okay. i really wish i liked blogging more 'cause i pretty much rock at it. we have been married for 2 months now and it is pretty much amazing. i work at walmart. yes, you heard correctly. i am a cashier. don't even front like you aren't jealous. it isn't horrible. it is very new to me to have a job that i actually have to go to and be there on time. neil and i bought softball gloves and we have been playing catch in our big backyard. we joined a bowling league, too. we started last wednesday and it was a lot of fun. one of neil's work buddies and his wife are on our team. they seem pretty neato. i am so good at bowling. my first game i got a 61. pretty amazing. second, 100 and third i got an 81. so, at least i improved. we will see how this week goes! maybe i will get some pink bowling shoes to match my pink softball glove.

currently looking for places to live. we want to live in roy/ogden/riverdale area. so...if you know of anything cheap and cute let me know! it is a pain looking for a place to live when you don't live where you are looking. and when everything costs a million dollars for rent. awesome. but i am so excited to get our own place and start getting things settled for our new life together. that sounds so cheesy. but i like cheese.

quotes.

2009-10-19T12:33:00.000-07:00

"i embrace any emotion. i have no ability to ignore how i feel. i can't control it."

"when i was a child, i felt complete, i felt like a grown woman. now i feel like a child, but obviously i am a woman...i am in between."

"love is for fools and all fools are lovers, it's raining on my house and none of the others, love is for fools and i'm still one. the sidewalks are filled with love's lonely children. the sidewalks are filled with loves UGLY children."
this last quote is kinda depressing but i liked it...not because i feel in any way that way but just because it sounded kinda cool. so, not to worry...i am not depressed or feeling like love is a fool or ugly. :D

song of the week...
they bring me to you by joshua radin.

quote.

2009-09-25T08:29:00.000-07:00

The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. it's overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt.--Leo Buscaglia

getting a ticket for honking in a parking lot = awesomer.
having your license denied because of a $30 fee you had no idea about = ridiculous.
getting a ticket for denied license = seriously?!
having expired registration = stupid me.
getting ticket for expired registration = my luck.
having car impounded for all of the above = fan-freaking-tastic!

going to court to explain myself = priceless.

word.

proof that i can fulfil my life long dream of word creating.

words added to the dictionary in 2009:

flash mob: a group of people summoned (as by e-mail or text message) to a designated location at a specified time to perform an indicated action before dispersing.

webisode: an episode especially of a TV show that may or may not have been telecast but can be viewed at a Web site.
zip line: a cable suspended above an incline to which a pulley and harness are attached for a rider.

words i think should be added to the dictionary:

...

is.

so i think it has been far too long since i have written on here. actually written not done one of those fill-me-out things. so i guess it is time. i don't really have a lot to write about...nothing exciting.
i got a new job...i am working at qwest.
i am watching steel magnolias. never seen it before. i love julia roberts.
dolly parton isn't much of an actress...why does everyone love her? she annoys me.
well, that is prolly some info you could care less about. anyway, life keeps going whether or not you want it to. and that is how it is.
i am so ready for spring. i miss the sun. and i have also come to realize that i don't like skiing. i have tried to like it for thirteen years. i thought that i had to like it cause i live in utah. i get excited when i get to go skiing because maybe i'll end up liking it this time. but i don't. besides the fact that i end up feeling like i won't be able to walk for the rest of my life. so, skiing is off my list. i like summer much better.

