<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">So
about once a year every member of our church gets asked to talk at sacrament
meeting. This Last Sunday it was Michael and I. Can't say I love talking in front
of people. But I survived :) Several people told me I should post my talk somewhere
and that other people needed to hear it. So here is my attempt to share it with
others, enjoy! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Hello
for those of you that don’t know me, which is probably a majority of you… I’m
Brooke McBride. I have to tell you that every time we have received a calling
and met with Brother Smith I have looked at him in relief and said oh good I
thought you were going to ask us to talk! Apparently I should have just kept my
mouth closed cause well here we are… No hard feelings Brother Smith. </span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">We
are somewhat new to the ward so I will introduce our family, this is my husband
Michael whom you will hear from shortly and our fury child a miniature
dachshund is anxiously awaiting our arrival back home. Michael and I are still
considered newlyweds I think, we were married in the Boise temple in March of
2013. Michael grew up in Meridian, Idaho where he attended Meridian High
School. He was raised a member of the church by his amazing parents Brent &
Jackie McBride. </span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">As
for me, I actually grew up in Hidden Springs, my parents’ house was the first
home to be built and it has been so awesome to be back here and see how many
new homes and beautiful families have joined the community. I attended Bishop
Kelly High School and then transferred to and graduated from Boise High School.
Unlike Michael, I was raised Catholic by my wonderful parents Greg and Danielle
Eisenbeiss. This last May marked three years for me as a member of this church.
I love this church and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else today. Except maybe
sitting down there instead of standing up here, that’d be nice. This is only my
third time being up here so bare with me!</span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

