The Week I discovered Snapchat and Became Famous

Monday was Memorial Day! It was a fun day spending time with my family. I also went to the cemetery to visit my 4th great-grandfather's grave. Cool story about him. Ackillis Sellars served in the Civil War, and was from Alabama. He was a prisoner of war and was released in Council Bluffs Iowa, where he met his wife Clara Anna Humes. They pioneered to Utah, and eventually ended up in Idaho. When he died he was the only confederate solider buried in this area, so his grave is a big deal hear in Eastern Idaho. About 10 years ago his headstone was stolen! I am not sure why, and I found a source of a man who can tell me, I just need to call him. I found his headstone on Monday, (the replacement) And it was so neat to see! Definitely a cool story. In the evening I got my work out on at Zumba.










I was asked by a friend of mine in another ward to help take her Young Women shooting. Of course I agreed! I got my friend Dave to help us out, and Chris came along as well. I am so proud of the girls, for trying something new! They all seemed to enjoy shooting!



 Everyone has heard of Snapchat, right? That is everyone except me! My friend Ginger got me excited about it, so I downloaded it and it has been too fun and addicting! We had too much fun at work too.




Mama Jo is sweet and cuddly sometimes




Friday night my main man and I went out to dinner and went to the movies to watch Alice in Wonder Land Through the Looking Glass. After we made bad decisions with ice cream and diet mountain dew at 10 o'clock at night.

Saturday Women of Caliber had a photo shoot! It was so much fun! We dressed up tactical-like and took group pictures and individual shots. I wanted to take my pictures in the canal because it would look more bad-ass, but it was also pretty disgusting in the canal! here are just a few shots from my phone, we will get the real shots in a few weeks.


This week my oldest nephew turned 3! He is so sweet and cute, and I love him so much!

Sunday, Chris and I looked so cute with our glasses!

I had the honor and privilege a while ago to be interviewed by a reporter to do an article on infertility. It was such a good experience to tell my story. The article was posted this week and I could not have been more excited. I wanted to show couples out there who are going through what Chris and I are going through that there is hope! For the longest time the pain was too much, I would cry all the time, and I was so depressed and angry. I am finally at the point where I am ok. I have realized the great blessings I DO have in my life and the good life I live. I am no longer angry or depressed, I do get sad sometimes, but I don't catch myself crying about it anymore. I am ok. I still have the strong deep desire to be a mom and to hold my own baby and to be pregnant, I just realize that its not time yet. In a few weeks I am going to see a specialist here in Idaho Falls. He travels up here from Utah and he had gotten lots of couples pregnant. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and I am so excited to see what happens next!

Easter and Not Having Friends at Church

I had the privilege of teaching the Easter lesson this Sunday. I taught on the Savoir's last week on earth. I hid Easter eggs all over the room with scpritures on Christ inside them. The girls loved the Easter egg hunt because their parents say they are too old for egg hunts.  Sunday's are hard sometimes. I caught my self crying during sacrament today. well, because I have no friends. About a year ago our Ward was dissolved. I had a lot of friends at church, some who have become my best friends. My good friend Jenni who lives a block away and was really my only friend in the ward, moved across town yesterday. Another family I am friends with is moving as well. Church is the hardest place to make friends. I feel like because I don't have kids, and I'm not a newly wed, I don't fit in with any of the groups. The people my age have a million kids, and the couples without kids are kids themselves and just got married like last week, and no one has really wanted to be my

2016

I have sat and thought a lot about what I am going to say in this post. So much has happened this year, its been rough but it also has been a blessing. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right? I learned a lot this year. First of all the biggest thing I learned that I definitely paid for was listening to bad feelings. I learned what true friendship was, and saw the ones who cared and saw the ones who didn't. I learned about priorities and what really is important in life. I learned of death and that death is not the end. I learned patience. Maybe I didn't learn patience but I tolerated patience. I learned and always knew that no matter what happens in life that you and your spouse are all that matters. Lets start off with January. Chris was working at the juvenile detention center 45 minuets away from our house. This was a wonderful job opportunity that we both felt so good about. It started to become rough. He was gone all the time and we never saw each other. He

I like older men.

This weekend was Christopher's birthday!! My main man is 33 now, I'm still holding on to my mid twenties like my life is depending on it.  We went for a short get a way to the big city, Salt Lake City. Left the dogs with the grand parents and off we went. After I doused myself in essential oils I was calm enough to sit as a passenger in the car. I think I made my self too sick with anxiety and worry. Tears were shed for no reason in the middle of a resturant and hanging over the toilet Happened. It's either my anxiety or these fertility drugs I was taking. But I have my big girl panties on and can handle this!  The first thing we did was hit up Cripsy Cream. It's like heaven in your mouth. Lunch was at Roadizo Grill. We took our selves shopping and back to the hotel for rest.  The next morning we found a random Ward to attend to take the sacrament, stopped to take a look at the Brigham City Temple, and got back on the road. Like I said, this was a super fast trip.  When
