About Me

My photo
What can I say? There is no one quite like me! I am an original!!! I was born in Ohio but raised in Arizona and it is where I most definitely love to be! Within the past year I have gotten married and graduated from BYU-Idaho! I love being me, I love my family and my friends and I know that each one is in my life for a reason! I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it is truly the best knowledge and blessing that has happened in my life!!

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts..."

I know it's a random title but I think it fits very well with my mood! I have had an awesome, but hard 2 weeks, lots of ups and downs. The days that currently seem to bring me the most joy our Sundays because they remind me of the wonderful blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ, which I am so very thankful for!!!!!!!!

The Lord has blessed me so much in my life, especially with the many people that are in it that remind me constantly of why I here and doing what I am doing. This past week brought me so much joy in particular because a man from my mission, in Jacksonville Illinois, was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he know joins the rest of his family, The Jess Family is now all members!! I also received a phone call from his lovely daughter Karli, and it just made my day, I was surprised she remembered me. I also was priviledged to get an envelope in the mail from my mission containing his baptismal program, in which I was included so it also made me feel extra special!!!

Well family life is going okay, just trying to have fun and stay positive! School starts in 3 weeks! I am so excited but am also kind of dreading it because let's be serious, who wants to take Calculus 2?? Definitely not me, I am only taking it because I have to, I most definitely do not want to ever teach it!

Blah!

School has only been out for a week and I am so ready to go back. I have been home in AZ for a week, 6 left to go, and I am going nuts!!! I did well in school, 3 A's & 3 B's, a lot better than the Fall semester. I miss Rexburg like crazy but I know I am supposed to be at home at this time and I need to be positive and enjoy it because I never know when it might end. I do love my family, don't get me wrong, but sometimes they just drive me crazy and I feel like I don't belong.

Since being home I have got to see a lot of friends, which I have missed dearly, and on my first Sunday home I already got a calling in my branch, random I know, but it's for a reason so I am going to try and do my best with the time that I have it for.

P.S. My last day of school I became addicted to cuddling! :)
