Three years and going strong...

Can you believe that David and I have been married for 3 years now?? Wow, that went by so fast! We just celebrated our 3 year anniversary (May 4th) yesterday by renting a canoe and going on a nice little boat ride on the lake by our house. We got to relax in the sun and pop open some bubbly as we toasted to another 75 years of blissful marriage. Getting Married=best decision of my life! I love you babe.

Happy Mother's Day...my first official experience!


Happy Mother's Day to all those mom's out there and also to those mom's to be! This morning I woke up to breakfast in bed - hashbrowns, eggs, strawberries, oranges...the works - and sitting next to my meal was an adorable little onesie for little Coleman to wear in just under 7 weeks! David is such a good man and will make an incredible dad. How did I get to be so lucky??

The Book of Mormon/YouTube Challenge

This video is amazing!! Take the challenge and let's make this inspiring video reach as far as we can.

On May 3, 2010 - If all who see this message will follow the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkKblIMfmjI and watch the YouTube video of Jeffrey R. Holland bearing testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon, we could potentially achieve promoting that video to the YouTube homepage, based on volume of views.



TIPS ON HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS:

1 increased views - multiples views by one viewer count
2 comments - the more comments, the more valuable Youtube sees your video. Comments almost carry as much weight as views.
3 favorites - everyone needs to "favorite" the video.
4 thumbs up - **please take special care to do this as a group of individuals have banned together to "thumbs down" and this can negatively affect the popularity of the video.
5 subscriptions - daily subscriptions have a major impact on popularity. This also has longterm impact on the future videos coming to the channel because they will get emails from Youtube letting them know when MormonMessages posts new stuff.
6 reshare - post the video as a link on your profiles bearing testimony, and also make comments after friends' link so that it shows up in the news feeds, post to blogs and twitter. The more activity surrounding the video the more attention it will receive.