Michael and I were asked to talk about our own conversion stories along with a
gospel principle of our choosing. First I would like to share with you my path
in life that has led to my conversion. </span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">After
being raised Catholic and growing up in catholic schools surrounded by
Catholics... I’m sure many people would wonder how I would ever wind up here in
this chapel talking to you guys about being an LDS convert. And for a while I’m
not sure I would have known what to tell them other than "it felt like it
was what I was supposed to do and what felt right". But now that life has
taken me forward a few years everything is a lot clearer to me now. For me it
all started when I began to realize that I was just going through the motions
as a Catholic and the only reason I went to a catholic church at that point was
because I had been raised in the church. I knew very little about it's history,
teachings & most importantly I didn't know that any of it I actually
believed and had faith in for myself. I was relying on the faith of those
around me. I was like many lost kids that just went through the motions and did
what I was told and raised to believe because that’s all I had ever known. Don’t
get me wrong, I never felt like it was a bad place to be. In fact, whenever I
had a hard time with something my first thought was maybe I should go to
church, cause that’s a good place to be right? I watched my parents get through
trials in their own life with the support of God. So I always knew it was
important to have faith and to have a relationship with our Heavenly Father,
because of their example I occasionally prayed when I really needed something
or was going through a rough time. I went to church when my parents did and
never complained, okay I see my mom disagreeing with that statement… maybe
sometimes I complained. But in all seriousness I really wasn’t opposed to going
to church and to trying to build a relationship with God. But as I started
going through the process to be confirmed in the Catholic Church, which doesn’t
happen until high school, I realized something was missing for me. My faith
wasn't apart of my daily life, it was just something I was raised in and
something I knew I could turn to when life got hard. My parents always raised
me to believe in God and to live a virtuous life. But when I went to high
school and saw so many kids that were raised this same way but then did things
that didn't stay true to what we believed, I was confused and discouraged. It
frustrated me that so many of us treated faith and a relationship with God as
just putting in an hour on Sunday, rather than a lifestyle and something that
weighed into every decision we made. I decided I wanted to live my life a
little differently. I wanted to live a more virtuous life. I wanted to be
abstinent till I was married, I wanted to avoid harmful substances such as
alcohol and drugs and I wanted to do more with my life than going to parties
every weekend. Yes I’m sure a big part of this was due to my dad being a cop
and I knew I would have never gotten away with it, but at the same time I truly
never really desired those things. Even before I was a member of this church I
just never wanted those things and I really do attribute that to having good
parents who were really good example and that made pretty great decisions
themselves. Growing up this way and choosing to make these choices led me to
seem to really click with kids in the LDS church because they were some of the
only people I could find that chose to make similar choices to my own. I found
a lot of good friends that wanted these same things and I was blessed to date
guys who respected my decisions through out high school. And the more I hung
around them the more I realized, that there was something that I was still
missing. As I dated a boy who was preparing for his lds mission I learned a lot
about the LDS church. Not by him teaching and preaching at me but by his families
example and his devotion to his church that led him to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">want (key word there)</b> to serve a
two-year mission. I was amazed that a boy at the age of eighteen wanted to
devote his life to serving the Lord and bring others to Christ. The 18 year
olds I knew from school were no where close to that. I wanted to understand how
someone my age could have faith so deep and so strong that they would want to
do something like this. I became more and more interested in the LDS church. As
this desire to learn more about the church was growing inside of me, I made a
decision to give my catholic faith one last shot as I took off for Florida to
go play soccer for a private catholic university. My time in Florida was
amazing and I do not regret ever making the decision to go there. In Florida I
met some of the most amazing people and got to be apart of a team I will never
forget. However, it was in Florida that I realized all I wanted to do was go
home and learn and explore more about other religions. When I returned home
that is exactly what I did. But the LDS church kept sticking out to me and I
kept meeting people who were members of it. At the time I thought it was just a
coincidence but now I know it was far from that. It was apart of Gods plan for
me. Soon, I began going to the LDS church to see what it was all about. I
attended sacrament with a family I was really close to and started reading the
book of mormon. I started to apply the principles that the church taught and I
loved the way it made me feel. I can't say I had any big aww-haw moment, I just
liked how I felt when I went to church there and I liked the person it was
encouraging me to be. Although I had this great feeling every time I went to
church I really still didn't know much about the LDS church. So I spoke with
members and people I knew to learn more about the church. I even had deep
conversations with one of my mom’s coworkers who had left the church. I wanted
to hear different views because I knew it was a big decision for me. As I
searched and prayed for guidance I eventually decided to meet with some of the
lds missionaries to learn more. As I met with them several times a week I kept
desiring to learn more and I was on what I like to call "a spiritual high".
Every time I left our discussions I always left feeling so happy and good. I
knew that there was no way that if this was wrong and wasn’t a decision I
should be making Heavenly Father would not let me feel this way and that he
would give me some sort of feeling of uncertainty. It would have been very easy
to feel uncertain it was the first time I was ever going to make a decision
that I knew my parents would be unhappy about and I knew it would be a lifestyle
change. But Heavenly Father never game me a bad feeling about the choice I was
about to make.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found the
concepts of the church made so much sense and I really believed everything my
missionaries taught me. I didn’t know the things they taught me to be true. But
I believed it, I had faith in it all. I didn't really have to think about it
much I just had a really good feeling inside that it was good and that the
decision I was about to make was approved by God. When I chose to be baptized I
still really had a long ways to go. But I knew it was where I wanted to be
every sunday and I knew I felt good when I went to church there and I liked the
person I was becoming when applying the principles they taught me to my life.
So with that being said, I was baptized. Since that day I was baptized did I
question my conversion? absolutely. Converting to another religion despite what
your family feels is right or wants for you is really hard. Especially when you
are as close to your family as I was and still am to mine. But it wasn't about
what my family wanted for me or what my catholic friends thought, it was about
what made me happy and what made me a better version of myself. And everything
about me wanted to be a Mormon. Although a lot of times I didn't really know
exactly why besides the fact that it felt like it was the right place for me to
be and the right thing for me to do. What I can tell you three years later, is
that over and over again I have had experiences in my life that have confirmed
to me why I was baptized into this church. Every time I go to the temple I learn
more about the church and receive personal revelation that confirms
to me I made the right choice. The Lds church has taught me gratitude like I've
never felt before, it has shown me guidance in my life and in my daily
decisions that I never knew I could have from my heavenly father & most of
all it has shown me how to love others and how to serve others like I never
have before. I've never felt the spirit so much in my life and have never had
so many prayers answered. The organization of this church is perfect in every
way. I respect and appreciate all religions. But the LDS religion has changed
my life and I'm so glad my life is based on the principles it teaches me
because I become a better version of myself every time I work on applying them
to my life. I'm so glad I made the decision I did three years ago.</span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">So now
my question for you is where are you at with your testimony? Have you become
converted to the gospel or are you still building your conversion story?</span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">The
principle I want to focus on today is pretty simple but at the same time pretty
complicated. The principle I want to talk about is Faith. Which I believe
really goes hand in hand with our testimonies and what we believe. </span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">What
sorts of things do we as members of this church have faith in?</span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;">
<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Well
lets look at all the attributes that we consider to be apart of a testimony of
