Since its been so long since I've written its hard to believe that I have been married for 5 months and 3 days. I can't believe how fast the time passes. We have definitely had our share of trials and struggles but I am grateful we have been able to experience it together. I can honestly say that I love tommy more and more everyday. I am grateful for the gospel in my life and I have faith that heavenly father wont give us anything we cant handle. I have loved being able to start our little family and trying to start traditions that are important to us. One of my favorites so far has been f.h.e. together just the 2 of us. Its so special to me and it really means alot. I hope when we have children we will continue to make that apart of our weekly routines. Another thing I have loved is doing little projects and cooking together. Its something that brings us closer together and its fun. We just get to talk and get to know each other better. Its great because Tommy loves it just as much as I do. Even since we have been married we have started playing lots of games with my family. Golf and Spades would have to be some of our favorites. Tommy gets so competitive and its really fun to watch him. Life is good and I love my eternal companion. aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-64556075465330896292012-08-20T10:46:00.001-07:002012-08-20T10:46:22.649-07:00Bryce finally came home...<br />

Our family was finally to all be together again after about 4 years apart. It has been alot of fun. When he first came home we had a super fun beach camping trip. Its one of the things our family loves to do together. Its so much fun to spend time with one another. aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-64126614017186343022012-08-20T10:43:00.000-07:002012-08-20T10:43:02.297-07:00I love my grandma...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My grandma just passed away on August 13th, 2012. Im so grateful to have the gospel and the understanding that I will see her again. She is someone I have always had a great love for. She is so special to me and I'm going to miss her so much. She is one of the most thoughtful, loving, caring, kind people I know. She loved everyone and she always showed it. I will forever be grateful she was able to come to my wedding and share that special day with me. I'm grateful for her kind heart and her testimony. She was someone who always remembered what you loved and got you your favorites to show you that love. She will be missed but I'm grateful she is in a better place now. When she was going we were able to be around her and sing hymns around. When she was able to talk to us she was sharing her testimony still. She was talking to caitie on the phone and told her she loved her. then she said im grateful that we can be together forever and shes grateful for the savior. She always loved God and showed it. aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-55382136468762019072012-08-20T10:32:00.003-07:002012-08-20T10:32:34.443-07:00Our wedding....Los Angeles TempleSo lets just say I have been a bad writer on the blog. it has been too long and I need to be better about journaling and keeping track with my life.

March 17th, 2012 will forever be a special day to me. I got to marry my best friend. So our wedding day was lots of fun. It started off a little wet but by the end of the night we all had such a fun time. It was raining so hard and traffic on the freeway was really bad. Traffic going to L.A. is always bad but with the rain it was even worse. Once we got to the temple it felt so peaceful inside. I had to wait for over an hour for my husband to finally make it. He finally did though. It felt so good to be in the celestial room and know that I would be with him forever. It was nice to have so much family and good friends there to support us and share our special day with us. We got lucky right when we came out of the temple the rain stopped for a bit, but it was FREEZING taking the pictures. The wind was blowing and it was cold. We ended up getting lots of great shots together although I wish we had some more family shots due to the weather we weren't able to. (I was so scared the rain would come back.) Afterwards we headed back to the church in upland and had the most fun reception. We had such a good line of friends and siblings. We just had fun. It was a good night. I was surprised when all the groomsmen did some fun dancing for me. It was great. And I had to conquer my fears and do a Polynesian dance for my