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great
importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be
sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and
appreciate the kind way you always handle things

there is an extremely, for lack of a better word, mind killing book called, "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" by Mitch Albom. It is one of those books that you could go through life without reading and become more intelligent just because you didn't read it. although i have an obvious lack of love for this book I do believe in some of the things it states. Yes, I have read it, and yes, I probably could be just as good a person had I stayed away from the novel.
there are certain people in my life who I cannot imagine life without. these are those people who have helped shape who I am. i believe they will be a part of my life through eternity. people come and go but there are always those constants. but there are few people who mean more than life to me. people I would give my life for. they always come into my life when needed most. these are the people in the world who will accept anyone and would do anything to make someone's day better. they don't care who you are or what you have done. these people know who they are and are looking to help out those in the world who may be lost or are just slow to finding their way and place in life. these people know how to express themselves and aren't embarrassed by who they are. they are completely comfortable with life and their position in it. these are the people I like to call "specialists".
life is not like a picture. it is not frozen in time...it won't wait till you make up your mind. it isn't constantly colorful or black and white. life is full of variety. life is always moving...always changing. everyday is a different color. whether that color is bright or dull...it is up to me...i choose how to handle things that happen. i choose the color...i choose the hue...i choose the brand of crayon...i choose if it is a crayon or marker day. today is a marker day...today is bright yellow. this is why: today went smooth like a marker. today i am happy for the most part, other than the fact that I have a broken hand. the sun has been shining. today is bright yellow with some green for the pieces of lortab.

2008-02-17T12:58:00.000-08:00

for the past week there have been many a thought run through my mind. there are a few things that have made the week bearable. here is a list of those things (there is no specific order, just how they came to my mind):

~prayer. it is such a blessing to able to communicate directly to my Father in Heaven.
~amy. she is amazing. her love and devotion to the Savior helps me to be a better person. she is a wonderful example and someone I aspire to be like.
~mother's emails. the time difference between logan and china is a bit confusing. neither of us can figure out when to call so emailing has become one of my best friends.
~sisters. their love and concern is a huge comfort to me.
~relationship with father. we have become a lot closer within these last few weeks and for that I am truly grateful.
~music. without music my head would go crazy. not that it isn't already crazy, but there are so many thoughts up there. music keeps me from the possibility of insanity.
~flip flops. me feet have been feeling a bit overwhelmed and claustrophobic.
~my bed. i finally have been able to get a good night sleep.
~nyquil. stress causes me to get sinus infections, pneumonias, etc. so, nyquil is my bedside drink of choice.
~sunshine. i can't function without it.
~my job. i work with two wonderful ladies who help me put things in perspective. it is nice to know I will be getting a paycheck soon.
~puzzles. they make my mind seems less confusing. does that make sense?

it is interesting how much your life can change in just a single moment. exhaustion of the truest kind has taken over me. without the things mentioned above, I think I would have given myself up to that exhaustion.

it is amazing what the Lord does for us. He puts people in our lives to bless and better ourselves. He has a plan for each of us individually and knows what is best for us. we as individuals have barely the slightest idea of what we need and what is best for us, that is why we must put our trust in the Lord. we have faith in Him and He will do the rest.

ps...I am truly grateful for everyone's love and support and small acts of love and kindness.

fyi.

2008-02-09T10:21:00.000-08:00

I am sure ya'll are surprised to hear from me. I am on medical leave from the mission for approx. six months. So, I am back.

it's time.

2008-01-27T19:39:00.000-08:00

I am pretty stoked.
I leave on Wednesday...2 1/2 days.

Christ - the greatest example.

2008-01-20T01:24:00.000-08:00

Christ taught us how to live by how He lived. He worked miracles, taught, and preached. He endured to the end, fulfilled his divine mission and completed the atoning sacrifice for all mankind.

D&C 123:12-13
"For there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it-
Therefore, that we should waste and wear out our lives in bringing to light all the hidden things of darkness, wherein we know them; and they are truly manifest from heaven-"

Abinadi preached repentance to a wicked people and King Noah. He preached boldly and courageously. King Noah ordered his priests to kill Abinadi. When the priests tried to lay their hands on Abinadi, he withstood them, saying: "Touch me not, for God shall smite you if ye lay your hands upon me, for I have not delivered the message which the Lord sent me to deliver...I must fulfill the commandments wherewith God has commanded me." All the people feared touching Abinadi because the Spirit of the Lord was with him. "His face shone with exceeding luster,"and he spoke "with power and authority from God." (See Mosiah 13:1-9)
When Abinadi concluded his message, King Noah demanded that he deny the words he had spoken or he would be put to death. Abinadi refused. He was put to death because he wouldn't deny what he knew was true. What a powerful example Abinadi is. He stood up for what he knew to be true even though it cost him his life.
I want to be like Abinadi. I want to preach the Gospel with so much power that I shine, that people can see the power of the Lord within me.

