What I believe!

Today's post is all about what I believe. I believe in my savior and redeemer, Jesus Christ. I believe that we have modern day prophets that lead and guide us. I believe that if we live worthily (by guide lines set forth) we can return to live with Heavenly Father and continue to learn and progress. and also by living worthily we can receive our own revelations from God. He loves us with a perfect love that we don't come near to comprehending. We have agency to choose, but he is always there trying to guide us to the path he wants for us.  I believe in the priesthood and that it is the power of God.

I believe that people are mostly good. (maybe I'm too trusting) I believe I can achieve whatever I really set my mind to. I believe that children are our future (HA! but no, really) I believe that sometimes children know  more than I do about somethings, or at least  that they often shed a different light and perspective that adults don't usually see. I Believe a lot of stuff... this is just a brief overview! :)

A Place I have traveled

Um... probably the coolest place I have been is Seattle!! I loved it there! It was so green and lush! I also loved the feel of the city (even though there were lots of bums) I loved the bay/harbor and the city scape(especially from the space needle) One of my best friends Katelyn and I drove from Idaho and spent two nights in a hotel.  The hotel actually turned out to be pretty nice and we had so much fun together. Probably my favorite vacation either. I don't feel like posting pictures... look in May of 2009 to see my pictures... :) and the full story!

A song that makes me cry

Songs are very near and dear to my heart. And i have several songs that I have cried to. Listening to music really seems to let me face my realities and come to terms with things going on in my life, so I have cried to a lot of songs. BUT  one that always makes me cry, almost always... Abide with me--166. We sang it at my dad's funeral. Plus it just strikes a chord with me. Also I Know that my Redeemer lives. Also sang at my dad's funeral, but I cried at that one even before that. there are lots of hymns that when played on the right day will make me cry.....

Family!!!

Do I get to include my niece and nephews? maybe I will in one lump....

Daddy: The best Daddy a girl could have hoped for. He was very hard working and sacrificed a lot for our family. He loved to  tease and joke. His family was very important to him and so was the gospel. I am a lot like him. He was organized to a T and knew just where everything was. He also enjoyed his alone time. He loved sweets and Dr. Pepper.... maybe thats where I get it? He also loved anything horses!!! And even though he is no longer on Earth, I think about him and miss him every single day. I am so grateful for the Daddy he is and was to me and for his amazing example and all he taught me.

Momma: What a lady! She is also very strong and sacrificed a lot for our family. She was always a wonderful mother. She makes wonderful meals, helps you with whatever you need and best of all is great to talk to. She has been through a lot and I really admire her for it. She loves to read and is artistic even though she doesnt seem to think so. She is loving and would do anything for just about any one. She is funny and loves to laugh.

Whitney: My big sis.... I always looked up to her (still do). She was always perfect in my eyes and I wanted to be just like her! She majored in Elementary Education at BYU and taught 2 years before she decided to be a  stay at home mom. She is one fantastic mother to three adorable little kiddos (my favorite ones). She is crafty beyond all believe.... I am always amazed at the next crafty thing she makes. She is hilarious and I can always seem to talk to her for hours.

Shane: He always does his own thing no matter what everyone else thinks. I have really admired him for that. He isn't afraid to take a risk. Once he has made up his mind, he does it! He is very smart and informed. He reads a lot and is opinionated, but because he has researched it. He is also pretty sensitive, even though he doesn't want you to know that....He is also the type that would do anything for you the second you asked. He once came and picked me up in the middle of the night when my car died.....

Lon: He has a heart of gold. He is very trusting and loving. He would give you just about anything or do just about anything for you. He often thinks of himself last. He is very friendly and gets along well with just about everyone. I was always ( and still sometimes) known as "Lon's little sister" He is studying to be a physical therapist at the U. He is a big Utes fan but an even bigger Wyoming Cowboys fan.

  1. This is kind of an old picture i guess but we went to Texas Roadhouse for my 23rd birthday and they made me sit on the saddle while they sang to me... YAY!
  2. I find it funny that often times people are surprised when they find out I have strong opinions...it has happened one more than one occasion
  3. It still weirds me out to see my name as the official teacher for my kiddos....even though I have been their teacher for close to 4 months.
  4. I love organizing things... though you wouldn't know that by looking at my room...
  5. I hate being cold
  6. I love the fall and everything that comes with it... minus the snow....
  7. I am not athletic in the slightest bit. and if I didn't need to work out to be healthy i probably wouldn't. Not something i enjoy!
  8. i love music! I love finding that songs that fits your life  in the moment!
  9. I love sleeping!
  10. I love being with kids, even though they make me exhausted.
  11. I love milk!
  12. I don't have a plan for the rest of my life... I'm flying by the seat of my pants! Who knows where life will take me.
  13. Many many things interest me...but none of them interest me long enough to sustain my attention.... (ADHD???? you tell me)
  14. I'm quiet until you get me talking... I'm not usually one to start a conversation until I know you well.
  15. for some stupid reason i type "my" when i am trying to type "me"... I have done it like three times just in this post.....and when i text sometimes i type "i" instead of "a"

YAY!!!! Look for the next posts in up coming days!
