Trying New Things

Dave and I enjoyed a wonderful day skiing and then went out to dinner at a buffet, that had a wide variety of food. Here are list of some of the new things I tried.

Frog Legs
King Crab legs
Crab claws
Octopus
Sushi
and Some other food I can't remember the name of and I didn't like.

It was a fun adventure. I would defiantly do the Crab legs again. I also enjoyed several different dishes of shrimp.

Accomplishing something

I'm in that pathetic mode were I fell like I'm accomplishing nothing of value in my life and wasting away my probation. I know I'm not and I know Satan is just getting in my head. So here are a few of the things I have accomplished.

I have been doing a lot of thinking a planning about my food storage and creating goals. by 2010 I'd like to have 3 months supply of ready made meals and a years supply of grains and beans and their complementary ingredients along with the tools and skills to make them into edible meals. I'd like to fine tune my bread, biscuit, dried beans skills.

I'm also hoping to reach our baby fund goal by my birthday so we can start saving for a down payment on a home and a trip to Italy next summer.

I created three beautiful dances that the girls loved and seemed to be enjoyed by the audience. And I hope that I turned a few more thoughts to the Savior as one piece was all about him. I was so grateful for the loving support of my family who came. I put a lot of work into these dances and it was nice to share it with people I love. Thank you Sabina, Brecklyn, and Talia for making the trip down and the sugar cookie kit I'm way excited to use it. Thanks to my Mother and Father in Law for coming and bringing me gorgeous roses and my sister in law Becky and for Dave. It meant a lot to have you their.

I have also been working on my garden and have seeds growing on my kitchen table I hope I can keep them growing until after the last frost. The weather has been so great here.

This is not Dave

Through out our lives we need to keep up activities that revert us back to when we were little. Dave and I have done several activities like that lately. Well they where ones that brought the youth out of Dave. We went to a world cup mogul skiing competition and Dave was so excited and had his adrenalin going and wishing he was the one up at the top waiting for the go to race down the mountain.

Then for Valentines day we went to the ski resort that Dave learned to ski at. He proceeded to show me all of the memorable runs, rumps, cliffs and secret stashes of powder. It snowed the whole time we where their creating challenging white out conditions where you can see no depth, never knowing how steep things where and where the bumps are situated. The snow created continual fresh powder the made for Dave's favorite kind of skiing. It sprays up around you and watching in fly down from above him all I could see where his head and shoulders and the rest hidden my the spraying snow. He was in Heaven.

It was fun but very challenging to me their was a time when I was thigh deep in snow and had a hard time getting out.

Life is never as it seems or seemed

It's amazing how we all seem to envision the was life will be and it never turns out that way or at least my life hasn't. I did a pretty good job envisioning my life up until graduation from collage and even that had plenty of twists and then my foresight powers died. I feel like not one aspect of my life is the way I thought it would be. But something was said in sacrament meeting that really hit me and is helping for the time being. The speaker had a brother that was on a mission and everything back home was falling apart things where braking arms legs, cars dishwasher ect. the family was struggling to understand why they where not receiving the blessing that are suppose to come as you support a son on a mission. The missionary turned to the Lord and the answer was these are your blessings.

I am truly blessed in a multitude of ways and I'm sure that the course my life is taking is for the best and i just need to choose to seek the positive. I'm working on making the most of this time I have been given. I'm searching out what will bring feelings of fulfilled and purpose and seeking out what the Lord wants me to do with this time.

I'm starting out the new year on a new foot and I have been pretty good at working out and actually getting ready and doing something with my hair and face in the morning. I think it's helping. I've also been better at really getting into my scriptures and thinking and trying to internalize them. Life is good.

I posted an entry on the family histroy blog.

“in the depth of winter, [we find] within [us] an invincible summer.”

“in the depth of winter, [we find] within [us] an invincible summer.” This comes by developing an internal well of faith HOPE and Charity.

The things I have hoped for that have come to pass.

I hoped to be the lead in sleeping beauty
I hoped to get into BYU
I hoped to make Theater Ballet
I hoped to make the Ballroom team
I hoped to get married in the temple
I hoped to find someone that I could cherish for eternity
I hoped to dance abroad
I hoped to make money teaching dance
I hoped to make money with my creations
I hoped to graduate from college


Much of what I have hoped for has come to pass and those things which I hope for now will someday too come to pass.

I hope someday to find the magic of choosing to be happy and finding the positive in life everyday.

I hope to be able to then bring happiness and joy to others lives even in the simplest things.
