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 awesome trip


Well this was me at 4 in the morning , this was the gate that our flight went out of in Vegas airport. We were so stinking excited!
This was the view from the airplane. It was gorgeous. At one point the clouds looked like a huge vat of marshmallow creme!
We stayed at his house.. hehe this is Roger, he was Todd's YM President back in the day. He's basically the funniest guy I know.. other than Todd of course. But he's cool! He was actually a witness for our sealing when we were married. Cool huh?This is at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. That is my parents and me. That place is so cool! If you guys can ever go, DO IT!
Todd is floating in the water...
Us holding our breath in the water...
Us getting attacked by the water...


Todd hanging out with the pirate in Monterey

My mom, me and Todd by the bay... It was so beautiful!

Me with the jellies
Todd is eating the anchovies again!

The Oakland Temple, it had been raining so it looks a little different but it's beautiful!My parents were married here, this is them after 33 years... weird

This is where we saw the hockey game. We were really excited!We were waiting outside of the door. It was cold but we were excited!
This was our seat, the very last row on the very top section. We had a blast!

The big jelly bean was pretty coolThat was a hot car... Todd was in love ;)

that picture behind us is made out of completely Jelly Bellys. It was cool...
Us by the jelly... motorcycle...
This was us at the airport waiting to leave. We were so tired. We didn't get home until 5:30 the next morning... well that's Utah time. But we had a blast!

California, Here we come!

So, this Saturday at 6 in the blessed AM we are flying out of Vegas to Oakland California! We are so stinking excited because we're going to Salinas and to San Francisco and all of the cool places back there. We're going to see a hockey game and to the jelly belly factory. Oh, we're also going to the Oakland temple again. I'm basically stoked! This week has been the longest of my life, but I think that's because I've been working two graves, plus many more hours than normal. And, I don't have a whole lot to do with finals now. So, just remember us this next week, and know that we are finally taking a break and having a good time with no worries!

Christmas Decorating!

This is our apartment. We got home last night and had so much fun! We played Josh Groban's Christmas Album and enjoyed it thoroughly. The first picture, is from our kitchen.. this is obviously with the lights off... most of the pictures are. There there's our tree, and then my favorite board.. on our tree, that says Dear Santa, I can explain. How funny is that? Yeah and then it goes on to us being so happy that we just finished decorating our apartment. Life is good!

Todd is funny!

Ok, so last night, Todd needed to go get something out of our car. Well he didn't really have outside clothing on so he went and was pulling clothes out of our dirty clothes basket to find something... Well he found my clothes. LOL First he put on my Wicked T-shirt, which is on him inside out. And then he was just like.. are these my pants? I looked at him and started laughing well.. because obviously they are my pants. In the picture he has on my flip flops, belt and shirt and pants. As you can see... I'm much larger than he is.. Stupid skinny guy! But this shows how I would look if I was his size... I love him... lol Oh and the cake is a cake I made right before halloween.. That's about as festive as we got...and yes, I know the pumpkin is red, we didn't have orange.. sorry

Recording!

So this weekend, Todd and I went to his mom's house and in his old room is a really small recording studio and shtuff.. It's pretty cool! Anyway, we recorded a song that he wrote and that I help him sing. It's a really cool song, it's about Lighthouses, so I love it! Anyway here are some pictures because I thought it was really fun and it made me happy as you can see..!
Yes and all of that stuff in the back ground of Todd playing, is our stuff.. yes this is our storage unit! ;)

WE DID IT!

Finally on our fourth try to make it to a session in the Las Vegas temple we made it! My friend Tasha went through the temple this past weekend and we got to go through with her, and since she is from Las Vegas... she went through that temple! It is a beautiful temple, and it's got an amazing feeling inside it as well! Seriously! If you ever get the chance, TAKE IT! So now we have been to the SLC, Mount Timp, Manti, St. George, Las Vegas, San Diego, LA, and Oakland. That makes 8! Woot! Maybe more will come!

zzz zzz zzz zzz zzz

Ok so yesterday was a wonderful day! I absolutely love Sundays. Well... Todd and I were having a great night just playing around and being silly in our apartment. We stayed up until about 2:00 AM. We slept in until about 10 but Todd wanted to get up and go get breakfast at McDonalds' so he could get monopoly pieces, he's obsessed. Well anyway... we got up and got ready for the day we're running errands and get a lot done. Well around 4 I started to get VERY tired. I made an early dinner because I had to work and I could barely finish it. I am now at work.. dead tired. see, I can't even put it in caps and I want to so badly. But anyway! Just know, it's always a good idea to go to bed early and to get up when you naturally wake up, even if you want to get monopoly pieces.

Pictures! yay!

So we finally got some pictures back. These are just a few, we didn't have the other role back so maybe we'll have some better ones when we get that role back. These are all of the ones that turned out pretty well so far. We have a few with us playing around... we don't like to be serious if you haven't noticed!
So.. whatcha wanna do? I don't know, what you wanna do? NOW don't start that again!
A for real picture, this is my favorite! :)

TAGGED!

I have been tagged so here ya go! But the pictures got mixed up.. but don't worry they didn't really have much of a different meaning.
1. I LOVE to just lay in bed and cuddle with Todd. We can lay in bed until like noon on Saturdays just talking and having a great time! I love it because it's so much fun to talk to him and to just have a time where we're alone and just enjoying each other's sense of humor and love for life and each other. It also feels really good! :)
2. I feel very uncomfortable going up to people I don't know and talking to them. This is hard for me, because it's actually my calling in the ward. I'm usually fine if I'm with someone else I know, but if it's just me, I get very shy... weird I know!
3. I love to talk on the phone! It is fun for me. I don't really know why, it's just fun! I love to get to know people and to check up on them on the phone, so if you ever feel like talking, give me a call!
4. I've only really ridden in a plane for one trip in my life. I did go on a small plane to california once but that wasn't very exciting. The time I went on a plane was when I went to Washington DC with One Voice... and well... yeah. But in December, we're flying to California.. it's gonna be great!
5. I really want to go to this conference. It is a conference where a TON of psychologists and really smart people in their fields get together and look at presentations and different studies. Hopefully I'll be able to go this next March. It's in Boise this year and it'll be fun!
6. I absolutely love to learn. I absolutely love my major. I absolutely love SUU! Now that I'm actually learning about things that I want to use the rest of my life, I have learned, that I just want to know more and more of what the professors are telling me. The first week of school, I kept hearing moaning and groaning about school, and I didn't feel that way at all, I was simply excited! The faculty here are pretty awesome as well. I'm glad I know where I'm going now with my profession... finally!
7. I am a board game junky. We are always playing games with friends and having good times. One of our favorite games is Aggravation. If you've never played it, go to Walmart and buy it! Seriously! It's so much fun! We're never met someone that didn't like it!
8. Someday I want to tour Europe and go to Australia as well. That is about all I have to say about that....
9. My new favorite show in the world is The Office. It's so funny! My very favorite character is Dwight. He's the goofy one in the brown shirt. He's so stupid sometimes, but so funny I love it! Just so you know, it's good!

10. I really, just don't like Rootbeer floats or some kinds of Orange juice. I mean I'll have them if they're there, but if there is another option, I'll take the other option. I only like Orange juice if it's minute maid orange juice..oh boy!
