Christmas Lights

I am so excited! I helped my mom put up her Christmas lights; it makes the holiday season feel official. Let the Holidays begin! I never expected to be here for the Holiday season. But you know what they say, "when making plans for life, make sure to plan for surprises".There is something special about Christmas lights, don't you think? They brighten up life and put a smile to my face. I am not sure where I will be for Christmas, but I know that no matter where I will be, I will be driving around that neighborhood looking at the beautiful holiday lights. I love the holidays and doing fun services for people around me.
My life has had a couple more hiccups, but I am still optimistic. Life is still good, and I still have the faith that the Lord is guiding my life and I know that everything happens for a reason.

Happy Thanksgiving

Going Flying...

I am a pretty lucky girl, I got to fly an airplane after a nice thanksgiving dinner. It's always amazing to fly over everything and see it from a different view. We always have a good laugh buzzing by the house and having our family run out and wave.

Thanksgiving was great this year! I was blessed with the opportunity to be with my family. The grandkids always excite things too (gives us adults an excuse to play with toys and watch Disney movies -which I love)

I feel very lucky to be blessed with such a great family!

Life is good!

I did it!

I cut my Hair!

Here are a couple of pictures of my hair (Straight and Curly). I was in need of a change and this was a great change. For those of you who really really know me, are probably not surprised ha ha. When big things happen in my life i usually take it out on my hair ha ha... I guess it's my own way of feeling a little bit in control and a way of starting over and new. That's what is great about being a woman, our hair is our funnest accessory! (and i have been blessed with fast growing hair so these fun hair adventures can come more often then for others)

I was told once by someone who I used to care about and who used to be close to me, that my “silly” need for changing my hair, was something they disapproved of because it made me look like a wild woman and that reflected on “them”. Which I of course in my strong willed spirit informed “you tell me that if I love you, then I will change, but if you want me to change then you don’t really love me” ha ha so I am sure that I was dumb or foolish and my opinionated ways got me into trouble yet again, but I am me fun hair and all. Sorry for the tangent ha ha

My friend Amberly (who is a talented Beautician) put her magic to work and I love it! It's cute, it's lighter (ha ha), it seems healthier and most importantly I feel beautiful. Thanks so much Amberly you did an awesome job!

Question

I have been thinking lately that I need a change and I would like to cut my hair. I am thinking about cutting my hair to my shoulders. What does everyone think? I have been wanting to do one of these polls and I thought now would be a fun time.

Disappointing news

Well I received some disappointing news tonight. I had my Bishop check on the status of my papers and it turns out that a letter was sent to the Stake President of my home ward in Arizona a month ago. I was never contacted so I never knew and was anxiously waiting. Well in the letter where some request that I need to get done before I can resubmit my papers. Because of my colorful medical background, they are asking for letters from Dr’s to explain something’s and they are asking that I loose 12 pounds (that’s never a bad thing ha ha). So until those letters are received and that weight is lost I cannot resubmit my papers. I know, it’s disappointing, and frustrating that the letter was just sitting there for a month, when I could have been working on all this but everything happens for a reason and I know that the Lord is mindful of me. Thank you guys for your excitement and support it has been really encouraging and helpful. I am still going to serve a mission, don’t you worry. This is just a little set back. Life is still good :)
