Happy Birthday to my One and True Love

Today is a special day in the Morrill family.  Today we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior and His victory over death.  Because of his great sacrifice, we can all live again and return to the presence of our Heavenly Father.  This is a really neat time of the year when Spring is coming (or should be) and everything is coming back to life.  We went to St. George this weekend to visit some of our old friends and neighbors and it is warm and beautiful and green there right now.  It was fun to see it.  I'm so grateful for my Savior and all that he has done for me. 

Another special event today is my sweetie's birthday.  I won't tell you how old she is, but my birthday is in February and I'm currently 31 years old.  Sharon is two months short of being 4 years older than me.  You do the math, but I didn't tell you her age.   I think it's very appropriate for Sharon's birthday to be on this special day.  I don't think it was an accident that Sharon's birthday is during this special time of year.  She is such a wonderful example of a good person who sincerely tries to follow the Savior.  Sharon goes out of her way to be kind to others and to be like the Savior.  Sharon always notices people who are having a hard time and tries to help.  We have a brother in our Ward who lives alone and just moved to Utah.  Sharon has wanted to invite him over for dinner because she recognizes he's alone in a new place and is probably feeling lonely.  She is so considerate and thoughtful. 

I don't think Sharon has blogged this yet.  For her birthday, she got some cool lights to put on the wall around her favorite picture.  The colors match the picture real well and the lights look great.  She got this about a week ago and it looks real nice. 

 

But we figured we still better get her something, so we got her a singing card and a DVD to watch.  Ammon and Sam were excited to give her a present.  Isaac and Ben couldn't have cared less.  They were busy watching Signing Time.  (See them in the background?) 

Matt and Abby were over here last night for dinner and a movie.  Abby went and got Sharon a birthday cake and we sang and ate cake last night.  Abby's so thoughtful and considerate.  It was sure a lot of fun.  Happy Birthday Sharon!!  I hope you have a great day!!  Thank you for being a part of our lives and for brightening everything you are around!  Happy Easter to everybody.  May we remember our Lord's sacrifice and receive the great blessings available from His perfect love.
