For a long time now I have not quite understood why life is so hard and complicated. I spent this morning at the Huntsman Cancer Center with my father-in-law while he received his radiation treatment. I watched people going in and out of the clinic and wondered about each persons life and what it was like. I felt hopeful for most and hoped they did too, but couldn't help thinking why???? My own family is struggling so hard with these same questions and it has always brought me back to the same thing..........hope. This is the life we are given, it could be worse, just watch the news, but it is our life and it is the life that we know and have to deal with. <div><br /></div><div>Zoe and I have been working on making a collage journal of things that inspire us, make us happy, and things that bring us peace. Zoe started making her journal as an assignment for school, but I love how she has put a lot of thought into the pages. I believe when you focus on the beauty and the good, the other stuff that complicates our lives seems a little less.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Summer Rain - U2</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;font-size:11px;">When you stop seeing beauty<br />You start growing old<br />The lines on your face<br />Are a map to your soul<br /><br />When you stop taking chances<br />You'll stay where you sit<br />You won't live any longer<br />But it'll feel like it<br /><br />I lost myself in the summer rain<br />I lost myself<br />I lost myself in the summer rain<br />In the summer rain<br /><br />It's not why you're running<br />It's where you're going<br />It's not what you're dreaming<br />But what you're gonna do<br /><br />It's not where you're born<br />It's where you belong<br />It's not how weak<br />But what will make you strong</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790626877833932257.post-5229180232454512272010-01-13T15:17:00.007-07:002010-01-13T15:48:19.437-07:00Anybody missing summer?<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpNf-INKc-dk_FARb5uyNUVdckf8hyphenhyphenJPoBaGy8Hw1LVtTR4xZIm36-rZQ-RURat6yvveBGU6vPrNla_KoIa6-OwYBDjVLhdTMPL5BJ2ERciKDr0EKdaI5OwXmqsSBBlPm1uQmDJIZdB2E/s400/zoe+052.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426359557900595506" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidwAduLUVKXk8mEDUx106Q5dKtGZLwWpeovEd7BnBwJ7u1-2m_AZasS7xKPzSN7a4a0KND78aZ-efCE0JVa2wRrt0llTvssx9qHpZ37zZ0YPgO_Hchy_eHvF_ZgpltL3COgvmyHeyBykE/s1600-h/2009+more+443.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidwAduLUVKXk8mEDUx106Q5dKtGZLwWpeovEd7BnBwJ7u1-2m_AZasS7xKPzSN7a4a0KND78aZ-efCE0JVa2wRrt0llTvssx9qHpZ37zZ0YPgO_Hchy_eHvF_ZgpltL3COgvmyHeyBykE/s400/2009+more+443.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426358181080030050" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGXorshJo64pvM5ZJy9319ntoYedIT812A8SBrxlNwU3dZhUhw4oltH5zSbYuxM0r4Uop-HuvjprNAmNRtnB_4FG88gqNCZuEPQPuFasFsa-cKr7ODWzfwdUE2r-H4fnFr5iJs5rebbqU/s1600-h/2009+more+318.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGXorshJo64pvM5ZJy9319ntoYedIT812A8SBrxlNwU3dZhUhw4oltH5zSbYuxM0r4Uop-HuvjprNAmNRtnB_4FG88gqNCZuEPQPuFasFsa-cKr7ODWzfwdUE2r-H4fnFr5iJs5rebbqU/s400/2009+more+318.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426355942134703842" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>There is something so simple about summer.

The first thing he said to me was "How do you deal with all this hair!" Well first of all my hair is not quite that long, but same basic principles apply. When your hair is in your face move it!!!!! He went from somewhat looking like me to looking like "Cousin It". He later told me that there was no way he was going to go trick-or-treating in that costume, he was going to have to stick with his original plan and be "The Edge" from U2.

I figure I better get one in for the month. I am sitting right now by a window that looks out on my backyard. I can't believe the leaves that are falling and there is definitely a "Fall" feel to the day. I love this time of the year and I also feel a little sadness to see the light fading a bit everyday. It is interesting to think about how attractive light is and how hard it is for some when there is not a lot of it around. I know I am one that loves the longer days. I know your thinking....... is there a reason for this post????..........well actually there isn't and lucky for you I have turned off the comments section so you will not have to feel obligated to leave a comment for such a lame post.<div><br /></div><div>For all you that hate to see the light fade here is a bit of info that will cheer you up. It will get progressively dark until December 21st. After that date we will gain a minute of light everyday!!!!!

I always thought it was going to be from bunny-hopping the bleachers at the Olympus, but again I am wrong. I would personally like to go around the neighborhood and explain this to everyone that thinks I am an idiot for letting my son ride a five foot unicycle, but instead they are going to assume it is from the unicycle. The worst part about this is when he gets his hard cast on and is able to actually ride the unicycle with the broken arm. Boy......

