The Gospel Truth

I loved this quote by President Joseph F. Smith, which Elder Oaks referenced during his CES Fireside address last week. It makes me love my Church even more. 


Joseph F. Smith: “We believe in all truth, no matter to what subject it may refer.  No sect or religious denomination in the world possesses a single principle of truth that we do not accept or that we will reject.  We are willing to receive all truth, from whatever source it may come; for truth will stand, truth will endure.” [Gospel Doctrine, Deseret Book, 1939, p. 1.]

I have some mediocre pictures from my birthday celebration, featuring 25 flavors. I'm a little wiped out today after 30 hours straight of babysitting G & W, but I feel the need to document via blog.

The dinner spread. I love pizza. 

My favorite flavor: vanilla, vanilla. The birthday cupcake has fruity sprinkles on it. :)

This was not from the birthday celebration, but it was on my camera so I threw it in. My ward organized a Potomac River Cruise this last weekend. They rented out a whole boat.  Robin moved out here recently so we were able to go together.

Stable Hemlines!

This NYT article was so inspiring to me.  The consistently featured length for S/S 2012 is long enough to not worry about garments showing but it can be, as the article states, disarmingly sexy.

I want to go buy a slew of dresses and skirts. One thing I learned from my clothing fast last year was that it's not worth it to have items in your wardrobe that don't fit quite right. This goes for dresses/shirts that are too short. It's not worth the tugging, slipping and constant fear that someone can see your white garments peaking out. I look forward to the seasons when fashion gives us modest LDS women a break.
