I BELIEVE......

Read this slowly and enjoy!!!!!

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born
A Death Certificate shows that we died
Pictures show that we lived!

I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, It doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...That we don't have to change friends if We understand that friends change.

I Believe....That no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I Believe... That you can do something in an instant That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe....That it's taking me a long time To become the person I want to be.

I Believe...That you should always leave loved ones with Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe.... That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe....That we are responsible for what We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe...That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe....That my best friend and I, can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe....That sometimes the people you expect to kick you When you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...That sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry, But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe....That maturity has more to do with
what types of experiences you've had And what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe....That it isn't always enough,
to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe....That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are, But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...That you shouldn't be so eager to find Out a secret. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe....Two people can look at the exact same Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...That your life can be changed in a matter of Hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...That even when you think you have no more to give,
when A friend cries out to you -
you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...That credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...That the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.

'The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything; They just make the most of everything.

This past week.

Last night Skyler and Alyson and I met Heather and her friend Vickie at the conference center for the annual Relief Society Conference. It was wonderful!!! The speakers were so great and the spirit was wonderful.

As we were walking in the conference center, I over heard that there were three hundred women at each stop light, waiting to get to the conference center. It was great to be among that many women.

It was an uplifting night and we went to dinner with Nic after wards. It's fun to have him up there, so that we can enjoy so of the fringe benefits. ( My stake did get tickets and I did see some of my ward members up there.)

Next week it will be the men's turn to go up and listen to their counsel.

Weekly Update!

Thom was taking more of the walls out this last Sat and hit our wiring for the air conditioner. It went out. Shane and Courtney were coming down to move the water heater to another spot, but Shane helped Thom get the air up and running again. That took all day......
I took Courtney, Riley, and Ethan to the movie to see Mamma Mia. (I've seen it 5 times and every time it's great!!)
Riley really enjoyed the movie and so did Ethan. (How could you not with all of that fun, good music!)
We were also COOL!!!!
Thom and Shane and Stew went to Dark Knight later that night.
So we didn't get much moved that day. So we will try again in two weeks when Shane can come down again.
In the mean time we will be knocking down more things.
I'm off to Arizona were it is going to be HOTTER!!!! I'm going for work. We are going for four days. I work with a great bunch of people and we should have fun....
I should hear about the job that I applied for a month ago. I hope my evening dress and tiara will look ok when I make my acceptance speech!!
Till I get everyone keep cooler than I will!!!!

What has happened this week!!!

Sunday morning I got to turn on the sprinklers and found this huge tree limb in the front yard!


















Our neighbor, James (a policeman) was driving by to look at some of his damage and told me that a micro burst wind had come through this morning around 4:00 am. The tree limb had hit Nic's car!

















There is a big dent on his roof and scratches all down his trunk. We pulled it off to the side of the house and then called our insurance company to find out that they don't pay for "acts of nature."











Nic will have to use his insurance company to have the damages fixed!!!!

We are pretty upset, to think that you pay all that money and have peace of mind of having insurance for this very reason and then they have loop holes that don't apply.
ON A HAPPIER NOTE!!!!!









WE HAVE STARTED TO REMODEL!!!!!! FINALLY THE BASEMENT IS GOING TO BE REDONE............

This is were the hot water heater is sitting now. In the way of the furnace.

Here are a few pictures of what we did today.... I had fun knocking down the walls.... I didn't know they would be so hard to knock down. So I will keep you posted each week of what is going on!!!

It is going to get allot worse before it gets better. Eddie, I'm sure that you are sad that you can't help in the re doing part......

Last week's post

As many of you know, that Nic is back down here in Utah! Thom, Stewart, Skyler, Jaxson and I went up last friday to move him down.
We had a great time laughing and talking and singing. In fact we had such a good time we missed the turn off. After about a half hour drive, Thom said ,"I think we are driving to no where." And we were going to Butte, MT.

We found a turn around and headed back to Rexburg and went in through the back side. I think Jaxson was a little worried, but the moon was bright and it was smiling at us and showed us the way to Nic's. By the time we got there, most of the truck was loaded and every one was gone.
















Sat we got up and finished packing the truck. Jaxson ran his little legs up and down the stairs for us and up and down the ramp. He was such a big helper!!!
































Here is a picture of Nic's house just before we left. He had six people come through his house his last week he was there, so hopefully it will sell fast.

About my week

It's time to post again.......

I had an interview with my work on Monday. (It took about 8 hours to get ready for the interview.)

It was a three hour interview and it went really well. In fact it wasn't as bad as I had thought it was going to be......it was the wait to hear if I had gotten the job.....

So Thursday we had our meeting. Five of us interviewed and only two of us were there for the meeting and we were told that they are going to hold off for three more weeks before making a decision... They don't have a full team and they will in three weeks. So the wait will continue!!!
I will just keep working hard and what will happen, will happen. I still love my job.

Also in order to get this promotion that I'm going for, I have to be going to school. (They want to see if you can go to school and keep up with your students that you are taking care of.)

So I'm taking two classes. So far they have been very enjoyable, and I'm doing quite well in them.

I had a chance to talk about the church in one and got quite a stir from one of my classmates.
I never thought that I would have gotten that reaction from someone. It made think about our missionaries in the mission field, trying to reach out to everyone. Having issues and telling people our beliefs and then have that person turn on you. It gives me a better apperication and love for our missionaries than before.
I had about three other classmates stand up for me and that made me feel good.

So that has been my week in a nut shell!!! All is good.

And I love being a member of the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!!!!!
