Spring is Here and Coming

Officially it's Spring. But the weather has been cold, gray, rainy, and snowy for several days now. I can't wait until we get some sunshine and warmth! But waiting will make it even more appreciated.
The kids are sick and tired of school and homework. So maybe it's a good thing the weather isn't the best for playing outside. If it was warm and inviting outside I probably would have a revolt on my hands.
We are planning a vacation during Spring Break. We are headed for the Oregon Coast! I'm so excited! The kids can't stand waiting! We are going to play on the beach, tour Japanese gardens, eat in Portland's China Town, climb to the top of lighthouses, hike, explore, and have a wonderful break from the norm. We are renting an RV trailer for our lodgings. Jaremy's been carefully studying routes and maps. I never have to worry about getting lost Jaremy memorizes the map of wherever we are going.
We just need to set some goals that will help us endure happily and productively to the end. I'm going to do a spring de-tox, finish sewing our pioneer costumes, and keep up with the basics. Oh, I'm also going to lose 3 pounds. That should keep me busy and focused!
I'm just as excited for General Conference! To prepare myself for that I want to be caught up on my callings, attend the temple twice, fast for the Spirit, and keep peace in our home. No problem! Well, with Heavenly Father's help I can be spiritually prepared to hear His word and follow His prophet in every detail!
