Recent Reads

School is back in session for me. But I've recently read some amazing things that I know have changed my outlook on my situations. I think you should read them too! Of course, these are just suggestions and in no way a 'preachy' kinda thing. If they aren't for you, then no harm, just ignore.

Choose Eternal Life-Conference talk by Elder Randall K. Bennett. Its all about agency and what we do with it. Had an amazing experience with Nataly and this talk.

The Priviledge of Prayer-Conference talk by Elder J. Devn Cornish. Have you ever really stopped think think about prayer as a priviledge? Its a priviledge I am so thankful for. Even more thankful now that I am making more time, several times a day, for it.

The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. Be warned! I bawled my way through this. So touching.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins I cannot put this series down since I first read it this past summer. Series of three books. So excited for the first movie that is coming out in March.

And while they are not available for public reading, I have spent some time reading my journals from a very very difficult time in my life. While it was a difficult time, it was also a time of learning and DISCOVERY. I've been reminded of some very important things, and have made some appropriate changes. Do you journal? Do you go back and read through the past entries?

My best friend

I have decided that I do not care any longer how 'lame' people think it is. My husband is my best friend and the majority of the time I'd rather be with him than anybody else. There is no one else alive that is so adept at reading my moods, putting up with my crap, or just telling me to knock it off. Thankfully he loves to be with me just as much as I love to be with him!
