Toughen up or die!


Stand close together and lift where you stand

Suck it up, Princess!

Come what may and love it


"Be of good courage, and do it." (Ezra 10:4)

Our good friends Dave and Linda got one of those calls that set your heart pounding and your stomach flipping. Their handsome young son, Cory Fife, was hit by a car, suffering head trauma and broken bones. He was serving as a missionary at the time in Macon, Georgia. His parents jumped on an airplane while his life hung in the balance last Wednesday. He has now stabilized and is responding to verbal commands. They are not sure what the future will hold, but our love and prayers go out to Elder Cory Fife and his family. Here is a link. http://www.eldercoryfife.blogspot.com/

Moving Forward!

I need to write! Expect to hear about the Savages and read some opinions about some issues. Let's get started!

We miss Blaine who passed away on August 4, 2010, but we are moving forward. We are actively involved in life. He wouldn't want it any other way. Life is full of college, high school and home study middle school classes, basketball, racquetball (Yay!), Hawaiian beaches, dreams, plans, Jarah our lovely golden retriever, etc, etc. The Savage family is determined to live with joy, and that will increase as time progresses.

(The source of my joy and their adorable little cousins)

"I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion."-Thoreau in Walden
Yes, it comes from my daughter's blog. I don't think I'll do that too often, but no promises, guys. If you do something good, I'll probably copy it, or brag about it, etc. Congrats to my nephew and niece on the baby that is coming. I have no doubt that you will make wonderful parents. That's all for this one. More next time!
