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...

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!

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!
