I'm a mother! : )


So at a local Cowboy store they were selling little baby chicks! So our appt decided to get two! They are sooooo cute and fun to hold and sweet to listen too! I love having a pet! And it proves that I should have had one when I was a little girl....or when Ronny got married and Dad promised to get me a dog haha. I give it new water, give them food, clean out there potty stuff...and all that good stuff! There names are Rudy and Izabella! So when ya'll come visit me for my birthday you will just have to meet them! haha love ya'll!

Patriarchal Blessing

So I finally recieved my Patriarchal blessing on Sunday. I really would have liked to have mom and dad there but I felt like now was the right time to get it.
It was here on campus in the Honor Code Office. The Patriarchs name is Brother Sommer. He is probably the cutest little old man I've ever seen. It was him and his wife in the room. They have six kids and 22 grandkids and some great grandkids. They were overly sweet! They asked about my family and told me stories about Patriarchal blessings. Brother Sommers was so cute he was constantly smiling and was always laughing!
It was a very special time for me and the spirit was so strongly there. I cannot wait to recieve the hard copy of it to read over and over again. I will never forget the feelings and spirit I felt. It was life changing.
I'm so grateful for all of you who have made such a huge impact in my life! I love you!

Sunday Traditions






As most of you know there a gorgeous temple in Rexburg Idaho. You can see the temple from anywhere in the city. It is so beautiful and a constant reminder of what I'm aiming for. Every Sunday we my roommates have decided to go and visit the temple. We dont go inside but sit outside, take pictures, etc. It's amazing! These girls in the pictures are my beautiful roomates. All except the girl in the gray dress with pink shoes she is evas friend from home that was visiting when we took these picts. My other roomate is anti-social, which explains why she isn't in them.
I'm so grateful to have a temple so close and always in site. It's a huge blessing in my life!
Last weekend I was able to see the majority of my family. It was an AMAZING weekend! I absolutely adore my family! I look up to all of my siblings and I love them so much! It was so great being able to see all of them.
I miss Livermore......alot, but i'm having fun up here! It snowed today.. : ( but hopefully it'll get warmer soon!
