Good Things to Come-Jeffrey R. Holland

I watched this video on someone else's blog today and it struck a place deep in my heart.  I needed to see it today.  Probably only about 1/3 of the things Kyle and I have dealt with since we have met make it to this blog.  Others are just to personal or hard to talk about.  It's times when life gets too hard to deal with anymore when I notice my Heavenly Father sends me a reminder that he is with me and he is watching over me.  Even so, I would sure like to know what the point of all these catastrophes are.  And I would love to know why we are having to deal with them one right after another.  Don't you think he could maybe spread them out over a few years at least?  I know there are lessons in here somewhere, but it sure doesn't make it any easier now.  Now that I'm done complaining enjoy the video.  The new website http://www.mormon.org/ has tons of amazing inspirational videos.  So if you are in need of something to do you should head on over to the site and check some of them out. 

10 Things...

Thanks Chelsea!!


Terms of this award: must list 10 things about yourself, thank the person who gave you this award and pass it on to 10 wonderful bloggers.
 
1.  My favorite color is red. 
2.  I have never broken a bone (knock on wood).
3.  I have 2 dogs.  Lily and Button.  They are currently having trauma with being apart from us so often.  I expected Kyle and Button to have the hardest time but surprise! it's been Lily.  Button is just going with the flow.  She is beside herself to see us but once we are out of sight she seems fine.  Lily on the other hand is just sad. 
4.  I love to read.  Preferably fiction, but any book will do if I'm bored.
5.  I am not a morning person!
6.  I hate raisins.
7.  I enjoy doing crafty things.
8.  I am loving being married (even with all the challenges it has brought with it).  Love you Kyle!!!
9.  I love technology.  If I could afford it I would buy every new gadget that comes along.  I would love an iPad or Kindle (either one will do).
10.  I'm addicted to blogging. 

Okay so I pass this along to: Natalie, Emily, Mindy, Marlee, Britney, Charlotte, Katrina, Mandy, Stacey, Karen, and anyone else who would like to take on the challenge.

Relay for Life

We are participating in the Relay for Life again this year.  We started participating after the Petersen's lost their Grandma Vone to cancer many years ago.  Since then we lost Claude and my Grandpa Farrell as well.  Janalee is a survivor of thyroid cancer and the Petersen's uncle Bruce is currently fighting cancer.  So as you can see this a very personal thing for our family.  If you can help me out click on the button below to make a contribution.  Online donations have to be a minimum of $10, but donations can be sent to me as well.  Even a $1 would help us reach our goal.  Thank You!!!
