Georgia Rain!!!

So it has rained about five times since we moved here to Georgia three weeks ago. I absolutely LOVE it when it rains! It is so warm and it gets all misty. I was hoping to capture it on video, but you can't really tell, plus this was one of the days it was a lighter rain. Also, I kind of got our front and backyard and a little of our house so you can see where we are living:) We really like our landscaping because it reminds us of Washington. And the lady we rent from pays someone to come do the lawn and pest control! It is awesome:)

I was thinking about college football, and now Eli won't have someone who shares his passion for the Huskies to watch the games with! I guess he will will just have to get Grady to like them. We really want to come and visit sometime. That would be so fun! Love you guys!; July 30, 2008 at 12:43 AM

Our Testimony

Jeff and I are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and we wanted to share how grateful we are for that blessing. We believe the Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God and we learn so much as we read from them. We know that families can be together forever, even after death, if we choose to make that covenant with God in his holy temple. We believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and was led by God to restore the truth on the earth. He went through so much persecution and dedicated his life so that we could have the Gospel of Christ today. We also believe President Monson to be our prophet today, we believe he communicates with God and leads us to live good lives so we can return to live with our father in heaven once again. The more we pray, read the scriptures, and learn about the gospel, the more we feel the holy spirit in our lives. As we do these things we can see our lives and our marriage being blessed and our happiness increased. We know we have made so many mistakes in each of our lives respectively and we are so amazed that our savior Jesus Christ can help us to be forgiven for those things. We love the joy and happiness that the gospel of christ brings us everyday. Jeff even dedicated two years of his life to sharing that truth because he believes in it so much and wanted to bring other people that happiness. I am so thankful that he made that sacrifice because I can see the blessings that came from it. We are not posting this to try to force our views on anyone, we just wanted to let everyone know how thankful we are for the Lord's blessings and for his guidance in our lives. We have also been so blessed with amazing family and friends to give us support and love along our way. Thank you being there for us and thank you for letting us share our love of Christ and our testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