the only thing is, i am not sure what to say.
i feel like i repeat myself.
my life has one focus right now, that is all i have to write about.

the picture is of minneapolis. where i will be serving my mission. i am so excited to go but it seems like the feelings of fear are overpowering the feelings of excitement. the Lord is on my side.

some may relate to the feeling of the holidays being over. it is a nice feeling, a feeling of relief. but also a sad feeling, one more year is over and family has left your side. for me the sadness comes mostly from knowing I won't be home for Christmas this year. I never thought nor entertained the thought of not being around for the holidays. it is hard to imagine a Christmas without my family, they are the one's who have been there for me forever. it is going to be hard to not be home for the holidays or for birthdays or for Easter, it will indeed be a new, unfamiliar, but rewarding experience.
only 29 days until I leave. i am excited, freaked out, scared, anxious, sad, happy, and everything else. these next 29 days will go by so fast. not so sure how I feel about that.

yummy.

2007-11-29T14:45:00.000-08:00

it is interesting to think that i, an anxiety ridden child, am getting ready to go out into the unknown. people who know me either almost fell over when i told them i was going to serve a mission. maybe because of the phase i went through a year ago. or, because of my inability to do anything without mom. now is a time for change. i will depend fully on my Father. a lady at work asked me how i thought i would be able to convert the Lutherans. and how i think as just one girl i can change the lives of others and push my religion upon them. i don't like to think of it as pushing my religion on them, that is not what I am going to be doing. i am simply giving them another option.

of course it scares me. of course i am nervous. but those don't equal the amount of joy and happiness I have in my heart to share the Gospel. it seems odd to me, but it is true, that i already love the people i will serve and teach.

Christian rock...an oxymoron but i love it!

2007-11-26T14:08:00.000-08:00

thanksgiving was great.
it was awesome to have father home for a week.

Minnesota Minneapolis Mission.

I enter the MTC on January 30, 2008.

eventful evening.

2007-11-19T12:17:00.000-08:00

Tyler slept with me on saturday night. He has a real bad cough.
I woke up and smelled something horrid. I looked over at Tyler and he had throw up all over him and it was apparent that he had just woke up as well. So I stood up and got him off my bed. I tried to carry him but I couldn't handle the smell or the sight of throw up. I felt so bad because he was so scared because his mom wasn't there. So I walked in front of him holding my breath while he cried. I was going to try to clean him up but then mom appeared at the top of the stairs like an angel from heaven. She took care of him while I proceeded to throw up myself. I went back into my room to see where the throw up had gotten but the smell was so bad that I gagged until I threw up.
Mother cleaned up Tyler while I tried to go into my room to open the windows. Once again I threw up. I found a place to sleep where the smell wasn't and mother took care of the boy. I fell asleep pretty quick. In the morning I found out that he had thrown up two more times and gotten poop on the floor.
One more thing. I was scared to death when I saw that he had stuff on his face. I could tell that it was red and I freaked out and turned my light on. I thought he had thrown up blood because of his cough but it was spaghetti.
Sunday night mother made spaghetti for dinner per my request. I loved spaghetti and I requested it the day before it had been thrown up everywhere.
We will see how long it is before I can eat red sauce again.

patience.

2007-11-15T19:01:00.000-08:00

patience is something I have been praying to have. I wish I would have waited to start praying for it until after I received my mission call. :) Maybe then I wouldn't be freaking out but I would have my call because I hadn't been praying for patience.
But, I trust in the Lord. He knows what is up and what He is doing.
I just wish I had it.

*sorry mom.

