When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Our Wonderfully Magnificant creation!

So remember that snowman I told you about, well here it is, this was the next day, and well it tipped a little bit! I think it's wonderful! It's huge and it was a whole ton of fun to build. The only thing is, is that it's threatening the walk way a little bit. Oh well! Well just so you know, is our huge snowman that we so love!

HOLY SNOW!


Ok so I don't have my own pictures quite up yet, but today as I was walking to work, the snow was up to my knees. It was very cold. And very slow going. I felt like these pictures right here. It was absolutely crazy! Truthfully! :) Last night we were building snowmen and we built one almost 10 feet high, and had to use a ladder to put all the dressings on. I plan on going to get a picture of it today, so don't worry!

Awesome Song

Better Days


And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again


This song is written by Goo Goo Dolls. It makes me think of Christ and all that he did for us.

Hahaha

This baby is so dang cute! It kills me!

It's Me!

So today at work, since I was oh so bored by sitting in a completely empty lab and getting paid for it.. hehe. I decided to image google myself. This is what I got. Her name is Christie Fisher and she is spotlighted on some wakeboarding web site. I had a good laugh at it. Just think... this is me! :)

What is wrong with me?

I have no idea what has happened to me in the last few months. I have never been one to cry, EVER! I used to just get over it, and frankly I would hardly even feel emotion! Recently I seriously feel so overwhelmed with emotion I can hardly control it! Last night we performed at the Forgotten Carols and at the end I was just bawling! It was stupid though because I was sitting right behind Michael McLean and the spot light was right on him, therefore, most of the audience could see me blubbering. A few weeks ago we rented a clean version of the movie Click. At the end, I was crying. What is my deal? At first I was scared I was pregnant and stuff, but that's not it. I guess maybe it's because I got married. It's kind of been like this since I got married. Hmmmmm who knows? Any of you have any ideas?

RRRRRRRRRRRRight

Yeah do you remember that song that goes, "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" It's obviously a Christmas song. Well, that may be, excluding all College Students! Well those with tough finals that is. I've been working in the labs and well, basically people are going nuts. I'm in a lab of ninety computers right now and almost every single one is filled to capacity, some have two around one computer. The work loads have tripled and it's time now, that students can hardly even sleep because they don't have enought time to get ready for their tests. PLUS, don't even worry about all the Christmas flare that is going on, trying to shove it all in before finals are over so they will get a good turn out. There are tons of Christmas parties full of anxious people ready to get back to their studying. So is it really the most wonderful time of the year? You decide!

Tuesday, December 05, 2006

Hehehe

Ok, so this is a picture that we have up in our bedroom. For our wedding someone gave us one of those boards with the little sayings on them and what not. Well, this one says always kiss me goodnight! Well we kind of liked this, so we wanted to put a picture up of us kissing, just to remind us. Well we couldn't really pic one, so we put them all together! Todd worked on this for like two weeks. I think it's great and way fun! These are basically the only ones we could find with out us playing around and what not. Don't be grossed out, I just wanted to show you how talented Todd is with photo shop! hehe

Christmas Decorations

So we decorated our apartment a while back. But I'm just getting the pictures up. Todd got a little artistic while taking the pictures. It was fun though. Do you like our new couch? It was my grandma and grandpa's. It looks like an old people couch doesn't it? Well this is our apartmento.. enjoy!

What this time of year really means!

So I love Christmas. I used to absolutely loathe this time because of all the giving people and what not. Don't worry... I was just weird. But I've been thinking about what this time of year really does me. It's amazing to me that so many people can get caught up in the giving of the year. Yes we have so many people fighting for this toy or that toy to give to their children, but truthfully, does that matter? Probably not! Anyway, just listening to what people are doing and how they are reacting to what needs to be done in this world amazes me! Now is the time to remember Jesus Christ. The one who gave all. I think that is why we are so prone to be giving all that we have at this time of year. We remember who gave everything for us! So as your running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, remember why you're giving. Take a simply moment , even if it is while you're standing in line to pay for the items, to just simply thank our Heavenly Father for giving all of us such a wonderful blessing! A savior to die for our benefit!

Things you CAN'T do when you're NOT in a pool

This is hilarious

Forgotten Carols


Well Forgotten Carols time is coming again. I'm really excited to do it again this year. This time, Todd will be there and it will be a lot better than last year. This past week I tried out for one of the solos. It was for the song Arise and Shine Forth. It's a very powerful song. I made call backs against two of the most incredibly singers. I was terrified. I gave it my all, but dind't quite succeed. I didn't get the part but that's OK. I felt happy just to make call backs. Maybe next year... ha yeah right. Like I already stated before, I'm musically stagnant.

Guitars

For those of you who don't know, Todd plays the guitar. He plays it rather well too. I love it when I'm in the bathroom or kitchen getting ready for the day or finishing making a dinner and he's in the front room just playing around on the guitar. It's so soothing for me. It is rock hard guitar solos or stupid I hate you ballads, just simple, beautiful music coming from him strumming a few strings. He's been teaching me a little and I'm a slow learner so we'll have to see about how that goes, but it is wonderful! It's a great new addition to our home. I can't wait until he can teach our children this art of music that he has learned! I love him even that much more for playing me beautiful music!

