Well here you go

I have been told that I need to post so here I am staring at the screen trying to think of something worth posting about. I just looked over and saw my Family 100 class. It is Called "Strengthening our families. An in-depth look at the proclamation to the Family" I'm sure many of you have heard of this book and can i just say I LOVE IT. I highly recommend it to anyone! I took the Family 100 class because it was part of the family cluster for the social work major and thought it would be a breeze. When I bought my textbook for the class, I seriously had my doubts about it being a breeze. It is 400 pages just on the Proclamation to the Family. I mean the proclamation is great and all but it really isn't even a page long after you take out the super sized heading, how can anyone get 400 pages out of 9 paragraphs? Leave it to BYU professors though and really it is one of the best books I have read.

Growing up I always thought about my future family and all the little children I would have. All I wanted in the world was to be a great mom and raise them in the gospel. When the mothers would sit around at whatever social gathering I would sit right with them and listen to all their talk and take it in. I have quite a few journals from my youth that I wrote for the sole fact that when I was raising kids, I didn't want to forget what it was like.

I don't have a family yet but it has an amazing tool to help me prepare. Some of the things I read I am like, "yeah, yeah, I'll come back to that when I am actually married, or actually have kids" But it is still very interesting. So if you want a good read about good parenting, spousing (is that a word?), and family bonding I TOTALLY recommend it. I have learned so much about past relationship blunders and the future relationship I want to have. Yep, it's pretty rad and a breeze! So there you go Liz and Tressa, that is my post for the day.

And For your viewing pleasure.....A Picture.

LOL, I have to laugh at the latter half of your Dad's comment here.

Would you mind keeping the book until you get home and I will buy it from you? You sold me.

HA Eve, you are so right about my dad's comment. HA I am so used to comments like that I pretty much don't catch them any more. Way funny!! And I am keeping the book for the rest of my life but I can definitely bring one home for you. It is awesome, I can't tell you how much I love reading it.

Rach, That is Cynthia Christensen. We took her to some performance at the beginning of the semester and we had a lot of fun.
