find joy in the journey: jumping . .

Hello! My name is Shannon. I live in the desert with my husband Scott and 3 kids (Conner, Payton, Anna). I have been blogging since 2005 and I love to write about my family, everyday life, dating my husband, projects and parties, memory keeping, being a mom, faith, setting and working towards goals, and finding joy in the journey.
Thank you so much for dropping by!

Thomas S. Monson - I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey -- now.

. . . for joy?

More like, jumping to get into mom's picture.

set up about half of the christmas decorations today,
hoping the tree goes up tomorrow,
took the kids' jumbo stockings to have their names embroidered on them,
downloaded a bunch of classic & fun Christmas songs from itunes to make a CD mix for the car (kids currently loving "The Chipmunk Song" by Alvin & the Chipmunks)
loving the big ornaments above my kitchen island - stole the idea from here (then see what she did in january and march)
received our first christmas card of the season in the mail today. Lisa is on the ball!
had rent-a-center pick up the fridge we "rented" for 2 weeks to get us through thanksgiving. I know, it's pretty funny. But completely necessary and worth it. Let me paint you a picture: 3 costco pumpkin pies, a 21 pound turkey, and 6 bottles of Martinelli's . . . plus everything else needed for thanksgiving dinner and entertaining guests for 3 days.
