UtAh....

Well last week i wrote a little bit about our week in utah but i wanted to add to it...it really was so fun and enjoyable...it was nice to be away from work and just have free time. im not gonna lie it felt like the week lasted forever since i seem to be busy alot of the time. I went to the movies 3 times in 1 week...(this is crazy to me since before this i have only been twice since ive been home..WOW) The week included: concert, temple trip, eatting out (a little too much, it always makes me feel sick if i over due it..yucky=( ..ha ha) , movies, seeing old friends and comps, a hair cut at jessica's spa, hiking a little and of course shopping. I dont know if anyone else feels this way but shopping away from home is something i really enjoy and i always try to find time for it. I really missed my sisters most of the week while they were at efy but being away from them makes me appreciate them more...I felt like i had alot of time to reflect and just think about my life and how i can be better. One cool thing about utah is that they have the $1 movie theatre so we always try to go when were over there since its so expensive over here. We saw soul surfer. its about a girl who loved surfing and her arm got bit off by a shark. wow this movie had me in tears. really a feel good movie and it just made me grateful and think about the things that are most important in life. Because of her accident her heart was softened and she thought of others. I love how the lord does that to us at times when we need to learn things or have room for growth in our life. It amazed me how she got out there and started surfing again and was able to learn to do it with one arm. It made me start thinking and pondering my own life. Just how important it is to never give up and if we want to do something to keep trying and we can do it because all things are possible. Loved being in the temple and the peace i feel there. Im always so happy when i make the time to go. I also watched another movie it was about the poineers and what they went to so that i could have the gospel of jesus christ today. Wow i was in tears again. I just felt so grateful. sometimes i complain and think my life is hard or i have to deal with this or with that. but wow life is so good and so easy compared to them. I take so much for grantid and i need to be more grateful. Loved being with my family and friends but really i loved that i had time to ponder and think. it really made me reflect and was really good for me. =)
