Crazy tired

This is exactly how I feel today (minus the smile perhaps). We've had colds for over a week and I'd really like to be able to breathe out of my nose again!! I have pretty lame problems - sorry to anyone who has a real problem to sniffle about. (lame puns too) :)

Brian and I got to go to a reunion last night commemorating my Grandma's arrival to Ogden from Holland. Her family joined the LDS church and then immigrated here in the 1920's. My great-grandparents have over 700 descendants now. It struck me that our decisions can have a profound influence on the lives of literally thousands of people - and that's just within the first century of our passing. That's a lot of pressure - humbling but inspiring at the same time. I'm so thankful for all of the good, honest, hard-working people that set the stage for me to be where I am today. Comforting to know we don't have to be famous or do something extraordinary to make a profound contribution to this crazy world we live in.

Well that's my thought for the day...

Boo!

Adam thinks Halloween is the best thing since popcorn. The rest had a great time, too. We went to a neighbor's house for dinner and a fun party (complete with donuts on a string - Tyler was SO fast at that game!) and then went around the neighborhood in a huge group of kids (it's a wonder there was anyone left to answer the doors).

We tried to get the sugar out of their systems this afternoon by going on a hike up Green River canyon with some friends. Tyler still wants to go to Grandma's house for his birthday (next July), but then he wants to go on another hike ("Grandma can help me through the cave if she wants, because mom doesn't like to get dirty" - as if Grandma does!).
