Go Aggies! (Take 3)

This is the THIRD time I have created this post, typed the info, painstakingly added each picture. Some times this thing is so frusterating. It kept telling me that my HTML code was unacceptable. Well then don't create it that way blogspot!! I also gave up on getting the pictures in the right place. anyway, hope this works.

Finally we won A game! Yes, ONE game. Its a big deal ok? Not only did we WIN, but we also scored 45-17! It sure was fun to watch the Aggies play well though! Maybe we;l beat the cougs in two weeks...heehee ;) A few weeks ago we went camping with "The Boonies" and Kylie and Spencer Boothe. We didn't get to go camping all summer long so we decided to take one of the last warm weeknds to enjoy the outdoors. We had a TON of fun! Hobo dinners are always FABULOUS, and Boonie and Jenn made some amazing peach cobbler with ice cream for dessert. yum yum!

This weekend I got to go to a NUSKIN conference with Kyle (and got to see Jade and Tayler!) It was a lot of fun! I dont' think I'm going to become a distributor at this point but I think their vitamins and skin products are amazing. We also got to go to Lagoon for NuSkin's company party. Lincoln works there so he got tickets. I had been feeling sick all day but I LOVE rides so I rode anyway. You can imagine those consequences...

So, anyone know of any jobs opening in Logan? Particulary something in communications that includes benefits? Pretty slim pickings...but let me know if you hear of anything! thanks, love ya'll!

I didn't feel so hot-This was while we were in line for WICKED for the second time, it was followed by ten minutes of me staring into a trashcan...

Dave, Chelsi, Leah, Chase-LOVE to go to games that we actually WIN!

The natives making peace

Kylie and Spencer-we are SO glad they moved to Logan

enjoying the wilderness of Logan Canyon

Jenn and Boonie-LOVE them!

The last couple days...

The last couple days have basically looked the same as the last couple weeks. Consisting of alternating between looking online for job openings, driving around town for ideas of where to drop off my resume, eating lunch with my hubby, and hanging out with Penny. For some reason though, the last couple days have felt different. Although nothing major has changed, a collection of small things has made a big impact on my perspective.

Yesterday morning as I checked "craigs list", the classifieds, (with fingers crossed) and my email, I received an unexpected little gift from a great friend is Boise. Oh what a blessing it was! This short video brought the spirit immediately and also brought me back to where I needed to be. Its only six minutes long, you won't be disappointed if you watch it.

After watching this video a couple of times throughout the day, I sat down and worked on my RS lesson for this Sunday. "Beyond the Veil-Life in the Eternities". (Its chapter 18 in the Teachings of Joseph Smith manual-read it so you'll be prepared for RS) As I've studied the topic of what we have to look forward to after this life, I just thought about how short our time on Earth is; and how our reward afterward is everlasting. What a wonderful driving force through all those day to day stresses and trials that we have! No matter what we go through now, it will soon end, and we will have become stronger for it. Heavenly Father's plan for the eternities is such a merciful, happy blessing. Our time on Earth is a time to learn, grow and find happiness through our families and work towards those eternal goals.

This morning I found out that Jade's step-brother Brian was killed last night in California. What a shock and tragedy that is. It just came as a reminder that life is a gift from our Heavenly Father. There are no guarantees of how long we'll be here so there is no reason to waste a minute doing what we came here to do.

Lastly, I finally got up the courage to actually go to this website
http://www.nierecovery.com/ and
http://blog.cjanerun.com/
to see what everyone meant when they talked about being touched by this family and their story. I had been avoiding it because, to be honest, I didn't want to be sad and worry about something that I had no control over. But I know what everyone meant now. I too, really connect with them. It reaffirmed the thoughts that I've been having over the last couple days. Life is fragile. Heavenly Father loves us and is guiding our lives. When things don't turn out exactly how we imagined, He probably has something better in store for us. It is amazing how they are able to see the blessings through this horrible tragedy.

Sorry this was so long. I just had a lot on my mind. I have lots of pictures and adventures to write about soon, I'm just a little behind!

Tag I'm it!

Way back in July Rachel and Jenn both tagged me. Sorry it took so long! They were pretty similar so I'm just going to combine it into one so that I don't have to go overboard on the meaningless information about myself.

The Rules:List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 surprising facts and then tag 3 other people. Leave a comment of the people you tag so that they realize that they have been tagged.

3 Joys:
1. Each and every moment that I get to be with my wonderful husband.
2. My loving friends and family (and puppy)
3. Ice cream...oh my gosh I love ice cream

3 Fears:
1. Not reaching my potential in life
2. fear of letting people/myself down
3. I know its completely irrational, but I've been afraid of aliens since I was a little girl

3 Current obsessions:
1. politics
2. The sky-I think its such a beautiful reminder of our creator. Its beautiful any time of the day
3. baby stuff-that is not a hint or clue of any kind, its just fun to plan ahead!

3 meaningless/unknown facts:
1. I am lactose intolerant. But YES I still love ice cream. Its worth the stomach ache
2. I hate walking around barefoot. In the summer I always wear flip flops inside, and in the winter I
have slippers scattered throughout the house
3. I am a "To Do" list person-any type of list really. Its fun to be organized and check things off

Now I tag: Ashley, Kristie, Heidi, and anyone else who wants to do it!