husband. I was so SCARED. Its something I will never do again but it is a memory and I'm proud of myself for actually doing it. When we were dating I use to tell Tommy he would have to pick someone else to marry if he wanted them to do that at his wedding. As it got closer to us being married his brother explained to me that I really did have to dance at our wedding because of tradition. I finally agreed. I know it meant alot to Tommy so I just did it. Its funny because my good friend Rachel was so patient with me and she taught me everything. She was such a good teacher. When The time came and I got up there I forgot everything. I just did some moves I remembered over and over again. I loved being able to dance with Tommy and watch him dance for me. It meant alot to me as well. It was fun for my daddy daughter dance I had my sisters join me and my dad and it was fun all being together.One of the most special things to me is that my grandpa don came to the temple and he and my grandma Lorianne came to my reception. Tears filled my eyes when I saw them because I know it was an easy thing for them to be there. With all there medical problems at the time it really took alot but they made it. we danced with both of them in their wheel chairs and they loved it. A little fun memory I don't want to forget is going to walmart after our reception. We had to get a few things and I walked in with my wedding dress and all. It was a super fun day and one I never want to forget. <br />

So we went to az to see tommys brother edward. we had such a fun time with his little family and the night before we left I had told tommy that the next day i wanted to go shopping. Just the 2 of us. Since he had gotten home we really hadnt been able to spend much time just the 2 of us. So much family to be with. Which was fun dont get me wrong but we need some time alone too.That morning as we were getting ready to leave tommy said he wanted to watch a movie. I was sad because I had been looking forward to shopping with him but I realize how much he loves movies and he hasnt seen so many since his mission. So I was just gonna let him watch it and leave a little later then I wanted to. He took a shower and told me he wasnt going to watch the movie and that we were going to go shopping. I just felt so special. Like really he didnt have to do that. It was very considerate of him and honestly made me feel a little selfish and bratty.ha ha..hes so nice to me... So on the way home we did some shopping. We didnt get very far. We went to the mall like 5 minutes from his brothers house. So the first store we come tois a diamond store and tommy was like lets look in there. So i was like yeah this is so fun I really never have looked at rings and never tommy and I together. So we looked and the first place we went i saw the ring I loved. The man his name was ryan who was showing us around was so nice and helpful. So he showed us some other rings but I really loved the first one I tried on. (funny thing about this is I loved the first wedding dress I tried on and it ended up being the dress I got as well. just a little side note.) So we went to a few more ring places but nothing else caught my eye and no one else was as nice as ryan. I ended up going to pacsun which was having a major sale. I was sooo excited and looking around alot. Tommy said he was gonna go to a shoe store real quick but he would be right back...he ended up rushing back to the ring store and told ryan he wanted to buy the ring right then and there and to hurry..HE asked how tommy got rid of me and he said I was in the dressing room. ha ha...so he bought the ring. OKay funny thing I saw him talking to the lady at pacsun, well i thought he was just asking her for a shoe size but he was really telling her that he just bought a ring and to please hide it in the shoe box. I thought that was a clever idea. I can be nosey sometimes and I would have noticed the ring in his pocket for sure. So I love my ring and it was so fun to be able to pick it out. I love tommy and im so grateful to be able to call him mine. He really is so good to me.aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-26827966007015377322012-01-17T00:26:00.000-08:002012-01-17T00:38:46.654-08:00Im engaged...So on Jan 6th 2012 tommy and I headed down to san diego to visit his brother tui in the navy. We were planning on this for a while since my cousin was getting married the next day in the san diego temple. We figured it would be fun to see him and then we wouldnt have