Today I was driving to work around noon and I drove past the cemetery. I noticed an older gentleman standing in his suit by a grave with a flower in his hand. I don't know why but it kind of made me stop and think for a second about the things we take for granted. We have so much in this life and we often don't look at the things that we have and how blessed we truly are.
How great of love this man must have had for whoever was buried there (I'm guessing his wife). I want all of you to know how much I love and appreciate all of you and the blessing I have to have each of you in my life. We'll all grow old one day and I heard that 10 out of 10 people eventually die. However, I'm also grateful for the Plan of Salvation and the blessing we will all have to be together again.
Don't take these things for granted and tell those you love that you love them today.

I love YOU Cayteee!
Thanks for the reminder to appreciate what I have, it's always a good thing to get those reminders.
Oh woops, I put one too many 'e's in your name. You can imagine me singing your name if you want. :)
today a bunch of old people came to our ward for a baby blessing. i love old people, for a lot of reasons. i love watching the way old couples interact and treat each other. anyway, i started to think a lot about the circle of life--all the things that those couples had been through together, how much love they had for each other, the fact that once they had their own newborns and now they were holding great-grandchildren, etc. it is beautiful! I almost cried just watching them. everyday is a gift.
I LOVE YOU!!! Also, its for granted for for granite. I can't help it. Did I mention that I love you? Also, is the ten out of ten people quote from the weird movie we watched on Thursday?
Thanks for making me stop and think about it too. We have so much to be grateful for!
And I wondered if any of Chad's fam would see that post about him!:)
