My new life

Hey :) it has been a long time since I've posted. Since the last time a lot has happened for me.

  1. I got home in Dec from my 18 month mission in Ogden, UT
  2. I started dating
  3. I got married!
  4. Now I'm a mom
That wasn't really a whole lot since Dec 2014 but it was to me. :) So let me tell my story:

In June of 2013 I left my friends and family to serve my church for 18 months. During that time I had met my current husband but I only saw him twice and wasn't interested at the time. The second time I saw him was Christmas and it was four days before I went home. During the time I hadn't seen him every once in awhile his mother would talk about him to me and me to him. Also during that time I got to get to know his two kids. He had been previously married and they had a girl and a boy, Destanee (3 years old) and Austin (23 months). Austin has had kidney disease since he was born so he is a very sick little boy but he is such a fighter. During Christmas we interacted a bit but, when I got home four days later he messaged me on Facebook and we began to talk. Eventually I gave him my number instead of messaging on Facebook back and forth lol. We got to know each other and became good friends. At the end of January I drove cross country from Georgia to Utah. My plan was to go to Weber State and go into Social Work. Well sometimes our plans don't go according to what we thought. Cody and I went on our first date in Feb, to Boondocks which was a lot of fun. In March we had our first kiss. In April we said we loved each other. Cody proposed to me on May 25 Memorial Day. And on June 30 we got married. It was a whirlwind of several months but I would never change it. Cody and I went to Yellowstone for a couple of days for our honeymoon, I had never been so it was a lot of fun. So now I am a stay at home mom which is fun but has its moments like anything else would but I love it.

My Plan now:

So now my blog is going to change a bit. I started it on my mission and I still want to post religious thoughts of mine every once in a while but now its going to be a couple different things if I can keep up with it lol. Since Austin has kidney disease he is going to get a transplant hopefully in the next several months and I want to try to be his donor. But with a new kidney and me with one less we have to eat carefully so I am going to do a health section on things I am trying or have found.

I am going to keep a religious section and post up lifting things like I used too.

I'll have a section of my happenings of being a mom, wife and experiences of donating a kidney (hopefully) called My Life.

And as I decide I may add a few other things.

Thanks for reading! :)

The Challenge the "Book of Mormon" makes to the world

I have a strong testimony that the Book Of Mormon is true! I love it and I read it everyday. I constantly pray to have a reassurance that it is true. I know with all of my heart, might, mind and soul that it is TRUE! The reason I pray constantly to know that it is true is to have an unwavering testimony of it. I know Joseph Smith translated it for the world to read. I don't want to hide the principles and teachings it has of Jesus Christ in it from the world. I know it is ANOTHER Testament of Jesus Christ that HE LIVES! And that He loves ALL nations kindred, tongue and people. If our Heavenly Father wants to give us more scriptures to know that He and His son live how dare we say they can't! This wonderful book does NOT replace the Bible! It builds upon the truths that are in it! I love it and I invite you to read it and find out for yourself that it is true. I found this challenge and I want to share it.

Planning and executing my trip to Europe!

On February 1st I decided I would take a trip to Europe! I was sitting at work at H&R Block and talking with a coworker and just randomly decided that I would go visit a friend in Spain. As time went on I didn't know if it would be possible but I was determined. I decided I would go donate plasma to help earn money. I donated once and it was an interesting experience. The following week on Feb 9 I got a letter from them telling me I couldn't donate plasma anymore because I got a false positive for a test, so they couldn't trust my blood. I was super bummed about it, but I was still determined. I was constantly looking at flights and playing around with dates, departure cities, and arriving cities. On February 11 I found a great flight to Paris on April 24 and coming back on May 25, so round trip for only 420$! For that price I can fly to my family in GA round trip! So I pulled the money together that day and I bought it! I just made a life long dream a reality. ...

Judge Not

This is a talk I did a while back and I had an impression to put it up. Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. ( John 7:24 ) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is you reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. ( Matthew 5:11-12 ) Why do we judge others? Ok some reasons I think are It is easier to criticize than to be constructive "The church is not a place where perfect people gather to say perfect things, or have perfect thought, or have perfect feelings. The church is a place where imperfect people gather to provide encouragement, support, and service to each other as we press on in our journey to return to our Heavenly Father."-Joseph B. Wirthlin PEOPLE ARE NOT PERFECT ! they are sometimes annoying, disappointing, inconsiderate, and selfish, and they DO make mist...