to leave home so early. As I was getting off work I called Tommy to make sure he would be ready to go and he said lets go to the beach. Something fun about tommy is he is spontaneous and likes to change up the plans sometimes. Its good for be since I'm a planner and like to know whats going on. I think were good for each other that way. =) anyways. to make a long story short tui was expecting us so we ended up going to san diego as planned not the huntington beach as tommy was planning. We first drove to this area by the water that was full of fog and looked a little creepy if you ask me. Tommy told me to keep driving and we ended up going to this beautiful beach that was by a hotel that looked like a castle. It was perfect. By the water, and rocks and not too many people around which was just what I wanted. I really had no idea this was coming. We sat by the water and listen to the waves and enjoyed the beach. Then tommy told me he had something. He pulled out an ipod with speakers and turned on a song and told me he wanted to dance. Its called next to you by christ brown. Before he had told me this song makes him think of me and it was alreadt special to me. It was funny because as we were trying to dance to it we couldnt really since it wasnt that slow. We were laughing but I kept telling tommy how cute he was to do something like that. Then he told me that we should leave. So we started to pack everything up. So we did and then tommy told me we should go for a walk. At this point I thought something was up. Why would he tell me we should leave then go for a walk. He didnt seem nervous the whole time he was calm and so normal. So then when we were walking I was wondering what was going on so I wasnt really paying attention to what he was saying and I wish I was. He was telling me how much he loved me and etc. Thats really all I remember. Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was so cute. I loved every minute of it. We will soon be married very soon on march 17th 2012. I cant wait for the day when I can finally be together for time and all eternity with my very best friend. It was very special that the next day we were able to go to the san diego temple and sit in the celestial room together and I just felt so at peace and I thought of the day that I too could soon be there with tommy making those sacred promises and blessings. =)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_EHiIQlFV_0vutX6US8l2qnEQj3k-ZD5AqUq0mJxGfu_lNRC8cF2owMwcs7_dQcTnJRo95hQ-sdeYtfq_IZlNYIwAtM_lLdXAi0RYU4Wo1OL7RQAGzvPPqWRLzFMWrj2JQzKb5Q-7mhI/s1600/374867_536409382063_292200007_737717_171997152_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_EHiIQlFV_0vutX6US8l2qnEQj3k-ZD5AqUq0mJxGfu_lNRC8cF2owMwcs7_dQcTnJRo95hQ-sdeYtfq_IZlNYIwAtM_lLdXAi0RYU4Wo1OL7RQAGzvPPqWRLzFMWrj2JQzKb5Q-7mhI/s400/374867_536409382063_292200007_737717_171997152_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698517374558070498" border="0" /></a>aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-40568669877886139582012-01-17T00:14:00.000-08:002012-01-17T00:26:04.767-08:00Tommys homecoming..<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG9qz25LbzDG8AmoVX2Otajd8ulutsats7ps1I-hjpy1A8QzbtKG5yDHlaYN3-mHCVTEAWc2CUhIX_NXwG4ukDDMxT50XO1YC-LM_-cb_yX6sPAuaOg5OLthwPwfDCLul8XA59axrdSwk/s1600/405436_535001842783_292200007_728227_1122081810_n.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG9qz25LbzDG8AmoVX2Otajd8ulutsats7ps1I-hjpy1A8QzbtKG5yDHlaYN3-mHCVTEAWc2CUhIX_NXwG4ukDDMxT50XO1YC-LM_-cb_yX6sPAuaOg5OLthwPwfDCLul8XA59axrdSwk/s320/405436_535001842783_292200007_728227_1122081810_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698514310804519586" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidWS3HBm7Wib5GJ7kB0NnFGO3rzfcsP6V5J4KLNqjGkmtAK49ro-Dw7EEg5qbruQXVtsqs8iahSQYFvlbSchhyvnpbfFyy7QyBeNO4IvAkHA_JXacnG17fbVxxwcXNJ0Ll7_xPYqKIYY0/s1600/388801_536406497843_292200007_737702_1188534095_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidWS3HBm7Wib5GJ7kB0NnFGO3rzfcsP6V5J4KLNqjGkmtAK49ro-Dw7EEg5qbruQXVtsqs8iahSQYFvlbSchhyvnpbfFyy7QyBeNO4IvAkHA_JXacnG17fbVxxwcXNJ0Ll7_xPYqKIYY0/s320/388801_536406497843_292200007_737702_1188534095_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698514197020480514" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Wow my goal of writing on here weekly has for sure failed. Life has been so busy but great.,..let me first share that tommys homecoming was so amazing..I love being able to just be in his presence. When I first saw him at the airport