I asked her why and she said that mine has too much sparkle in it. I reminded her that she was fourteen and it was okay to wear a little lip gloss. She then told me that if Heavenly Father wanted her to have sparkly lips, He would have made her sparkly when she was born. Interesting..... all I could think about was that maybe Zoe should be a vampire and then maybe she would wear lip gloss. I am sorry if that doesn't make sense to all of you who haven't read or watched Twilight, but it makes perfect sense to me.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790626877833932257.post-6803956798009234872009-03-08T13:03:00.004-06:002009-03-08T13:25:36.289-06:00This makes me laugh!<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vdUhNTSqwCA&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vdUhNTSqwCA&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790626877833932257.post-35132197245954792142009-02-18T16:28:00.002-07:002009-02-18T16:33:51.468-07:00Praise to the yoga pants!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhnaGQGw_qWg869dco2xivMIte0YH-4FaW8P4i8D6UHFSkNCq18YH1f9nrF-XPXCF5GIOS7DyoQo-qyOEV4k7KQGi_mwqeuOdD5DUUPqgkEBxJ5Yq4ji0wyfHIGMY8E5ShxtNJbTrhqo/s1600-h/yoga-pants.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhhnaGQGw_qWg869dco2xivMIte0YH-4FaW8P4i8D6UHFSkNCq18YH1f9nrF-XPXCF5GIOS7DyoQo-qyOEV4k7KQGi_mwqeuOdD5DUUPqgkEBxJ5Yq4ji0wyfHIGMY8E5ShxtNJbTrhqo/s400/yoga-pants.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304283603651058354" border="0" /></a><br />I have been sick for three days now and have been living in yoga pants!

I immediately think I am having a stroke and get up and take a truck-load of aspirin. Then I lay in bed thinking about how I am sure I have a headache coming on and I really wanted to talk to someone so I would know if my speech was slurred. I didn't want to tell Renan because, well.................. he thinks I am crazy. So I laid there until I fell back asleep. I got up the next morning, much to my surprise, and remember my close call with death. Then comes the embarrassing part! burnt toast is not a sign of a stroke but a sign of a brain tumor. Apparently I have a brain tumor! Not a stroke!

I love summertime and this pictures make me long for the warm weather. Every year about this time I start to figure what I want to plant and maybe something new I can add to the yard. This year I want to cut out a new garden for a bigger pumpkin patch. I don't dare tell Renan, but maybe he will read my post and give it some thought. Renan..........there are so many benefits to having a bigger pumpkin patch, although none of the benefits actually benefit you, there are many benefits!

