Romans 12: 21

21 Be not overcome of evil, but ^aovercome evil with good.


This is my theme scripture for the year, now the question for me to ponder is how do I overcome evil with good? What am I to do?

August has brought alot of going ons...

Early August went to 20 week ultra sound and found out we are having our 5th girl! 
The week after Richele went to the denist and had a 31/2 hour miserable ordeal to get some fillings and a molding for a crown.

next week preperations for school start or should I say continue for Justin

This week August 21,2012 the first day of school brings craziness and excitement, as well as lots of pressure on Justin and Richele.

Next weekend we are going to the Brigham city Temple open house for Labor day weekend, it will be a nice break.

5 more weeks!!!

Five more weeks until school is out, but will it really be a break?? Probably not Justin has lots of conferences to go to and we will probably really only have 2- 4 weeks of break, but still it is exciting. I wonder what this next year will bring...

J and R Gudmunson family doings: Looking Up

Look to God and Live, Pres. Monson

Life is good in Ferron Utah

I am so loving Spring! I know there is suppose to be a storm saturday and sunday but it can't last and the sun will come back Monday. We are getting the ground ready to plant our garden, Spring can only bring a new brightness of hope! There is only one semester left of school how great is that! :):):):):) c: C:

Looking Up

I had a rough day yesterday, but today is looking up, which reminds me of a quote by President Monson and   also a   book called "Look At the sky" by George Durrant  After our baby Jacob died I wrote this quote along with Families Are Forever and Trust in the Lord on our white board  in our kitchen to remind myself and my family that our baby Jacob is not lost to us, And also to remind us to of course Trust in the Lord; he knows best.  Even after the days where I  cry all day it seems and there have been a few, I just try to remind myself of those things and that things can only get better. Through this all it has brought my mom's death back fresh even though that was over 12 years ago, time lessons the heart ache but we will always miss those who have passed before us, I suppose the key is to try to always remember we will be with them again some day. " God be with us till we meet again, till we meet till we meet at Jesus feet."

update

We are doing well, Justin still struggles with getting enough sleep and trying to make it through his first year of teaching.  Richele has found peace through the knowledge of the plan of salvation,  to all the girls except Angelica its almost like our baby dying never happened, Erik however struggles a little, to have his only brother die was rough on him. All in all however we are doing good, and we all are so looking forward to this summer.  Which will be filled with work and a litle play, We are planting a garden for an army, but look forward to the canning at the end and enjoying the fruits of our labors.
