So Sweet! Congrats! :)

Welcome to the site! Hope you can find much inspiration and many friends here. :)

Hello. Welcome to the site. I'm from Utah. :)

Wow! Thanks for this, MorningStar! You have reminded me that i need to do better at this in my life with my kids. See, this is why i love you! You are so wise and such a good example! :)

Welcome. :) My sister is Catholic.

Welcome and Hello! :)

Welcome to the site! Hope you enjoy it here and hope you enjoy Utah. I live down here in the southern half. :)

This is very interesting. I would say the same thing about my parents. They did not look much alike when they first married but have grown to look more alike. Your mother-in-law sounds an awful lot like mine. Really the only way we look alike is that we are both blonde and blue eyed, although i'm not as blonde as i used to be after having 4 kids.

Hee, hee! Fun stuff!

I have found, in my own limited experience, that a girl tends to want someone "just like daddy" or someone just the opposite. I belonged to the second category. The only way my father was a template for me was in finding someone who was the complete opposite, and i was lucky enough to find him. He looks nothing like my father, but after marriage i did notice some very minor similarities in personality. All in all, though, he is my father's opposite. And i'm not very much like hubby's mother except perhaps somewhat in looks. We have had people tell us how much we look alike, though. Even had someone ask if i was my hubby's sister, haha.

Welcome! How smart is your smartwater?

Welcome! Glad your here and hope you can find some good information here. :)

Welcome! Good luck in overcoming your weakness. I'm sure there will be many on this site that can offer advise. I can offer prayers!! :)

Welcome! Glad your here! :)

Welcome to the site. I'm sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I will be thinking and praying for you. Have you and your husband ever read The Five Love Languages? It is so insightful and might be a good first step. It doesn't sound like your love language is Receiving Gifts. Here is the website: The Five Love Languages

If they get sealed in the temple, then only LDS members worthy to enter the temple can attend. So, yes. But anyone can come to the reception. :)

Indeed. I feel like I needed this reminder and i don't even watch television, just movies and internet. Here's a few more: LDS.org - Ensign Article - It’s “Only†Violence LDS.org - Ensign Article - “But That’s My Show!â€: Weighing the Value of Watching Television LDS.org - Ensign Article - Screening Out the Garbage: How to Teach “Correct Principles†about Television in the Home

Wow!! Very powerful talk by M. Russell Ballard in the April 1989 General Conference: LDS.org - Ensign Article - The Effects of Television

Great article: LDS Living Magazine - TV or Not TV?

Welcome to the site! :)

Congrats! That's great news! Wish i could have been there. I LOVE going to baptisms--the Spirit is SO strong!

I actually just read Anthem a few nights ago. Easy read. Read it in just one evening. Very well written and interesting. It seems to me that while dismissing the Marxist "We" (which i definitely approve), she takes it to the other/opposite extreme. I'll have to read the other 2 to tell what her philosophy is for sure, though. It almost seems like Nietzsche versus Marx.

I LOVE rain (wonder if this has anything to do with my mother being born in Oregon), wish we got more of it in Utah. Oh well, maybe when California drops in the ocean.

You live in Missouri?! You can save me a seat.
