ERAC Halloween

Brianna and I visited Brian at his office to see their Halloween get-up and show off Brianna's. She gets SO excited when I tell her we're going to visit Daddy at work. I love how she says "Daddy werk vizit!" We don't go visit him very often because it's kindof pointless - he's always SO busy. I have to remind myself of the fact that he's been running around like crazy for 10+ hours when he gets home and doesn't wanna do anything but relax :) Here he is with two of his employees:

Sarah and Carly are cowgirls and Brian is an oilfield worker. He loved his costume. I didn't really understand what was so exciting about it. And obviously, the camera didn't love the glare off the reflective strips. Carly and Sarah are really nice and great at car rental. It's just annoying that Brian works with two really pretty girls. It motivates me to try and look good when he gets home. Silly, I know.
Overall, Brian's business is going really well here in Cedar. We're SO lucky we got out of Vernal when we did - a lot of people have moved out and companies have shut down. Brian left there with like 65 vehicles in his fleet (he had started with 10 sixteen months before, when we arrived) and now I think the office has less than 40. His office here in Cedar has around 70. This is important because he makes commission off his fleet. So more cars = more travel funds. Or food on the table, whichever. At the temple on Saturday Brian was asked by a worker what he majored in at SUU. Broadcasting, he told them. He was then asked if he was planning to eventually get back into it. Nope, Brian said, "I'll rent cars til I die."

summer said...: I had a hunch Brian loved his job - but that is serious dedication. He needs to come out and put in a rental car in NYC...we could use a few more, and the prices are insanely high. Ask him if he's heard of ZipCars....we signed up and went for a spin in one of those little gems to Costco last week. I'll be putting on a post soon about it...I'm behind and trying to catch up on my posts!

and ps. You are the one Brian is in love with and are super gorgeous...hello I don't know many mama's of an almost 2 year old that look like you do! I as well sometimes get crazed over people that Bryson works with or was around a lot in school. As one of my friends simply put it - 'I know my husband is honest and that I'm the only one for him, and well if I'm not...then I will take everything from him and he knows it.' I did get a chuckle from that :); November 5, 2009 at 10:48 PM

Quotes I want to remember

"The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain."
- Neal A. Maxwell

"It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters. We become enamored with men's theories such as the idea of preschool training outside the home for young children. Not only does this put added pressure on the budget, but it places young children in an environment away from mother's influence."
-Ezra Taft Benson

“Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Live the gospel as conspicuously as you can. Keep the covenants your children know you have made. And bear your testimony! Don’t just assume your children will somehow get the drift of your beliefs on their own.
-Jeffrey R. Holland

"We hold in our arms the rising generation. They come to this earth with important responsibilities and great spiritual capacities. We cannot be casual in how we prepare them. Our challenge as parents and teachers is not to create a spiritual core in their souls but rather to fan the flame of their spiritual core already aglow with the fire of their premortal faith."
-Neil L. Andersen

"Certainly there are times when getting the family together to read the scriptures does not stack up as a spiritual experience worthy of a journal entry. But we must not be deterred. There are special times when the spirit of a son or daughter is just right and the power of these great scriptures goes down into their heart like fire. As we honor our Heavenly Father in our homes, He will honor our efforts."
-Neil L. Andersen

President Hinckley admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the society in which we live if every father . . . and . . . mother regarded [their] children . . . as gifts from the God of heaven . . . and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.’ ”
-Susan W. Tanner

"Children are like trees. When they are young, their lives can be shaped and directed, usually with ever so little effort. Said the writer of Proverbs, 'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it' (22:6). That training finds its roots in the home. There will be little of help from other sources. Do not depend on government to help in this darkening situation. Barbara Bush, wife of former U.S. president George Bush, spoke wisely: 'Your success as a family, our success as society, depends not on what happens at the White House, but on what happens inside your house.' "
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.”
-Henry B. Eyring

“Reverent behavior is not a natural tendency for most children. It is a quality that is taught by parents and leaders through example and training. But remember, if reverence is rooted in love, so is the teaching of it. Harshness in our training begets resentment, not reverence.”
-Margaret S. Lifferth

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
- M. Russell Ballard

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’?”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Security for our families comes from learning self-control, avoiding the excesses of this world, and being temperate in all things.”
-Kent D. Watson
