Where did March go?

    I am sitting in front of the computer once again wondering why I am keeping this blog going when I am seldom adding anything to it? I read other peoples' and I think they are great and then I come back to look at mine and just shutter. I guess it is a work in progress. I do still love to write just not always on the computer yet.( still use my journal). This month has been very interesting as far as March goes, (in like a Lion and out like a Lamb)? Our weather has been kind of typical for March I suppose, maybe a little less rainy than some years. I know some of us have been wishing for more Spring weather though. With Spring officially here as of the 20th some of our days have been getting warmer and much lighter later. Which has made me much happier. I love the light later in the day, it seems to make me be able to squeeze just a little bit more out of the day. Maybe thats because I hate getting up early and seeing the sun, that makes the day seem way to long (I know that sounded way crazy) I think it is one of those no kids at home, I don't need to get up that early anymore thing? Or maybe I don't want to get up thing? I haven't decided yet, I just know that some days it just doesn't work me getting out of bed early and staying up really late any more. I have been watching Glen Beck a conservative tv host(political) in the afternoons, he is very funny, but he also has a lot of information that you don't hear on the regular tv news stations. I have come to hate watching the normal tv news because most of the time they seem to just skim over the important things and just tell you what they want you to know. Not what is really going on. WoW!!! Our World is going crazy out there and there are a lot of people worried about the way things are. I know that on the whole there are some people that think we have a government in place to help with that, but right now our government isn't doing a very good job. And I think we need to let them know that they aren't doing a good job. We should all be writing or calling our legislators and expressing our concerns over their spending habits and try to get our government to listen to what the people want, not what the polititions want. For too long they have had too much control and its time to take back that control and put it into the hands of the Amercian people. I don't know if you get tired of everything being all messed up but I am.  Well, now that I have that off my chest...I am glad that Conference is coming up. I really need a spiritual feeding. My cup is running on empty lately. Maybe it is the confusing times we are living in I don't know? Maybe it is the longing for answers to the future of our country? Do you think we are getting any closer to the 2nd coming of Christ? It has to be something that others are feeling or have thought about besides me. I am looking forward to hearing all the messages and feeling the spririt that is there. I wish that we could go, but not this time there is too much that is going on just before. My niece Brittany is getting married on April 2nd. We are all so excited for her and her family. They have been planning for months and there is a family dinner the night before and she will be taking her own endowments out in San Diego on Sat. March 28 so this next week is going to be full of lots of family stuff. I can't wait to see her. April 2 is also Josh & Rachel's wedding anniversary , they have been married for 5 years( wow, where did the time go?) That's the second time that one of Glade & Suzanne kids have been married on the same day as one of our kids. Tyler & Melissa were married on the same day as Toby & Raechal (July 7) Funny huh?
Its okay we're keeping it in the family!! :)
