I am back!

It has been awhile since I have written. I almost forgot that I have a blog. I need to do better with it and get excited about it again. I can't believe that November is here already. I love this month and the month to come after it. I have so much to be thankful and grateful for. The first is my wonderful and special family. Lyndon is the greatest guy, husband and father. I am so thankful for all that he does for me and his children and grandchildren. I couldn't ask for a better sweetheart. I am also thankful for five wonderful children. They have been a blessing in my life and I love the memories that we have made with each of them, and they are many. I love looking at scrapbooks and remembering all of our fun experiences we've had together. I am thankful for my children's wonderful spouses. They are such great people and I love them. I love my seven sweet and cute grand-children. They are the best and it is so much fun seeing them grow and learn new things. I love it when they are excited to see me and their grandpa. It means alot! Two months ago Lyndon and I decided we wanted to lose some weight and we were going to do it together. It is so much easier when you are eating and exercising healthfully together. Well, I went back to Weight Watchers and Lyndon has been doing it with me. I have lost 18.2 pounds so far and I am 1.2 pounds away from my goal, although I want to be 10 pounds below that. Lyndon has lost 22 pounds. I am so proud of him. He gave up his 64 ounce diet coke that he would drink everyday and has cut back of sweets and is exercising everyday with me. He looks younger and he feels so much better. His goal is to be down 10 more pounds. I have had a darn cold/sinus infection the past almost two weeks and I am sick of it. I think I am at the point where it is going to turn the corner and I am going to start feeling better. I hate being sick. It is the pitts!!! We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and getting to celebrate with family. We are also looking forward to getting together with Lyndon's family on friday and my family on saturday. It will be fun getting to see alot of family we haven't seen in awhile. I have been busy with my calling then the Stake Y.W. presidency and Lyndon has been busy in his calling in the Stake Presidency. Life is good though and we have been truly blessed this past year. I hope the next couple of months are good and that we feel gratitude to our Heavenly Father and our Savior for all that we are richly and abundantly bless with. I love the gospel and my Savior and know that he lives and loves each of us. The challenge is staying faithful, strengthening our testimonies and being converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know we can do it one day at a time. I am also, on this election day hoping and praying that Mitt Romney get elected as President of the United States. We need change and not the change that Obama promised four years ago. It will be interesting to watch the news tonight and see what happens. Well life is good and I am happy! I have been loving this beautiful fall weather, but I know that change is coming and that by friday we will have snow coming down to the valley floor of the Salt Lake Valley. I guess we need it though. Out winter was quite dry last year. We need lots of snow this year. So here is my hello again to everyone and hope to keep up the blog better the next two months and next year.
