Journal Prompt: Write whatever comes to mind when you read this quote: "Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one." My Journaling: I find this quote to definitely be true. Family is so important - actually the most important thing in the world to me. My husband and kids are my life and they are what make my life complete. Without my family, it would really be hard to even live any kind of life. I also think that FAMILY doesn't have to be blood relatives. I think the people that you most care about and the people who make life complete for you are family too. Also when I think of this quote, I think of the quote that "it takes a village....". I know that the people who help raise my kiddos are so ... [Read More]

Family History TuesdayZ | New Things
Journal Prompt: What was the last new thing you tried? My Journaling: I have a hard time trying new things. Change is a hard one for me. So its hard to think of things that I have actually tried. The only real thing that I can think of is that I love new technologies. I think that's the only thing that I really love trying. My husband and I are pretty good nerds and we love seeing new things come out in technology and we are usually one of the first to try it. For instance - the Chromecast - yea, we were one of the first ones to own that and we love being able to use it to use our tv more. I have a iPhone 6+, we have several game systems, computers, and tablets. Yea, new technologies are a hit at our house. Journal CardZ for this Week - New Things DOWNLOAD LINK Each ... [Read More]

Family History TuesdayZ | Favorite Sports Team
Journal Prompt: Do you have a favorite pro sports team? Why are they your favorite? My Journaling: In high school, I played basketball and volleyball and I loved it. I didn't watch much Pro sports then, but if I did it was Utah Jazz Basketball. Joey is a football fan and so when I married him - football became the sport we watched and I have to admit now that I love it. We have had 2 teams that we have cheered for, mostly because of their quarterback, Peyton Manning. So we were Indianapolis Colts fans and then when Peyton went to play for the Denver Broncos, we followed him. It's been a difficult year for the Broncos and we are anxious to hear what's going to happen. If Peyton retires this year, we might just have to become Colts fans again! :) Journal CardZ for this Week ... [Read More]
Family History TuesdayZ | Falling in Love
Journal Prompt: Describe when you knew your spouse was the one or how you fell in love. My Journaling: I met my husband in January of 1998. I was in college and my husband's best friend was dating one of my roommates. He came over to find his friend and we met. I feel bad, but I don't actually remember the exact meeting. He does and for him he was interested in me from the get-go. I guess I made it a little hard for him and he took the next few weeks to try and grab my attention - coming over to our apartment, fixing things, etc. Finally he just asked me out and I was so surprised. I was so naive. I'd never had a boy like me before and it actually was a little overwhelming and I didn't know how to react. But eventually, I calmed down and within 2 weeks of our first date, we had our ... [Read More]
Family History TuesdayZ | Remember Me
Journal Prompt: List 10 things you would hope to be remembered for My Journaling: I hope not only to have people remember me as these things - I hope to actually BE these things. Some of the things on my list are things that I would like to be, and maybe I'm not there yet. I think by knowing the things that you want to leave for future generations, it will help you to make the right choices to become the person you want to be. If my actions are what others will remember me by, then I might need to change some things that I do! 1. I want to be remembered for being a kind, loving, and caring person. 2. I want to be remembered as an all-service individual. Someone who helps others. 3. I want to be remembered as a good mom and wife - someone who makes her family happy and ... [Read More]
