Family

After reading Leah's post about Hallie, I started thinking about what a wonderful family we have and are so lucky to be a part of. Lots of little stories came to mind. Having 5 brothers and 1 sister who are more protective than any of them will ever admit and loving me even in my stupidity.

Travis who saved me one night when what I thought was a persons head looking in my bathroom window, turned out to be an owl sitting in the window seal. For the thoughtfulness of B. She remembers everyone.

Then there was the time Chad and I were taking out a bucket of ashes from the wood stove and as we dumped it you could see a hot coals burning inside, it scared me and I told Chad we had to stomp them out and Chad did. He stuck his foot right into the bucket to stomp the coal and burned his foot badly. Tara is one of the kindest people that I know. Always concerned about every ones feelings.

Michelle seemed to be my pick me up. Sending a card or calling at just the right time. Reminding me that no matter what things seemed at the time I was going to be OK.

Just after my divorce, Cheyenne took me out with his friend to dinners and comedy clubs. It probably wasn't that fun for him but it was a big deal to me. In his quiet way he helped push me forward. Meredith is so easy to talk to and always listens to what I have to say.

At about 2 A.M. one morning I was awakened by Zeb. Who was so worried about where my life was going that he drove to my house and told me about his concerns, but more importantly that he loved me. Leah has such an outgoing personality and loves to be around the family.

Josh reminds me to keep focused. Know matter what the situation we need to remember that our Heavenly Father loves us and wants what is best for us, and to put our trust in him. Carol is very perceptive, and not afraid to ask a question and give you suggestions to help.

I don't know where to begin when I talk about Dad and Mom. The unconditional love that exists there is heart stopping. Dad and Mom have done more for me than I can ever repay them for in a million life times. There support of me and love even when I wasn't living up to my potential never stopped.

Tyler and Megan are the two sweet spirits that the Lord has blessed me with. It is amazing how we forget about ourselves when it comes to our children. I would do anything for my children to keep them safe and help them understand the important things in life.

Now for the love of my life. Troy makes my heart beat just a little faster, he is the air that I breath, he is the warm sunshine over my body. I am so blessed to have him for my husband. I am so blessed that he loves me. I am so blessed that he wants me for eternity.

I love all of you and am so grateful that you are a part of my life. Love Laura

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Yellow

You're yellow, the color of joy and energy — two things you definitely bring to everyone around you. It's hard for anyone to be sad or lonely in your presence; your sunny disposition and cheery outlook just won't allow it. The warmth of your personality shines through in the kindness you show friends and family (and strangers, too). Always ready with a lighthearted joke or heartfelt compliment, you know how to make people feel good about themselves, so they can't get enough of you. Yellow is a warm and inviting color for a warm and inviting person — you!

What are you?

I had fun with this little test and I am going to have Troy take it as well. I was happy with my results because yellow is my favorite color, and that just shows the mentality of my thought process. For fun I think everyone should take this little test.