our church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .25in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">#1. I know that God is our Heavenly
Father and He loves us.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">How
can we come to know this? What things can we do to really learn and know for
ourselves that this is true? For me it was a matter of establishing a
relationship with God. Growing up I never really thought of him as a father. I
remember one time lying in bed thinking about what the missionaries had talked
to me about that day and I remember being very conflicted about the fact that I
should talk to and love Heavenly Father like he was my own dad. It blew my mind
that these people were able to love someone they couldn’t see or touch at the
same level that they loved their own earthly fathers. But over the years the
more I have prayed and seen heavenly fathers hand in my life I have come to
understand this more. So I believe one of the best ways we can come to know
that God is our heavenly father and that he loves us is simply by praying and
recognizing his hand in our lives. The more we talk to God and recognize all
the things he has a hand in everyday the more we will come to love him and
develop a relationship with him and truly understand that he is our Heavenly
Father and he loves us and knows us individually.</span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Now
this part of a testimony was new to me. As a previous catholic I had always
been taught to view them as one being and not to think of them as separate
beings. So because of this you think I would have had a really hard time with
this. But surprisingly this has just always made sense to me. I think even as a
catholic visually in my mind I always still saw them as separate we just never
talked about them as being separate beings. So how do we come to know this is
true?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And how do we come to know
that Jesus was God’s son and that he is our savior and redeemer? For me it is
in the scriptures that we can come to know this. When we read the stories and
the miracles that Jesus performed we can better understand what he really did
for us. Lately I have been following a story of a local woman who years back
went through something that no one should ever have to go through. Long Story
made short, Her husband had been having an affair and ended up being killed for
it. So one night not only did she learn of the death of her husband and the
father to her five kids, she also learned that he had been unfaithful to her.
She has recently started a blog recounting the feelings she felt and how she
continued to raise her five children and rely on her faith to get through this
experience. While Reading her blog I really felt for her. I felt just a glimpse
of her pain and I really hurt for her as if her pain was my own. And as
horrible of an example as this might be it made me think of what Jesus went
through in the garden of Gethsemane when he experienced every pain and sorrow
we would go through and bled through every pore. And just getting such a little
taste of what that was actually like made me realize the sacrifice he made for
us and how amazing he truly was. He is our savior and our redeemer. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">I
will be honest this is part of my testimony that I really struggled with for a
long time because for me our whole church relies on this being true so I wasn’t
going to accept it half heartedly. But I want to share with you something that
was explained to me in a talk given by a previous ward member. He posed a
question to the congregation, he said the following, “The restoration of our
church is based off one boy’s revelation being true. What would you as members
think if you got to Heaven and found out otherwise? Would you still be happy
with the way you lived your life? Or Would you have wished you had lived your
life differently? The only response this church member joked was sometimes I
wish I had an extra day like sunday to mow my lawn and do laundry… but besides
that nope, I wouldn’t have changed a thing!” And that brothers and sisters is
so true I know that this church would not be as perfectly organized as it is
and would not teach us to do such good things if it was founded on false
doctrine and restored by a false prophet. There is nothing our church teaches
us that makes us a bad person. Everything we “give up” persay is good for us.
Not Drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco or becoming addicted to coffee is
something our bodies thank us for because they aren’t good for us, everyone
knows that, even members not of our faith. Not being in control of your body
whether it’s a caffeine addiction or an addiction to a harmful drug is a scary
thing. Waiting until marriage to be sexually active and not partaking in
pornography is good for our marriages. These are principles that are true and
right. Every one knows that, but a lot of people still do it regardless.
Focusing on being clean from these things is righteous and it is true. This
church is based off good principles and is organized for the success of its
people and such a perfect church could not have been restored by a false
prophet and once we come to realize these things there is no way we can deny
the truth of this church and the prophet who restored it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe that Joseph Smith translated
the book of Mormon by the power of God. When reading the book of Mormon on a
daily basis it is so evident to me the power of the book. My days are so much
better and my choices so much easier when I am actively reading the Book of
Mormon. I know that it was written through the power of God and that it can
provide us more guidance in our daily lives and I know if you haven’t already
you can strengthen your faith by reading it daily and praying to know the truth
of it. </span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Like
I just mentioned this church is too perfect to be anything other than the Lord’s
church. Yes the people of the church will never be perfect but the church
itself is perfect. It has organizations for young women to learn and prepare to
be good wives and mothers. It has organizations for young men to be taught to
be good worthy men who know how to work hard for their family and to avoid the
temptations of the world. It has relief society for the woman of the ward to
learn to serve each other and raise righteous children. It has priesthood that’s
authority is traced all the way back to Jesus Christ. We have a numbers of
programs the church provides us such as taking care of the poor and helping
those struggling with addictions, the resources the church has for us are
endless. We are so lucky to be apart of this church. I know that this is the
Lord’s Church. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This
has always been one of the things I have loved most about this church. I know
that Heavenly Father would never leave us without guidance to an ever-changing
world with constant new temptations. We are so blessed to have a living prophet
that can receive direct revelation from God to help us understand how to stay
righteous and how to get through certain trials that this day and age brings
us. We can come to know the living prophet is true by seeing him guide us to
avoid temptations that haven’t even happened yet. The prophets led us to avoid
tobacco before the rest of the world even knew it was harmful. They instructed
us to have food storage to prepare us for the natural disasters we didn’t even
know were coming. They encouraged us to prepare for a bad economy when everyone
else thought we still had many years before a downfall. The constant guidance
given to us from our prophets is something we should always count twice in our
blessings. Thomas S. Monson has been called by God to instruct us at this time
and every time he addresses us our testimonies grow of this truth. </span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Having a
testimony is what faith is all about. It is believing in things and knowing
they are true even when they can’t be seen. I hope if anything my talk today at
least testifies that I do have faith and I have a testimony of this church. I
encourage all of you to not be complacent and to not sit here and just go
through the motions. I encourage you to go home tonight and right your own
conversion story and reevaluate your own testimonies so you can see where you
are strong and where you are lacking and start strengthening the areas you feel
weak in because it is with a strong foundation of faith that we can get through
the hard times that may come. I will leave you with my favorite scripture,
Helaman Chapter 5 Verse 12, “</span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">And
now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who
is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the
devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea,
when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no
power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because
of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation
whereon if men build they cannot fall.” Brothers and Sisters I leave with you
my testimony that as we build our own testimonies and strengthen our faith in
the foundation set by the Lord that we will be able to withstand any whirlwinds
the devil may set forth and that this church gives us the principles and
foundation that we need to be better people and more like Christ and to have
faith that can get us through life’s toughest obstacles. Whether you have been
building your faith and your testimony since birth or are just starting now, I
encourage you to always strive to strengthen it, and to never stop progressing
and I leave these things with you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. </span><span style="font-family: "Lantinghei SC Extralight"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"></span></div>

