Week #17 - Weekend Road Trips!

This week we had the opportunity to take a little road trip with my parents and my sister Whitney over to Boise to visit my brother Nate and his family. We had such a great time! We got there on Friday night and had a BBQ, then Saturday morning while all the guys were golfing, us girls went shopping! In our spare time we all played the Wii. Even my Mom and Dad played and my sister Whitney mastered the art of Wii bowling. We had a great time, here are a few of the highlights.

PS. Jayni and Aleks have gotten SO big and are so cute. It had been almost a year since Andy and I had seen them and it was great.

Week #14 - General Conference

This week I am grateful for General Conference. I never leave empty, and am always motivated by the messages shared. This Conference was no exception.

Here are some of my favorites: Elder Ronald A Rasband - Saturday Morning, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf- Sunday Morning, Sister Susan W. Tanner- Sunday Morning and Elder M. Russell Ballard- Sunday Afternoon. Listen to them HERE. What were your favorites?

Week #12 - I Know that My Redeemer Lives

Well, I just realized that I am a week late for week #12 of my 52 weeks of blessings. Since the Easter holiday has come and gone I feel a great need, as many others, to express my gratitude for my Savior. I feel extremely blessed to have a knowledge of Him, and to recognize the blessings he brings to my life. Hopefully I can do my part to express my thanks to him, by the way I live.

Week #10 - Better than Being Born with It.

I have always been a little obsessive about my eyelashes. Are they long enough, thick but not too clumpy. Are they even, and not crisscrossing. All very important things to think about. This week I am grateful for Clinique's High Impact mascara. I can promise you, I will never switch to anything else. I am a user for life.

Week #9 - I Love to See the Temple

This last weekend we had an opportunity to attend the Saint Louis Temple with the Youth in our ward to do baptism's. What an awesome experience! We had such a wonderful time with the kids in our ward, we are really blessed to have our temple within driving distance. This week I am grateful for the Temple.

Week #8 - Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts.

This week I am grateful for this fine group of people. Without them, I'd be lost!

Week #7 - The Cookies are Here!

I am not sure about you, but every year I look forward to what I like to call the "Girl Scout Season" -when all your neighborhood Girl Scouts come out to sell their cookies! (For some reason I always think of Troop Beverly Hills, sigh) Anyway this week, I am grateful for Girl Scout cookies! There is one for everyone to enjoy. Here are my favorites!

52 Weeks of Blessings

My good friend Emily shared this great idea on her blog. Every week, on Sunday, you post about something you have been blessed with in your life. Don't forget to post a picture too! Since I am several weeks behind...I am starting with this week...

Week #6

As I think about the things I have been blessed with, One thing certainly comes to mind before anything else...and in true fashion (b/c several of my friends started with this one too) I have to say what I am most grateful for is my Husband.

I won't get too cheesy, but Andy and I became best friends very quickly and I was sure he was the guy for me. He is the best at taking care of me and is one of the most ambitious people I know. I love him very much and am grateful for him every day of every week :)
