Fund Raisers

So why is it that they send home my 5 year old fund raisers? No offense, I am about to vent here just a warning. But she is 5!!! A five year old is not going to be able to sell cookie dough or Christmas overpriced junk! AKK! I have to do it!!!!! And personally I would rather 1. buy what the school is in need of and donate it OR just hand over 20 bucks a month rather than get these annoying fund raiser's sent home in their back packs. It is one thing if they are in junior high or high school and they are in a club and fund raising for a specific event but come on! Kindergarten?? Secondly, what is the fund raising money going toward anyway? They don't inform us of that information they just send it home anyway...I mean first of all we are having to donate EVERYTHING for the classroom that they use and need meaning, snacks, drinks, paper bags, paper plates, crayons, markers, colored pencils...ect....Now if they said hey, this is specifically going toward buying more books for the classroom then okay...I might be a little more driven but even then I would rather say what set do you need and go out and buy it for them and donate it.
Annoying friends and relatives to buy stuff is NOT my forte! AT ALL! Heck I had a hard time as a girl scout selling cookies. And those things sell themselves! LOL! Especially when I have bought stuff from these things from my nephews and it IS all overpriced junk! Okay the cookie dough can be eatten but still overpriced when I can make my own cookies for half the price if not a quarter of the price.

Well, that is my venting for the day. No cookie dough for us with this fund raising event. Nor do I plan to asking anyone else to do so.

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 ...
