The Solution

Scrapbooking....is it the the bane of my existence or a cherished hobby?  The answer is yet to be determined. I love working on scrapbooks, and I love watching my kids devour their scrapbooks.  And yet, I don't get as much done as I would like.  I really thought the digital revolution would change me, and make me get stuff done quicker.  I guess it has, when I actually find time to do it.

The solution???  Project Life from Becky Higgins.   Honestly, I just started this new idea/method and I hope it works for me.  The idea is to take a picture a day, and put it in a scrapbook. (There is digital and a hard copy method)  The picture a day thing is sometimes hard for me, but I have done pretty well so far.  Yes, I have missed days!  So what?  I used pictures of things around the house to tell our story for those days...  Like what?  The morning paper to illustrate my love of reading the news, the dirty sink in my kids bathroom, my rainy windshield, etc..

So, what about all those past years I have still waiting for me? Becky also has a scrapbook that has a page per month.  The story still gets told, in a shorter way, but at least it is there.

Day 13

Bj serves others.

This is a picture of him serving me and the kids by making sandwiches for the week.  If he didn't do this, all of our mornings would be much more hectic.

What I don't have a picture of is the other ways he serves.  He attends every move in our ward he is able to.  He happily sets up/takes down chairs and tables at the ward functions.

Quietly and without fanfare, he serves others.  He thinks nothing of it. And, I love him for it.
