Nauvoo

This summer my sister, Heather had to take her son to Iowa. She decided to take me and my little sister along with all her kids. It was such an amazing experience. We went to Carthage Jail, where my testimony of Joseph Smith was reaffirmed. I know without a doubt that Joseph Smith restored the gospel and that he died for such a great cause. That cause still exists today. When we went to Nauvoo, Kelsie and Kamrin wanted to go everywhere and do everything. It was such a special experience to take the girls around Nauvoo. They listened so intently and even participated in the conversations. I am so grateful for the example these two little girls set for me. Later that day, we attended the pageant. It was an amazing experience. The saints were so intent on following the gospel and keeping the commandments that they gave up so much. I know that the gospel is true and that it is the only true church upon the Earth today.

Sewing Project

Addicted

Sewing

I have found that sewing is something that I really enjoy doing. This is one of my first projects!!!

Certified Nursing Assistant

I am currently enrolled in the Nursing Assistant Program. Education is so important in my life and I take every possible opportunity to continue with my learning experiences. I have realized that nursing assistants play a very important role in the health care field. They do some of the most important things to help ensure that patients/residents are comfortable. The class is very hands on and the people in my class get along well with each other. More opportunities will become available when I receive my CNA.

2009 In Review

Senior Prom: It was so exciting that I got asked to prom. My date was Jared Spackman. I loved getting the opportunity to dress up formally. Heather came down to do my hair and I got to take pictures with Kelsie, Kamrin, and Kyler.



Graduation: I received my high school diploma and graduated number eight in my class.



Sledding in July: A few families decided to go camping for the weekend in Nevada. When we got there their was a piece of snow that Jill Haney and I took Kelsie and Kamrin on. It was so much fun to go down the hill of snow and land in the mud!





River Trip: This summer I had the opportunity to go on a week long river trip with my sister's family. It was the best vacation ever. Nothing beats being on the river away from the chaos of the world. I even jumped off a few bridges, but I made my brother-in-law jump with me. The river was full of history, there were many stories of people who lived on the river. Thanks Heather and Josh for taking me with you!!!

College: I started my first semester of college at the College of Southern Idaho. My favorite things about college are the fast pace learning, the atmosphere, and the social aspect. I met so many new people and did so many new things in college.

Christmas in Canada

For Christmas this year my family and I went to Canada so we could spend the Holidays with my sister, Cristina and her family. The kids were so excited to open gifts on Christmas morning. It was so fun to help them unwrap their gifts, and they did a pretty good job unwrapping our presents too! I love when our family is together because much joy and happiness is felt and special moments are created.
