You don't raise heroes, you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes. -Walter Schirra Sr.

Just about ready
So the car is packed and I will be heading out to AZ in just a few hours. Tonight I will stop at Jason's House in Midland. Then up early and hopefully I will make it to AZ on Saturday. We cant wait to see everyone it has definitly been way to long. Anyone that wants to call and talk feel free to call it is going to be a very long drive. We love you all and cant wait to see you very soon!
So how was your trip to Yuma? You're back right? I hope you had a good time! We are leaving in a week! I am so excited it will take us two days to drive so that i'm not looking forward too! Hope you are doing good!!
" I dont want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair perfectly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking the kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing sister Schenk's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a litte dirt under my fingernailsfrom helping to weed someones garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that i really lived." -Marjorie Hinkley
"You have nothing in this world more precious than your children. When you grow old, when your hair turns white and your body grows weary, when you are prone to sit in a rocker and meditate on the things of your life, nothing will be so important as the question of how your children have turned out. It will not be the money you have made. It will not be the cars you have owned. It will not be the large house in which you live. The searing question that will cross your mind again and again will be, How well have my children done?"
~President Gordon B. Hinckley
