Having Fun in Life

I think that I am starting to drive my husband nuts with my fun fun fun attitude. Kind of funny but not really. I love to be on the go and doing doing doing....going going going....He just looks at it as spending spending spending..!!!
I think that he gave me the trip to Europe for Christmas thinking that it would make me limit my fun fun fun. It in some ways it has... But really people who are we kidding you can not keep a lively girl down. I just am trying to plan a few things and he keeps telling me. "You want to do that rather then your Europe Trip" No but I do want to go. Men why do they always try to have the upper hand. Really you only get the upper hand if we keep our downs letting you then gain that upper hand. If men really knew how much we do control them I think they would all just give in and live a much easier, peaceful, and happier life. Don't ya think???
I really just think that life should be enjoyed. I keep telling Ken you save I play it really is a good combination . What more could ya ask for? Not much... if you ask me.
I am really excited about this year. I think 2010 is going to be a great year with great fun and great friends.

The year of 2009

I can hardly believe that the year has come to a end and another year is here on our door step. It has been a heart warming, heart breaking, life defining, and fun year too. So much happened this year. I went through all the emotions that a person could in a life time this year.
All in all it was a good year with a few set backs. Parts of it I would love to repeat parts I would never want to repeat. I had to make a few hard decisions this year that some did not understand and judged me for it. Others stood by me and helped me through a rough time. I found out that right is right and wrong is wrong no matter how you look at it. What you allow in your life can effect others and you need to always live the Principals of the Gospel. I learned that from the saddest moment that hearts can heal and good will come out of a terrible loss. Life goes on and it may be hard but Heavenly Father loves us all and he is there with us. I formed a Summer Field Trip Club. It was allot of fun and I really enjoyed it. This year brought great blessings to my family and I. The journey of 2009 was a good journey. I learned much and I am better for what I went through and stronger for it also. I am very blessed and I hope that I can bless the lives of other this coming year.
I have allot of goals for 2010. I am ready to start the new year. I am really excited for all that will come my way this coming year. Changes are coming to my family, I have a list of fun things I want to do this year, and most important I just plan on being a better person this year.
I am so thankful for all my family and friends. With out them and the Gospel my life would not be what it is today.
Life is truly what you make of it. Choices you make today can effect you for the rest of your life. So let all of them be good ones. Pray often, love much, and hold your love ones close. I love you all and hope all of our journeys this coming year are good ones.

Christmas

I am so excited for Christmas. It seems like I just posted 75 days till Christmas on my Facebook. Wow time does fly. I have so much fun planned this Holiday Season. I guess that is the story of my life...plan...plan...plan...
I have just been enjoying my family for the past few months. We just celebrated Nicholas 18th Birthday!! That was a fun time.. I cannot believe he is already 18. I am going to have a hard time with him leaving home. Taylor is 16 and just past his drivers test. He is all kinds of excited. I am all kinds of scared!!!!
Chrissy and her family are doing great too. Went over to her house today and helped her decorate for the Holidays. Yes she is my daughter and she did not deco till today..It is sad!

Ken bought me a new tree this year. Nice very Nice. He is such a good man to me. I am very blessed to have a man that does as much as he does. I am currently working on a trip to Italy for my Christmas present. I think that I am there. Just the 2 of us. No kids!

So much going on so much to do. i will post pics later. Also I updated the Field Trip Blog too.

Friends Make Life a whole lot Sweeter!!


I have been doing so much this summer. I was thinking today how great the summer was. It ended on a hard note and I have had a few issues in the past 2 months. I just hate it when your faith is tried and you have to stand up for what is right. It is never popular and some never really understand but it is OK, I have decided right is right and wrong is wrong. I learned allot this summer. That I am stronger then I thought and I have a stronger testimony from it.
As I had to make some hard decisions at the end, it still all ended with me knowing that it was a fun filled and life changing summer.
I have some of the best friends in the church. I am really blessed. We have enjoyed so much this summer. I love them all. Each one is a testimony to me that Heavenly Father really does love me.
I want to thank all that enjoyed there summer with me The trips, the picnic, the friendship. It all was awesome. You guys are a great bunch of girls.
i want to get a photo of all of us girls in front of the temple so I can put it on my blog for my book I am making at the end of the year. That is where I think all us women look the best. We all are truly "Sisters in Zion".
Someday when we are are old and grey, I hope that we'll be sharing stories of summers past and memories that we have built with each other over the years.

Life and the loops thrown at us. Define who we are.