Okay that's a bit of a joke, but I think I can improve upon the old me and make the old me, a better and more improved version! so here is how I will go about that.<br /><br />1. For my mother's sake I will stop saying "My DAD'S DEAD". I will replace that with " My dad has passed away peacefully and he is with his Heavenly Father". Does that sound better? I like the shock value of the first because it still is so shocking, but my mom doesn't approve. I will miss seeing my moms eyes pop out of her sockets when I say that but I will have to think of something else to shock her with.<br /><br />2. I will once and for all clean out my basement for all of you who want to hang out in an unfinished basement. I have no idea why but my kids friends think it is a cool place to check out. That is the scariest part of our house and for those of you who think my house is clean, it is not!<br /><br />3. On a more spiritual note........... I will not procrastinate doing my lesson for the YW. It is really hard to do my lesson at the last minute when church now starts at 9:00.<br /><br />4. I will change my personal quote from " Fit Before Forty" to "Fat Before Forty". I have one year and it is not looking very good for me. I always wanted to be in the best shape of my life when I turn 40. I will have to think about that one for awhile and get back to you on it.<br /><br />5. I will get back to my normal social self. Okay so I am not the most social person, but I will walk outside of my house with a smile on and pretend that I am.<br /><br />6. I have a lot more things to work on, but this is what I will start with. I am sure Renan has a few ideas for me, but those are just "ideas".Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790626877833932257.post-46661200853213922962009-01-12T21:53:00.010-07:002009-01-12T22:09:29.035-07:00Happy Birthday Dad!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR_0gks6FyxDqcD3deQg5pxXO1u5mslBH9jvp9qgMr0UAzHru4TCf6LatTdy6qftMmxTRKhAd7168HTJdsyr1zF3YWSR9-YN0akd9evuU3_xNe4hCYS9b8YWxpB4Fy7Tbw4MICLBZXTn4/s1600-h/IMG_2819.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR_0gks6FyxDqcD3deQg5pxXO1u5mslBH9jvp9qgMr0UAzHru4TCf6LatTdy6qftMmxTRKhAd7168HTJdsyr1zF3YWSR9-YN0akd9evuU3_xNe4hCYS9b8YWxpB4Fy7Tbw4MICLBZXTn4/s400/IMG_2819.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290638082620984722" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibzioVCpAIOCSPMCpN78hlp30jt5BgM8zRVcTPf9OeIytivKQExhpy3kW2ryMM4W8nftMhrKf3oa8uoMPNVrZEqzNg2Ov_rpxB3TDr15Um2kqGCfzdzrMhwN9j6o6dYgwI0mSagYl0yDg/s1600-h/IMG_2865.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibzioVCpAIOCSPMCpN78hlp30jt5BgM8zRVcTPf9OeIytivKQExhpy3kW2ryMM4W8nftMhrKf3oa8uoMPNVrZEqzNg2Ov_rpxB3TDr15Um2kqGCfzdzrMhwN9j6o6dYgwI0mSagYl0yDg/s400/IMG_2865.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290637776830843730" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU6L7yfL7Cex2Z4YiXJ-tVQUWT0-1_MkQ1ND2wSNFGU2LFEeqGUokK3aNzg2NIj7W0Yejx1Y__sEtVS_6HzTg6CTk0im3wfU3Sk9nALEWCIMbamNTDGbwNWjH076txTCX38ji0o-4jDnc/s1600-h/IMG_2858.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU6L7yfL7Cex2Z4YiXJ-tVQUWT0-1_MkQ1ND2wSNFGU2LFEeqGUokK3aNzg2NIj7W0Yejx1Y__sEtVS_6HzTg6CTk0im3wfU3Sk9nALEWCIMbamNTDGbwNWjH076txTCX38ji0o-4jDnc/s400/IMG_2858.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290638505487184322" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMlyQcNH4ceXim9nRhCcxhmzNrSQ9A3UJQE-Mzk71LCyL_z53znJ6fgFgDgIlPJYjha5HHbZJzdNxowX0j-MmlsTmmScg56BGTCDVNySiSMbmT8dyq9kT97bqaGLnSVdlP9MHEMJ9db-k/s1600-h/IMG_2847.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMlyQcNH4ceXim9nRhCcxhmzNrSQ9A3UJQE-Mzk71LCyL_z53znJ6fgFgDgIlPJYjha5HHbZJzdNxowX0j-MmlsTmmScg56BGTCDVNySiSMbmT8dyq9kT97bqaGLnSVdlP9MHEMJ9db-k/s400/IMG_2847.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290640367005092050" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRXiWrRHamc9vz6CvsVF7XWMMwRcabZ-_qoFlAyT6h55RH-A8EQ4R16I_RgLbur3y4EHeZE-YjjApSfN85n5Mn96acFbqZwMBRivSCVLMOInIqdM2bosSUi9H2JXWbS8JYcw3xHQAyQ8k/s1600-h/IMG_2861.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRXiWrRHamc9vz6CvsVF7XWMMwRcabZ-_qoFlAyT6h55RH-A8EQ4R16I_RgLbur3y4EHeZE-YjjApSfN85n5Mn96acFbqZwMBRivSCVLMOInIqdM2bosSUi9H2JXWbS8JYcw3xHQAyQ8k/s400/IMG_2861.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290638977159706594" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh0tmvKijxLNr0sCBr-uxFLyh_IY02IB120O4ah2UhvGe6KHIb7C5pexJbOa7VWOTnpRUYEoHxzMEPDQSlUmb45kBE5j_wWDj6PM0-a6VsFCJr5E-4AWqK1SZHiWFrl-MC4qzMxy4wdNk/s1600-h/IMG_2816.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh0tmvKijxLNr0sCBr-uxFLyh_IY02IB120O4ah2UhvGe6KHIb7C5pexJbOa7VWOTnpRUYEoHxzMEPDQSlUmb45kBE5j_wWDj6PM0-a6VsFCJr5E-4AWqK1SZHiWFrl-MC4qzMxy4wdNk/s400/IMG_2816.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290639624865593074" border="0" /></a>(PS: Dad, if you could help Cathy out this week it sure would be great!

I do, and I remember exactly how I felt. At first I would feel a little bit out of control, then maybe a little numb, then comes the worst part when you want to throw up because you get so incredibly sick and you have to lay down so you will feel somewhat normal. After all of the craziness you stand up and stagger around for a while until the world stops spinning and you can begin to see clearly again. That for me describes the year 2008, and finally I am beginning to see clearly again.<br /><br />As I sat on the couch with my family on New Years Eve and watched the countdown, a huge sigh of relief came over me when finally this year came to an end. I am so thankful for new beginnings! Never have I been so pumped to make changes for a new year. So......... for all my family and friends Happy New Year to you and your families. I hope this will be a year full of happiness for all! And a huge thank you for putting up with me!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4
