"Get over your issues!"

On Saturday I had the amazing opportunity to listen to Sis. Julie B. Beck speak. She is the General Relief Society President for the Church, for those of you didn't know, and she was in Rexburg for a Regional Conference! I almost didn't go! I felt like i haden't seen my husband in forever, and leaving Arco at 7:30am when, usually, I'm not even out of bed by 8:30? Well not my idea of a good time! But when my Mother and Siter in law came to pick me up some how i was ready to go!

She didn't really have a prepared talk! She invited those of us in the audience, to ask her any questions we had regarding the gospel. There were many questions and many good answers! I got many things out of the meeting, but the thing that stuck with me the most was this:

"Get over your issues!

God doesn't care about your issues!"

This was her response to a sister's question about visiting teaching! Crazy right? I know it sounds harsh, and we all know that our Heavenly Father loves us, but it's so true! It doesn't matter if you don't get along with your companion or the sisters you teach, you may think you don't have time, but get over it and just do it! I think we can apply this to so many areas of our life. I need to get over my issues and do the things my Heavenly Fater needs me to do! So I challenge you all to "Get over your issues!" {Sorry this is kind of a random post in the middle of my posts about 2010!}

SuMmEr 2010

We had a busy, but fun summer!

Alex's brother, Cody, took us boating at the Mackay Dam a few times last summer! Al tried surfing behind the boat!

My Sister in law Lacy and her kids; Cambria, Brynlie, Christian and Scouten!

This is the first time I ever got up on a wakeboard before! Woohoo!

If you know me I absolutly despise running! But last summer I decided I wanted to run in the Atomic Days 5K Fun Run! Guess what?! Running isn't so bad! Alex and his sister Brandi ran it with me, and the girls came along for the ride!


Cooking marshmallows at the Blane Diversion!

New fence and the start of what I'm hoping will be a beautiful lawn when all this gross snow is gone!

We spent many hot afternoons out in the pool or running in the sprinkler!

SpRiNg 2010

We had an awesome year last year and we did so much that i just have to share! So just a warning my next few posts are going to be long and contain many, many pictures until I get a little more caught up!

Dying Easter eggs!

Easter egg hunt!

Easter Dresses!

Kymber turned 3 years old on April 30, 2010! Happy Birthday girl! Sorry it's 10 months late!

On May 17th my little sister, Jennifer became a mom! She had a little boy! Now Kaden is 9 months old and I don't think I have ever seen a baby smile as much as that kid does!

Thank Goodness for Insurance!

I'm sure you have noticed that my posts have been well non existent recently. My camera cord has been M.I.A for quite awhile now, and if it weren't for new proof of insurance I don't think it would have ever been discovered in the jocky box of my little blue car! It's a good thing too! I recently had a complaint from one of my "Faithful Followers" begging me to update my much neglected blog. This person and his family his family are more than just friends, they feel alot like family! They go above and beyond helping in anyway they can. Whether it be a chauffeur giving the girls and I a ride to dance class or mutual on tuesday nights, or a babysitter they always seem to offer before i even need to ask! As for the annoying guy at church that distracts my husband? I don't mind him so much either! This family makes living in Arco, Idaho not so bad sometimes, and for that I am grateful! So hang in there my fans, how ever few you may be, and hopefully soon I will get my blog updated!
