"We would do well to slow down a little, focus on the significant, lift up our eyes and truly see the things that matter most.
Strength comes not from frantic activity, but from being settled on a firm foundation of truth and light.
It comes from paying attention to the divine things that matter most." Elder Uchtdorf

Home at last!

We are officially residents of Pennsylvania... and, crazy as this sounds, one of the things I'm most excited about is that my vote for President will really count! It's hard to feel like my vote matters in Utah, but here it feels like it could make a difference.
So random, I know... what a weird thing to talk about when I haven't posted in over a month and we just moved our family across the country. But, since I just got Internet and TV again after 3 weeks in the dark ages, I'm getting excited about politics. Another story for another day.
Okay, so tonight for dinner we made cornbread in a skillet, and after I took it out of the oven and set it on the counter I was not thinking (as usual), and a few minutes later, I grabbed the handle to put the cornbread on a plate. OUCH!!! Is what my brain told my hand after about 2 seconds of holding the searingly hot metal. OUCH!!! is what my hand has been telling me ever since. Since it was my right hand and I am seriously left-hand impaired, Levi has been the rock-star husband he always is and has been working like crazy while I try doing things like nurse a baby while holding a bag of frozen baby Lima beans. He even went to the store and bought some ice and Dermaplast. The Dermaplast worked on some of the burn, but not on the part that hurts the most because that skin is already dead. Ouch! So, I type a few words and grab my bag of ice for a few seconds and try again. But, I promise I will tell the story of our moving adventure (and boy has it been an adventure!) and post pictures soon.

We love and miss you all!
