The Stuff Life is made of...

All of these thoughts have come from reading "Inner Victory" a book by David A. Christensen. How we spend our time tells us a great deal about us, doesn't it? Time is a standard or measurement through which we can measure the progression OR digression of self or group...we cannot save time, the truth is we can't save it and we have all there is... --Opportunity is only limited by our mind, "One of the major differences between people who love life and know how to live it to its fullest and those who don't, is couched in the great commodity of TIME. The issue of time is not what we have done but what we have become...the question is not how much time we have logged, but how far we have progressed...We will never find it if we loose it...each second comes and goes, it is here, and then it is not... Overwhelmed yet? ;) haha me too! I added a wedding picture so that I could remind myself that I am striving for eternity...:) where time doesn't exist..(I don't think)??:)

God Bless America*

FAMILY concerns in society:

There are SO many concerns about the family and the new trends (and old) that have developed, they can be pretty overwhelming if we dwell on them, BUT Fear not!:) I think that even though the world is getting scarier, we can teach our kids (or future kids) in our HOMES. Teach them the truth before someone else teaches them "their truth".

D&C 6:36 coupled with the Learning Model

"The power we access by acting in faith that is focused on the Savior allows us to exceed our natural limits and learn beyond our natural capabilities. This enabling power is manifest through the bestowal of spiritaual gifts, accelerated learning, enhancement of natural abilities, discernment, and personal revelation." (BYU-I Learning model)(D&C 6:36) WOW! That is the first time that I had read the whole learning model and it has some pretty amazing blessings! I mean woot for the LM!:)

Blink 182 Concert

This is Allred he is a local in Utah and opened for Blink 182, after the show he was out on the sidewalk playing and taking song requests!!:)

This is Mark Hoppus the bass player for Blink, the concert we went to was their reunion tour, we were way close to the front it was amazing, although one kid puked on me :(

Taking Back Sunday was also there the guy was so funny and had somewhat of a southern accent, I never would have guessed!

Here is Marky, me and his brother Jordan. What good looking Bros.:):)

This is in front of one of Blink-182's trailers outside while we were waiting it was so HOT that day.

IM ENGAGED

This is my FIRST BLOG EVER :) hmm...haha well, I am in love, MADLY IN LOVE. I got engaged to Mark Buys (HHS) July 30th after he sent me on a wild hunt guided by journal entries he had written about us since 06' that led me to where we first met (@ a bonfire), @ the sand dunes. He makes me laugh every day, he is handsome, spontaneous, smart, plays the guitar (c'mon ladies you know that is one of the best bonuses a guy could have) and best of all, he loves me and the Lord:) Life is Bliss.
