My Baby Brother

Today my baby brother as ordained as a deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood. He is such a good looking boy isn't he? This picture of taken at my wedding last year,m and I just think he is adorable. Although I was not able to go home for the ordination because of work this week, I am really proud of Michael and the good example he is to me and to our family. Being the youngest of five kids (4 older sisters) has got to be challenging sometimes, but he is such a sweet kid and we just love him to death! Again, I am just so proud of my baby brother and the good person that he chooses to be. I love you, buddy!

Where did summer go?

So I was looking at the calendar today and I realized that school starts up in three weeks. THREE WEEKS FROM TODAY!! What the heck? Where did summer go? I am amazed at how fast time has flown... and I am deeply concerned that classes are starting up so soon. I thought that summer was a time to relax and recover from the previous school year. Well forgive me, but I do not feel ready for classes at all. First of all, Kyle is starting the Junior Core and I will never see him anymore. I told him that I feel like I am being demoted from dearest wifey to housekeeper. Second, one look at my schedule is enough to send me into therapy. Physics, microbiology, exercise physiology... WHA???? To say the least I am very intimidated by the schedule I will soon be facing. I wish that it could be summer all year round!

How Great Thou Art

Oh Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made;
I see the stars,
I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art,
How great thou art.
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art,

How great thou art!

And when I think
That God, His son, not sparing;
Sent Him to die,
I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross,
my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art,
How great thou art.
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art,
How great thou art!

When Christ shall come,
With shout of acclamation,
And take me home,
What joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow,
In humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art,
How great thou art.
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to thee,
How great thou art,
How great thou art!
