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.

I'm thankful for family!
For thanksgiving this year, we went to Milford to be with Todd's extended family and to see his grandpa. We took our camera, but go figure, we totally forgot to take any pictures! We had such a great time! We love the Livingston family! (That is Todd's cousins). Lily had such a great time playing with all the kids and running around the gym. The food was SO SO SO SO good! Homemade rolls, delicious turkey, and wonderful pies! Oh Thanksgiving is truly amazing! Now I get to enjoy the Christmas season! I absolutely love this time of year! And is snowed, what a great welcome to this time of year!

Woes of and Unwelcome Ward
I've been having a tough time with our ward. We've lived here for almost three months, and I hardly know anyone! We went to our last ward for only three months and we knew about half the ward. It's been hard for me. Every week in Relief Society I sit alone. This past week there were a couple of ladies behind me talking about New Moon so I turned to ask them about it and talk to them about it, and they just looked at me like, "Why are you talking to us?!" I felt horrible! Now this next week I supposed to be speaking in sacrament meeting about loving your neighbor... oh great! I just got called to be a primary teacher and will probably have an even HARDER time getting to know people in my ward. I feel like I'm not even welcome most of the time. Or that we're just too weird for people to talk to. It's hard! I've come home multiple times just in tears because I feel so out of place. I miss having friends in a ward. I miss having friends period... I've really tried to be friendly and try to meet people, it's HARD! Hopefully things will change soon...

Weekend of Excellence!
Rulon Gardner, an Olympic gold medal winner in wrestling speaking about overcoming the obstacles in our lives! What a powerful story he has!
Me, My sister-in-law Carol and cousin Jolean! We had such a good time and truly were enriched as people this weekend!
Me and beautiful Carol! I love her!
Me and Jolean partying at the training! This weekend was absolutely amazing guys! I went for a few different reasons! 1- I'm always looking for a way to grow my business, 2- I wanted to get to know those members of my team better, and 3- It's so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!! The information I learned this weekend, I truly don't think I could find that quality of information anywhere that didn't have the spirit follow it! It was all about taking care of yourself and KNOWING who you are! I've decided I haven't figured that out yet! I am on a search within myself to figure out who I can become and what potential I hold! I'm truly on the path to better myself and I'm going to take anyone that is willing to go through the difficult obstacle of finding yourself with me! I truly think that this company and product is exactly what I needed to find myself and empower myself. The thing that I love is that I can do this from my home guys! I get to be a mother to my beautiful daughter Lily AND make a paycheck! I don't feel completely hopeless! What an amazing weekend guys! I can't even EXPLAIN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beware of the Posts!
I just put up a bunch of posts, I've been meaning to put a few up but it hasn't happened for a while...
The Evolution of the Facial Hair
Fun at the park!
Our Vampire
I don't think I have told you about Lily's teeth, but when her teeth came in, her eye teeth came in first so she looked like a little vampire. This is actually a family trait in my family so I was happy it happened with her. This past week her middle teeth cut through so she doesn't look like a vampire any more, but it was fun while it lasted. If you look close in this picture you can see her teeth. She wouldn't let us take a picture of it because she likes the camera too much!
Halloween
