Conference Weekend!

This weekend is General Conference. I am very excited. Conference weekend is one of my favorite weekends for a lot of reasons....

1. Church in pjs! You can't beat that.

2. There are always special talks that I feel were given just for me or those I love.

3. After I read The Work and the Glory I can't help but picture in my mind saints everywhere gathering together with their families and friends to listen to the prophet's voice!

4. Living in Utah and everywhere you go people seem to be listening to conference.

5. Spending time with my family.

6. Yummy food.

Well the list could go on and on. So excited to hear what the Lord wants me to know this time : )

Happy Friday!

Just so you know.....

I thought that the Hunger Games was PERFECT! I loved ALL the actors chosen to portray the characters BUT I especially loved Katniss, Peeta, Prim, Rue, Cinna, Haymitch, Effie Trinket,Caesar Flickerman & Seneca Crane. I thought they were all exactly the right choice and just how I pictured them. I loved how the behind the scenes manipulation in the games was such a big part of the movie! I am so excited for the others and I think I will go see this one again soon : )

So if you haven't yet go see it as soon as you can!

Happy Thursday!

Stress!!

Okay so normally I don't stress about things! I really don't believe in it. My view is probably a little on the extreme side and maybe I take it a bit too far. There are probably times that a little stress can be good. But I just figure that whatever is going to happen is going to happen, things usually work out in the end and stress only makes things worse.

BUT....

recently there have been a couple of days that I was feeling some stress. My girls can attest to this because it was not pretty. The most annoying part was that I wasn't completely sure what my problem was and why I was having such a hard time. Maybe because it was an unconscious thing I couldn't consciously tell myself not to stress about it:) Well this weekend after a semi-meltdown I seemed to have figured out my problem or
problem(s).

1)I am turning 45! Usually birthdays are my favorite! My age rarely bothers me, I don't feel my age and sometimes people tell me I don't look it so I have never really worried about it. I figured that I would grow old gracefully someday when the time came. Well this year it was feeling like the time has come! Yikes!

LUCKILY...

I love to watch series on Netflix and Sarah got me hooked on a new one called "Brothers & Sisters" so I was watching it and Nora, who is the mother on the show and played by Sally Field, turned 60 and she is still super cute and very young looking. I know it is just a tv show but for some reason it really helped! I guess there is life after 45;)

2) I thought I had my internship all lined up and felt really good about it and then got a call from the top spot that I would want to intern at (my passion would be working with and helping women and this place is exactly where I could get that experience). I know you would think this is a good thing but this whole internship thing is a little overwhelming as I have mentioned before and it felt really good to have it all taken care of. This phone call changed all that. After a little bit of stress (okay alot) I am happy to say I have an interview with them on Friday! We will see how I feel about it when I go. I am just praying that I will know what I need to do then so that no more stress will be involved in this process.

Anyway that is my rant :) It's my birthday, I am going to Hunger Games tonight and it is beautiful outside so I have a feeling this will be a GREAT day!

Happy Wednesday!
