Just Stuff...

So, I'm still a little obsessed with the "Twilight" Saga (hence my blogger picture on the main page) - :) I'm reading them again - and am now half way through "Eclipse." They are just too dang good to put down! And, they're better the second time around, I think so anyway.

Not a lot has been going on. I had a Dr. appointment last week, and I'd lost another 4 lbs! Yay!!! So, that's 14 lbs total so far (in about 7 weeks.) It's very hard. I'm proud of myself, though. I haven't been exercising like I should be, but that will change soon. I've gotten off soda, don't eat a lot of fried foods, drink a lot of water. So, it's doing some good. :) My job hunt is going well. I've gotten a couple great leads this week, so I'm praying one of them comes through! It has to... man, it seems like I've been searching forever!

Yesterday, my mom and I went to the Dedication for the new Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple. It was such a great meeting. I felt the spirit so strong! I love the Temple. President Monson pointed out that - in Utah, there are now 10 Temples within a 110 mile span. And that just blew my mind. We are so very blessed to have even one, let alone 10 that close. It just makes me want to go more often. I love serving in the Temple. There's a spirit I feel there that I can't feel anywhere else!

Well, nothing much left to tell. I'll write again soon. Love you all!!!

Why do I get hit on at gas stations!

Geez Louise! It seems like the only place I get hit on, are gas stations. Do I just attract the wrong kind of guys, or what?! I had one guy follow me into two aisles, muttering under his breath, saying "man, that's the type of woman I want." SICKO! Then I had a guy follow me out of a Flying J - saying he had to ask me something. I was in my car by then, but rolled the window down a teeny bit to see what he wanted. Turns out he "thought I was so gorgeous" and wanted to invite me to a party. I, of course didn't give him my number - but he handed me his, through my window. Anyway, I guess it's flattering - but it's not the kind of guys I need wanting me! :)

Well, not much is going on. That's the only reason I have for not blogging! I did, however finish "Twilight" -- FINALLY! It only took me a few days (which is great for me, cuz I'm not a huge reader) Anyone who hasn't read it, I'll just say -- READ IT!! I think you'll be hooked. I loved it so much - and I'm starting the second book "New Moon" - today. Can't wait!! The movie does not do the book justice, in my opinion.

I will try to write sooner next time. I'm on Facebook a lot more, now! It's easier for me. Love you all!!!

Do I still blog ? :)

Man, I haven't blogged in a while. Nothing interesting going on. Just trying to hook a guy and save money! Same old, same old. Memorial Day was nice! It's always great to remember the people we love -- that have passed away. I miss my Grandpa Phelps, my cousin Kimmy, my other Grandma Fern (my dad's mom's name was also Fern) and my Grandpa Kennell. I'm grateful for the Plan of Salvation and take comfort in knowing we can all be together again!

I'll try to write sooner next time. I think when I have a little family of my own, I will blog more :) Life is great! NO complaints!!!

Another post coming soon...

I have some new pictures to post, I'll do that soon. I just needed to push that last post down. It was depressing :)

Life's going great and things are looking up!!! I'll post soon...

My sad post

This post is going to be kind of like my Journal entry. I've been going through a very hard time lately. I've been in the feeling sorry for "me" funk. I'm so sad that I'm not married yet, or have my children with me yet. Honestly, I know that I'm doing what's right and it will happen when Heavenly Father wants me to meet my eternal husband. Some days I just get so depressed and I know the only way to get my mind off it is to serve. I'm getting there. I've been praying a lot for strength and patience and I do feel that Heavenly Father loves me. I can feel it! I am so grateful for this Gospel and I KNOW it's true and I would never deny it or turn my back on it. I would die first!

I really want to thank my family, I'd be lost without their love. My parents are so good to me. I'm 29 and living at home, AGAIN. Which you wouldn't think is the worst thing. But I feel like I'm moving backwards and I get so depressed. I know everyone has challenges, bigger than I do and I feel selfish and I'm sorry. I'm just struggling right now.

My extended family are just like my own family! I love you all so much. Your experiences touch my life, more than anyone knows. So Thank You!! I've just got to throw myself into Service and things will get better. I don't want pity or anything, I promise :) I love life!!! I love my Family and Close Friends! I'm grateful for this Gospel and for a Heavenly Father that loves me, just the way I am. I have faith that things will happen the way he wants them to. I've got to keep pushing and have hope and faith. Without that, there is nothing!

I just felt like righting down my thoughts tonight! My favorite word in the Book of Mormon is "Remember" ... Remember who I am. A daughter of God!

Guess what?...not much!

I haven't written for almost a month! Ahhhh... I know everyone's been waiting. Yeah right :) hehe.. Nothing much has been going on in my life, which can be a good thing but doesn't make for much to write about. Everyone has such interesting Blogs and things going on in their lives, that I love reading everyones blogs. You all keep me entertained, so thank you! :) I've been working and playing hard. Time keeps a flyin' by, it's nuts! ummm, what to say...I updated some things and changed some things on my Blog at least.. :) I love that picture on my header. It's Hawaii, so beautiful! I wish I could say I had been there and taken that picture myself, but sadly, no...it's just off the internet, but it's still Beautiful! One day I'll make it there :) I would love to travel and need to while I'm single. I plan to after some more time and some more money comes in. I want to go back east and visit my Mom's side of the Family, and to see my Grandpa Phelps' grave. He passed away almost 13 years ago and I've yet to visit his grave. My mom and I were talking about him today and talking about some memories we have of him. It got me to missing him so much. I love that man so much. I remember I was 16 when he passed and it seems like yesterday. I remember the funeral and details of that day like it was yesterday.

Death is a hard part of life, but I'm so comforted in knowing we can all be together again! I miss my cousin Kimmy who passed away of cancer at such a young age. She was such a wonderful person and a true example of what Heavenly Father wants his daughters to be. I love her so much! My Aunt Dee Ann came to visit the other day and put it in a good way. It's so simple, but it's true. She said death is a part of the process here on earth that we all have to go through. Sometimes we may not know why, but we have to trust in Heavenly Father's Plan for us. That's so true. We just have to have faith.

Well, I love you all and hope everyone is doing great!!! If anyone has some "dieting" tips, or stress free tips -- let me know :) I'll write again soon...
