Happy Anniversary

Happy 36th Anniversary to my wonderful parents....I didn't have a picture of their wedding so here is a picture of them at my wedding.

My parents have been married to each other for 36 years. But my Dad as 'kookie' as he is claims that between the two of them they have been married (something like 60 years) or something like that...my parents have an interesting story really. Both of my parents were married prior to their marriage. My mother is also a convert to the church. She married young to a man who wasn't exactly the "cream of the crop" but they had two fantastic children together before they divoreced, my brother Jerry, and sister Rebecca both of whom my Dad later adopted as his own. Her former in-laws were members of the church but her ex-husband didn't resemble those "qualities" of a "good standing member" if you want to put it that way but at the age of 22 she got baptized because of the example of her former in-laws. After her divorce her former mother in law introduced her to my Dad. (the details of how that happened is cloudy to me) but interesting nonetheless.. My Dad was married to a wonderful woman whom I know as/ and call my "Aunt" Barbara. They have four beautiful and amazing children. Kayleen being the oldest, Janalea, Bryan and Leon. The reason for their divorce is not relevant honestly but after they divorced he of course was introduced to my Mom and together they have been married 36 years and have four awesome kids. (me being one of them) my sister Noraleen, myself and my two younger brothers ElRey and Jacob. Divorce is not fun but I am grateful that I have my siblings no matter how it happened (if ya know what I mean) if that was the only "purpose" behind their former marriages then I would count that as a blessing!!!!!
So Happy Anniversary to my wonderful and awesome parents. I am who I am because of them! I love you!

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 ...
