It is my hope that this summer I can add some fun photos and happy moments to this book of memories as well as share with you some more about me and the lessons in life that I am learning in this journey we call LIFE!!

The following photos are from my final photography project. I couldn't copy them all over because I didn't save them all as a jpeg image......My theme was a change of seasons!!

Testify

Testify

Today April 6th I want to take some time to record my testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. It was on this day in 1830 the the Church was established, and I am so thankful to the Prophet Joesph Smith for restoring this gospel to the earth. I am blessed everyday by being a member of Christ's church. I am blessed to know who I am and where I want to end up. I know that through our Savior Jesus Christ and his atoning grace we can be exalted and live forever with our families. I know that our loving Heavenly Father is mindful of us and he knows our desires and our hearts. I know that our prayers are listened to and answered. I know our desires can be reached and obtain when we maintain faith and righteousness. I pray that I can continually lose my desire for sin. I know that through the atonement I can overcome sin and improve myself and others. I am grateful for this knowledge and power in my life. I am grateful for the opportunity I had this past weekend to hear the words of our living Prophet and apostles. I know they are inspire men and know the will of the Lord in our behalf. I am grateful to be on the earth at this particular time in history and it is my desire to help others to know of the wonderful message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is my testimony that he lives and he loves each of us. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.


This is one of my favorite talks from general conference April 2011

I have HIT a BRICK WALL!!

Normally I try to keep my blog focus on the positive that is happening in my life but today I just don't feel very positive and I feel the need to vent. I have hit a brick wall, and it seems like every angle I try to get around, over or through this wall noting seems to happen. I have had a dream for a very long time of becoming a nurse. I enjoy helping and nurturing others. I love learning about how amazing our bodies are and the many ways to help heal our bodies. But I just can't seem to have the right doors open for me to pursue this dream and I feel like I am running out of time. I have been trying since September to get a job as a CNA in a hospital setting and every application has been turned down with this same phrased email (because all applications are done through the internet)............."Thank you for your interest in the position of Patient Care Assistant. We have narrowed the field of candidates down to those whose training and experience most closely match our needs. Unfortunately, you are not among the final group of candidates being considered." Yuggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!! If only I could get an interview so that someone can get to know me, what ever happened to face to face contact????
My first attempt with application into the nursing program was also met with a rejection! What does it mean when you get hit with a brick wall in your path? Should I stop? Is this not the path I should be on? And if it isn't. What should I be doing?
I hate Brick walls....................I hope some answers come soon!!

Thought for the Day!!!

I don't mean to brag or make you jealous or anything................BUT I can still fit into the earrings I wore in High School!!

We should always look for the positive!!
Loved this little email I got from my great friend Diane so I had to publish it!!

Brady and Rachel's Wedding Day

This Day!

This day March 5, 2011 chalks up there in my book of days that I will never forget. You don't know how extraordinary a day like this can be until you experience it. As a mother and father all you want for your children is for them to experience joy and happiness and the wonders that life has to offer. This day Brady and Rachel experience all of these things, and as a mother my heart was full. Brady and Rachel have such a glow about them it was so fun to be apart the wonderful experience of their wedding day. These days make the best family memories.... I so love my family and am excited to be with them forever!
