God's Love Never Ceases...

I was driving the other day and heard this song for the first time. The lyrics fit my Mothers stories of cancer to a 'T', the age, number of kids, the husband.. etc... This song touched me so much. It reminded me of how much I love my Mother and how grateful I was that I was old enough to help her through it and how grateful I am that she is still here with me. She listens to me and is happy with me and sad with me. She bends over backwards to help me with anything I need. She is a wonderful example of hard work and unwavering faith (if it ever wavered she never let it show). 


She worked full time through her cancer and tried her absolute hardest to be there for my 2 sisters and I. I remember her scheduling her chemo around her days off with work so she could have the weekend to be super sick so she could go back to work being really sick. I remember her coming home after working each day and sitting in her recliner often times crying, because she was trying so hard and it was wearing her to the bone. We had SO many people, SO very many people come and help us. Several people flew in from all over the states to come help, people flooded in from everywhere. Why you ask, because of how amazing my Mother is. She has touched the lives of hundreds of people and will continue as she fights her way through what at times seems like never ending trails.


Dear Mom,


I want to let you know how very much I love you and how grateful I am to be your daughter. You have been there for me when I have made the most insane decisions with the craziest consequences (breaking both of my arms). I just want you to know that I am truly honored to be your daughter. Thank you for your incredible example of faith and strength and COURAGE! I want you to know that no matter the future trials that will come in your life I will always love you through it all and be there for you. Thank you for raising me in the gospel and teaching me all that I needed and what I will continue to need in my life. Thank you for bending over backwards to help me and encourage me through my experiences  in life. I love you mom! If I can be even half the Mother you are I know I will be doing GREAT! I love you so much!


Love your baby girl.

Singin in the rain!

WHAT A GLORIOUS FEELIN.. I'M HAPPY AGAIN! There was a big rainstorm that cause flash floods down the street my parents live on! I pushed Katie out in it then I ran out and we played for about 30 GLORIOUS minutes.. and were SoAkEd to the BONE! It was sooo much fun!







*cough, cough* Space Camp....

One of my most "treasured" childhood moments was 5th grade space camp week! I LOVED it! Well... I was talking with Amanda and we were reminiscing about how great it was.. because she too went to space camp.. ANYWHOOO! She got an email from Thanksgiving Point advertising for *drum rollll please!!!* iWorlds :) So we rounded up 16 people.. 97% of them were members from Amandas WoNdErFuL family. I brought my little sis Brittany (aka.. MUFFIN) and my (not at the time, but now) roommate Brynn.

It is safe to say that one of my "guilty pleasures" is space camp... I had a blast and am planning to go back one more time before they leave. It was pure fun, pure, pure, blast from the past fun :)


This isn't something you want to see when flying through space...bad, bad, bad

Close call... uncomfortably close..

I was the Ambassador.. this was the hardest call I have ever taken ;)




This may not be the best quality picture.. but its great blackmail..

April General Conference




I was able to get a group of friends in my ward together to go to conference with tickets from our bishop. We had an amazing time. I loved sharing the conference experience with my close friends.

Manti Temple Trip :)

My ward had a temple trip and we went to Manti. Every second of it was completely enjoyable! The weather was great, the company was amazing, the laughs and stories shared were incredible. Brother Benson (one of the counselors in the bishopric) shared some fun facts about Manti Temple and the grounds there.... SOOOO here are some "Gee Whizzzz" facts about the temple!


+ The hill that the temple is built on was dedicated by Moroni as a spot for a future temple. 

~ There are two spiral staircases on each end of the temple that are built onto the wall and have no middle support. They are two of five in the world!!!

Well those are the only fun facts I remember..... :P











It was an amazing day filled with incredible experiences! I was truly blessed!
