Too Many Choices

Pickin' and Choosin' can be hard!

In June our Broadway Bound actress,

Mya Marshall,

stared in The Aristocats.

I had to miss her great performance, because on the very same weekend, arrangements had been made to attended the Mormon Miracle Pageant with this group of fine folks.

Many times we have to pick between Good, Better, Best.

However, in this case, there was no good, better or best. Both of the choices were really great!

I'm sorry I missed little miss Mya this time, and I am anxiously waiting to see the DVD. But, it was great to travel to Manti, and watch the pagenant with Torie, Tara, Sarah, Bradley, Jamison, Conley, Ann, Tyler, Coulson, Sarah, and Katherine.

Beautiful Torie

She started it...

Happy Birthday

Torie Lisa Marshall - Eleven-years-old TODAY!

Please slow down, Father Time.

This sweet girl can't be turning nine.

Just a minute ago, she was eight.

Oh my, it's getting late!

Mirror Mirror on the wall,

Who's the sweetest girl of all?

Tara!

Happy Birthday Tara!

WALK...

I went walking...

DOB ~ 26 June 2006

This morning, I walked to the Post Office to mail a little birthday gift to Miss Megan. On my way back to work, I passed a young man, going the opposite direction. He was probably about 30 years old. We made eye contact, and I smiled and said hello. He stopped in his tracks. He said that as he had been walking, he had passed by at least 30 people in the past five minutes, and I was the first to even smile at him. Then he said: "I'm from Ohio!" I said: "Well, welcome to Las Vegas." He said: "Thanks!" And, he walked away with the biggest smile on his face. I'm a big believe in the words to this poem:

It Shows in Your Face

You don’t have to tell how you live each day;

You don’t have to tell if you work or play;

A tried and true barometer stands in its place—

You don’t have to tell, it will show in your face. …

If you live close to God and His infinite grace—

You won’t have to tell, it will show in your face.

Last year at Women's Conference, the Young Women General President, Elaine Dalton asked the women of the Church to do three things, and one of them was SMILE. No kidding!

Oh Donny!

~I LOVE DONNY~

If I've asked him once, I've asked him fifteen times: "Please get me a ticket to see Donny." Finally the boy came through, and he came through in a big way. We had great seats. Not only did he get me a ticket, he got lots of tickets. I got to see the show with Sarah and Anthony and Doug and Janice. Sam even grabbed a ticket for himself. AND, Sam admitted to me that he enjoyed the show.

Sam the Man! So handsome. THANK YOU!

I had a great time.
It was so much fun to be at the show with beautiful Sarah.

Look at this patriotic family on Flag Day.

Sarah is patiently trying to get Bradley to cooperate for a family photo. Conley is thinking what are we doing? Anthony really should be looking at the camera, and adorable Jamison is telling Anthony to look at the camera. I love this photo, but more than that, I REALLY LOVE the people in this photo. AND I love the USA.

I am workin'

I am so thankful for my job!

A Man I Admire

Today funeral services were held for Truman G. Madsen. I loved this man! I’ve read his books, and I’ve attended lectures he gave at BYU Education Week, and at Women’s Conferences. I marveled at his incredible intellect, and so admired the way he was living such a Christlike life.
In May 2001, Terry’s generous Aunt Darlene invited me to go to Israel. One night, after a day of wonderful site seeing, I walked down to the hotel lobby to mail a postcard home. There sitting in the lobby, by himself, was Brother Madsen. He was in Israel, as the guide of a small tour group. I was with another small tour group, with a different guide. I decided to not be shy, and for the next few minutes I sat and talked with Brother Madsen. We talked of Jesus. It was a wonderful experience.

At Brother Madsen's funeral, President Henry B. Eyring, Elders Jeffrey R. Holland, Richard G. Scott, Dallin H. Oaks and Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve, family friend Steve Young, and family members spoke. WOW! That’s quite the lineup!

Ann Madsen, Brother Madsen's wonderful wife once said this of her husband. Despite his impressive scholarship and prominence, he saw no distinctions between people. In Jerusalem, for example, he was equally at home among the heads of state, and the people who cleaned the floor at the BYU Jerusalem center, or took care of the gardens. I find that SO admirable, and I’m pretty sure that’s what the Lord wants us all to do. I'm working on it! I'm trying to be like Jesus.