Sometimes life sends us for a loop. Then we try and try to get through the loop. As you are trying and trying you sometimes do not realize there is more then one way to get through the loop. That is where we learn the meaning of life and our place here and how our path is going to get us to the other side. Head on is the best. But some go their own way never fully learning what life had to teach them.
We all experience loops in life. The good old saying "That through us for a loop" Don't look to long for one they will come soon enough. To experience one of these lessons in the loops of life trials is not only life changing sometimes but life defining. As I look to see and go through the last loop I was thrown I also look around and notice others loops. Some are bigger some are smaller. But we all get them from time to time.
The lesson to learn is how to get through the loop. Some loops appear to be huge but that does not mean you can just walk through it. You may not learn, grow. grieve, and continue for awhile. the bigger the loop thrown at you the longer the and bigger the lesson you learn. The harder it can be to move forward. How we go throw the loop and prepare our selves for the loops that come our way defines how life comes and ends for us. We are ever changing and ever learning. We are just here but a minute and we have so much to learn and to take with us. I want to be the best me I can be. I need to be ready for what comes my way so I can learn the most and have my testimony grow. I need to stay on the path of righteousness and keep the holy ghost with me. Life is hard enough not to at least follow the path laid out for us.
Richard and Cheryl were prepared for the loop that came there way. They taught their kids the Gospel, they were baptised, and they took their family to be sealed together forever, they taught their kids that life will not always be easy, they showed them hard, times, good times, and love. They made them strong and headed them into the right path.
When you get a loop thrown at you on the right path you deal with it easier, you grow from it sooner, and you land with both feet on the ground and the holy ghost right next to you. When you are not taught the true principals you may not know what to look for how to get to the other side of the loop, it may so life changing you never get back up to try again. You just do not know why or what purpose it served. Only that God must hate me and for that reason. I am am done. How sad the life that stops at the loop. How rewarding the life that keeps going and conquers all the loops thrown at him.
I am not sure why loops come to us and not others or others and not us. I just know that the loops thrown at me are real, they hurt, they knock me down for a minute, they feel like they take away from who we are sometimes. I guess getting through the loop and on my way down the path again is how my life will be defined.
There are many parts of the loop, the actual placing of the loop, the how do I do this, the how come this is happening to me, the what am i to learn from this, did you really mean to do this to me or am i in the cross fire, will i ever be the same again, the i hurt so bad how do i mend my broken heart, the show me the way through the loop and pray it comes soon, and the look back at the loop and know that he loves us and he cares for us.
1. Placing of the Loop.... They are always placed when you do not need them. They are placed where Heavenly Father allows and there only. The devil is not doing this to us. Even though it feels like someone hates us.
2. How do I do this? That throws us alone. You sit up and wonder now what, how do I do this? It should be how do we do this? The only way I know is to turn to God, Family, and the church. There is no other way to do this. it will not work. You need guidance ,direction, and love to get through the hoop.
3. How come this is happening to me? I was told of a man that said "Why not me" Once you ask yourself that. I believe you realize that no one is more precious then the other. Why not me?
If you go around asking why me your whole life you will feel cheated. You will hold resentment, and not be able to learn what you needed to learn to be the spirit that you were meant to be. this is happening to me because it will make me stronger, I will learn from it, and I can help someone else get through the same hoop sometime in my life. this is what God dealt me and i am going to get through this. Do not ask why me unless you really want the answer. WHY NOT YOU?
4. I hurt so bad how do I mend this broken heart. You do not mend it you fill it. With memories, love, and the spirit. In time the Lord mends it and you are filled with the 3 things that you wanted all along. We do not mend it the Lord does in his time. We fill it he mends it. Together we fix it and and we have a bigger heart in the end. Your heart reaches out to others and helps them in their time of need.
5. Show me the way through the loop, and pray it comes soon. The only way to get through the loop and learn what we need is through praying. He will show us and he will take us through the loop we just need to ask. But remember the timing is not ours it is his. but he will stay by us till the end.
6. I just learned more then I thought possible and I love more then I thought I could, and i am thankful for the journey that I am taking through the loops of life. I am a better spirit for it. I may not agree with my loops I have been dealt, but I am thankful for the life defining lesson's they teach me. I pray that they will grow me strong, and raise me up on the morning of the first Resurrection with my loving husband and family. In the end that is all that matters. That my loops get me where I need to go. Back to my Heavenly Father and with my Eternal Family.
