A New Year of New Things...

This year is going to be a good one. I am getting all kinds of good vibes. I am teaching myself to play the guitar... a frustrating but fun goal. It is frustrating learning a new instrument but hopefully it will get better. I also started crocheting a scarf. It is very plain and not fantastic but I'm getting the hang of it. Mostly I just needed something to keep my hands busy. And I WILL finish it! (Unlike all the rest of my half completed projects.) ... hmm... maybe finishing all of my projects should be another goal.
Alright! Yay! I have tons of stuff to fill my year!

Christmas was... YESTERDAY?!

This year Christmas didn't feel right. Oh well... Another year is almost done and gone. Time for a new one to start with new goals, hopes and dreams! Maybe I can find the "Spirit" of Christmas even though the holiday is past.
Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday season!

Are We a Thankful People?

So I am seriously wondering were Thanksgiving has gone. I walk around the stores and I see Christmas every where. We have Halloween and then... Christmas? Really, people?! I guess Thanksgiving isn't marketable enough.
Originally, Thanksgiving is a day to show gratitude for that which we are thankful; our friendships, our family, our gracious God and how blessed we are every day. What a beautiful meaning for a holiday! And what have we reduced it to? A day where we eat tons of food and watch football?
I personally thank God for all that He has blessed me with. I am blessed everyday with friends and family who care about me. I have a job which provides a way for me to provide for myself. I have a car that runs. I have a roof over my head and food in my belly. And I am grateful that we can take a few moments of our day to remember the real meanings for our holidays.
So... Let us be a thankful people.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Need a good read?...

Just finished a super good book! Its good for anyone who wants to read gripping, mysterious, romantic, LDS novel.

Something New and Different...

So I decided that I need to do something new and different... Its not what I had originally thought it would be but we will see what God has in store for me in the near future. :D

Conquerers of the West...

Today I have been studying and working on family history. There is so much to find and learn. So at the library I was looking at the books relating to pioneer heritage and I found a couple books to help me. Yay! Not many people share my excitement and enthusiasm over finding a name or a date but to me it is one of the most amazing things ever! So off I go to do my dishes and then settle down with this book...

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...