This Woman Right Here Has Become My Best Friend & My Role Model</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& Conveniently she's my sister too :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know she will say she doesn't have it all figured out </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that she is not always a perfect mama/wife/and so on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but she really is my greatest example. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have so much to learn from her & her cute little perfect family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a list of things that I want to become thanks to her example: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-a mama who raises children who know and live the gospel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-a mama who is not of the world and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
doesn't encourage her children to be either</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-a mama who answers every "Why" or "What's that" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-a mama who encourages books over tv and electronics</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-a mama who stays at home with her kids </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but still has her own career and goals and dreams</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that she is still maintaining and going after</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-a mama who is frugal and diligently budgets and plans for the future </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- & most importantly a mama who obtains all the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
qualities her daughters will want to become </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and her sons will want to marry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love You Erin, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks For Being My Friend </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As Well As My Sister </div>

Hopefully you'll see this the next time you have time (ya right) to get on your blog again! ;) </div>

Michael and I have been waiting since January for this trip </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we were so excited to leave that we literally </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
got three hours of sleep the night before </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because we were so anxious!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to an all inclusive resort </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico called RIU Santa Fe</div>

We had to move out of our perfect little guest house :( unfortunately the owner of the main property and our guest house had to move for work and had to sell our house. It was very fast and unexpected and happened RIGHT in the MIDDLE of my MIDTERMs week, it was great. But we got over it and moved on to our next little place... the upstairs of my parents home. We weren't thrilled about moving back in with our parents. But after lots of prayer and decision making as to where we should move next we decided it would be the smartest move to save money this next year while we wait to hear in March of 2015 where I will be going to graduate school. So the upstairs of my parents home it is. We haven been super spoiled here with an amazing new ward family, and plenty of space now that we have taken over my parents bonus room (& turned it into our living room) and their other two guest rooms upstairs that we turned into my study room and the other our bedroom. Although Hidden Springs is quite a drive to school and work for us we have enjoyed all the extra time together carpooling back and forth. And after living out here and meeting our new church family we have fallen in love with Hidden Springs and really hope it will be our future home, we would love to raise our kids here and find a house of our own here.<br />
<br />
Besides moving, we just have been keeping busy with work and school. I just finished another semester of school and Michael just got a new job closer to home working for a packaging and shipping company. He's really excited to start something new and I'm really excited to be done with another semester of school! This last winter Michael and I decided to plan a vacation/ overdue honeymoon to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for this summer. So we are so excited to leave this Wednesday and have a week of paradise, be expecting pictures soon! :))<br />
<br />
We are so blessed to have such amazing family that will house us while we anxiously save for wherever we may have to move for graduate school and we are so excited for this vacation we both really need it after this crazy unexpected move!<br />
<br />
Here's a few pictures of our latest adventures :<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For some reason, salt, caramel and chocolate just go together. Perfectly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little bit of salt brings out the flavors of the caramel and
chocolate...it doesn't make it salty, it makes it flippin' fabulous!
This bar will rock your world. Rock it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><b>Shopping List</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 box chocolate cake mix</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4 eggs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 stick melted butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 box powdered sugar (about 4 cups)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 (8 oz) cream cheese (at room temperature)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 cup caramel topping (the kind you use for ice cream sundaes)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 tablespoon Kosher or Sea Salt, divided (don't use basic table salt, get a good Kosher or Sea Salt!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 350 degrees</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish (I always use Pam).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In one bowl, combine one box of any chocolate cake mix, two eggs and 1 stick of melted butter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spread mixture into prepared dish (this will be your "crust" on the bottom).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a separate bowl, mix with a hand mixer, one box of powdered sugar,
cream cheese, remaining 2 eggs, caramel topping and 1/2 tablespoon of
salt until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread on top of crust
mixture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bake 38-40 minutes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The center of your bars will be a little wobbly when you pull it out of
the oven (it won't be completely set like a cake). At this point,
sprinkle your remaining 1/2 tablespoon of salt down over the warm bars.
Let it cool on the counter for 30 minutes before sticking it in the
fridge for at least 2 hours (or up to 2 days). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut into bars and serve.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will love, love, love this sophisticated twist on a chocolate bar. Happy eating!</div>

I don't know how easy it is cause I'm not much of a sewer.<br />
My grandma promised to help me on this one.<br />
But if it works and its not too complicated I will post another blogpost of our ending results and if we have any good tips to share.<br />
But I was just so excited about this idea I had to share it with you guys immediately!<br />
If any of you decide to try it too let me know how it goes :)<br />
<br />
So here's the idea:<br />
Find a cheap cute bikini you like... yup thats right I said bikini or if you're like me and have some bikinis sitting in a drawer that you never use now, grab one of those!<br />
I don't know how big of a problem this has been for others, but for me... finding a cute tankini that I like that's not a bajillion dollars is near impossible!<br />
However, there is always so many cute bikini options for cheap (not fair).<br />
Well here is a new option for you!!! -->>><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf17gOZGC6xmK-nHypSMbo6W_PNmO7i5XMo805VJ24WvLombKZ9A-5CF4HMAO-pFEx96B1LupECkt2CU9ReN1_JfoCzsX2p96CVdqatWCMA6y4zM0gbJiSdGABXAObXz8qOrYBDgxty1IZ/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-02-09+at+12.04.51+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf17gOZGC6xmK-nHypSMbo6W_PNmO7i5XMo805VJ24WvLombKZ9A-5CF4HMAO-pFEx96B1LupECkt2CU9ReN1_JfoCzsX2p96CVdqatWCMA6y4zM0gbJiSdGABXAObXz8qOrYBDgxty1IZ/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-02-09+at+12.04.51+AM.png" height="320" width="217" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I don't really love the color combination they used here... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the idea is genius!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Change your bikinis into tankinis.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the blog link with the step by step directions:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just another option for all you pretty girls out there rockin' tankinis :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It REALLY influenced me. Her optimism is to an extreme I have never before seen and reading her blog just made me really happy.<br />

Here's a talk she gave to a high school (I think) not sure what the lecture is she talks about at one point. But her thoughts she shares in this talk are now what I want to base my life around and I think you should too.

