Flash back Friday...
This was me in 6th grade.  The first picture is of my girl scout troop at camp. I loved camping then and I love it now, but I didn't stay in girls scouts very long. I loved the one camp I went to but the pressure to sell Girl Scout Cookies was NOT my thing and never was and back in the day Girl Scout Cookies didn't sell like hotcakes like today and where I grew up standing out in front of a grocery store to sell them was completely unacceptable. (ya I'm old) so it was door to door sales for us or hitting up our family and well where we lived the the only family we had close were my grandparents and uncles and door to door sales didn't happen. So we rarely sold much of anything not to mention both my sister and I were in the troop together. Can you find us? 
Then there was the talent show at our Elementary School. My friend Chass and I did a dance routine to "Take On Me" that my sister Rebecca helped us choreograph.  This is a picture of us rehearsing in my sisters bedroom.  Every time I hear the song I secretively bust out in our routine. Yes, can you believe I still know the bulk of it. LOL...Then there was my very first play "A Dragon's Tale."  I was a King's Page with a solo in our sixth grade play. I always loved performing even though I was mega shy. It was great fun and fond memories. My good friend Chass was a court jester. This might be harder to pick us out. I am in blue and green and she was in the pink right next to me. Our friend Whitney played Jo she is in the green....Those were the days. LOL...
So that was fun. I should do Flash Back Friday's more often...

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 ...
