Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

I am behind.

I know, I know we haven't posted for ever. Life is BUSY as always. We had a great weekend last week. Ryan and I and Rick and Amy and their other couple friends went to dinner at Hibachi (Something). It was VERY yummy and then after visiting for a few hours we went to see "Confessions of a shopaholic" We really liked it. We want Kathryn to see it because she is a "spender". Anyway it was a really fun date.

My class is busy crazy. I had evaluations last week and this week I'm busy getting ready to leave next Thursday. To the Bahamas. Yippee!
I also had a date with Rebecca on Saturday. Just her and I shopped and hung out. It was fun. It is hard to remember that she is my baby and is 8.5.
Oh well recess is over. See ya soon. Kerri

The medallion Dinner

The Medallion Dinner

Tonight we had to go to my medallion dinner it was a blast!:) But before we went around 4 o'clock my mom called and wanted to see if I wanted to go and get my hair done for tonight, well I figure this kind of opportunity doesn't come across my path very often so I begged and pleaded for my dad to drive me to Fantastic Sam's to meet mom. and after 1 minute of begging he said I guess. And so I got my hair in an updo style. We got back from the salon about 6 and it started at 6:30 so we had to hurry. W got there and it was all decoratated gorgeous, we were directed to our seats. And for the first course they had this strawberry, peanut, salad it was really delicious! Then once we were done with that our servers (other young women leaders from our ward) took our plates and the brought us a baked potato, and this yummy chicken. Then we went into the chapel for the young womenhood awards. So as they called everybody up by wards you were given a gift and a certificate. Next you would go and shake/hug (our stake for some reason always hugs no matter what!) the stake president and his two counselors. Well when I got to him he shook my hand looked down and saw I had writing on it. And he said 'What is this?' and I responded 'You said we could at the Q&A fireside.' he smiled and then I went and sat down.

Then we found out that he had retracted his remark and that the wards were supposed to read a letter telling us that but ours hadn't yet. Oh well it was funny.
Oh for dessert they had this ice cream sandwich layer thing that was sooooooo yummy!
It was a really fun night and I FELT LIKE A PRINCESS!
