Regan turns 29 today!! Have a great birthday honey! We love you so much!
Since it is his Birthday, as his wife, I have bragging rights:
Regan is such a hard worker! For a year and a half now he has put his heart and soul into his insurance business and worked SO hard! He is such a great dad to Riley and Sunny and a wonderful husband to me! Thanks for all you do for us Regan-Happy Birthday!
Love, Andrea
As many of you know, President Hinckley died tonight, Sunday January 27th. I just wanted to pay a tribute to him because he was such an amazing person and a huge influnce and example on my life. President Hinckley and I share the same birthday, June 23rd so every year I felt so honored to be able to share my birthday with the Prophet and President of my Church. I actually even sent him a birthday card when he turned 90 and I turned 20! He died at the age of 97 and I am 27.
I have mixed emotions because of course it is sad to hear of his passing because we will no longer be able to hear his amazing talks and council, but more than any other feeling, I feel happy for him. His sweet wife died 4 years ago and I just feel so happy to think that he is now with his dear wife, Heavenly Father and Jesus right now. He has been reunited with his eternal companion and he has lived a great life.
I am grateful for the council that I have gained through him and for the example that I will always have. Now when I turn 28 on June 23rd this year, I will definently think of him on the day that we shared!
Today in church, the lesson was on a talk given this past General Conference by Dallin H. Oaks titled Good, Better, Best. After the lesson, I decided to come home and actually read the talk in the Ensign and it was a wonderful talk. It made me really think about the priorities in my life and what is really important to me. Obviouslly my family and especially my kids are the most important because I am the one raising them and helping them along the path of life. I have a deep sense of really thinking about what I would like to change about my life, and cut out the things in my life that are not important to me.
"Some uses of individual and family time are better, and others are best. We have to forego some good things in order to choose others that are better or best because they develop faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and strengthen our families."
If you don't have a copy of the Ensign, you can go to www.lds.org and put in a search for the talk, Good, Better, Best by Dallin H. Oaks. It is a great one!
