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!

I went and broke my ankle!

For those of you that are not on facebook and read my blog only, I have officially broken my very first bone. I wish that I could tell people that I broke it jumping off a cliff, or skydiving, or something cool like that, but I cannot! I broke it playing volleyball. I jumped and landed wrong and dang it, I rolled it! I can still hear it pop and pull and twist. Here are some pics of the glorious day! if you have a week stomach, don't look! I am so thankful I had great support that night. Thanks Kip for the amazing blessing that has given me hope that I will heal quickly! I thank each of you for your texts and caring phone calls!
