So I was talking today on the phone with my friend Tara (she is also the Relief Society President in our ward) and we were discussing some particulars with my calling. (I am the Compassionate Service Leader so I work under her direction) anyway, I was expressing to her how I feel I have grown a lot in my calling. When I first received this calling we walked out of the Bishop's office and Nathan started laughing hysterically. (okay we were in the car) but I am soooo not a people person. I don't make phone calls well AT ALL! and this calling has required that of me. ALOT! Funny thing it has not been as difficult and/or as scary as I thought it might be and have literally LOVED being in this calling. But anyway it got me thinking...I am a theatre nut! I love theatre, acting, singing, being someone else on stage and it dawned on me that most people look at Drama people as loud, obnoxious and completely unafraid of the "spot light" and I am sooo not that kind of person. I am actually quite reserved and not a big group gathering type of person (even with family). So I started wondering today after talking to Tara and started to self reflect upon myself and my personality. And then I thought to myself I wonder what people have thought of me on a first impression and then what they thought after really getting to know me (or better anyway) Wouldn't you want to know that? Maybe not....I mean really I am not the self conscience type of individual either whatever people think, is just what people think and well....that's just that.
It also got me thinking to an experience when I first got to college and I decided to audition after much prodding from my overly boisterous fellow drama queen roommate Cynthia and I amazingly got cast in the chorus of Babes in Toyland. But I remember at a cast party a girl and I sat and got talking and then later she told me that she had thought I was this stuck up drama "queen" who thought I was "all that and a bag of chips." up until we "bonded at that cast party. When really I was just shy. We got a good chuckle out of that. LOL!

So just curious...if you care to comment...what did you think of me on your first impression compared to now? Common! Be honest. I am just really curious.

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
