Luck of the Irish!


10 Years ago today....Nathan asked me to marry him...he wasn't thinking about it being St. Patricks Day and neither was I but it just happened to fall in to place like it did...I say it was the "luck of the Irish" although if either of us have Irish in us it is very little but if anyone knew what a fickle person I was...it was definitely inspiration on his part that allowed everything to happen as it did....
I wasn't the easiest girlfriend and although I love/d him...I had a huge fear of committment...okay...I said it...I admit it...don't ever bring it up again...but that morning he was inspired to take me to the temple and I knew it was coming and honestly I was very nervous because I was not sure I could say "yes" but I prayed hard in the temple and felt peace but still was convinced in my mind I was going to say no...so when he finally asked up on the hill behind the temple where he knelt on rocks and asked me to be his wife...we were both a little shocked by my answer...although I immediately felt peace and he had probably wanted something a little more "confident" we both knew it would work out...(in more words than one) I did tell him I would marry him...but I think he was expecting a more direct answer something along the lines of "YES!" but it didn't happen that way.
But I will say one thing...MARRYING NATHAN IS/WAS THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!

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...

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 ...