As much as I love SUU, there is one thing that I'm about to freak out about right now. I have to take two classes, and perferably this next semester, but the problem is, they overlap eachother. Yeah basically I'm about to scream! They aren't even offered at different times or anything.. STUPID! Anyway, just thought I would let you know!

LLAMA FACE!

Recently Developed Habit

When Todd was younger, he couldn't say his r's like a lot of little kids with they try to talk. Lately, we have been talking back and forth in a way that a little kid would just because it's funny and sounds kind of cool. It's not good though because I find myself talking like that with other people like professors or people I'm trying to help at work.. it's kind of embarrassing! So if you ever catching me talking like that, that's why!

New Thought


So I just finished reading this book. I would suggest it to anyone. It's rather funny. This is the time in life that you might want to read it too... if you read it, you'll understand! Anyway, in the book one of the characters gave a rather profound thought. They were talking about humility. He was talking about how important humility is. He spoke of Heavenly Father and how powerful he is. He has so much power and it is because of his Humility that he is good. If it weren't for his humility he would be dangerous. More dangerous than Satan. I found that to be very heavy. I realized how important humility really is. It is through this life that we are humbled and are taught how to use our knowledge and life for the good, not to be proud and selfish.

Old Times

So I got this picture from Brittany. I think it's a rather interesting picture. I was thinking back to when I first moved to Richfield. We were all so different! We have grown up so much! All of us! Think about this picture, Katelyn was just about to pop, Janell and I are both married to awesome guys that our YW leaders warned us about, and Kacey and Brittany were both getting ready for their 3rd year of college. It's like us old 9th warders! It's crazy to think everything that we've all gone through in the past 6 years. Every one of you girls have made such an awesome impact on my life and I thank you for never giving up on me! So has all of our other friends such as Tawnee, Miranda, Kate, Mary, and Sophie. Not to mention the silly guys we hung out with! It's great to grow up and become you're own person, but I don't think I'll ever forget about any of you guys! You all rock my socks!

The First Snowfall!

Todd and I woke up this morning to a beautiful white world today! It was way awesome! The snow is perfect snow too. I'm seeing a snowball fight/snowman later! I"m excited! It kind of reminded me that night that we played in the snow that christmas break when Tawnee came for a visit. When we walked to Andrew's house. In the perfect snowfall! Good times!

Green bathroom. It's so big.. hahah yeah right! Thank goodness there aren't any more girls in the place.
Todd is collapsed on our rather small bed. Good thing he's not too tall! There are more pictures up now so it doesn't look completely bare! Oh and if any of you know who gave us that awesome lamp could you please let us know! (it's a touch lamp with lighthouses)
This is the front room looking into our fabulous hall! Nice TV huh!

WICKED


So basically I just found out that I'm going to be able to go see Wicked on February 16 in LA. It's not New York but it's totally worth it! Todd is coming too, it will be the BEST trip EVER!!!!!!

Friday, September 29, 2006

Last night Todd and I went to this awesome building right here. If you are wondering what it is, it's the St. George Temple. This is where we were married. It holds a lot of really awesome memories and stories for us. I just want you all to know, that I absolutely love this building and what it has to offer. If you don't know anything about this building I would STRONGLY suggest that you find out as much as you can without actually going inside of it. I think that it is absolutely beautiful. We were able to do sealings a few weeks ago. (Go to www.lds.org if you are lost at this point) Notice the middle windows. Pretty sure I was sitting right inside of the top middle window. I was actually looking outside of it at some people taking pictures of the temple. I was waiting for Todd and I started to think to myself, I can't believe that I'm here. It is amazing what power goes on in the temples. Just so everyone knows, I KNOW that Heavenly Father loves each and every one of us. He knows our names and he knows our needs. All we need to do is humble ourselves and reach our potential. We have so much to do and so much to work for, we just need to endure!

Weird Things About Being Married

Ok so I'm sure that you're all sick of me going on about being married and how happy I am. But I'm just so excited about it so I'll try to cut back after this. There have been a few things that have come to my attention about being married and how different it is from being single. Talking to a lot of my single friends really help me realize that. Lately some friends of mine that are of the male gender have been coming up to me trying to give me hugs. Since I'm married, basically that's the last thing I want to do. I know that it's probably innocent on their part but I can't do that anymore. That part of it doesn't really bother me, it's the fact that I feel very uncomfortable around guys, and I don't want ANY phsycial contact with any of them is what bothers me. I've never felt this way, but I think this is the way I should feel. Todd has even talked to a couple of guys because it gets to me so much, and he just doesn't go up and talks to people like that. It's weird, I know! Another weird thing, how I feel so inadaquate when I'm alone. I feel like I'm a missionary or something with companion envy. Seriously! The other day I went to Wal-mart to pick up some groceries. I went by myself which I didn't think was going to be that big of a deal but when i got there I kept thinking, I wish that Todd was here so I could ask him whether or not he would want this or not or what kind he would want. It was the first time I had been to Wal-mart with out him in probably 6 months. Strange, I know! I'm not complaining about marriage at all! It's just adjusting to what has happened. I am so happy and he is so awesome! He treats me GREAT! I seriously couldn't ask for anything better than my wonderul husband! I love him so much and I know that he loves me back. It's crazy but it's so worth it!

Oh an my last one is balloons and bright colors! It also represents birthdays and parties! So just so you know, these are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember a few of these things and then I don't feel so bad! (Guess what movie!)
