Uplift

A very wise woman once told me that if you were hearing something over and over again, it's not a coincidence.
It doesn't mean that they ran out of things to talk about at church, or that there is just some weird coincidence.
The Lord is probably trying to tell you something important- But the question is, are we paying attention?

Over the years, I have tested that theory in my own life and found it to be very true and very powerful.
The reason that I am posting this personal thought on this public medium is because I have had the great blessing of being remind of that principle. And it all started with an AWESOME CES Broadcast.

For those of you that haven't yet seen the latest broadcast, featuring Elder Bednar, please don't rob yourself of the experience.

I promise, you won't regret it.

 

 

 

 

 



If I Can Make it There, I'm Gonna Make it Anywhere

I have a confession to make.

I have not been feeling the whole blogging thing lately.

I don't know. I just haven't.

Maybe things will change... but I don't know.

(Does anyone even read this thing? Eh. Oh well.)

 

I pulled up my blog yesterday, for some reason or another,

and I saw a pinata.

That blasted pinata.

As much as I love the Spanish language and the horrifying

experiences that I had in my efforts to learn it...

The pinata had to go.

It brought back memories.

Dark, dark memories.

 

'What should I post?'

thought I.

Then it came to me,

In the voice of a child (from the movie Sleepless in Seattle).

"N.Y."

I should post about New York.

 

I went to New York last week.

I would love to tell you about it.

But, frankly, I don't feel like it right now.

Feel free to ask me questions.

(As a disclaimer: I am not feeling so great, so I'm loafing on the couch,

avoiding the work deadline that I have.

Luckily I have Facebook to remind me that people are

having the time of their lives on spring break.

Thank you, Facebook. Thank you ever so much.)

 

Instead, I shall post pictures.

After all,

Pictures are worth a thousand words.

And my head hurts too much to talk.

 

Enjoy:

 

 

My early sightings of NY from the airplane.

 

One of the lovely views from my hotel room.

Luckily, I had a really great view.

(I say luckily because about 90% of the pictures I took were from my hotel room.)

We did a little walking,

Because that's what New Yorkers do, apparently.

They walk. (They also jaywalk. It was very stressful to me. Ha ha.)

 

The view from my boss' window.

She was kind enough to share the wealth.

We ate at some really great places.

Oddly enough, we ended up eating at an Italian place every night.

I didn't mind, though. The food was SO good.

We were really busy with work on our trip (I guess I should mention that's why I was there- work).

We did get to have a little fun one evening.

We went and saw a show on Broadway.

Any guesses as to what show I chose?

And, finally, a picture with a taxi.

Such a major part of the trip, I didn't want to forget to include one of these guys.

I met many nice foreign men.

A man that I was with would always tell them about the church.

I would always pray. Pray that we wouldn't die because they drove like maniacs.

Luckily, we did not die. Not this time.

 

Please stay tuned for more travelogue and updates.

I'll be hitting a few different countries this summer,

so hopefully things won't be quite as boring as they have been on this blog.

 

Mmmm... yep.

Love you all.

 

Santa es mi amigo.

Almost finished with my Spanish class.

I know exactly what I'll do on Tuesday.

Pictures to follow.

A lot of emotion just needs a place to go.

 

In other news,

I just had a Shelf Reliance party.

It was so great!

If anyone would like to order anything,

let me know.

You could probably get the party pricing...

If you are lucky.

Here is Kristi's website.

Take a look if there is anything that you would like:

foodmystyle.shelfreliance.com

I just LOVE this stuff.

I signed up to get a shipment each month, so mine will be coming in a few days!

I may even sign up to be a consultant...

which is a BIG deal. Because I am not a party girl.

Not the parties where things are sold, anyway.

So... yeah. That's new.

 

In other news-
I saw Santa!

And check out the elf to my right.

She has a tale.

Best holiday shot ever.

 

Another wonderful thing-

The day before Thanksgiving I was able to go to the new outlets in Lehi with my mom and sister.

There was a gigantic tree and lots of people.

Sure was fun!

 

 

Oh. And I met someone there.

Meet my new BF.

He's a great listener and love Adias.