This year has been full of MAJOR events for our family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a little recap of our crazy awesome year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the year came to an end </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried to really think of ways Michael and I could improve our lives in 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some family traditions I wanted to start & some goals for our family for the next year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some new things we tried this year that will hopefully turn into family traditions:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Michael's Birthday the past two years we have gone to Conference </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and visited our family in Utah. Although it might not be possible every year to go to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
conference we really want to make the effort to go see our family in Utah so hopefully </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we can stick with this :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also for Michael's Birthday I surprised him with 24 (small presents) for his 24th Birthday. I really want to do this for each of our kids 16th birthdays because it was so fun to do and made it extra special (well at least I thought so ;) )<br />
<br />
At the end of October we participated in the Down Syndrome Awareness Walk with my two favorite girls Mikayla and Kelaya. We will definitely be doing this every year, we had so much fun and love the kids so much! The best part was after the walk and seeing all the kids dances, we had so much fun and were so excited to be apart of it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For thanksgiving we went on a walk on the greenbelt with Kya and my parents and there pups Callie and Ceadar. Although I loved the walk it was really a replacement for what we were really wanting to do that morning which is the Annual Idaho Food Bank Turkey Run 5k. I did it last Thanksgiving and loved it! It's a perfect way to start a day full of eating food! So were hoping that next year we will be able to go and get a bunch of our family to participate as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the 23rd of December so Christmas Eve-Eve Michael and I watched The Nativity Story Movie that Jackie, Michael's mom let us borrow. I can't think of a better way to start the Christmas celebration. I'm so glad we watched it, and I definitely want to start watching that every year as a tradition! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Christmas Eve Michael and I spent time with both our families, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
first at Erin (Michael's Sister's) House- We acted out the nativity scene from the bible with our niece and nephews and then watched Elf. This is michael's family's tradition and we will definitely be continuing this, loved it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
second, we went to my aunt andrea's house with my side of the family for a beautiful dinner she had prepared and a white elephant gift exchange where we had family all over the country skyping in to participate, it was so fun to see their faces on the ipad and to socialize with everyone who was there in person as well :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Michael and I also decided to start the tradition of exchanging our gifts to each other on Christmas eve. We figured the next morning we would be rushing off to our parents houses and once we have kids we will be so focused and excited on them opening their gifts that it would be more fun to have a special moment together to exchange gifts the night before. I'm really glad we did it and we will definitely continue that! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas Day was spent with all our family, we had breakfast and gift exchanges in the morning with my parents and my brother and then went to my mom's parents house for lunch and another white elephant gift exchange. Then to Michael's parents house for dinner and on the way home got to stop and see my dad's parents again although it was a quick visit since we saw them the night before. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was crazy running around to all the different houses but I'm so glad we got to spend our day with all our family. There is nothing else I would have rather done than be able to be surrounded by so much love! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New Years Eve has never really been that big of a deal for me in the past. Before being married I was always so concerned as to what my plans were for new years eve that I never really focused on the fact that there was a whole new year ahead and time to refocus on certain goals and to really look back on my year. But this year as a married woman, who for the most part just stayed home and enjoyed new years eve with my hubby it wasn't as chaotic and I really had time to think about what my hopes were for 2014. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started a new tradition that I'm hoping sticks, since we don't have our own kids and since we wanted to do something with friends that night as well, we invited our friends Hannah & Austin to come with us on this new idea. Michael and I went to the store and put together a basket of New Years Eve goodies, party hats, light up necklaces, sparkling cider (thanks hannah for bringing that!!), some plastic fancy sparkling cider cups, & some coloring books and crayons to bring to the hospital for all the kids stuck in there that have had a rough year. I don't honestly know where the idea came from I just knew I wanted to do some form of service on new years eve & the thought came to my mind, so we did it and I'm so glad we did! :) </div>

So on new years day I did try a little harder to think of ways how Michael and I could be a little better and this is what I came up with & these are some of our goals for 2014:<br />
-eating our meals together at the table <br />
-remembering to kneel when saying our prayers together every night & morning & in order to do this we need to get on a more scheduled routine where we try to wake up and go to bed at the same time everyday<br />
-Nightly scripture study<br />
-working out together daily<br />
-organizing our finances more & start saving for a down payment on a house<br />
-go on at least one date a week whether its something really laid back and at home or actually going out and doing something<br />
-having family home evening EVERY monday night<br />
<br />
This was just some of the things we could come up with but we know there is alot more we can work on together and we both have individual goals for ourselves as well.<br />
<br />
& I'm proud to say we didn't waste anytime getting to work! On new years day I planned out 52 date night ideas and put them in a jar so we could always have something planned. I separated them by dates where we stay in the house, date nights that cost money and we go out and date nights that don't cost money but that we do go out and do something. I give all credit of this idea to pinterest, such good ideas on there!!<br />
We also have already planned our next family home evening, we are going to do something very similar to my other idea, and we are going to plan 52 family home evening ideas to put in a jar so we have them all planned out for the year. Hopefully this will help us be more successful with actually having family home evening.<br />
<br />
2013 was definitely one of the greatest years of our life. It's going to be hard to beat!<br />
But I am so excited to see what this new year has to bring!<br />
<br />
& what better way to start the new year with more pictures of Kya :))))<br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Dear Michael,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">The first day I met you we sat next to each other at the very far table all the way against the wall at Merrit's cafe. I didn't know much about you except that you really liked Duke (you were decked out head to toe from your recent trip there) and that you were very loud, a jokester, & that you were getting along really well with my brother (that scared me by the way) who sat across from us. We were visiting with a bunch of mutual friends who had all decided to go to Merrit's that night over Thanksgiving Break. That night I was really tired and didn't talk much. Just listened to you talk to Taylor about basketball and joke with my brother (very LOuDLY) about anything and everything. I thought you were funny but decided not to say a word because you were quick with your humor and I was scared you were going to say some smartalic remark that would upset my overall tired, sensitive, insecure mood at the time. What I didn't know is that I was sitting next to the man I was going to marry. But the reason I'm writing this letter is years from now when we get so wrapped up in raising our kids, paying the bills, and cleaning absolutely everything (oh wait we already do that), I want you to remember that your humor is the number one thing that gets me through the long days and I have enjoyed your humor since the first day I met you. Even when I was really tired and didn't want to talk to anyone that day in Merrit's I could have sat there all night and listened to you joke around with everyone. I'm so glad that our kids will get to have a dad who will always keep them laughing and a dad who will always keep everyone smiling. But most of all, I'm just really glad my life will never be dull and that even when our kids grow old and we get to retire and spend everyday together again like we did when we first started dating, I'm so glad that my days will be full of laughter. Never stop being your goofy self, even when I'm tired and cranky and stressed, and even when I tell you to stop tickling me or poking me or trying to make me laugh, NEVER stop because eventually my stubborn grumpy self gives in and I smile and I laugh, and it's always because of you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Love You!!</span></div>

