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.

Clean Flicks movies


So this past year, Todd and I have been renting movies from clean flicks here in cedar city. It's been great because we rent PG-13s and even PGs that we didn't like to watch because of a few bad scenes. So we have been renting the edited movies. Well, unfortunately they are going out of business because of lawsuits due to copyright laws or whatever. Well, since they are going out of business, they are selling all of their movies. Well we went online and found out if you buy over 20 movies, they are only $8 each. So yeah.. we went crazy. We ended up buying 35 movies that are edited that we figured we probably wouldn't be able to see again, with out being offended in some way. So if any of you would like to come over and watch a movie, in about a month, we'll have plenty of good clean choices for you to choose from!

Mononucleosis


Ok so there are about 2-3 people that I know of right now that have mono... or mononucleosis if you want to be technical. And I was wondering what the deal is about that. Well I looked it up and found out that it is passed on by saliva or mucus, it gives you symptoms like the flu or what not and it never goes away! So if you get it once, you will always have mono, but the symptoms just go away. Isn't that crazy? I feel kind of bad for these people because there is a girl in my ward who has mono and she can't kiss her husband at all. That's absolutely nuts to me! I wouldn't be able to do that, I would just say, well that's too bad, kiss me anyway! She is DEFINITELY a very strong woman. So those of you out there that have someone you like to kiss a lot, be careful of mono, because it's out there and it will haunt you!

Sweet Jumpin'

So on Friday Todd and I had to sing the national anthem for the gymnastics meet. We decided to stay and watch the meet because we really didn't have anything else to do. We were going against Utah State University and so I thought it was pretty cool because that's a local college. Basically it was way awesome and we did really good, and we kicked their trash, sorry girls! But yeah, SUU has an awesome Gymnastics program and we have even beaten BYU, so that's really cool! GO SUU!

Ugly Betty


I think this girl is so cool because she's really actually gorgeous and she plays this not so gorgeous girl on a show... that's pretty hard to do.. anyway! I haven't posted anything for a while so here is something to look at!

Awesome Apron

Every Thursday, Todd and I go to the Episcopalian church in Cedar City because they feed any student for free. They are a bunch of really nice ladies who just want to feed people. It's really good food too. Tonight, we went there and one of the ladies was wearing an apron. On it, it read, "Have You Hugged An Episcopalian Today?" It was awesome! We decided we need to make an apron that reads, "Have you hugged a Mormon Today?" I think it would be absolutely wonderful! The people there are amazing though, and very very sweet. It's like seeing your grandma once a week and her trying to stuff you completely food with really good food. I love it! If they do that in your community, you should definitely participate and get to know people outside of your faith. It's completely worth it and very much fun!

I hate feeling like trash!


So earlier this week, I was feeling just fine. It was weird though, because as I would walk outside or whatever, it would feel like my lungs were burning, because of the cold air. I don't really know what happened, but it flat out hit me yesterday. I spent yesterday afternoon sleeping and watching TV. I couldn't even hardly get out of bed. So I asked if Todd could give me a blessing. He called someone from the ward and they gave me a blessing. I was struggling. Part of the reason, was all of a sudden, my back started to hurt so bad! Like, I couldn't move. Seriously, I couldn't even sit up. Todd had to help me so much last night and I feel bad but yeah. It was so bad that I just sat in bed and cried because it hurt so bad. So finally after the longest night of my life, I fell asleep. I woke up this morning feeling about the same. My back still hurts and I am trying to tough it out in school, even though I have no energy and it feels like someone is banging on my spine. I hope this passes soon! (Sorry that I'm complaining... well if I was really sorry I probably wouldn't have written this.... hmmm)
