Oh Yes It Is !!!

I took Grandma Tomi to see the newly announced Provo Temple (my heart still beats faster every time I think of it!) which is literally the skeleton of the Provo Tabernacle- this joyous sign had been posted by someone as happy as me!

Two temples in Provo?
My heart can hardly stand it....

Grandma Tomi Comes to Visit.

Grandma Tomi from Hawaii (that is her official name) is visiting us for a little while and we are enjoying every minute. We don't get much face time with an ocean between us. 

Last night we went to Bridal Veil Falls for dinner...it was gorgeous. Nothing like a waterfall as a backdrop for a picnic...we did some hiking, some strolling, and some playing. 





 It was lovely....not Hawaii lovely, but Utah lovely.
We'll take what we can get.

Another Goodbye.

It's been a few weeks of sweet reunions for the the Labit/Singer family. Last month Grandpa Fred left mortality to be reunited with family and loved ones on the other side of the veil, and this morning Great Grandma Singer did the same. We spent a couple of hours with her last night as she lay peacefully sleeping. There was such a sweet feeling in the room, the same feeling I felt at the birth of each child- where the veil is thin and heaven is close. I couldn't help but feel a little tug of envy, that her life here was finished and she was on the brink of  reuniting with the place my spirit feels such longing for. We will miss her, and always be grateful for the legacy of faith that she has in her two amazing daughters, Grandma Tomi and Auntie Judie.

We love you Grandma Singer.

Theater of the Absurd.

If you have a few moments today, watch some powerful messages from Benjamin Netanyahu's UN speech. 
You can find them here.

What a Difference a Day Makes.

In just a matter of hours my living room went from this:



To this!
We LOVE the new carpet.
Paint, window treatments, and trim are all soon to follow...