I wasnt sure if it was going to be awkward but it only lasted about 5 minutes as he greeted his family first. Then he asked to take a picture with me. I knew he wasnt going to be weird around me. We took his straight to the stake presidents house where he was released. It felt like we just started right where we left off. Because of his timing coming home and me working at schools it ended up that they had christmas breaks around the same time so i only had to take a couple days off and I was lucky enough to spend a good 2 1/2 weeks just doing fun stuff together. We got to spend time in san jose tommys home town for the first time together which was alot of fun. We were able to go to utah to the temple with lots of people from my mission and we even had lunch with the jones who served in tommys ward when he was a child. They have really been like grandparents to tommy. We even got to spend time with my cousins jareds family. They were nice enough to let us stay with them and caitie was off work so she even came along which was lots of fun. We enjoyed celebrating christmas with my family a few days early which was sooo much fun. I loved every minute of it.l Then we headed back to san jose to spend christmas with tommys family which was also amazing. It was so good to be with the family. After we came back to my family to spend a few days. We were lucky to have beautiful weather and got to ride bikes at the beach which is something I really love so much. Then we headed to az to visit tommys brother, sister-n-law and the cutest niece ever miss kyleigh. They made us feel so welcome and it was just alot of fun. Then it was time to head back home to get back to work and start up pathways through byu-i which I must say I love so much. Its so spiritual which I have ever experienced as I attended school and I love that tommy and I get to do it together. Its fun to work on the hw together and be able to attend institute each week together. I have mostly loved just being able to have my best friend around me again to laugh and joke and talk about whatevers.aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-44007250206319422672011-12-04T10:25:00.000-08:002011-12-04T10:29:10.101-08:00Busy...Wow I havent been good about trying to post on here weekly..life can just get so busy but honestly I just have so much to be grateful for. Thanksgiving was a great holiday week we did lots together as a family which I love. I feel busy with work and school and church lately and I'm getting so excited in 11 short days I actually get to see Tommy. I cant wait. I'm so excited for christmas to come and I just love this time of year, the christmas songs, the lights, the joy that is in the air. I ponder how grateful I am to have a savior who lives and loves me. I feel so blessed. Sometimes I think we get so busy and caught up in life that we dont always take the time to remember the small things that make us happy. My greatest blessing is to have the gospel in my life. Without it I'm sure I wouldnt be who I am today and I probably would realize the things that are most important to me.aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-65293687429843844442011-11-20T22:32:00.001-08:002011-11-20T22:51:12.444-08:00its been too long...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhICiHkCeXRo448Z90oOT-QEiS13rc9cVQt87JKAZ6D6Dx5GH8Og6ev3Ywt2Os6pc62eVqh5vtZoRq6obyv2X_s7sy_gqW3GtS5B6DdaTzz0ICoLO8zOFtMftfIDp6h5S8VyRqWmaMYzu4/s1600/eddington+and+me.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhICiHkCeXRo448Z90oOT-QEiS13rc9cVQt87JKAZ6D6Dx5GH8Og6ev3Ywt2Os6pc62eVqh5vtZoRq6obyv2X_s7sy_gqW3GtS5B6DdaTzz0ICoLO8zOFtMftfIDp6h5S8VyRqWmaMYzu4/s320/eddington+and+me.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677337635276508418" border="0" /></a><br />so i had a goal of writing on here once a week and i failed..ha ha..its been forever...lfe has been crazy which i guess is a good thing...i only have about 3 weeks left and i finally get to be with my tommy again..its getting really exciting and feels so real..i never thought this day would come..my family gets sick of hearing about it and they keep telling me they will be happy when hes home cause then they wont have to hear about it anymore..kind of funny to me..ha ha...anyways so last week i got to meet one of tommys favorite elders from the mission. Me and my mom went to the airport so that was cool. and then today me and caitie went and heard his homecoming talk. hopefully when tommy gets home we will actually get to hang out with him...

