The past few months

So much has happened these past few months since my last post!

In May Michelle, Aimee, Cameron, and I went to California!

We decided we needed a little break

to Disneyland!

Me, Michelle and Aimee

We had a lot of fun. We spent Friday night and Saturday at Disneyland and California Adventure. Sunday we attended church and then walked on the pier and beach.

Monday we came home.. It was a fun weekend trip!

Also, in May school got out! I can't believe it is already summer!

In June I went to Washington with Beccah..

It is one of my favorite places!

We spent a few days in Moses Lake with her grandparents then went to Vancouver to see her sister Sarah..

While in Vancouver we visited Tillamook and the Beach... Here are a few pics from that trip!

Also in June our branch went to Yellowstone... We had a lot of fun!

For school we started clinic. It has been busy but fun.. We have 4 1/2 weeks left!

Easter....

I will post pics this week of the fabulous Easter party at Aunt Marilyn's that was incredibly fun as usual!

But since today is Easter I thought I'd write more of my thought on that...

I am so grateful for a living Savior!

I have been talking to a few friends lately about the atonement...

What a wonderful thing that is!

What other power can completely change a life!

Today I was reading the account of the crucifixion in Luke..

I think the part that really struck me today was after Christ was on the cross..

One of the two men also being hung was mocking Christ..

Saying that if he really was Christ then h should save himself and them as well..

The other man being crucified rebuking the man tells him that they were indeed guilty but Christ was an innocent man.. Then asks Christ to remember him in His kingdom..

Christ's reply was simple.."today shalt thou be with me in paradise"

It is the same with us today.. Christ is there for us...

All we need to do is Come unto Him..

Once we truly do that we will be the repentant type of person we need to be

Turning our lives over to the Savior and becoming as He is..

That is what the atonement is about..

Becoming a little better each day...

As we turn to Christ we too can be with Him in paradise!

Happy Easter!

Wow it has been a long time since I updated this..

I tend to get distracted pretty easy! I always just find new blogs to read

or things to do..

Lately I have had a lot on my mind..

I have been swamped with school and work, it seems so overwhelming at times

but it will all be worth it someday!

I don't really know what to think or do about a few current situations that I have recently became apart of.

Sometimes I just wish I had all the answers! Wouldn't that be nice!

I just wish that I knew the next step I am supposed to/need to take.

I know what I want but I am not sure how to make it happen!

This post a realize is incredibly random but that is honestly how my thoughts have been these past few weeks especially today..

I wish I just knew what other people thought or how other peoples minds work..

I do however have a few things to look forward to

Spring Break~The first week of April...

I am going to LA and Vegas..

Disneyland~ The first weekend in May

Summer Vacation!~ May 27th is the last day of school!!!

hmmmm and hopefully a few other adventures!

November 7

I am so thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I know that the gospel is what brings me happiness.

I know that by following the teachings of the gospel that I can become a much better person.

I know that we are led by a living prophet today, President Thomas S. Monson.

I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He loves me and you!

I know that there is power is prayer and in the atonement.

I am grateful for the Book of Mormon.
