
~I think scars are beautiful because they are proof of a memory...that you've lived. I really honestly love my stretch marks because I am so happy for what brought me them
~I wish everyone on earth could have a conversation with my dad. Not only is he wise but he has truly been developing charity. I wish I would've heard more of what he was saying/meaning when we shared a roof
~I wrestled and won a greased pig when I was 14
~I can't take "scary". I am overly sensitive to anything remotely ( even pretend) evil. I had to stop reading Harry Potter on #4 because the only time I can read is at night and It was too much for me. Not kidding. Movies are even worse
~I love writing. I love exploring thoughts and expressing words that give meaning and remembrance to life and its moments
~Like everyone it seems, I long to write a book. And hope that someone else might find it useful
~I am not one of you who is blessed with small ankles. I guess I failed that test.
~I never want to think or say another negative remark about anyone (isn't that my constant battle. I am always feeling like I need to be better at this. I hope I am improving).
~I love fresh fruit!
~While I don't prefer the term "soul mates" I feel my love, Spencer, is the mate for whom my sould is eternally connected...and that makes me rejoice!
~I could never doubt that I married the right person because of the profound promptings I received (which the spirit can remind me of whenever I ask)
~I never want to have a tv in my bedroom (but I never wanted a huge tv or one in my family room but my sweets has won out on those already. I'm firm about the bedroom one though)
~I would love to be a full-time student for the rest of my life. There are so many majors that interest me
~I have never sworn. (see*below)
~*I have not experienced anything that has been very hard, at least it doesn't seem like it. I really feel like my life has been full of delight.
~I have a talent that I actually think is a weakness now. It's a strange debating/convincing ability that I noticed once when I was playing maffia and decided I didn't enjoy
~If everyone else on earth turned against their belief in the Restored gospel, I would still know it's true. My testimony is my very own now.
~I have big pores..oily too.
~I believe those who struggle with infertility probably have greater faith than me.
~I cried the first time I said "MY children" and realized I was living a dream
~I don't feel I deserve all the blessings that children bring. Children truly are an inheritage of the Lord
~I've always loved being tall but wished I could've done more with it
~No-one could have married into a better family (unless maybe you're my husband)
~I don't have my ears pierced
~One of the worst things I've experienced in life is to be falsely accused.
~My Mom can match my feelings more than anyone else on earth
~I'd love to go back to school and study English
~I anticipate some difficulte challenges to come my way because I need the growth. I am not afraid.
~For most of my life I have tried to "tone down" my enthusiasm because I worried that I would make people feel badly or come acrossed as fake. My Mission President helped me to learn that I shouldn't hide my joy.
~My favorite books (other than church/doctrinal)are historical fiction
~I am not obsessed with weight. I feel really good about myself although I am by no means a small girl. It's all about being healthy! That's what feels good.
~Sometimes I feel like I am looking at myself when I see my sister Kaylie-only she's not apologizing when she fouls someone
~I'd love to go back to school and study design
~I wish heels were more comfortable because I really like wearing them. But, since they aren't, my life can only handle a few pairs
~My brother Mckay is one of the most sensitive people I know...but he hides that under a crazy, fun, sports obsessed- big guy.I love you!
~I wish whole wheat products were as cheap as enriched white
~I am grateful every day that I had the opportunity to serve a mission
~I love to hate what is in style
~If I had it my way I'd have at least 10 children, but I'll take what Father gives us.
~I'd love to go back to school to study journalism
~We rarely go out to eat without a coupon/savings card
~I just had my toe nail removed for the 2nd time. 1st time a basketball stand fell on it, 2nd time a heavy box flattened it
~My hair has gets darker when I am pregnant
~I've always wanted to have darker hair...when I was young I would cover my hair in the sun.
~Natural Childbirth is one of the most amazing emotional experiences and IS the most amazing physical experience I have had.
