Fire pit

I tried to upload a video, but for some reason I can't upload videos anymore. My camera must be set on too high of resolution or something. This past weekend we got a visit from some fun friends. Chad and Rachel Meynders are from our stake in Washington, but now they live in North Carolina. They came to visit for the weekend and we had so much fun! We went to Sandy Creek Park Friday and played some clue that night, then Saturday morning we played in a softball game, then while Jeff mowed the lawn, Chad built this amazing trail and fire pit! We LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! We can't wait until winter when it will be cold enough to enjoy the heat of the fire:) We had to try it out though, so even though it was 80 degrees out, we roasted hot dogs and the girls went back and forth from the swimming pool to the fire. It was so fun! We can pretty much camp in our backyard now!

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.
