The Way to Happiness

So, I just got an e-mail from my brother, Boy. He wanted to share a recent article he had read on CNNhealth.com. The title of the article is, Study: Experiences make us happier than possessions. Click here for the entire story. Bascially, it states that if you have some extra money to spend then generally you are happier in the long run if you spend the money on an experience rather than a material possession. Why? Because, you can keep getting satisfaction over and over again as you remember the experience but the actual item looses its excitement fast.
All I can say to this is, What are you waiting for? Come on over and lets make some memories. It is scientifically proven to make you happier than buying something material. There are lots of things to do and see here. Just putting it out there. After all, I just want you to be happy!

Introducing...

The newest member of the Gillespie family! We call her "Beamy". She is super. We adopted her from a family in our stake that is moving to Singapore. We hope she likes it at our house.We are so excited cuz now we can get to church in about 10 minutes as opposed to 45 minutes by bus. It was really hard to find just what we were looking for. I really wanted a 4 door car and they seem to be much more expensive. Not to mention, it is hard to decide which kind of cars to look at when we are unfamiliar with so many of the brands. Well, without further ado, here are some pics of our pretty new (to us) car. And as you can tell, it snowed here this week. Actually, it snowed pretty much non-stop for 2 days. Everyone was pretty shocked cuz it doesn't genereally snow in Geneva much. Too humid with the lake right by us. But never say never. This is the view out the back of the house while it was snowing.
