“There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be'"--L. Tom Perry
"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us . . . If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." --President Gordon B. Hinckley
"God the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval or admiration. . . No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God! . . . For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who are--and who we will become." --President Uchtdorf
Last night while we were having dinner, Daniel and I came to the consensus that we are a kind of weird family. Forrest piped in and said that must be why I like him so much, because he's weird and fits in great.
Ha ha. I have to tell you, as I clicked on your blog and the picture came up, my daughter (who can't read yet) was sitting next to me and says "Who is that? He's a wierdo!" so, you got your post title right! =)

I think everyone and every family is weird in their own ways but perfect when the significant other feels like they fit right in :)
Aww! All the best people are weird!
