A much needed update about ME!

Time seems to fly, I cannot believe that this year is almost over. Halloween has since come and gone, Thanksgiving is in a week and Christmas is around the corner. I know that Winter has just begun here in Boise, but I am already ready for it to be over. Maybe I just need to find a summer house in Florida, or California. Work is great these days, and it has been really busy for this time of the year. The International market has not been hit by the recession. City league volleyball is going well and I am having a great time playing and meeting new people. Here are some pictures of life lately. Some of the highlights these past few months are, dressing up as batman for Halloween and the Mat Kearney concert, he is AMAZING live!!! Oh and not to mention that Jeff and I went down to utah a few weeks ago for the BYU Homecoming game and getting my car towed! Thanks to all my great and loyal friends for being there for me!

Difficult Trials....

I apologize to all those who follow my blog and have been looking for a new post, exciting adventures and most of all great pictures. Well to be honest, I have had all of these, but they have seemingly taken a back seat for the time being. I am going through some really huge hurdles, trials, growing experiences, whatever you want to classify them as. This one trial has shaken my faith at times, but most importantly it has taught me to rely on my Savior Jesus Christ. it is his eternal faith in me and who I am that keeps me going when times are tough, and believe me, they are tough!

These past few months have been HUGE for me. Admitting to myself that I have weaknesses and addictions that I cannot overcome myself. I need His help, the Master's healing touch to deliver me from this evil, this crutch. It has been almost impossible to sleep at night, and to get out of bed in the morning, I mean really HARD! I want to sleep to forget the pain, that pit in my heart that NEVER wants to go away even though I ask it to! I love this picture, I have it hanging in my home. This is me, Christ is holding me, comforting me, loving me regardless of what sin or burden I am working through. To my Savior, I love you, thank you for showing your love and faith in my life. The Master can change us and our hearts, he is ready today to allow us to change.

Luckily I am surrounded by the BEST and MOST loving people one could ask for. To those I have confided in and looked to for advice, I love you more than words can explain, I thank my Heavenly Father for each of you! Your prayers and faith are felt even if I have not taken the time to call, or write to thank you. So here is to healing, 100%. Better days are ahead, I can see it and sense it!

Happy 28 to me!!!!!

Yesterday I turned 28! It was honestly the BEST birthday I have ever had. My family took me out to eat for lunch at Red Robin! Later that night, I went out with my best friends to Sushi, then to Cheesecake Factory! Thanks to everyone who made it such a special day for me!!!!

My new backyard!

So just the other day, my mom was telling me that I needed to post pictures on my blog of my backyard, so here ya go! Before and after, what a huge difference!!! Thanks to all those that helped!

Summer bbq Kick-off!

Last night, for the singles ward, we had a bbq at Merrill's Park in Eagle, our official welcome to Summer party! I love my ward and the friends I have made here. Great food, good weather and the best laughs!

Kelsie's Birthday Party!

Last weekend was my dear friend Kelsie Moyle's 20th birthday party and her are some fun pics from the party we had for her, she had no idea, we kept it a complete surprise!

What I have been up to.....

Over these past few weeks, I have been planning and spending for my huge backyard! From the sprinklers completion, to cement curbing to endless trips tree and shrub shopping with my mom, here is a little of what I have been able to do. It is overwhelming, expensive and time extensive, but fun all at the same time. I will post updated pictures as I complete projects. Wish me luck!
