Yeah for me!

Today is my last day here at school! Can you believe it? I am so excited that I can not stand it..... the last 9 months have been so much fun and such a whirl wind but at the same time... I have missed being at home with my family! I will take my boards (state test) in May! On to other news.... we have a new set of missionaries..and this time it is sisters- Sister Eversole from Orem and Sister Paterson from Canada. We had them over for dinner last night and had a fantastic time with them. We did a breakfast for dinner and Taylor did the lesson. Last nights lesson was about how we need to pray reverently, use the proper language and the order of prayer, then we read the scriptures. It was a very wonderful night and we ended it with strawberries and cream for our treat. Last night as we sat around our living room, I really felt the spirit and I really do feel that I have an amazing life and an amazing family. I am so grateful for all that I have and for where I am in my life because of the gospel. Love and Hugs-

What?

I simply titled my new post as "what"? because I am not sure of my mood today. It is Monday and I am at school- which normally I don't go on Mondays. I am here to get hours racked up since this is my last two weeks of the last 9 months. I should be at home... at the gym! You would not believe how much I miss working out and feeling good. Although I watch what I eat, I have put on weight. I am the kind of person that NEEDS to work out if I want to keep the weight off! So... I am committed to ONCE again, going back on the wagon.
I have been putting a lot of time into school and studying. I had the awesome opportunity to say the opening prayer at the baptism of one of my CTR 7 kids. I could hardly make it through the prayer because I truly felt the spirit there. There were about 12 sets of missionaries there, and 3 of them bore their testimonies in Portuguese-(which is where Daniels family is from) It was awesome! Although we couldn't understand the words, I could definitely feel the spirit touching my heart. It was one of the best- not to mention the food was delicious... all Brazilian cuisine. Adam has kept busy with work.... so I feel that he and I haven't had much time together! It has been so hard but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel. We did get to see "Alice in Wonderland" which was okay. Not one of the best but not one of the worst either. Well- gotta run... Love and Hugs-

Loving Life...

So today is Tuesday and guess what? It is SNOWING!! It is sooo pretty here and just looking out the window at school reminds me of Christmas! Actually, I wish I was at home, on the couch, reading a good book! This past week went by very fast and I am happy to report that nothing major happened. Adam went do NC mid-week, and I stayed home, went to school and worked on my studies. I had a great lesson in primary on Our Savior.... and at this moment, I feel so blessed. We love it out here, but at times we like to reflect on our life back in Utah. Life is so funny because I never thought I would move away from everyone and yet... I'm okay. I guess that saying "never say never" is so true! I am in my final month of school and can NOT wait... I have learned a lot of great things and hope to SOME day in the future put this new knowledge to good use. Well- must go study.... Love and Hugs....

About Me

My photo
Adam and I have been married now for 14 years! To make a long story short- we met at the end of June, had our first date on July 4th, and were married on Sept 1, 1995. All I have to say, is "it was in his kiss." Adam is now a regional manager with Vita-mix. It has been a great blessing to have him here at home so that he can witness his children doing and saying all the fun things they do. We love where we live, but really do miss living close to both our parents and siblings. We have so much fun when we are all together and I am so lucky to have 4 fun loving wonderful sister in laws,lots of friends and 4 amazing BEST friends to hang out with. I know many of you will find this shocking but one of my best friends is my mother in law! I know that I can call on her at any time just to share a good laugh. She has given me the best thing a woman can give away- her son. I know- grab the tissue, I'll wait. Seriously- I love life and above all I am so grateful to know that MY FAMILY IS FOREVER!
