A YEAR!

It's been a year now since my divorce was finalized.  Dang, it seems like longer.  I almost forgot but I had to look at the divorce decree recently.  I really don't like the fact that I was a statistic with my divorce, but I feel that it was needed.  I am grateful for this huge trial in my life and the overcoming of the many ups and downs that came with it.  My testimony at first was torn-down, but that makes it even better when it's rebuilt.  I had the foundation but the walls were shaky and fell down when this trial happened.  It was a necessary thing for me to go through so I could recognize the blessings that the Lord gives me and the love he has for me as his daughter.  I also know what is important to me and why.  I am so glad I have my temple recommend and that I have the church in my life.  My foundation is sure, strong and I am happy to know that.  I can understand why some people say they enjoy trials now.  Not that I do enjoy them, but I know that they are a necessary thing in life.   D&C 78:18 says: "And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours."  So I will be of good cheer and he will lead me along.

Halloween...

Halloween was a fantastic night!  I went to Trunk or Treat for our ward dressed as Tinkerbelle.  Then Madison and her friend Bailey went to Target and the strip.  The children didn't have time to trick or treat so we bought candy at Target, which works for me so I don't have to eat all the extra candy.  We walked the strip to "show off" the costumes.  Most people were sloshed and that made it extra exciting. There were quite a few bananas though, never thought that would be the most popular costume in Vegas.  Boring if you ask me!  

Like Mother, Like Daughter

I really think that we are totally opposite.  I have no idea why people think that we are alike in anyway. I mean black hair and blonde hair.  Isn't that all there needs to be said??

Yea, absolutely nothing alike....HAHAHA!!
