getting Ready For Christmas

So grateful

I love Sundays !! Although this Sunday has been extra special. I feel the love that surround me and I am so grateful for all the good examples in my life. I wanted to share a few things that have meant alot to me and those that choose to show other people kindness and love through out the Christmas season. Thank you Thank you Thank you SO VERY MUCH TO WHOM EVER have put these surprises on my door step because I feel so blessed, loved and you never know how much the sacrifice that you have made to show love to another family means to me ! the images of this card was just a little bit ago with a very nice surprise inside. Brought tears to my eyes........... the other images of the card and manger were 5 days ago we get apart of it every night. Bryson and Dylan love it when they hear the door bell. Bryson Started yelling " thank you" When he picks up the present and they get excited to see what part of the nativity we get. Such a good idea. I think we will do this next year !!!

Needing to update

Between work, work, work oohh and work i have had not quite enough time to keep updated on my blog like i had wanted to or intended to. Life gets busy lots of things to take care of and well just life. But for a quick up date all I am going to say this time is to say that this last few months have been just great and have loved spending time with my family. I am so grateful for Bryson, Dylan, mom, dad, Esther (her family), Dustin ( his kiddos), Jamie (her family), Kristin ( her family) ! I am gratefu for my neighbors, friends and the relationships and friendships I have developed with Extreme Cleaning. I am a teacher in primary ( valiant 9 ) Love my class but they sure love to tease and talk a lot!!! Will miss our pizza parties every couple weeks and driving to get ice cream. I will be starting my temple classes in January, excited and a big accomplishment for me. this year has been a good year for me and i am excited that this coming year will be even better !!!!!!!!

Genealogy...

I love Genealogy.. Love learning new stories and finding documents to put in the book i am making. Well i have done ALOT of research, found a quite a few christening records from 2-3 generations back.. i was so excited and thinking about the stories i have learned.. Well today I went back into the FHC and the 2 people that have been helping me since they studied danish and Denmark. well i walked in and they said " heather, we are so happy to see you, you are either going to love us or hate us ... Apperantly I might have been tracing the wrong line.. there are two Soren's from Denmark with the same birth date and 1 lived in Deseret and the other in Leamington.. and they found me the RIGHT Soren and other documents to go along with it ... But was told to keep all the other stuff I have been gathering "just in case"... Quite the learning experience and I am excited to learn about the ancestors that I am really related too.. hahaha

No one is more worthy of your love than you are yourself

No one is more worthy of your love than you are yourself.

“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am okay.

Let your life shine ....

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

This heart didn't come with instructions

Adapt or die. As many times as we've heard it, the lesson doesn't get easier. The problem is we're human. We want more than just to survive. We want love. We want success. We want to be the best that we can be. So, we fight like hell to get those things. Anything else feels like death
There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't 'cause I thought I'd be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and you don't have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever
."Does it break my heart, of course, every moment of every day,

into more pieces than my heart was made of,

I never thought of myself as quiet, much less silent,

I never thought about things at all, everything changed,

the distance that wedged itself between me and my happiness wasn't the world,

it wasn't the bombs and burning buildings,

it was me, my thinking, the cancer of never letting go, is ignorance bliss,

I don't know, but it's so painful to think, and tell me,

what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me?

I think and think and think,

I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it."

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

For what it's worth...

it's never too late to be whoever you want to be.

There's no time limit

You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.

We can make the best or the worst of it.

I hope you make the best of it.

And I hope you see things that startle you.

I hope you feel things you never felt before.

I hope you meet people with a different point of view.

I hope you live a life you're proud of.

~~♥~~love ~~♥~~

To be nobody but myself -- in a world which is doing its best, night

and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest

battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.

So Off and on in my life I pay my tithing.... Well for the last year I have not been so good at it. Well about 3 months ago i hit a rough spot.. lost somebody i cared about. times I still miss him but i am a believer things happen for a reason.. even though ya might feel pain through the process but as I look back the last few months I am happier and everything is great. When we broke up i went back to church.. have gone to all three meetings .( which sometimes i have talked my self out of in the past.) I have paid my tithing every week for the last 2 months. read my scriptures every night for the last 2 month and we now say family prayer mornings and before we go to bed. I have met so many wonderful people. Since then my business has just done soo good. I am back up to 3 homes a day 4 days a week and 1 on Fridays out in bicknell which is worth the drive..(when she pays me). Almost all my customers have recommended me to there friends so i love word of mouth. ( the lady I cleaned for heard about me through a lady that i didn't even know, she had just heard about me from somebody she knew so the girl that recommended me to who i clean for now, i went and gave her a 1 hour free cleaning and went and introduced my self to her and she says she is going to use me.. )and all that I work for are well known and great people. So back to the tithing.. I have a HUGE testimony of tithing.. I know because i am doing the best I can and have had faith in tithing and prayer and have added a lot of positive in my life, i know the lord is by my side helping me along. I am grateful for the gospel, my boys, all that I have, our health, scriptures, my business and all the good example that are in my life. So for those that have been and are in my life and have been a true friend and been there for me and been a good friend Thank you from the bottom of my heart... ♥

fun in the wagon...
