"As I looked at her across the table one evening recently, I noted the wrinkles in her face and hands. But are they less beautiful? No; in fact, they are more so. Those wrinkles have a beauty of their own, and inherent in their presence is something that speaks reassuringly of strength and integrity, and a love that runs more deeply and quietly than ever before".
A more serious note
Okay, so just wanted to be clear, that you all know that I was exaggerating a bit in my last post. I'm really not that obsessed, lol. My main focus, is really about finding a balance. I know it is easy to get carried away with this kind of stuff, but I really just want to be a well rounded person. Beauty is not all I care about, I believe that moderation is the key. I know there is much more to life. We are all going to get old eventually, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. One of my favorite quotes from Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley is when he talks about his wife, in his book, Standing For Something.

President Hinckley - gotta love that guy.
If people read your "about you " section, they would see your interests are more than laser treatments and tucks of any sort. A girl who serves a mission and puts her wife and mommy duties first, is NOT that shallow = )

I look forward to more of your enteries, and plan on incorporating many into my life.
Thank you again, and I wish you, Sean, Lily & beautiful little Oliver the merriest of Christmas' and a Blessed and Happy New Year! ;)
