One more down

I can't believe another week has passed. I have been such a big slacker as far as this blogging thing goes. It just seems like the days fly by. There is so much going on all the time.
We haven't had one night this week without something going on. I sometimes wonder if I/we spend way to much time just doing things, instead of taking care of what is most important. Last year Elder Oaks gave a talk in GC entitled, "Good, Better, Best" and I worry that I do a lot of good things, and miss chances to do the Best things.
One thing that I have loved is that ever since Ryan and I have been married (almost 6 weeks) is that we have had family dinner together almost every night. Last night Darby commented on how nice it was to sit and eat as a family. While we were finishing getting everything on the table, I stopped to listen to the chatter coming from the dining room, and it kind of made my heart smile. There were the usual comments, "Don't eat yet, we haven't had the blessing," and "That's not what I wanted." But there was also some good conversing about what happened at school, what Zack and Sadie want for their birthdays and several other various topics. Maybe I'll consider family dinner as one of my best things for now, and go forward from there.

Heather, this was so sweet to read. I can't imagine putting the two families together, but couragously, the two of you have done it. I hope your finding enough time for one another as well as one on one time for the kids. My e-mail amylavonallred at yahoo dot com
