5 things people should know about me.

1. I am honest. I seriously rarely lie and if I do it's probably just a fib. I just see no point in lying. Most liars ALWAYS get caught. I grew up having to lie for my mom and hated it. I despise being lied to. I simply just don't get it. WHY?! I have lied in the past, but oh boy did it come back and bite me in the butt. I've learned from that and everyone should just try their hardest to be honest. It's lovely! ;)

2. I am loyal. If someone were to give me a chance to be that close friend, I would be a dang loyal friend. I haven't had a "best" friend besides my husband since 9th/beginning of 10th grade. Maybe it's because I have kids now, maybe it's because people are just so shady and don't give me a chance, or maybe it's just because I'm not really sociable at the moment because I'm always stuck at home. Either way, I just don't have close friends near me right now. I care about people and am always willing to help someone out.

3. Do not mess with my kids! Seriously, just don't even try. I'm tiny (kind of lol), I am nice, sometimes shy, but you will experience a not so nice me if you mess with my children. :)

4. I am very open minded. Yes, people say they are open minded all the time, but they really aren't. Whenever a debate occurs, I always hear and try my best to understand both sides. I am what they call a "fence sitter." When people believe in something different from me (such as religious views), I never push my views on them nor do I tell them they are wrong. I even am curious to hear what they believe. Another example of me being open minded is that I am Mormon. Basically, we believe gay marriage is wrong and it should be between a man and woman, we believe in modesty, we believe in lots of things lol but my point is that I have family members and friends IRL and on Facebook that are gay, do not dress modestly, get tattoos, piercings, drink coffee, etc. I love them all even though I don't believe in their choices.

5. Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, the gospel, and my family are everything to me. :)

and the thanks continues..

November 5th- I am thankful for friends and neighbors-- the ones that left and those that are still here. We definitely appreciate all that they have done for us. From giving us rides, having us over for dinner, coming to our house for dinner, playing with our kids, and to just hanging out. They have made moving here and being away from family a lot easier.  


November 6th- This day was also testimony day on Facebook, so I combined my thanks and testimony. :) 

I am thankful for the gospel and for the atonement. I'm thankful for my church and our Prophet Thomas S. Monson. Being baptized was one of the best decisions of my life. Even though we struggle, I know that with Heavenly Father in our lives things will be okay and he will help us through. I look forward to the day that I get sealed in the temple to my husband &children for time and all eternity.

November 7th- 

I am thankful for Trenton because he can drive me nuts and a minute later crack me up. He is rough yet loving, goofy yet caring, and he loves his brothers. I seriously do love him!

November 8th- 

I am thankful for my mom and all that she does for us. I would not be where I am today without her help and support. I appreciate EVERYTHING you have done and still do for us. She does so much for my boys and I can't wait for her to finally meet Titan. I love her and don't know what I would do without her! 

Changes

It’s all about change! I have started to make some changes. I have gotten back to reading my scriptures and am pushing myself to be more active in church. I also got my older sister to start reading the Book of Mormon. I hope she sticks to it and opens her heart. I am focusing less time on my internet sites and more time with my boys. I’m working on getting on the computer mainly for school work and of course to blog a bit :) I’m getting the boys on a schedule and have started a curriculum in which we will learn and play together. My sister bought some school things for them and I am going to go and buy whatever else we need. One of the things she bought is a poster size chart for chores or activities with the days of the week. I’m looking forward to it! I’ve also started teaching the boys more about the gospel and the church. I’ve started reading the Book of Mormon with him as well. I’m praying I can stick to all of this. If you believe in prayer, pray for me as well! :)
