Gratitude

-
First I have to say. Hazaah! It is over, done, and I am never looking back! Okay...maybe just to check my grade. LOL! My research paper is in and I am done. That being said, I have been the biggest complainer as of late and I want to apologize to everyone for having to listening to my ranting and ravings about this class. So... I am going to list 20 things that I have gratitude for.

1. My husband (he gets the brunt of the deal anytime and every time) Thanks Nathan for putting up with me.

2. My children (the are next to get the brunt of the deal) Sorry Natali, Noah, and Kate for all the times I have snapped at you due to stresses that I shouldn't let suck the life out of me.

3. Heavenly Father - (he sure listens to me rant and rave and complain and still loves me)

4. Jesus Christ - (for being through it himself for me because yeah...I'm imperfect and he will make up the difference in the eternities for my imperfections that am trying hard to fix here)

5. The Holy Ghost (whom gently reminds me daily that I am over reacting and that those around me are affected and that I just need to have faith and relax already!)

6. For patient and loving friends and family who listen to me complain and ramble too. (Thank you Tara, Erika, Malia, Kathryn, Megan, Melanie, Noraleen, my parents, Nathan's parents, Michelle, Cassandra, Angela, April and Andrea for listening to me complain about my class, and to anyone I might have missed and to all those face book friends and to all my other family and friends that have heard me complain of other things.

7. Sleep

8. Coloring books and crayons (theraputic)

9. Pretty pink purses

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 ...
