"We will not be overwhelmed with the burdens of life. We will not feel incapable of doing what we are called to do or need to do. We will be strengthened, and our lives will be filled with peace and joy. We will come to realize that most of what we worry about is not of eternal significance—and if it is, the Lord will help us. But we must have the faith to look up and the courage to follow His direction."

-CARL B. COOK Of the Seventy

N.Y.E

I'm going to go ahead and add New Year's Eve 2012 onto the list of wonderful times with the best friends.

Nearly every second with them reminds me why I love laughing so much.

The best present I received this Christmas was a visit from my family.

Our time together was short, sweet, and full of fun.

I'm so lucky to have a sister that's also my best friend.

Skyping, Working, and Bliss.

I am so happy I could have an early Christmas at home this past weekend.

The family is still in the pleasant land but now I am back in Junction.

I feel weird about being far away for the holidays....but at least technology has decided to be my friend so I can still see the faces of the best people in the whole world.

This weekend there's going to be lots of skyping, lots of working, and lots of bliss.

Look Mom! Some pictures of skyping and working and bliss.

CNN Take Two

I'm just as stoked as the first time CNN picked up one of my stories...Meaning I had to blog about it again. I love these happenings. My CNN tally is now at two but by the time my contract is up i'm going to have a gazillion stories on that site!

The Newest Joy in Life

How is it that I grew up in Utah but had never been skiing? Seriously though? I love snow but the extent of my winter activities stopped after sledding, snow ball fights, and making igloos . Now i'm making a life change. I went to the slopes for my first time yesterday and it was wonderful. I may or may not have just snow plowed the whole mountain but I enjoyed every second of it....even all the seconds I spent trying to get up after I would biff it. Today all my limbs hurt but it was worth it!
