Hello and Happy New year to everyone. I’ve been so busy lately that I’m not quite sure I’m here. But I am and even have a few minutes to spend writing. The soup is on the stove simmering and being Wednesday and all, one of the other ladies has a fresh batch of bread in the oven ready to come out about the time our kids are walking through the door to have lunch. How great is that? I’d say we’re pretty spoiled.
Things have been snowy, cold, frozen, sunny, muddy and wet, sometimes all in the same morning, but they’ve been great. I’ve registered for my Drawing II class and homework is underway once again. I have this idea that I would like to get an art degree and sharpen my skill with writing at the same time. We have such a colorful life before us that I would love to capture it and share it forward. I have a niggling of an idea that wants to come out…and that is to write and illustrate short stories of what life is like through the eyes of a polygamous child. I know what it was like for me growing up in Salt Lake City, what it was like for my husband and his siblings growing up in Hildale. I have rich stories from my mothers-in-law growing up in Short Creek, from our own children growing up in Colorado City, and our grandchildren breaking in their generation’s “happenings”.
To revisit these experiences, examine them and ponder over them, for me, would be very satisfying in deed. It would almost be like getting away with being a kid twice. Now how spoiled is that?

I LOVE READING YOUR WONDERFUL BLOG! You have been such a blessing to me:) I am a Plural Wife (although not Mormon, Fundamentalist Christian) and you are so refreshing and a light in a hidden world! Glad you had a Blessed New Years!
In Christ’s Love and Mine

Thanks Nikki I truely appreciate the sentiment!
Take care and God Bless.
That is a great idea! I hope you are able to do it!
You have the life we all seek after. I have a loving husband, and 8 beautiful children. Sadly though, I have no sister wives. You are blessed to have the life you live. I am happy. But I know it would be better living your way of life. I am LDS. As you may know, our church banned the practice of plural marriage. I believe in the law of Abraham. It is sad our church doesn’t allow it any more. Maybe someday it will. Please email me anytime. I would love to get to know you. You sound like a wonderful woman. God Bless.
Thanks for Sharing Tonya. I went to your blog site on blogger and you sound like such a warm and blessed person. You’ve got some beautiful children. My heart goes out to you with your chemo treatments though, these are not easy things to face I’m sure.
I love the life I live and I feel strongly that we are placed on this earth in a planned fashion and that we work in concert with each other whether we are fully aware of this or not.
Feel free to send me your email and I will respond. Take care of yourself.
