Stars in the heavens...

I got up at 5:30 this morning. I usually look out the bedroom window to see if I can see the stars. There is something so awe inspiring about looking up in the night sky. I wasn't disappointed. The stars in the heavens this morning were brilliantly shining. It actually took my breath away. Orion was right there just outside my window. I wish the boys would have been awake to see it. Once I figured out the constellations - I have always enjoyed watching for them.

Things like this make me wonder how anyone can deny that we have a loving Father in heaven!

I love looking at stars too. A few years ago there was a meteor shower, I layed out in the front yard watching it. It was pretty awesome!!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
