this beautiful lady on her birthday...
My Mom!
I can't even begin to express how much I miss her right now.  My mom is the only one I can talk to about literally everything. I know you are all thinking you have Nathan now. (I say that to myself all.the.time!)And yes, granted Nathan is my husband and he knows every detail about me and loves me unconditionally as well as being my eternal companion and the love of my life; but that cannot replace what my mom has taught me and helped shape me to be who I am. There are those moments where I just need my mom.  I need to talk to her and hear her voice. 
I have had many people tell me since her passing that I can still talk to her and that it is the same. I will be the first to say that NO, NO it's not! Yes, I can talk to her and I do.  People who have lost their own mother's even say that to me so I can't say that only those who have lost their mother's know how I feel because frankly some don't.
She has been on my mind quite a bit lately and not just because her birthday is today there have seriously been moments where I just "needed" her. To lean on, to talk to, to just "listen" to me. And no matter what anyone can say only SHE could be "that" person.  The fact that I can say that is evident  of her true character. 
The unconditionally loving  person she is/was. She is the most compassionate person I have ever met and known and was never quick to judge anyone and always gave people the "benefit for the doubt" Although at times she would offer advice she usually didn't. She usually asked you questions so you could figure it out for yourself.   Unfortunately she is not here to physically talk too but I know she is with me.
She was an amazing person and I miss her and on her birthday I just want to recognize what a wonderful  person she is/was and that I hope to be half the woman she was. I have a lot to work on. 
I love you Mom! Happy Birthday! Celebrate in style!

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 ...