I had the privilege to go with caitlin to watch courtney dance at her homecoming rally and also announce the top 5 who made homecoming court. This was sooo fun for me. I was only gonna go to 1 rally and then go to work so i would make it on time but I decided to be late since I just had so much fun watching her dance with this huge grin on her face. I loved every single bit of it. Im so glad I got to be apart of it. It was also fun that night our family went to the football game and there she announced who the winner was for court. 1 of her really good friends ran and I'm sad to say she didnt win but she almost did. It was just alot of fun to be there to see it all. On a sad note, I have worked for about the past year with a girl named Trish at my daycare job. She has become such a great friend and I have enjoyed learning from her and talking to her. She gives great advice and is always a good listening ear. I really love her so much and Friday was her last day at work. I'm really gonna miss her but I'm grateful God let me have her in my life for a while and I'm grateful for the bond I have with her. I'm excited for her and her new job, with having a little baby it will be much nicer for her to get off work at 2pm instead of 6pm. I hope we will be able to continue to stay close and keep in touch with one another.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCWdcTfFobkbhb4gvSsvEyB8hxYot2EDVfxal-wbM_WQ5WeKRto0cp-VL7xGvgQ8M5u5Rh6kErjpqtaWBl0Uzbievf-bm9XcDzD7_Jh-1LMwcJSwxlrD_vagAg6Spjk-idFeV4VDc0F20/s1600/IMG_4120.JPG.1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCWdcTfFobkbhb4gvSsvEyB8hxYot2EDVfxal-wbM_WQ5WeKRto0cp-VL7xGvgQ8M5u5Rh6kErjpqtaWBl0Uzbievf-bm9XcDzD7_Jh-1LMwcJSwxlrD_vagAg6Spjk-idFeV4VDc0F20/s320/IMG_4120.JPG.1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661691452931355698" border="0" /></a>aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-64625709615301300242011-10-02T20:51:00.000-07:002011-10-02T21:29:47.403-07:00L.A.

I havent been since before my mission so it has been a few years. We didnt have much time to walk around but none the less it was really fun to spend time with my sisters (minus manda =(...) and just have a good time together. I love watching mom at work there cause it just seems like she has a good time and enjoys herself. She was nice enough to go early with my sisters since i couldnt get off work until later and stand in line to see if we could get tickets to the concert that night. so a few weeks ago caitie asked me if i wanted to go with her to see leann rimes perform. I was all excited. I remember as a child always liking to sing. I have never really been that good at it but i always enjoyed it in the privacy of my home...so i had a little karoke machine and leann rimes was one of those singers i always loved to sing to for some reason. So I love her cause she brings back fun memories. ha ha...anyways they ended up getting the tickets for free. i was all excited...once i met up with them we ate together and there was a wierd like 5 minute pouring down rain storm..ha ha..it was so random. so the concert ended up being really fun and we even got to see kelly pickler before. it was really fun im glad we got to spend some time together as sisters. =)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659117237586154994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjI-fz0mDOvCFuU-PHdii_8Td6-IQEuVjdCUM8krogBjrZqXsaYN6gEnjXDrWWQKwT4rDfjEEZ7SgL1XfRrgHIJ8ZzSbv49YS7bmELcukotOl8xJQn9WK4hiGdy81cWUjwurNihxYVmCA/s400/college.jpg" />aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-29285393845133354312011-10-02T20:32:00.000-07:002011-10-02T20:51:22.521-07:00General Conference...I feel so lucky and so blessed...conference was wonderful and it always is but i just love that i can be reminded of the things most important and how i can improve. i love that everybody in my family is to the point where conference is really important to them and means <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">a lot</span> to them. like really we all get excited and take notes ...something that i love that my parents do and its something i want to do with my kids is after conference we all sit together and share things we loved about conference. its kind of funny cause we all get excited and go on and on and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">don't</span> want to stop sharing..like we want to talk about all the talks that we liked so we <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">don't</span> even give everyone a fair chance. something that i loved that we brought up tonight as a family was the talk by <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Elaine</span> s. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Dalton</span></strong> and how she spoke to fathers raising daughters and how important it is for a man to love his wife and show his daughter how special she is to him. this made me reflect on my dad and how lucky i am to have a dad who really loves my mom and shows it always. we knew to always talk to our mom with respect and if we <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">didn't</span> we would hear it from dad. they have always made it a priority to take time to spend with each other and go on dates. I started thinking about how important that one thing is. Like i look at people once they have kids sometimes they put their kids first and its important to take care of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Ur</span> kids and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">nurture</span> them