My good friend Jill who is awesome did this on her blog http://jillrowland.blogspot.com/ and so I thought it was an awesome idea and am going to follow her lead.

Top 10 things I love about me

1. I love that I am compassionate. I love being able to mentally put myself in someone elses shoes and sympathize

2. I love that I am a good listener

3. I love that I have a talent for singing. I love love love to sing. I may not be American Idol or XFactor material but at least I can carry a tune and make some beautiful music

4. I love that I am a good communicator. I have not always been that way! Boy have I come a long way since I was a kid.

5. I love my ability to act. I am not Julia Roberts or Julianne Moore or Uma Thurman for that matter. But I can act if I put my mind to it and I love it.

6. I love my ability to write. I am not always funny or elegant in my "verse" but at least I can make someone feel something when they read it.

7. I love being Nathan's wife. I am a great wife. For the most part I am understanding of Nathan's crazy schedules and his many responsibilities.

8. I am an excellent mother. Not perfect but excellent. I love love love being a Mom! I am so greatful to be a Mom and it is the one job that I wouldn't trade for anything.

9. My name means "friend" and I am a good friend. I try hard to keep in touch with my friends even though our lives have taken different roads.

10. I am excellent at remembering birthdays. That doesn't always mean a card gets sent but Nathan teases me often that I know our neighbors, sisters, brother's, aunt's, cousin's dogs birthday. LOL! Seriously I know some birthdays of people that even they might be surprised I know. LOL! Do you want to know if I know yours...just ask...

Ten things I love physically

1. I love my smile, it is genuine...need I say more

2. I love my hair. I have always had good hair, not to thick, not to thin...and it's color is stunning (although I have had to resort in my growing old to hair color) but my beautician matches my natural color really really well!

3. I love my fingers. They are long and beautiful

4. I love my eyes. They are brown but a tone with a red tint to match my hair.

5. I love my stretch marks on my stomach. Those are much appreciated battle scars from childbirth. Something I am most proud of.

6. Like number five I love my C/Section scar. It is the beauty of my last three children.

7. I love my nose...it is crooked and it has character!

8. I love my ears...they are good for listening...

9. I love my heart...it has given me grief but oh how I love that it continues to pump and keep me a live.

10. I love my hands...because with them I can bring comfort to those around me by putting them to good use doing good works (service)

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 ...
