Oh Canada, again......






So this past weekend I flew to Edmonton, Alberta Canada. What a cold and beautiful place. I traveled with the BEST people ever, Matt, Janelle, Jayla, Lyndsay and Julie from Cosmo Cricket. They are some of my very best friends. We attended an event for one of our Canadian Distributors, Memories Wholesale. There are so many great stories from this trip: Mullet Man at the hotel bar, photos at the mall, darts, the "sleeping man," and so many others. We laughed until we cried, I loved this trip and being able to see another amazing part of the world!

More of Team Italy and friends...






Here are some more pictures from an amazing night!

Dinner with Team Italy






As most of you know, this is the week for the Special Olympics here in Idaho! We are thrilled to be the host for these Winter Games. Last night we had the great opportunity to host the families of those athletes competing for Team Italy. We met them downtown in this really cool loft and fed them baked potatoes. We had a blast getting to know them and feeling the spirit of the games with them! Good luck this week Team Italy!!!!!

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is amazing...






On February 7, 2009, Luis Antonio Carillo was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of latter Day Saints. It was at Family Home Evening that we first met Luis and invited him to hear the discussions and learn more about the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. I made a simple invite to him, "will you hear the lessons?" Luis did not even hesitate in his response. The missionaries have been teaching him in my home and they have brought with them such an incredible spirit. I have seen Luis change his life, even quit his job to find happiness in the Gospel. Our Savior has the ability to heal and answer prayers. Sharing the Gospel is one of the greatest gifts we can offer to those who surround us. People everyday are waiting for us to pray, have the faith and then act on those promptings. Share the Gospel, smile more, be kind, show charity and pray for those who hurt you. I love the Gospel!

I am back......






I apologize that I have not posted in about a month now. My life has been great and stressful and busy all at once. With work and traveling to L.A. for Cha, church callings, family and friends, my time is so limited. I have neglected my blog, but I am back and ready to share my life with each of you. I promise to post more later, but here are some fun pictures of my recent adventures with some of the greatest and most loving people. I can officially share that I have been off ALL depression medications for over a month now and I am so happy about this decision I made to stop putting these chemicals into my body. Love ya, I will write more later.