and raise them but i just started thinking like about how its important to always make <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Ur</span> spouse feel loved and important and help them know their #1 to you. this was good for me to reflect on before <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> married so i really can think about whats important to me and what i want. as we told my told how grateful we were for his example he got tearing eyed and it was just a sweet experience. he told us that we should want nothing less then a man who loves us and that the reason why their marriage was the way it was, was because they always put god first and because of the gospel. I cant wait to be able to have my own husband one day who will take time to love me, and be a good example to my future children. i could go on and on about conference just because i loved it so very much. i would have to say my favorite session was sat afternoon and my favorite talk would have to be <strong>Neil L. Anderson's</strong>..he spoke about families and how their ordained of god and having children. this was special to me <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">probably</span> cause i really cant wait for kids and its something i have always wanted. As i listened to this talk i reflected on what a sacred calling it is to be a mother and how important it is to have children in the lords time instead of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Ur</span> timing. he talked about how the world <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">suggests</span> to delay having children and how the worlds ranks it below college, the gym, a job. but just how important it really is, its a calling not a hobby. I loved that. I am a person that stresses and sometimes i think i <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">couldn't</span> have kids if my husband <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">didn't</span> have a good job or if we were not set. but this talk <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">really</span> made me realize its all about putting our trust in god and how much happier we will be if we do things his way instead of our way. we will be so much better off and so much more happy. I really cant wait to be a mother when heavenly father reveals to me its the right time. =)...i guess it would be a good thing to be married first too..ha ha...1 thing at a time, but i think its good to think about..ha ha...<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">like</span> i said i <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">could</span> go on and on but i think ill leave it at that and just say how grateful i am to have heard what i did. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">I'm</span> grateful for conference and the strength it gives me to face the world and try a little harder to be a little better each and everyday, cause if were not progressing were <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">digressing</span>.aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-23140697933444409942011-09-29T20:27:00.000-07:002011-09-29T21:14:32.511-07:00SpIrItUaL

minute of it...i was able to go with tommys family to az to witness the blessing of his 1st and only niece (hes probly a little jealous since hes never met her) and the sealing/endowments... of his brother edward, and wife renelle to their beautiful baby kyleigh...i felt so honored to be able to go...renelle actually even asked me to be her escort in the temple. what a special experience...and then during the sealing i got to hold baby kyleigh...i love the spirit in the temple and just to think about what an important and eternal decision they made to bless their family forever is just that more exciting...it was so good to spend time with tommys family and be with them and get to know them better. they always make me feel so apart of the family and i just love to be with them and get to know them better. we were able to go to the womens relief society broadcast...it was just for me i felt...i am at a place in my life where i really needed to be reminded of how much i am loved and tha everything happens for a reason and at a certain time..and that the lord knows best...<br /><meta equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId"

It does not attract immediate attention; it is easy to overlook among larger and more vibrant flowers; yet it is just as beautiful, with its rich color that mirrors that of the bluest skies—perhaps this is one reason why I like it so much.Tonight I would like to use this little flower as a metaphor.

I cant believe shes really going...Im gonna miss her so much..she has been such a good friend to me and shes very special to me, at the same time I'm so grateful for her example and willingness to serve and im just so grateful for her growth and testimony. I's just so proud of her. She will do great things. She mentioned in her talk how we are very similar in the way we got the answer to serve a mission. Like we both didnt want to go, but we put away our wants and realized that the lords plan for us was grateful and we went and did as he asked us to. I loved as she shared her experience of prayer and finding answers in the scriptures. it brought back all the memories i had when i knew i was suppose to go...i cried alot...her testimony was strong and her story was inspiring and i just was thinking about all the good memories i have with her and just how very much im gonna miss her.

