This is a picture of the moon rising on a clear, winter evening. I love looking at the moon.

My sister, Joy, was nice enough to come over today and help me do some cleaning and organizing in my craft room. She is so nice to me! I am so thankful for my dear sister!

I am not feeling well today. I thought I was getting over this cold, but it seems to be trying to call for backup and take over my airways. Ugh! I don't like having a cold. I'm so whiney when I don't feel well. Poor Mike has to put up with me and he does it so cheerfully, too! :.)

continuing with Joanie

Joanie met Mike in the early fall of 1987. Joanie was very blessed to have met him and she is still blessed to have him around her every day!

This picture was taken around April of 1990 when Joanie was pregnant with their second daughter, Erika. What an active baby she was before she was born! And, she continued to be very energetic afterwards, too! Mike and Joanie are extremely blessed to have their two beautiful girls, Becky and Erika. They wouldn't trade their sweet daughters for anything!

Joanie is so thankful for her eternal family!

Ok. I'm done talking in the third person... :.) I am truly grateful to my Heavenly Father for blessing me to be sealed to my family for eternity. Mike has been so wonderful for me ever since I met him. He is calm and patient and doesn't worry. He has been gently teaching me these things since the beginning of our relationship. I, honestly, do love him more every day!

Becky and Erika are so kind and loving. I am very thankful that they have turned out this way! I love my girls SO MUCH!!!
