It was getting late, it was cold, and the music was kind of loud. I was having trouble feeding baby Z. We were both overstimulated, so I took him to the van for some quieter time and to be able to focus. I was relaxing in my chair with Z. It was dark. It was quiet.

My name is Amanda. I am 32 years old. I am married to husband going on 14 years this month. We have 7 wonderful little children.
I was raised with a Catholic background, but in my teenage years I decided to find the correct church for myself. After searching, and failing many times, I gave up. At 17, I met my husband and learned about Joseph Smith and The Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09047834924288880946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-898715329263509670.post-70346564376694969022010-10-22T14:31:00.003-05:002010-10-22T14:38:16.127-05:00Life As We Know ItIt's been a while since I've posted here. Actually, a very long while. Since that time, I've grown a lot. I have a bigger testimony of my faith, more knowledge of what I want in life, and my family has grown as well. I think back to when I was little. I had no idea what to expect in my life as an adult. Children have such innocence. I guess that is why Jesus said to be like children.

By Eliza R Snow
The sun had set, and twilight’s shady mood
Spread a brown halo-ting’d the solitude.
As days last glimmer flitted down the west;
Life’s stirring scenes demurely sank to rest-
Soft slience lent its comtemplative charm,
And all conspir’d the mental pulse to warm-
From world to world, imagination wander’d,
While thought, the present, past and future Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09047834924288880946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-898715329263509670.post-90778877616224188682007-08-30T18:15:00.000-05:002012-01-19T13:24:32.112-06:00To Mrs. _____TO MRS. ______By Eliza R SnowDEAR LADY:Pleasure sat gently smiling whenI read th’ effusion of your pen.Thought wakens thought: a thought express’dCalled your thoughts forth, with which I’m blest,One gem of mind, I value moreThan glittering piles from mammon’s store.We find a radius in the soul,Illumined by th’ eternal pole,And thro’ the heart’s deep sympathy,We taste of immortality.The blessed Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09047834924288880946noreply@blogger.com0
