I get to play basketball on Monday nights after FHE and then I sneak out at 9pm on Wednesdays for some more basketball and then on Fridays Ben brings the kids to watch my soccer games! I LOVE basketball and soccer. I Have The Best Husband Ever to let me be gone for 2 or 3 nights a week ( plus the Visiting Teaching and Enrichment and anything else that might come up – he’s the best). I am so grateful to be able to keep playing and enjoying these sports. I hope that in 30 years I’m one of those ladies with gray hair and still running the field.

The MWC Tournament started yesterday, with 4 games today, 2 games tomorrow and the finals on Saturday. LETS GO COUGARS! and then we jump right in to the NCAA March Madness Tournament – so if I disappear from March 19th until April 6th then don’t worry – I’m fine, I’ll just be in front of my television.

And I’ve been playing basketball once or twice a week. Thank you LaNell for inviting me to play. I love it and I NEED the exercise so it is a win win situation. Make that a triple Win because Ben gets the kids on those nights and he has mastered getting them all 3 to sleep.

I am a relief society teacher and I love it. This has got to be the best calling ever. It is fulfilling. People compliment you and appreciate and make you feel good after you give a lesson. And it is only once a month! the rest of the time you get to sit back and appreciate everyone else. Maybe this will be my eternal calling…

Things that really hit home for me in todays lesson were: 

‘Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.’ [Matthew 5:9.]

 We can cultivate peace by honoring one another and refusing to find fault.  – – Honor One Another – REFUSE to find FAULT! – I believe that there are 2 types of people in this world – The Ones you love and the ones you don’t know yet – it’s hard to blame someone you love and know. Give people the benefit of the doubt!
