Lake Powell August 2007

Ahhhh Lake Powell! It is our favorite place in the whole world. Isn't it beautiful. We only had a day and a half at Lake Powell when we were supposed to have three days originally. It was one of our funnest trips probably because we lived it up the whole trip and we didn't have to worry about Josh(he was with my family in Idaho). Our plans changed when my grandmother (who is the most amazing woman) passed away the day before we flew out to Utah, so we were in Idaho for her viewing instead of Lake Powell. I miss her sooooo much!!!!!! It has been hard, but I'm grateful to have the gospel and know that she is happy right now and that she can now be with her husband and other family members that have passed on.

My HOT Husband!!!

Lake Powell and the Water Weiney(sp)

I like the water weiney, but I'm afraid to get hurt because every time I get really hurt. So, if I'm on a tube it has to go really slow. My passion is slalom waterskiing, there is no better feeling as gliding on the water and I love that it is hard work!

It's so fun to watch John and his brothers (Gary, Nate, & Scotty) and sister(Becca) on the water weinie. They have so much fun and are the biggest goof balls, it's hilarious. They do all sorts of tricks like doing flips off the weinie to playing leap frog.

This is a picture of me (Marie) waterskiing, can't you tell :). John took several pictures and all of them were blurry. Take a look at the pictures of John waterskiing, they're actually in focus, well at least you can tell that it is John.

FAVORITE QUOTES

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let out own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

-Marianne Williamson

We must become the change we want to see

-Ghandi

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

-Ghandi

The secret to having it all, is knowing that you already do.

Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life... What could you do better for your children and your children's children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?

-President Spencer W. Kimball

The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.

-Marjorie Pay Hinckley

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

-Sam Levenson

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

The journey is the reward.
