So, John and i like always, are looking for more ways to make money, our close to minimum jobs just aren't cutting it anymore so we're looking at our options. Since i'm having a baby and all :) i'm most likely not going to be hired by anyone temporarily so i've been tossing around the idea of selling something, you know, like those annoying parties you go to and just feel so obligated to get something.... not so intriguing but i figure, if i could sell something that people want and are in need of then it wouldn't be so annoying. Here's a list of the parties i've been to lately:
Lia Sophia (jewelery)
Sentsy (you know, the smell good cool stuff)
Pampered Chef
Mary Kay
I think thats it but then there's:
Tupperware
shoot, i really can't think of any others but anyway, i'm throwing out the Lia Sophia (i'm not really a jewelry person and i don't think most people would consider that expensive stuff a priority) Other than that, i'm taking a little survey, what would you readers out there most likely buy from anyone that was selling any of these items (or any others you can think of)? I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd leave a comment and let me know! If any of you have strong opinions about this idea, give me a call, i'd love to talk. Thanks everyone!

If the Savior stood beside me...
Standards night for our youth was tonight and it was awesome. A member of our stake presidency asked us to imagine to ourselves the words of the song if the Savior stood beside me, would i do the things i do, etc... But he said when dealing with your ipod, "if the Savior stood beside me, would i have the songs i have" or the cell phone "if the Savior stood beside me, would i text the things i text" he just went on and on and then he chalenged all of us by saying that the Savior already knows the things that we do, listen to and talk about. He knows and he challenged us to go home and get our electronics to a place where if the Savior stood beside us, he would be happy with those things that we are watching, listening to, and speaking about. I know this talk was for the youth, but it was also for all of us because we can all become a little better, and honestly when we do these things, we just make life a bit easier for ourselves by not allowing the bad into our lives. I remember in institute a few years ago i had a lesson about how we make our own lives hard by the options that we allow for ourselves. The prophet has said, don't watch R-rated movies, so if we as follower's of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ don't even allow ourselves the option of watching an R-rated movie than it ceases to be a temptation and we can be perfect in that one thing. We are in control of our own lives, we choose the temptations that we allow ourselves to have. I truly believe that and i hope i can take the advice of a wise man to help get my life into order, to change for the better. I'm so blessed. Thanks for reading

Valentines....I know, a little late ;)
So Saturday wasn't going to be much of a valentines day for us since John had work at 4 am, and when he got off work we were heading to Manti/Ephraim for the long weekend with Natalie and Cami. So on friday night, as i was in the kitchen, finishing cleaning up dinner, John was in the living room, in his Valentines outfit (below-all red) "cleaning up" -as he put it. Little did i know...
When i was finished with the dishes, i came out to this! A Valentines fort, honeslty, i'm sorry everyone, but i've got the sweetest husband in the world, he built this fort (in just the right color's) and he also gave me those beautiful flowers. He really is the greatest and i'm so lucky to be married to such an amazing guy! I hope he never forgets that!

Things I love
In life lately i've tried to find those things that i love, those things that i can be passionate about and honestly, i've hard a hard time. I want to just love something, something that is such a part of me, and i'm not talking about loving my husband or my family but i'm talking more about a hobby of somesort, something i could just do and something that i love to do. Well, here's my list of things i love
1.I've been to 2 of the USU Gymnastics meets this last weekend and i've come to the conclusion that i LOVE gymnastics, i wish i would have stuck with it as a kid but i just love it
2. Soccer's another thing that i love, its fun, and i could watch it whenever.
3. I love the summer, i love everything about it, i love boating, skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, cliff jumping, sunbathing, snokeling (thanks to Jay), i love being in the mountains in warm weather, and i love sitting on our front or back porch and not being cold, having a BBQ and enjoying ourselves, i love that.
But so many of the things i love aren't things that are even possible to do at any given time. I hope to someday find something that i truly love to do, and could do whenever i had nothing else to do but in the meantime, i'll envy my husband, he loves to do so many things, he could shoot his bow all day long and absolutly love it, he could ride his motorcycle and never get bored, he could hike aorund in the foothills or mountains and never even feel tired but just love it. I guess i've yet to learn a few things from my husband.....and i'm thinking thats probably a good thing. But if any body out there has some ideas for me of things that i can do, in the winter time, in Logan UT without a sewing machine, let me know ;)

For Sale! And a fun Saturday
Anyway, yesterday was a beautiful day, it feels like Spring! John worked til 2 and then we took an adventure. We went out into the back yard, by the river looking for ducks, i with my bread, and John with his bow. Well, it seems like the ducks weren't hungry yesterday because they never even came close to my bread... but they never came class to John's bow either. weird... The only place we saw them was flying through the sky, but we had a good time and seriously, it was beautiful. Last night we hung out with friends and had a great time, i finally found someone that loves fast card games as much as i do!
We even tried calling in something with John's distress call....still nothing, but you can see behind us the river, it really is fun to have that right in our back yard, even if it is kinda a hike to get there. Oh, and for all of you that are wondering yes I'm the blonde with that cute guy, and yes we finally found John's Hoyt hat that he thought he'd lost (It was in a bag with all of his hats....honestly, who would have looked there?.... :
