Gordon B. Hinckley

President Gordon B. Hinckley, was the cutest man, and had such a great love for the Lord and every member of this church. His service and accomplishments have been amazing. He is the prophet I will forever remember. He has guided me through the words of the Lord and by example in so many ways in my life. I had the opportunity to see him in year 2006 and 2007 at the 1st Presidency Christmas Devotional, which was just fabulous. The spirit is undenyable and so strong when he is present. He always lite up the room with his gentle smile, his calming voice, and darling personality. How great that must have been for him to finally be with his darling wife again. They were the cutest little love birds I have ever seen. I hope one day I may have that same courtship that those two had for all eterenity. I cannot wait for that day. President Hinckley is the prophet that helped me know for myself that this is the one and only true church on the face of this earth, he helped me believe that I have a great purpose here on this earth, and I could feel the Lord's love for each and every one of us through the words he would speak at every conference or devotional. I love Gordon B. Hinckley so much, and will forever be thankful for him for everything he has done for this church, and for me personally.

From Me to You

*The Gift of Trust*

"Trust is fostered at the place the moment, when we are no longer putting our energy into defending our position. One of the greatest gifts we can give to each other is to be a safe place when opinions and feelings can be aired without fear of being condemned or shunned. Once we are really heard, we will naturally shift our own accord. On the other hand, if our defensiveness is increased, then most of our energy will be put into defending rather then considering other possibilities."

Park City...

Park City is gorgeous!

My family and Brian and Pam's family just arrived home from an amazing time hitting the slopes at Park City. The snow was wonderful, and my mom and I are getting better every time we go, considering 3 years ago we found ourselves taking lessons with the "Never Ever" group. We have come a long way. I look forward to doing this every year because it's something my whole family enjoys that we can all do together.

Getting warmed up in the hot tubs.

Playing games with the boys. We were having such a BLAST!

This is our model shot. We are concerns!

Posing on the snow after a long day of skiing and snowboarding.


This trip we do every winter is so much fun. We ski, play games, play pool, football in the semi-cold pool, hang out in the hot tubs, play guitar hero, talk, eat, shop, and just enjoy being together.

A Miracle

On January 12, 2008 at 2:49 a.m. My best friend, Kelsey Shuey had a gorgeous little baby girl . She weighs 7.1 pounds and is 19 in. long, they named her Olivia Shuey, she has so much black hair it is absolutely darling! I got the chance to see Olivia being born, which is the most precious thing, Alexis and I were just a crying. It was so touching.
That evening they found out she had pneumonia, and she was put in the ICU for about 7 days. We all want her to get better fast and come home.

This whole experience was the most amazing thing to be apart of. She is a beautiful little miracle.
