Good day! Eclipse, snow cones with the girls and their friends, and we threw back to school bedtime out the window and went to a BYU soccer game. (110 minutes of soccer and 0 goals.) Oh, and a big thank you to the random lady who gave us some free tickets. I saw my BYU college friend and coach Tammy (Horning) Crandall. And Cam looked so cute going to 7th grade day. Plus it's President Monson's bday (90 years). Here's some quotes from a BYU Speech of his titled "Great Expectations":
"Good habits are the soul's muscles. The more you use them, the stronger they grow."
"In the game of life, a second effort is often required. The happy life is not ushered in at any age to the sound of drums and trumpets. It grows upon us year by year, little by little, until at last we realize that we have it. It is achieved by a body of work done so well that we can lift our heads with assurance and look the world in the eye."
"Follow the example of Christopher Columbus. Take a leaf out of the log of his journal on his first voyage. Day after day, as they hoped to find land and never found it, he wrote simply, 'This day we sailed on.' Perseverance will pay rich rewards."
"Remeber that when you help another up a mountain, you are a little nearer the top yourself."
