Life is Great!

Life is better than good.... Life is great.

Being surrounded by dear family and friends is what it's all about.

The following photos are from last weekend at the Orlando LDS Temple.

We enjoyed attending Beth and Ryan's sealing and being with treasured friends and family.

Ron, Shauna, Don, Jan, Ron, Cathy We LOVE each other, have been through thick and thin together, and intend to go through whatever else comes our way-TOGETHER!
My dad, Boyd, My mom, La Dene, Me, my husband, Ron! Born of goodly parents and married to the best man in the world! My dad is a sealer in the Orlando Temple and performed the sealing of Beth and Ryan! Incredible experience..even if I was just an observer!

The crew outside the temple. Rhineharts, Smarinskys, Mills, Hostetlers, Best, Borchardts! Baby Ava is on the way!!!

Shauna, Jan, Cathy
Oh, the laughs we have had, oh the tears we have shed. Thankfully--together. God chose the most incredible friends for me!

Cathy and Shauna and the Orlando LDS Temple. What a treasured friendship. She could move to the other side of the world and I would feel totally close and connected to her. We just "get" each other!

The complete support system!

Jan, Cathy, Shauna, and Lorna. This is the most incredible support and safety net a person could have! Awesome women, awesome friends, awesome sisters. My family! There is nothing we would not do for each other!


One question??? Glasses or not? Actually, I don't have much of a choice with each passing day!

Good Friends

We enjoyed a visit from Keith, Jeffrey, and Melvin last weekend. Keith and Jeffrey have been friends since birth. Melvin moved here 10 years ago and they have been friends ever since. Each one is living in a different area of the country. When we can get them all home at the same time, it is a bonus.

What a blessing to have friends who are like family.

All three boys served LDS Missions and are making great decisions in their lives. They are focused in positive directions.

We had a great time laughing and reminiscing about days gone by. So many memories...Cub Scouts, Lego-mania, Rick E, Mc Donalds, Florida Keys boat trip, Seminary, Tom at the window, Eternal "Groundation", learning the last names of girls-before you kiss them, Eagle Scout Projects, EFY, Dances, and a life time of fun! The memories will continue to build and collect as these three continue on life's path!

My older children are at the age that when they get together and start sharing stories..... I get to hear to complete story of what was really going on when they were together! Ha!
