Where Were You When The World Stop Turning?
10 years ago, my family and I were in Chicago on vacation. Ty was only 1.5 yrs old and if you ask her, she still remembers the day the "airplane of bad men who hit to buildings". I remember the eeriness of a normally busy city, being so calm you could hear every movement. I remember being terrified walking near the Sears Tower and hearing planes even though there wasnt supposed to be any... only to find out that the Sears Tower was a target. I remember having to drive back to Utah, all of us crammed in a little rental car. I remember seeing pictures... hearing stories... numerous news reports of that day... and my heart breaking every time.
Well... the mastermind behind it all is now dead and I dont know how to feel about it. Part of me is relieved. Part of me is scared all over again. Part of me is thankful. Part of me feels bad for feelin good that someone died.
I am just going to continue to pray for our nation, our troops, our goverment and the people of the world who do not know Jesus... as well as put my Trust in the Lord. He's got this, the worry isnt mine.

What a blessing!
Yesterday I had a LONG day… I started work at 7am and am normally off at 4pm, but we had a job fair that I was asked to be at, so I had to do that from 430-8pm. Joking around on FB, I said something about going to work at the job fair and needing a lot of coffee to make it through the day. Someone even joked back saying “If someone was to bring you coffee are you going to give them a job??”. Well, it couldn’t hurt right? JUST KIDDING!
Around 300pm, I left the office to run home for a minute and then stopped at the coffee shop in our church to get a coffee for me and a coworker. I walked in and the owner says, “Aren’t you supposed to be at work? Like until 8pm?”. Uh, yeah… she must have seen my post on Facebook. After like the 4th time of asking me I why I wasn’t at work, I asked her what the deal was. She said “Someone was here a few minutes ago to get you coffee and they are taking it to your work. You aren’t supposed to be here!”. Uh, oops!
I then looked at my phone and saw I missed a call from my friend, Candice, so I asked if it was her and Holly got a big smile and said yes. I called her back and she says “I’m here to bring you coffee but no one is at the job fair yet. Where are you?”. I couldn’t very well tell her I was at the coffee shop about to order the very drink she had already got for me, so I said I was on my way back from my house and I’d be there in 5 minutes. Technically it wasn’t a lie, I was on my way from my house and I was 5 minutes from work!! LOL
I met her at my work… where she got me a yummy blended Dirty Chai and gave me some pastries to share with my coworkers. Candice is a sweetheart… she is such a blessing to all of us… and I am so glad to have her in my life. My kids adore her kids and it’s fun to do Kids Ministry with her on Wednesday nights.
Thank you Candice. Love ya!

Thankful...
I am thankful for...
- a chiropractor who helped me to be able to move my head again. I've got a pinched nerve in my neck/back/shoulder and the past couple of days have been terrible. I actually slept last night. Yay!
- a husband who loves my children as if they were his own. He does homework with them, takes time off work to go to Dr's appts, and does his best to go to all their events. Love ya Bry!
- a stepdad (who is more like a real dad) who is starting this great bond with my kids that will last them a lifetime. I can call him to run and pick them up from school if I need to or if he knows they are off school, he goes and gets them for lunch or to the archery range or other fun stuff.
- being able to lead others to Christ. People often tell me that they can see Jesus through my words and actions. To me that is HUGE. I want to be a good example of Christ's love. This past weekend my formerly LDS mother in law, brother in law and sister in law, came to Easter service with me and my husband. What a blessing that was!
- a mom who loves unconditionally. Our family can be a bit of a headache with a lot of people not always making the best decisions; however my mom sees past that and loves everyone despite their faults. She is amazing!
- silly kids. My kids are hilarious, wonderful, loving, and a blessing. I dont know how in the same breath as wanting to pull my hair out, I just want to hug them... but that is the joys of motherhood.
What are you thankful for???

Easter 2011
Easter Sunday was amazing this year... only thing missing was my kids who were with their dad.
We started out the day by going to church... see the "We"? That meant me and my husband... the one who doesnt go to church on Sunday mornings. He goes to the Friday night service for "People who dont do church". I was so blessed by him being there. On top of it... my mother in law, brother in law, and sister in law all joined us. What a wonderful time at worship!
Afterwards we went to SLC to join my family for our Easter Tradition of going to the zoo. The weather held up, no rain, got to see some active tigers and apes. It was nice.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday. Jesus has Risen!

Friday Confessional
I confess… that I am irritated with an aspect of my work. There isn’t anything I can do about it, other than just keep plugging away. I am feeling a little overwhelmed and just have to remember to take things day by day and not stress about it.
I confess… that I am torn about what to do this weekend. My family tradition for Easter is to go to the zoo, however it’s supposed to be raining and I’ve been asked to go to a baby blessing during 2nd service. (I normally go to 1st service). For once, I am praying for rain!
I confess… I went to a prayer service at church last night that was like nothing I’ve been to before. It really made me think about my prayer life and the way I pray. It was very powerful.
I confess… I am happy there are no soccer games tomorrow morning, no haircuts, no reason to get out of my warm snuggly bed at any specific time.
I confess… I have a dislocated tailbone again. I wish it was from something cool like a motorcycle ride or an unusual act in the bedroom (Ha ha!) but honestly, I have no idea what I did… I just know it hurts like hell. I went to the chiropractor yesterday and he said it was really bad and not to think he is a miracle worker. He did adjust it and it feels better already, but need to go back 2 more times next week.