the most pivotal summer of my life. </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDck5e1OePMFJg2_kcqcVFhs1vfs-Cu1_1WAGYtR9G-U5HJvXa_VGyCOaZe94ZReEIfSJ8KWRfAzSqXrVtPBtOgOh-nkzk-ZA99pJAPW0Q59jhyphenhyphenBcRnR8rss5vMR8NtDWdoso5c396liVz/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDck5e1OePMFJg2_kcqcVFhs1vfs-Cu1_1WAGYtR9G-U5HJvXa_VGyCOaZe94ZReEIfSJ8KWRfAzSqXrVtPBtOgOh-nkzk-ZA99pJAPW0Q59jhyphenhyphenBcRnR8rss5vMR8NtDWdoso5c396liVz/s320/photo.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When people say the first year of marriage is the hardest, they are right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't get me wrong I'm not talking in a 'oh I hate my husband' kind of way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the 1rst 20 + or - years of your life you live with your family (& on your own at times)...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then you transition into living with, sleeping with, eating meals with, making every decision with & spending every day with someone <b>overnight</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& no matter how long you date that someone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you will never know them,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as well as you will come to know them,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when you live with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Your first year of marriage is full of compromise.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will find qualities in your significant other that you love and you had no idea existed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you will also find qualities emerge that are a bit challenging to deal with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep in mind I'm the one with the more challenging characteristics... Michael is an angel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously though, no sarcasm there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's the best I don't know how he puts up with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that's the great thing about marriage you give & you take.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nobody's perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That being said, if you go make the commitment to be married</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& you think it's going to be a piece of cake,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with no surprises and you won't have to work hard to make it last forever...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you are going to be in for a rude awakening. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As some wise family members once told me, "The flurries you get from being in love can ebb and flow. The true pulse of a marriage comes from the choice you make everyday to be committed to making it work."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this pivotal time in my life, while I am trying to figure out this new chapter, this quote resonates with me day in and day out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>a forever commitment </b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no one else I'd rather spend forever with, no matter how hard or how great each day is together. He's my best friend & my husband and I couldn't ask for more.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This summer has come to a close, and as school begins for me and mikey, the second half of our first year of marriage begins...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

marriage, work & school</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This right here is my best friend, my sidekick, my soulmate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's (only) 10 of the (many) reasons why he's so great & i'm so lucky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Michael is the most hardworking person I know,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
besides his father... they are probably tied ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(he had to learn it from someone)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Michael never lets any little thing I do go unnoticed, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am always appreciated. ALWAYS. He's so great</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. No matter my day, mood, or menstrual cycle status </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my man can make me laugh AND smile </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Michael is the most real & honest person I know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you always know what he's thinking and how he feels</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he will always tell you how it is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Michael has the most awesome laugh!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like seriously you don't even know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& the best part is he thinks everything's funny</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so you get to hear it all the time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Michael loves me EXACTLY how I am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's the first man I've ever met that loves me as much as I love him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are sealed together forever</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& we both take that really seriously</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there's no one else we'd rather be with</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& there's no other way we'd have it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TOGETHER, is how we like to be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Michael is the best COOK & Baker ! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes he cooks... I know it's great, I scored</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Michael would do anything for those that he loves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is so selfless. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. If you know Michael like I do, you have probably already come to find...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that he is ALWAYS right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& I'm not saying Michael thinks he's always right, he seriously is always right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The guy is ridiculously smart, and is good at almost everything he tries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this, however I need to learn to listen to him more... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My life would be a lot easier and I would waste a lot less time lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. I love Michael because he is my best friend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can spend all day every day together and it never gets old. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no one else I would rather spend forever with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have felt overwhelmed with gratitude for my husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& I just had to share my thoughts with ya'll</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thanks for reading :)</div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">VIRGIN</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That word up there is the best advice I have to every unmarried girl. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I choose to share this personal info. about my life in hopes that it will help </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
somebody out there to make the decision <b>right now</b> that they are going </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to save themselves for marriage. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's not easy, but it's not too difficult either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The <b>two</b> most important things I did that helped me:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#1 Make the decision before you start dating. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make the decision to save yourself for marriage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#2 Date and surround yourself with boys </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that have the same morals and standards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise you that if you choose to only date guys </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that share your same morals, it will make all the difference. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will be so much harder to make the decision to stay abstinent once you are </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
head over heels smitten with someone </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who doesn't want to stay abstinent until marriage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Save yourself for your husband.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's never to late to commit yourself to this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you've already been struggling with this, recommit yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can do it, and I promise it will be worth it. </div>
<br />

