The big announcement

So, Kristi was the only one to comment about my teaser that I had a big announcement today...sorry though you didn't guess it (although in a former life a purple room in my house would have been a definite possiblity).  But, you can see it for yourself below.  Or you can find it on the Church's You tube channel too. 

A few months ago Jason was working with the General Relief Society Presidency on some stuff and they made this video about us as an example for the RSP.  I didn't really think anything would come of it other than being an example.  Even knowing it was an example I totally freaked out having them in my house "filming".  There are so many things that I wish were different in our home decorating wise, and I was told they'd only be upstairs hence my son's messy room...oh well.  Now you know it's really real and not staged.  ;)  I hope if nothing else it will help someone who is having a hard time feel comfort.  Let me know what you think!

That was really beautiful. I can't wait to meet him. It's funny how things you really didn't plan on, and probably didn't want, can totally shape your character and guide you into being the person you're supposed to be. I know I have found that too.

Aw, that made me cry! (And I hardly ever cry.)

Jen - this was so great, and I have to say you look fabulous. Where can I get good lighting like that? Might help me out!
Jason's messy room isn't so bad - he's typical, right?

Cissy

Beautiful, Jen. Beautiful.

Jennifer, I saw the link to your video on the Yahoo group page. I never make comments on the yahoo group mostly because It's complicated to me. I found your blog on Krisin's blog and was so happy because I wanted to tell you I loved the video and thanks for sharing.
