Question #1: From Morgan.

If you want a question answered, read my Friday post and leave a comment. You could also leave a comment on this post if you would like and I will post and answer!

My question is this: If you could travel to one place and one place only (family visits aside) where would you choose to go see? And why? And would you send me a post card?

Interesting question, Morgan. I feel very limited with one place. I have a list of like a hundred that I would still like to see in my lifetime. Here is the big one: The Sacred Grove in Palmyra, New York. This is where the Prophet, Joseph Smith, saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. The story of a simple prayer being answered in a very huge and magestic way draws me to this sacred ground. As I was writing this, I was very touched and I better get going on getting myself there. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, this is a sacred and special place. I know that Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus Christ there and the world would be changed forever because of that event. My faith is strengthened to know that Heavenly Father and his Son, Jesus Christ live and that God still talks to His children. I know that He guides my life daily through revelation. What an important truth that was restored through a very young man, Joseph Smith in The Sacred Grove in upstate New York. For those of you who don't know about this amazing event and would like more information you can read more about it here: The Sacred Grove by Donald L. Enders

You can also learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints HERE.
Here is a picture that reminds me of this amazing place:

I would, of course send Morgan a postcard. Here is a list of ten other places I would like to visit:

1. Italy and Greece
2. Canada during the daylight.
3. All the baseball parks I have yet to see. The most important being Fenway Park, in Boston, Mass.
4. The Oregon Coast
5. Seattle
6. Tennessee-Memphis(Elvis places especially Graceland, and Martin Luther King Jr. Sites), Dollywood, Nashville(The Ryman and Grand Ole Opry), and Great Smokey Mountains National Park
7. Alaska
8. New Zealand and Austrailia
9. Some sort of a cruise to a tropical island(Hawaii would be fun)
10. This shouldn't be #10( this list isn't a priority list). Jerusalem and places where The Savior walked

Question Friday

Post a question as a comment and I will answer it. It can be about anything. Just thought it might be a fun game to play with all my wonderful readers! This is time for you to get to know about me! (Like I am not an open book, anyway, but this could be way fun!) I know a lot of stuff about a lot of things, so ask away!)

Stalking and other muses.

I am sitting waiting at the Doctor's office. This is the fourth time for the same issue. Why is medicine about elimination? I am hoping to get some relief from my ailment soon. I won't go into details because, trust me, you don't want to know.

About the stalking. I saw a guy at church that I thought was cute a few weeks ago. I was able to sit close to him in Sunday School. We talked a bit but not enough to be acquaintances. I felt like I wanted to know him more so I found his number on the ward website and texted him. Eventually, he stated he could appreciate a forward girl and invited me to hike with him Saturday. He got off work early yesterday and asked if I wanted to hang. I said sure so we watched some baseball and ate some pizza. It was nice. I think he is a great guy who is cute. Who knows if anything will come of it, but here is to the first time interweb stalking has paid off! Yippee!!!

I feel burned out already. It is coming a bit early this year. Tell me it is normal and okay.

Cheers!

And Sleep in She Did!

It is 11:30. I just woke up. Man, that was some sleeping, even if I went to bed at 3.

I have been organizing my house. I had planed on doing a little rearranging of my living room, starting by going through the books on my bookshelf. I also wanted to move the shelf to make some room for my printer and a cabinet. It turned into a major fiasco when I found that the bookshelf was getting wet every day because of the sprinklers. (or it may be when it rains, because I just checked and the carpet is dry this morning.) Anyway, I was debating whether to just move the bookshelf and get rid of all the moldy stuff or get rid of the bookshelf. I decided it was time for a change, so out to the porch with the bookshelf it was. I then decided to put it on the curb with a free sign because I really didn't want to deal with it anymore. It was nice because within an hour it was gone(oh the power of free!).

I then went to look for new bookshelves. I decided that I didn't want a big one but multiple smaller ones. I was in luck because Shopko had their three shelf bookshelves on sale for 18 bucks. I got three for about the price of one. Score. Here are two of them in my living room:



It may take a while to get used to the new arrangement seeing it has been the same for years. The whole goal is to be more organized and I think this will be a good start. I will now quit boring you with the details of my new living room.

The Timpanogos Storytelling Festival happens every Labor Day Weekend in Orem. It is a tradition to go to Laugh In night. Jane, Janette, and I went last night. It was wonderful. I laughed and laughed. It was nice to sit outside on a nice cool summer night. Great times!



And now I will go and enjoy the rest of my three day weekend, as should you!

Cheers!

Ah...Three Days of Sleeping In!

Well, we made it to the first official long weekend. It feels nice to be awake on a Saturday and know I have no where to be and nothing that absolutely must be done today. Nice, nice, nice!

Last night a few friends from work got together and visited a friend(former co-worker) and her baby. We then went to dinner. Then I came home and attempted to watch TV. Instead, I slept on the couch. Surprising, right?

Here are pics of the cute bambino. She is getting big fast. They never stay tiny long. That's why you gotta stop and play sometimes!



Almost walking on her own.


Almost Falling.



So cute.

Now, I am off to a run and laundry and a bit of cleaning. The neighbors are gone for the weekend and said it was okay to use their washer! Bonus.

Later it is the Laugh In at the Storytelling Festival. Very fun!

Enjoy your weekend!