I guess my grandma miller is very scared to speak and church and my dad said she has only done it 4 times in her whole life so we took the opportunity to hear her. she spoke about how she gained her testimony and the joys of being a grandparent. it made me grateful to have been brought up in a strong family and even more grateful to realize that my dads side of the family has so many strong active members for me to look up to. in my grandpas talk he shared that out of 21 grandchildren i think 11 have served missions. what great examples we had to follow. I am so grateful. after wards we took a few pictures and got a pretty funny one of my dad and unlce larry. hopefully the cousins and family check this one out cause im sure they would love it..ha ha...im so grateful for all the wonderful memories i have of my grandparents growing up and im glad that for part of my life they lived so close and we were able to see them so regularly. I feel lucky to have also had a very close bond with my great grandfather who would come over alot growing up as well. I remember going to church with them and having sunday dinners with them.aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-35024005470023925762011-09-03T09:10:00.000-07:002011-09-03T09:17:15.377-07:00Fun Friday...ha hayesterday was such a long day...went from job interview to work to job interview then took a test for a job then work again and after met up with the family for a bike ride on a really fun trail in alta loma...loved it..the weather was so nice and it was fun to be together...(sad we didnt take any pics...) finished it off eatting together...i love my family and i love spending time with each other...I really enjoy riding bikes too...its just something i have learned to love in the last months..I really dont like going up big hills though...im not that in shape yet. maybe one day..i swear my dad almost killed us at the end of our bike ride yesterday. made us go up hill..i was dying but i was so proud at the end to say..wow i did it and i didnt even have to take a break...ha ha...about these interviews...i feel so blessed to actually have some job interviews. I have applied for many over the last year in hopes of getting something with more hours so i dont have to have so many part time jobs. its just so hard these days. I just honestly believe everything happens for a reason and its all meant to be the way it goes. if heavenly father wants me to get another job i will. I just feel blessed to have the jobs i do at this time. life is good...=)aLLihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00176685389425756717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133662105955684720.post-65028207447921149992011-08-31T10:36:00.000-07:002011-08-31T10:41:23.101-07:00Life is good...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg31XAeoPAA0Aob6TIimWYTEGyaKd6rdeODfSzPXW7nEtQBT6j5Ej-f3NOYAb-tLs2xzlxOZha1PG1i9XEJtz0JlXYGAOSCjSV9kJ_IVoB_auxn1lDNyio74jguy_jN-NNUvC5rYU4QiAM/s1600/caitie+025.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg31XAeoPAA0Aob6TIimWYTEGyaKd6rdeODfSzPXW7nEtQBT6j5Ej-f3NOYAb-tLs2xzlxOZha1PG1i9XEJtz0JlXYGAOSCjSV9kJ_IVoB_auxn1lDNyio74jguy_jN-NNUvC5rYU4QiAM/s320/caitie+025.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647076580008333506" /></a>

<br />So tonight for fhe mom talked/read a story from the ensign about a missionary and his name tag...she asked me and brett to reflect on our name tag and what it meant to us. oh my gosh...i can remember before i went on my mission a good friend of mine telling me she was jealous i got to wear a name tag with jesus christs name on me each and everyday and to never take it for grantid. I remember thinking ok yeah. But i never really knew what she meant until i now long for that sometimes. I miss my mission so much some days. I miss the great joy i felt, I miss the people i met that became my family. I miss represently my savior each and everyday. I miss it and im just so grateful for it. I think how lucky i am cause everyone doesn't get to represent there savior the way i got to. I can remember times on my mission when i would think something, or want to do something, and then i would stop myself because i would remember who i was representing. It was such a good reminder and i hope i can continue to remember that and strive to be that way even though i dont physically have his name on me. I hope i can always remember this quote and live up to it... "Live your life so that those who know you, but don't know Him, will want to know Him, because they know you."

And such a special one to me. last week i got a text from kristina saying she would be baptized this sunday and she even asked me to give a talk. I have been so emotional all week as i think and ponder how exciting this is. you may wonder why this is so so so special to me. Dec 26th 2009 i came in contact with kristina in new jersey on my mission. She was a media referral and we got a text message to take her a book of mormon. I had the great privilege of being able to share the gospel with her on my mission and watch her grow. after i came home from my mission she still was not baptized yet but i always knew kristina knew the church was true. a few months after i came home i found out kristina was moving to rancho cali to live with her bf. I was excited for her to live so close to me. Then a few months later i found out they got married and then to be able to witness her baptism today was just so so special to me. I am so grateful i got to be apart of it. it was so funny cause she asked me to give a talk and i was crying so hard at the beginning i couldnt even speak. its amazing how the spirit and really just take over sometimes. Its amazing how things can touch ur heart so deep and just bring that joy that means so so much in life. The gospel is true and im so glad to have it bles my life. I so grateful to see how it can change other peoples lifes as well and make them so so happy.
