A new love of reading.......

I have been faithfully going to gym 5 days a week for a little over a year. I have lost some weight, my body has changed quite a bit, and I have been READING! I have found that I have more motivation to exercise if I am reading while I do it. An hour on the stair climber flies by when I am lost in my stories!

I really should have been keeping better track of the books that I have read, because I know there are more than these!!

Had a blast!!!

I was lucky enough to get to go with my awesome mom to the Billy Joel / Elton John concert. I am not saying that my mom is awesome just cause she took me.... SHE IS AWESOME ANYWAY!

We had a lot of fun. We went to dinner first at Iggy's and then off to the concert. The music was great. I loved it when they collaborated on each others songs. It was so loud my ears were numb. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.

We had great seats. I even saw my friend Jenny there.... she was way far away but I was talking to her and she told me where she was -- with binoculars I found her!!

Bath Tub Nightmare

A friend of mine had this link on her blog. These people live in Utah County and their story is heart-wrenching. Hold on to you kids. Love them. Pray for them. And please pray for this little boy.

I find the story very emotional on many levels. It reminds me that miracles can happen and that Heavenly Father answers our prayers.

February is Heart Month!!

February is Heart Month and February 7-14 is Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week. Did you know that Congenital Heart Defects are America’s #1 birthdefect? Nearly one of every 100 babies is born with a CHD. ♥ ♥ ♥ My sweet Micayla is my hero CHD Warrior AND Survivor ♥ ♥ ♥

Busy January.....

We had a good January. It was crazy busy.

It was good for the princess to get back to school after the long holiday, which was extended due to her bout with strep throat. She loves school. We finally were able to get her IEP taken care of so she can officially get the extra help she needs at school.

The month ended with a great Guns & Hoses Charity Hockey Game. Not only was it good because the Hoses won, but because of the money that was raised for Shriner's Hospital and the family of Josie Fox, a sheriff's deputy who was shot and killed while working.

We also celebrated what would have been my grandpa's 96th birthday by going out to dinner with my parents, sisters, nieces and nephew. I sure miss him!

The fireman was able to get on a different crew at work. It is amazing what a difference there is in him. It's nice to be working with people that have similar values!! We are definitely looking forward to a better year!!

I started a 365 photography project and I am taking an advanced photography class. I have already learned so much.

I have an officially unofficial photography assignment working with the Kaysville Fire Department. On Wednesday I went to a training fire they had and took lots of photos! It was a BLAST!!!

Looking forward to a great month!
