"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

New "look"

So, I guess I was bored today because I found this really cute background and decided that our blog needed a new look. (Mel, I hope you don't mind that it's all "girly" now)


As far as other things go, we had a great time at the family reunion (if you ignore all the mosquitoes and all the rain, and the fact that we left early because of them!).
Mel and I had fun riding the ATV's and hiking around the lake, and most of the rest of the family had fun sleeping in the lake (as in, their tents became lakes because it rained all night). Our tent actually held up pretty well, but by morning there were about three spots where the rain had soaked through and was dripping on us.
So, on our way home, as we were driving through Salt Lake, there was a GEORGEOUS rainbow. I've never seen one so bright! It was double all the way around.
