Sweet On...

Today I am totally sweet on my Swiffer mop. It empowers me. For the first time in my life (pretty much) I can kill spiders. The Swiffer is the best spider smasher. I can stand four feet away and get into the most awkward corners. My husband should be totally in love with the mop too because now he doesn't have to kill all the spiders!

This fabulous discovery happened because we were away for two months this summer. Apparently all the spiders in town thought that we had moved out and felt free to move on in. June and July were spent in Cache Valley, Utah. We were there cleaning out my husbands' parents' home. This was a difficult time for us. Not only was there the pain of going through all of their things and selling the family home, but we were away from home for so long. My husband was a hero and shouldered much of the burden, spending many twelve hour days at his parents house.

As difficult as this was I know that Heavenly Father had a purpose. Our relationships with some of our family came away much stronger. What a blessing for us and our children! And let's not forget the discovery of the best use for a swiffer mop!
