I Am Full

Me, Mindy Baldwin, Angie Truman, Jenni Miller, Lisa Watt, Marcy Albertson, Joy Anderson and Alice Anderson



April 30th and May 1st have turned out to be two of the most fulfilling and memorable days of my life. I headed to Women's Conference with friends, new and old, from Idaho. Little did I know how much I needed to hear what was being said. Not only was I inspired by the speakers and music, but also by those who I spent my time with. It really is true that we are here for each other, to step in where others may lack, to lift up when the going gets tough. We are Daughters of God who can do anything in the Strength of the Lord. I am grateful to be a mother, a daughter, and a friend. I love the gospel with all my heart and know that my Savior knows me personally and wants me to be happy. I felt his arms around me during so much of those two days. How wonderful it is to be a part of something so amazing. To have friends when we need them most and guidance from those who talk with God. I hope I can only be worthy of all the blessings that I have received. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior and hope to one day be like them. 

In our Savior, we have a "perfect" friend....

And through my trials and trials of others, I have learned that when God is lifting us up, we may feel he is letting us down. All we need to do is Follow Him.....

Timid Lion

A shy lion, maybe. But definitely not cowardly.



Riley had his Opera at school on the 28th of April. I remember the day he came home to tell me about the song and his part, he was so excited. He even sang me his lines! But, lo and behold, performance night comes, and he hardly spoke a word. He looked pretty cute in his Lion costume though. Oh well, at least he was smiling...
