Happy 30th birthday to me!

I know these are all a little out of order but I wanted to get them in anyway. On April 12th I celebrated my 30th *GASP* Birthday! I never thought I'd get this old. I remember when we first moved into our house my visiting teachers came over and we were all talking about age. They were talking about how they were 30 and I thought...aww man, that is SO FAR off for me! (I was 21).

Now here we are. And yes, I'm now officially old. I really enjoyed being 29. I thought it was a great age. Every older person always jokes that they are 29, right?

And its too bad that I didn't blog about this sooner... because I can barely remember what I did that day.... its old age.

I know I went to the Living Planet Aquarium with my sister and cousin. We took the boys and they loved it! We then went to Carls Jr and ate and talked a good two hours. I bet places love it when people stay that long...NOT! All I really wanted to do on my birthday was TAKE A NAP. But no one believed me. I was dead serious. And no, I didnt get my nap! Maybe next year.

I came home and my parents came over. I got some great gifts. One of them being .... a... BUFFALO HEAD. Oh yeah, so excited. I could barely contain the tears of... joy? Is that what you would call them? Well, I don't call them that. Scott was excited tho. And it wasn't actually my present. It just happened to be the day they got it back from the taxidermist. Lucky lucky me. But it does make the boys in this house pretty happy.

My parents took the whole family to Tepanyaki. They had to take out a small loan, Im sure.

All through dinner Chase kept gagging like he was going to throw up and in my head all I could think about was him projectile vomiting all over the grill. So I kept running him to the bathroom. He wouldnt puke. So I would take him back and he'd start all over again. So Id run him back into the bathroom. I spent most of my time in the bathroom with him.

We then took the kids to Baskin Robins for the 1st time to get ice cream. Or course, they loved it!!

It was late by then and we came home where Chase proceeded to puke the rest of the night.

We really know how to party 'round here!

I belong

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
