Love of family

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.

Life after "The" Wedding!! :)

Well, the big day was a huge success! Brittney Nicole is officially a "Denning"!! The wedding day turned out perfect...except for the 3-4 inches of snow that decided to fall that night! We had a great turn out!

I have the most awesome family..who support me and my kids in everything that we have done!!

We had so much fun at the reception dancing into the night! It was great and it was the essence of Brittney and Jake's personality~~

Thanks to everyone who was there, for your love and support! It is felt and appreciated sooo much!

Just once upon a yesterday I held you in my arms You grew into a little girl With lovely childhood charms Now it seems I only turned around And I see you by his side Oh, I cannot believe my eyes today My Daughter is a Bride I guess somehow I always knew This day would soon be here Still I wonder as I look at you What became of all the years And no words could ever quite express The way I feel inside Oh, I can't believe my eyes today My Daughter is a Bride All the laughter and the teardrops The sunshine and the rain I would relive every moment, Dear If I could bring them all back again But now, my Love, the time has come To send you on your way So I wish you every happiness And the blessings of this day And I hope the love I've given you Will forever be your guide Oh, I cannot believe my eyes today My Daughter is a Bride!!

I'm so proud of my baby girl and the choices she has made.. She has turned her life around and found the most awesome guy ever!! They have the best time together and will make the best celestial family! Im proud of your choices Britt and glad that you had Aunt Nikki and her family to help you back to the gospel and into the waiting arms of Jacob Turner Denning!! We love all of you!

March 4, 2008 A Sad Day in My Life!! :(

He retires holding all of the NFL’s major career passing records, including touchdown passes, passing yards and completions, as well as possibly the most impressive individual career record of all: consecutive starts by a quarterback, at 253.

One of my life goals missed! Seeing Brett play at Lambeau field!! I had the tickets in my hand this season and passed it up!! Yikes!! What a fool!

If you dream it....

I have waited many years to see Bette Midler perform live and on Wed. Feb 20th one of my lifetime wishes came true! I truly believe if you can dream it you WILL achieve it! The show was awesome and I'm still having a hard time believing I was there for opening night in Vegas!

Sad day for the world! :(

So saddened to hear of the loss of our Prophet! He was such a good speaker and spoke in a way that everyone understood. Im sure he will be sooo missed here upon this earth, but what a reunion he must have had in heaven.

"We must not give up. We must not become discouraged.

We must never surrender to the forces of evil....But we

shall not be alone. I am confident that there are millions

of people throughout the world who grieve over the evil

they see about them. They love the virtuous, the good,

and the uplifting. They too will raise their voices and give

of their strength to the preservation of those values which

are worthy of maintenance and cultivation." Pres. Gordon B Hinkley

Let's live to make him proud!!!
