Blessed!



After being sealed in the temple, it has really opened my eyes to the importance of family. I always knew that it was important but only to a point. I've learned that I didn't gain the family that I by luck.. it's by blessing that I've been placed with the family that I have. With that knowledge, I know that my future children are choosing Blaine and I to parent them and teach them. To me, that's not a 'have to', it's a priviledge. 
( No, I'm not pregnant..)  
With that side note, I want to express my testimony of my Savior lives and I know without a doubt that I can return to him with my family forever. My covenants that I made with Blaine and my Heavenly Father in the temple will only make me a stronger and more righteous person. I'm grateful to have the gospel in my life to teach me and tell me how to return to Him. I love my life and the people who are in it. I cant be anymore grateful!

I threw in the towel!

I finally signed up for a blog! I figured why not, right? So what's going on now? Well, we just moved into a nice duplex, what feels like out in the middle of now where! They are so much better than the apartments that we were in before! We are extremely happy!
Right now the archery deer hunt is going on so Blaine is busy busy! He has shot at 2 deer but they both ran off and Blaine never found them. So he's pretty upset about that but next month is another hunt so he will make up for it for sure! He can't wait. As for me, I'm still trying to figure out a hobby. Right now, I'm just walking around the neighborhood and I'm really enjoying it! Especially since it's cooled off quite a bit. I'm trying the HCg diet and I'm loving it!I'm not quite sure how much I've lost, but I can feel a difference in my clothes and in my rings! I thought it was going to be really hard because I love food so much, but it's a lot easier than i thought. I eat anywhere from 500-750 calories a day and drink a lot of water. The drops keep me from being hungry all the time. I feel GREAT! This is, by far, the easiest diet I've ever been on! ( and I've had my fair share!)
It's been a lot harder to adjust living away from momma and daddy  than I thought, not just because daddy would sneak me a little cash when I needed it but because I've lived with the both of them all my life then all of a sudden it's goodbye home, hello Utah! It's a big eye opener for me to see how much they did for me. I feel like I never really showed them how appreciative I am for them when I was there. I'm so thankful for my parents and my sisters for all of their love, and support, and understanding when I wasn't. There isn't a day that goes by that I miss coming home to hug my daddy or to me and my mom sitting on the couch after work watching Opera or Ellen DeGeneres and Candace and I going after to school getting a drink at Sonic. I have a great family, and I am very blessed to be able to say that. I have an eternal family that I get to enjoy for the rest of forever!

I know this post is a little sparatic but that's what happens when I don't have a whole lot of people to talk to. HAHA! All in all-- life is great! I'm thankful!