2007-11-14T00:27:00.001-08:00

HOLY PISS!!!!
It is wednesday!

*mother hates the word piss.

2007-11-12T11:26:00.000-08:00

it should be here wednesday.
if it isn't i will cry and be sick.
i am getting so nervous as time goes on.
just waiting for the plan to come.
the plan for my life for the next...almost two years.
it's weird. i don't get to pick where i will be.
i just go where i am sent and serve my Savior.
preaching His gospel to people of His world.
sharing His Plan with them.
it is killing me. not knowing where i am going.
or when i leave.
this is when i must begin to learn patience.
something i haven't had much of.
everything happens for a reason.
"every plan is a tiny prayer to Father Time."
says death cab for cutie.
i agree with them.
three-ish more days.
hopefully the mail man is earlier on wednesday.
or i might pee my pants.

flip.

2007-11-08T22:44:00.000-08:00

today I got the mail. there was a big white envelope. i almost threw up.
i turned it around and it was some stupid thing for my sister. i was not happy. i totally freaked out when I saw it. i was let down. this is what i have to say to my sisters...get your mail to go to your own dang houses before i burn it all! six more days till wednesday. i hope it is here.

i love this world.

Me and my best friend Kim went on a hike up to the wind caves yesterday evening. It was beautiful! The wind caves were formed by the wind...just like the name says! It wasn't too bad of a hike, but for me who is pretty out of shape it was more difficult. But it was awesome! For some reason I am not being aloud to upload more photos so I will be back with more!

complete...eventually.

tagger.

2007-10-25T00:17:00.001-07:00

ps...I tag Melissa, Kristin, Mom, and Reale for the six facts.
peace.

six of me.

2007-10-24T12:33:00.000-07:00

I was tagged to write six facts about myself. Here we go!

1. Toothpaste makes my mouth water. It is so hot that when I am done brushing my teeth I just open my mouth and let the drool run out. Sometimes even my eyes water. Don't worry, this hasn't stopped me from brushing my teeth. But, sometimes I debate on whether or not to brush because of spiciness and hate for watery eyes.

2. I hate the smell of the leaves when they fall. Does this make sense? Maybe it is just when they are wet and on the ground. But there is a distinct smell of these fallen leaves that causes a scowl of disgust upon my face. Although, I do love stepping on crunchy leaves...that makes me smile. But that smile soon gets taken over again by the scowl.

3. I have to sleep with a fan on, or some consistent noise. This doesn't include people walking or stomping on the floor above me or kids crying or people talking. This includes things such as rain, the river flowing, or my fan. Since it doesn't always rain and it is too cold to have my window open for the river sounds I have a fan. It seems to blow the thoughts from my mind. Making it possible to relax and sleep with a clear head.

4. I think all romance novels should be burned. And never allowed to be read again. They contain absolutely no creativity and bring no good unto the reader. Anyone can write about sex and affairs. Seriously, they are ridiculous.

5. Papermate pens suck! I hate writing with them. If I have the option of writing with a papermate pen or my own blood I would choose to write with my own blood. I hate them that much. (That is a bit gruesome, I realize. But I am trying to make a point, okay?)

6. I am scared of standing in the dark. I can be sitting in the dark and be okay. But standing in the dark makes me want to die. I don't know why but this is how it is. Maybe because someone can come stab me by just estimating where I would be standing rather than sitting, or they can come tackle me from anywhere. Sitting is just more comfortable, in any circumstance.

There you have it. Six facts about me. It took me freakin' forever to do so enjoy and appreciate it! Straight up.

marry.

2007-10-20T23:02:00.000-07:00

Me and the roomies from last fall. Ker got married today so we went to the reception.
I went and saw Melissa and the boys, too. It took a little bit to get the picture of me and Tyler but he was so cute and patient! I love him.
And then there is Dylan. Every time I try to take a picture when he is smiling and being cute he stops when he sees the camera.
It was a fun day.

update-ish.