Dolla Dolla Bills Ya'll</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now a young married woman I'm learning the phrase "living paycheck to paycheck". </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However Michael and I make it a lot more exciting :) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We take it day by day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We splurge here and there. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We have a savings. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But we also have money that we do what we want with. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our financial plan works for us... well at least so far! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Right now we are young, no kids, barely any bills and a whole life ahead of us. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Luckily we are both going into fields that will make us the big bucks once we graduate! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But for now we enjoy ourselves with the money we have and we're doing just fine. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But one thing I have come to appreciate more than I ever have before is PAYDAYS!!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One day every Two weeks where Michael and I feel on top of the world, </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
that is until we see all our money go to bills and such. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But that one day every two weeks we have SO SO much FUN :) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We've made it our go out to eat night and our grocery shopping trip day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Our Fourth of July started with Michael and I sleeping in for once, it was so great! </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then we went to Michael's parents house for their annual Crepe Brunch<br />
(they explain this by saying that since the French were our allies we have to celebrate them to?<br />
works for me, I love crepes!) </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had such a good time as usual, it was a packed house.<br />
Andi brought her friend Wayne whom we all got to meet!<br />
Erin, Jacob & their kiddos were there, as well as my mom came which was such a special treat.<br />
I love when Michael and I's families come together it gives me a little glimpse of what heaven might be like :) I'm so blessed to now belong to TWO amazing families!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
After brunch at the McBride's I went shopping with my mom at this sweet dollar store I found a few weeks prior!<br />
The Dollar Tree off of Eagle and Fairview has everything you can imagine!<br />
But the greatest thing it has is cheap greeting cards.<br />
Who wants to pay five dollars for cards that people just throw a way when you can spend $1!<br />
They have a great selection too, I understand this is something quite silly to get excited over,<br />
but I love finding ways to save money now that I'm a broke married woman!<br />
So after my mom and I loaded up on greeting cards, we went gift shopping for my little cousins birthday and then finally my mom brought me back to Michael :)<br />
After about an hour away from him, (especially on the only day I really get to spend with him cause we both have saturdays off) I get Mikey withdrawals very quickly! </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
From there Michael and I went home and made holiday sugar cookies with blue frosting and red sprinkles.<br />
We brought them over to my aunts Fourth of July party and they must have been good because everyone devoured them quite quickly!<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now to my favorite part of the day--></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
My dad's best friend from High School who now lives in California asked a favor of my Dad.<br />
It was his mother's 75th birthday and she loved fireworks and her husband had to work and none of her kids lived in Boise anymore.<br />
So he asked my dad if he could go do a firework show for her. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
So Michael and I decided to join my dad and my brother & Corinne to entertain what we thought was just one cute old lady.<br />
But as we got their we found out that she had invited almost all the cute little old people in her neighborhood.<br />
Literally within ten minutes everyone came out from their houses in this cute little retirement community, with lawn chairs in hand to watch my dad's firework show.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was so cute and so humbling to watch how excited they would get over the littlest spark. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
It made me so happy :) </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Why is it that little kids and the elderly enjoy life so much more than the rest of us? </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Why can't we appreciate and be happy over the smallest things like them?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
This what was on my mind as I watched all of their faces light up with joy over the simplest things.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
My new goal: Find the Joy in EVERYTHING... before I get old.<br />

Big decision and so many options leading me to change my mind, multiple times. After taking a semester off school to plan my wedding and try to figure this out I finally had it narrowed down to the field I wanted to be in. Now it was just a matter of choosing between occupational therapy and speech therapy. After many observation hours and lots of prayers I finally figured it out. I went to the temple one night, with my prayers centered on this decision. At the temple I had decided that I would let Heavenly Father pick. A couple days prior I had an advising appointment with the speech pathology director at ISU meridian right by Michael and I's house. She told me I could not have come in at a better time because there was one spot left in the program for this fall and they were deciding on who was going to get the last spot. She had me fill out an application right then n there and said she would get back with me the following week. So I had decided that all this was too perfect, me coming in at the perfect time and there being one spot left... So like I said I put it in God's hands. At the temple I had decided that if I got the last spot that I'd take it and that my prayer will have been answered. Although I expected to receive this answer by phone the following week, after the temple that night I had this weird feeling that I needed to check my email. So I did and low and behold there was an email from the director at ISU informing me that I was chosen to fill the last spot. God must know me and my patience level REALLY well because boy does he answer my prayers quickly. I'M GOING TO BE A SPEECH PATHOLOGIST!<br />
So for all my family and friends that responded What Is That?? Here ya go--><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Speech-language pathologists, sometimes called speech therapists, assess, diagnose, treat, and help to prevent communication and swallowing disorders in patients. Speech, language, and swallowing disorders result from a variety of causes such as a stroke, brain injury, hearing loss, developmental delay, a cleft palate, cerebral palsy, or emotional problems.</span><br />

A lot of my friends have questioned what made me pick a whole new path in life. And for a long time I couldn't really give them an answer, besides "it felt like it was what I was supposed to do and what felt right". But now that life has taken me forward a few years everything is a lot clearer to me now and I want to give all of you who have wondered about my decision to be baptized in the LDS church more of an answer. For me it all started when I began to realize that I didn't have a reason to be catholic besides that I was raised in the catholic church. I knew very little about it's history, teachings & most importantly I didn't know that any of it I actually believed and had faith in for myself. Other than just going through the motions and doing what I was told and raised to believe. I never felt like it was a bad place to be. In fact, whenever I had a hard time with something my first thought was maybe I should go to church, cause thats a good place to be right? I occasionally prayed when I really needed something or was going through a rough time. I went to church when my parents did and never complained. But something was missing. My faith wasn't apart of my daily life, it was just something I was raised in and something I knew I could turn to when life got hard. My parents always raised me to believe in God and to live a virtuous life. But when I went to high school and saw so many kids that were raised this same way but then did things that didn't stay true to what they believed, I decided I wanted to live my life a little differently. I wanted to be abstinent till I was married, I wanted to avoid harmful substances such as alcohol and drugs and I wanted to do more with my life than going to parties every weekend. I did find a lot of good friends that wanted these same things and I was blessed to date guys who respected my decisions through out high school. But I still felt like something was missing. As I dated a boy who was preparing for his lds mission I learned a lot about the LDS church. Not by him teaching and preaching at me but by his families example and his devotion to his church that led him to <b>want</b> to serve a two year mission. I became more and more interested in the LDS church. As this desire to learn more about the church was growing inside of me, I made a decision to give my catholic faith one last shot as I took off for Florida to go play soccer for a very small private catholic university. My time in Florida was amazing and I do not regret ever making the decision to go there. In Florida I met some of the most amazing people and got to be apart of a team I will never forget. However, it was in Florida that I realized all I wanted to do was go home and learn more about the LDS church. When I returned home that is exactly what I did. I began going to the LDS church to see what it was all about. I can't say I had any big aww-haw moment, I just liked how I felt when I went to church there and I liked the person it was encouraging me to be. Although I had this great feeling every time I went to church I really still didn't know much about the church. So I decided to meet with some of the lds missionaries here in Boise to learn more about the church. As I met with them weekly I kept wanting to learn more and I was on what I like to call "a spiritual high". I found the church very interesting and I really believed everything my missionaries taught me. I didn't really have to think about it much I just had a really good feeling inside that what they were telling me was true. When I chose to be baptized I still really had a lot to learn. But I knew it was where I wanted to be every sunday and I knew I felt good when I went to church there and I liked the person I was becoming when applying the principles they taught me to my life. So with that being said, I was baptized. Since that day I was baptized did I question my conversion? absolutely. Converting to another religion despite what your family feels is right or wants for you is really hard. Especially when you are as close to your family as I was and still am to mine. But it wasn't about what my family wanted for me or what my catholic friends thought, it was about what made me happy and what made me a better version of myself. And everything about me wanted to be a mormon. Although a lot of times I didn't really know exactly why besides the fact that it felt like it was the right place for me to be and the right thing for me to do. What I can tell you two years later, is that over and over again I have had experiences in my life that have confirmed to me why I was baptized into the LDS church. Every time I go to the temple I learn more about the church and receive personal revelation as to why I'm meant to be apart of it. The Lds church has taught me gratitude like I've never felt before, it has shown me guidance in my life and in my daily decisions that I never knew I could have from my heavenly father & most of all it has shown me how to love others and how to serve others like I never have before. I've never felt the spirit so much in my life and have never had so many prayers answered. The organization of the church is perfect in every way. I respect and appreciate all religions. But the LDS religion has changed my life and I'm so glad my life is based on the principles it teaches me because I become a better version of myself every time I work on applying them to my life. I'm so glad I made the decision I did two years ago & if anyone ever has any questions I hope you feel comfortable enough to ask. Thanks to all of you who have been apart of my life and helped me on this journey to where I am now because I wouldn't want my life any other way :)<br />

