A Lofty Goal


So my mom and sisters and I have made a goal to attend all the temples in Utah this year. A daunting task?? Maybe? I'm excited to see if we can accomplish our goal. January we went to Mt. Timpanogos and for February we vistied the Provo temple. We have to take a picture by each sign as proof.....so here are mine. I forgot my camera for the January picture so I took it the same day we went to Provo.

















Never Go Back Moments!

As my sister requested. Here is a list of my "never go back moments." These are the moments in life we experience that have significant meaning to us. Things that have had a profound impact on our lives whether for good or the bad. These are the moments that effect us, define us, give our lives meaning. Here are a few of mine in no particular order.

The day I became a 'big sister'
Growing up in Michigan and the 'mission field'
Remembering where I was when the Challenger exploded and the Twin Towers fell
Being Baptized
Going from a record player, to cassettes, now CD's
Using a remote for the TV
Using the internet for the first time
Using a cell phone
My first date
Learning to drive a stick shift
Graduation from High School
Sticking it out playing t-ball when I was little.....my parents saw potential
My first job at 16
Going to 'early morning seminary'
Moving across country to go to college and living on my own for the first time
Getting into BYU and graduating
Buying my own car
Major surgery at age 22
My 2 knee surgeries
Attending a new singles ward and becoming Relief Society President
Deciding to date 'online'
Going through the temple
Getting married
Having my 1st baby

So these are a few moments that have touched my life. Some have been exciting and others scary but all worth it and all full of meaning. I can't wait to experience more.
