O for a horse with wings! ~ William Shakespeare


Today, I attended the Brighton branch up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It's so gorgeous up there! There's something really special about being in a chapel with enormous glass windows facing right into a snow-covered mountain slope dotted with evergreens. You can see God's hand, right there. We attended the branch with our Pace cousins, which means we got to spend time with baby Olivia and Bradshaw. They are so adorable. I gotta be honest - between the mountain that was close enough to touch if the glass weren't there and a smiling, pretty little girl, I had a hard time paying attention. But when I did, it was wonderful. The branch presidency spoke so I feel we were there for a really inspired meeting.
Later, when I was back at home, I decided I wanted to update my laptop's music (because all my old, good stuff is on the family computer) so I went through all my family's old CDs. My mom used to be cool! She has all these original CDs from Duran Duran, Creed, U2, INXS, Sting, etc. I feel like I hit a jackpot! I guess as I've aged I've gained an appreciation for the "classics" and now I see my mom in a different light. At least a little bit. :)
