Brian Head

About 3 years ago, I met my "person." She has helped me through the thick and the thin. When she was up, I was down. And when I was up, she was down.... although truth be told, I don't think she has too many down days :).


Anyhow, for the last 3 years, we have been going on vacation with the Waite's. The first year we went to San Diego, and it was AWESOME! Last year they came to AZ and we had a blast burning our buns in the heat. And this year, we went to COOLER weather, Brian Head, UT, just north of Cedar City. It was BEAUTIFUL.

We had a good time, even after Savannah locked Jon out of the shower with the water running and we couldn't find a key and bless his heart he didn't even get mad..... although he probably was somewhat furious, but didn't let on. And that is what makes them SOOOOO great.


The best part about this trip is we were in snow at 8 am and in the hot desert sun by 4 pm. Very Funny!

Where did I go?

Wow has it really been a month since I posted on my blog? Has a month REALLY gone by and I have not recorded ANYTHING? Wowzers. I guess I better do better.

There have been some ups and downs around here lately. Like a really LONG roller coaster ride or a REALLY hilly marathon! But we (I) am doing better. I have just been seeing a lot of tragedy happen around me and sometimes I wonder why bad things happen to such GOOD people.

And then I remember a friend telling me the answer, "Because, the GOOD people can handle it." I am not sure how I feel about that, but I always go back to Elder Holland when he said, "Where are you going to go when it gets tough? You won't find what you are looking for if you leave the sanctuary of the church. You just won't." Those aren't his exact words, but I take away from that that I am where I need to be and the others around me are exactly where they need to be.

Its in the hard times that we see what we are truly made of. It is there that we grow stronger.