2007-10-19T14:54:00.001-07:00

2007-10-05T11:29:00.000-07:00

I have my dentist appointment this thursday, the eleventh. I prolly will have to get a lot of work done. Hopefully they can do it all in one day! that would rock! gotta get the shots taken care of...I am pretty stoked. Since I have decided to go on a mission school has pretty much been forgotten about. All I want to do is prepare to get out and serve a mission. I read a ton...nothing for school though! I have a ton of books to read before I go:

The Infinite Atonement
The Inevitable Apostacy
Lectures on Faith
Marvelous Work and Wonder
I would also like to finish Harry Potter before I go...but that is unlikely.

Approved readings on the mission:
Jesus The Christ
Our Heritage
True To The Faith
...and one more I forget

I would like to read all of them before I go. Also, I am trying to keep ontop of schoolwork. We'll see how that goes. I have set a schedule for my time. It includes when I need to study for school...each subject individually...and includes scripture study and reading all those books I listed. It's gonna be an intense semester...already is.

moscow.

2007-10-04T15:19:00.000-07:00

I had my missionary physical today. That was exciting. I was a baby and had to have my mommy come with me. I don't know how I am going to survive 18 months without her. But I cannot wait to get out in the field and serve. It will be amazing. I had a dream I was called to Moscow Russia but then it turned into Moscow Idaho. Please pray that I don't go to Idaho or Utah!

today.

2007-10-02T11:54:00.001-07:00

I got my mission papers!

my heart keeps telling me, hold your breath, you'll never learn a thing if you bail out now.

jen ben

2007-09-28T23:01:00.000-07:00

Tyler is the cutest kid. He started calling me jen jen and jen ben tonight while sitting in my lap. He would say, "sit up jen jen" and I would sit indian style and he would sit in my lap. Then I had to tickle his tummy and back until he finally fell asleep in my lap and I couldn't move in fear of waking him and starting it all over again. He totally rocks my world and makes life worth living...not that life isn't worth living.

ps...I am going on a mission.

Quotes from "Salamander" by Thomas Wharton:

"Eternal bliss meant you were happy always and at every moment, without ever passing through a time when you were not happy."

"The spoon tastes, not the broth."

"People will always pry, and interfere and try to improve, correct, or tear down what is supposedly finished and perfect."

"Sometimes the reader places her ear close to a book and hears a distant sighing of waves. In the crevice between the pages her fingers touch a wand of cold wet sand, studded with tiny fragments of iridescent shell. The ribbed and sloping paper itself seems to invite her. She wades in cautiously, her naked feet moving like snails over the sharp stones."

"I feel as if heaven lies close upon the earth and I between the two, breathing through the eye of a needle."

"On the shelf or just opened, a book was all possibility, a wondrous box of paper that could contain anything."

you can lose yourself in your courage.

sister melissa asked me my most favorite quotes or lyrics from songs. this is a hard thing to do. There are many things that have been said or sung that mean a lot to me. Here are some that I love either because it describes me or it is just amazingly deep.

"i live like a hermit in my own head. but when the sun shines again, I'll open the blinds and let the light in." death cab for cutie. marching bands of manhattan.

"Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in it's tissue." from The Art Of Fiction.

“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Some men are friends with the whole world in their hearts, and there are others that hate themselves and spread their hatred around like butter on hot bread." from East Of Eden

Missy Higgins finally came. She and I are having a great night together. Also, there is a new member of my family...a new beautiful notebook. It was only five dollars and it is wonderful. It has been raining all the day long and it is great. I love the rain. I love thunder and lightning. It is amazing. But with the wonders of rain and clouds comes cold weather. It is currently 46 degrees outside and approximately 60 degrees inside my home. It is nice but a little distracting. The cold makes it hard to focus and sleep. That is why I am here. Well, not really. I am writing a paper, well, I am supposed to be. We'll see how that goes.

I love the world: epistle.
I am currently listening to:peachy by missy higgins.
I am happy because: I am laying in mother's bed.
I like it when: I find a wonderfully amazing scripture.

