My Wonderfully, Awsome, Amazing, Busy Weekend...

On Friday, Micheal and Natasha got married. It was a very nice, simple ceremony and they looked beautiful. Congrats to them in the future (cuz we all know it's not easy.)
Yesterday, I hung out with my Uncle Eric again. I seem to be doing that a lot on weekends. We have fun even if we aren't doing anything fantastically amazing. We delivered a load of fire wood. Then we moved a half ton bale out of the hay shed (cuz Grandpa told us to) with only my superwoman strength, his man power and cables and pulleys! I made fun of his man power and his awesomeness so he said that I have moved down on the list and I am now his second favorite person in the world. :( Sad!
And Happy Birthday, Devin! Wahoo! He will be 15 on Tues, July 13th... Man, they grow up so fast...

Um... Yeah!

It has been a while since I have posted but I guess that is what happens when life gets a little busy and other things take priority. I have been working and doing family history. I love working on family history and I have been doing more of that lately. anyway, so much is going on but at the moment I am falling asleep. So I will have to say that sleep is a bigger priority... Sorry.

Nazi Officer's Wife

I have been reading a book called "The Nazi Officer's Wife: How one Jewish woman survived the Holocaust." It is really interesting to read the things that Edith Hahn Beer has to say about her life during the World War 2 era. There is a part in the book that I really found interesting. It was 1933, Edith and some of her friends were having a political discussion about whether to fear Hilter and his ideas. She made the comment, "I have read Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" and also some works by his colleague Herr Alfred Rosenberg because I am a fair-minded, objective person and I believe one should always hear out all sides before making a decision, and so I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that these men are idiots. Their ideas about how to Jews have poisoned their so-called superior Aryan race and caused all of Germany's troubles are utter nonsense. No intelligent person could possibly believe them. Hitler is laughable. He will soon disappear."

My Creative Imagination...

Our Only Redeemer

He will take your heart of sorrow,
He will take your heart of pain,
So that you can love again.
In His wounded hands He'll hold you,
Calm the darkest, darkest nights.
He loves you and knows your name.
He is Christ, Son of the Living God,
And through those bitter, cold times,
Just remember His name,
Pray for strength to keep on fighting
Because Eternity is yours to claim.

Matter of Life and Death

General Conference was phenomenal! Its a good thing that I took notes because there is no way I could remember everything that I wanted to otherwise. I loved President Monson's talk. He is an amazing man. He said something like: "to understand the meaning of death, we have to understand the purpose of life." Wow! So what is the purpose of life? What does life mean to you? Hmm... Maybe its something we should all think about?!

I Wish...

This is Ginger. If I could have pets and had the money to adopt her I would in a heart beat! She is so cute and perfect. And I want a dog so much... Callista said that she looks like an Ewok from Star Wars but that is ok with me cuz I always thought they were cute and wanted one. I think she looks like a teddy bear... She does have a fault though, she doesn't get along well with children. But that isn't a problem for me cuz I don't have kids. :)

This Post Is Titleless...

Today while trying to parallel park, I managed to hit the curb (which is more like a foot wall than a curb.) Now my car has a nice scrape on the rear bumper. :( ...
Anyway, that is how unlucky my luck is. I manage to find a close parking spot to institute and I have a crappy time parking in it. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to squeeze my car into that small of a space but I did it and I guess all is well but it is still frustrating.
