Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do...
His 31st b-day present. I had it hidden for an entire week at my aunt/uncles house. Managed to not mention anything that would even hint at the fact that I was at Lowes (which was hard because I found a LOT of things). I came up with a reason to get him out of the house for an extended period of time w/out me. Had it delivered in his absence then slipped away to pick up the cake. Thinking of how to break the news on the way back to the house, I receive a call. He found it! The gate was left open. Sigh.
