Positivity....









Okay, so I should be doing laundry right now, but i'm not going to feel guilty about it, i'm gonna feel great about it. Do you ever feel like there is something that you need to share with everyone cause it is amazing (besides the gospel) well, I was reading a great article in a not so great magazine and they were talking about the book "The Secret". I had seen about five minutes of Oprah when she did her thing on it, and was interested but that passed as I got busier and busier in my life. So as I read the article, I remembered that I wanted to read it, so I went online and ordered it from the library and waited for it to come. When I received it, I knew hardly anything about it, but thought it might be a little off base with our religion, so I was very careful to be aware of how I felt when I was reading it. Anyways, as I got through more and more of it, I felt good and more interested. It was more in line with the church teaching than I thought it would be, it was a very interesting read, of course it was very non denominational and not very religious, although several comments were made about the bible and god. The jist of it was being positive. The Law of Attraction and how when we are negative, negative things are attracted to us, and when we are positive, positive things are attracted to us. It is not doctrinal, so you have to take out of the book the best parts right. It talks about controling our thoughts and being grateful and thankful and happy with what we have and we will attract more into our lives. It's an interesting concept anyways....and I think i'm going to change my way of thinking. I'm taking from it what I feel is inspired of our Heavenly Father and I'm going to run with it. Anyways, I just felt I should share this as it has been on my mind the last couple of days!!!!

Well I must say, I love the smell of rain and the feel of sun, and we have had a mixture of it for the last couple days. This week has been a busy one so far with hair and house, and cleaning.



My parents are coming up tomorrow, and then we are off to UTAH to my cousin Marks wedding. Its a quick trip that will start Thurs night and then End Monday night, with a lot of shopping and fun in between!!! My cousin Mark and I grew up together in Horsefly and were pretty good friends until they moved to Utah, so I'm excited to see him married and happy! Mark (my Mark) bought a GPS for the trip and then we got it home and it didn't have any US maps on it, so being as stubborn as I am (cause it was such a good deal) I decided to figure out how to download them from the internet onto it. Anything can be done these days it seems on the internet. So I cracked it and installed everything and it works great!!!! So now we won't get lost in Utah...now I just have to figure out how to upload the millions of Points of interest that are in the US. (The picture above is me on the left and my cuz Mark on the Right)

(This pic is him dressed up as Santa at one of our many Christmas parties, he would kill me if he knew I posted it!!!!)


We also get to see my little bro who is on his mission in Idaho, we get to take him and his companion out to breakfast!!!! So that will be lots of fun!


Scrapbooking has kind of slowed down these last couple weeks as I finally finished our trip to England and Denmark. So now I'm starting on Kolby's baby book, and find that getting started is the hardest thing to do. So I need to crack down on it.


Our lawn is getting so nice and green from all the moisture, and I am truly thankful for it!!! I love to see the blossoms on the trees and the green green grass. We bought camping lounger chairs from costco, and they are awesome, they fold into a small bag and are wicked comfortable! I love to sit on my deck when the kids are playing in the back yard, and soak up the sun on my lounger or read a good book. The weather has actually been nice enough to do that the last couple of days!! We truly are BLESSED!


Well I should probably go tackle my laundry.
