Dating Organized

Happy Birthday to Quin!

I find it really hard to shop for an early January birthday. So if I don't find Quin a present while I'm Christmas shopping, it just doesn't happen. Luckily, he's a man of few material wants...coupons and certificates seem to make him as happy as anything. :)

I'm really excited about this year's gift--a dating schedule. We're specifically planned for the next two months AND have an outline for the rest of the year. Ang and Bruce nicely agreed to accompany us on some of our excursions--should be a lot of fun!

Here it is:

Christmas Vacation 2011

This is what I spent the better part of four days doing after the Christmas festivities were over. Yikes.


I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The words and the idea of children looking toward God for the big board were the Primary President's inspiration. So great. Amy and Rachel were a huge help on colors and placement. Wow, am I glad it's done. It's just a bulletin board...but a project way outside of my comfort zone!

This is a one-of-a-kind painting of the Council in Heaven by Robert Barrett that you can get through the BYU Bookstore.

Sure appreciate the models and photographer that created this image of Children looking toward God. :)