Where I Stood.

"Where I Stood" by Missy Higgins

I don't know what I've done
or if I like what I've begun
something told me to run, and honey, you know me, it's all or none
there were sounds in my head,
little voices whispering, that I should go and this should end
and I found myself listening.

'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
all I know is that I should
and I don't know if I can stand another hand upon you
all I know is that I should
'cause she can love you more than I could
she who dares to stand where I stood.

See, I thought love was black and white
that it was wrong or it was right
but you ain't leavin' without a fight
and I think I am just as torn inside

'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
all I know is that I should
and I don't know if I can stand another hand upon you
all I know is that I should
'cause she will love you more than I could
she who dares to stand where I stood.
And I won't before the way you are
if ever you should call
you meant more to me than anyone I've ever loved at all
but you taught me how to trust myself
and so I say to you, this is what I have to do.

'Cause I don't know who I am, who I am without you
all I know is that I should
and I don't know if I can stand another hand upon you
all I know is that I should
cause she will love you more than I could
she who dares to stand where I stood
she who dares to stand where I stood.

Missy Higgins is the most amazing singer/songwriter. All of her songs are so beautiful and full of passion. Her songs really get to me...to the depth of who I am and my soul. It is amazing.

On my way to SLC again, then to Orem. This time, in the car, the nice air conditioned car. Also, you'd think living at home would make having clean clothes more apparent. It doesn't. I think I have less clean clothes now then I did living where there was no washer and dryer free to use. It's pretty pathetic. Even worse not having the two hours it would take to do laundry free. So, I go down south with the last pair of clean underwear and the jeans that haven't been washed in two days. But, life is good and I am happy. That's all that I ask.

scrabble.

today is the day of labor. therefore, I had no work nor school. I woke up around noon today. I called my sister, melissa, because I had the desire to see her and my nephews. so, I got myself ready, climbed in my amazing truck and off I went to the gas station. I realized I probably needed oil so I made a stop for some. then, I was indeed on my way. I thought my truck was going to fall into pieces when I got on the interstate and was going 75 mph. But, we made it here in one piece. Tyler was pretty happy to see me. they are the cutest. I watched "chitty bang bang" with Tyler and I tried to take a nap but was woken by Tyler jumping off of the top of the couch right on top of me. I about hurled. chitty chitty bang bang is my movie and I have yet to watch it. Tyler took it the day I bought it and won't give it up. I asked him if I could take it home and he almost cried. so when it was time for bed he was sad cause he didn't get to watch it before I took it home. so, I decided he could keep it. he was pretty stoked. he was so tired and didn't know what to do with himself so he was running in circles aimlessly. it was pretty funny!
also, there is the best place here...frozen custard! not only that, but they have amazing onion rings. it was probably the best meal I have had since mother quit cooking.
sister and I played scrabble. it was pretty amazing, we rock. and the water here is disgusting. if it is at all possible for water to taste heavy, this water is it. it reminds me of hotel water. and I had the worst diet coke of my life. back to the frozen custard. if it were at all possible to make love to a frozen desert this would be the one.
all in all, today was a great day. full of adventures comparable to huck finn.

not creative.

I want to blog. I want to say something creative. But I do not feel creative tonight. Maybe I will try again tomorrow.

hilarity.

2007-08-29T21:32:00.000-07:00

if people only knew the extent of my hilarity.
hilarity is a wonderful word. I even used it right the first time I used it.
when it reaches...late...like ten thirty I become funny, well more funny than I already am.

there is an owl outside. when I heard him I had the sudden urge to go a-looking for him. wouldn't it be fun to hug a fat and furry owl...only if they allowed it.

I went to taco time this evening. my shirt reaks of fried fake mexican food. I hate that smell that seems to become a part of your clothing. it also happens when you walk into a subway. you don't even have to stay in there long enough to buy anything or even look at the menu for the stench to become your new perfume.

huck finn is calling. I have to finish reading it by friday. super.