Why? Well look at her, she's so stinkin cute! But really all Michael and I take pictures of anymore is her haha She's the only animal I know to have so much personality! I take her everywhere, even on bike rides (see picture). Michael and I want to pursue our careers before having children so this is our baby and probably will be for a good amount of time. I LOVE HER.</div>

2. Speech Pathology</div>
<div>
All I think, dream & study seems to be speech related. As people talk to me sometimes I find myself just watching their mouth making sure they articulate everything correctly. I can't wait to be a speech pathologist!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Cheddar Rice Cake Cracker Things</div>
<div>
Yeah I could eat them all day, so at least they are somewhat healthy!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Buying Michael Clothes</div>
<div>
For those that have known me for quite some time, I'm quite the clothes hoarder. So now that I have someone else to buy for its kind of nice :) & he looks good in everything so its fun to shop for him!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. H.I.I.T</div>
<div>
No I'm not obsessed with hitting, it stands for High Intensive Interval Training. For those of you who have heard of cross fit its the same thing. Except its at Idaho Athletic and is alot cheaper!! I love it and I always feel like im dying while I'm there but after it feels so good. I can't wait to continue this and see the changes in my body!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6. Whey Protein Powder</div>
<div>
Ok you guys you really have to get some! You can get a huge thing of it at costco and it doesnt taste icky like all the other protein stuff I'm sure you've tried... I love it and I make protein shakes daily now!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7. Used Clothing Stores</div>
<div>
Umm yeah I'm married and broke right now, so these places have become my best friends. I love being able to sell the clothes I don't like or don't where anymore and get new ones for cheap! My favorite place to search lately is Runway Fashion Exchange, its really clean there, doesnt smell weird and they will give you more back when you sell if you choose store credit. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
8. BB cream</div>
<div>
I've been trying to get away from wearing makeup on my face besides mascara so I found this BB cream at sephora which is basically just a moisturizer you put on your face that has something in it that evens out your coloring on your face. So if your a little blotchy but don't have too much trouble with acne you should try it! It feels and looks like your wearing nothing! I kinda love it :)</div>

<h2>
The Married Life</h2>
Honestly it doesn't feel like that big of a change for me being married and all. Michael and I spent practically everyday together from the moment we met so it's not that much different now, except for the fact I have half of a closet to fit all my clothes in. That's probably the hardest part ;) Haha but no really being married to Michael is the greatest decision I have made thus far. We balance each other out and let me tell you Heavenly Father couldn't have picked a better match for me. Not only that but I got really lucky I think Michael was brainwashed as a little child by his father that the man in the family is supposed to do absolutely everything because michael cooks, cleans, the whole nine yards its awesome!! We love watching lots of movies together and playing with our puppy Kya. Michael is currently working at Citi Bank in their call center he doesn't really love it but it pays well and provides us with good benefits so I'm very appreciative of Citi Bank and his employment there! Michael will begin school this Fall at CWI working towards getting all of his undergrad studies for the pharmacy program taken care of. After two and a half years there (were thinking that it will take about that long) he is planning on applying for the pharmacy program at Idaho State University. I'm currently a developmental therapist working with the most AWESOME, CUTEST, & COOLEST kiddos in the treasure valley who have special needs. I work in the school with my favorite little girl during the day and work with other awesome kids after school in the community. In the fall I will be finishing my bachelors degree through Idaho State University-Meridian where I am able to get a bachelors in Communication Disorders. I have two years left and then will be starting grad school through ISU to finally become a speech language pathologist. But Besides that, this is our life we are excited to get it started together and go after our dreams and start our family somewhere in between! Your Prayers to make all this successfully happen are definitely appreciated!<br />

We were so lucky to have our family treat us to a free stay in their cabin. My aunt and uncle have a beautiful cabin up there that was perfect for us :) We arrived and we were spoiled with all the cute decorations they surprised us with! We cooked meals together and enjoyed the time off work! We also drove up to McCall and enjoyed the little shops up there as well as some yummy food :) but the best part of our honeymoon was our trip to Utah right after tamarack to pick up our puppy (pictures included below) Kya is perfect we just love her :) <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both;
