We made these at our "Relief Society Activity." (Since it is no longer called Enrichment).

I thought it was really cute so I thought I would share it with you. Our lesson was on Women hood and Motherhood given by the Bishops wife. It was a fun night.

Here is what I made.

So this is what my husband looks like during the NBA finals (especially when we want to beat the Lakers).

Hello?

No response...?

So I said "Josh hang out with me during commercials!" and he did this:

But I think he is pretty cute.

Don't you?

We did this on accident today. He got up and went to school, I got ready and we left as soon as he got home. It was funny until about the 8th person said "Oh you two are matching, how cute!" Josh said "Well now when you ask me if you look good all you have to do is look at me, and you will know that you do because I'm wearing the same thing, and this shirt looks good on me!"

Then I came home and changed.

The end. :)

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

How long do you want to be loved? Is forever enough? 'Cuz i'm never ever giving you up!

May 17th 2010. Two years ago we were married in the Cardston Alberta Temple. It is amazing how the time really does fly when you are having fun.

For our anniversary we reenacted our first date by going mini golfing and out to Guru's Cafe.

Neither of us have been mini golfing since then. I forgot how much fun it is, especially with your best friend whom you can be completely weird in front of and not care that other people can see you.

Here are some pictures from the night:

Yummy Sweet Potato Fries Mmm!

Love Journal.

I saw this on another blog and thought it was a brilliant idea.

We have decided to start a love journal. Instead of buying cards for birthdays and holidays we are going to write all of our messages in a journal. All throughout the year we can leave little love notes for the other one to find in this book. This way we never lose or throw away valuable memories that cards and letters provide. We will keep this hard-bound journal forever for our kids to read and keep.

I thought this was so cute and we have both loved it so far. It is so fun to come home and find a love note from your spouse in the journal. I didn't think Josh would get into it but he totally loves the idea.

I can't wait to look back on this journal in a few years and read all the love notes and memories we have made.

On the website they were using cool looking masculine leather-bound journals. They were really cute but I wanted something that would last. So we bought a hard-bound journal with a little bit of leather from Barns and Noble. We keep it on the shelf in our living room.

Here is what ours looks like.

Feel Free to use this idea. I loved it so much that I wanted to share it with you!

Mothers Day Weekend

This weekend Josh and I and two other couple from our ward went camping at Hobble Creek. Josh and I have both had severe Spring fever and have been dying to get out.

It was a lot of fun getting to know the other couples a little bit better and enjoying the outdoors. It was extremely cold as the weather dropped below 28 at night but it was worth it. Josh and I had our big warm mummy bags so we stayed nice and toasty.

It was a beautiful area. I would love to go again when it warms up a little bit more.

Here are a few pictures from the adventure.

Josh making our roasting sicks...such a mountain man! :)

Morning stretches.

Josh and I snuck away in the morning to explore a bit. Josh found a fence. He decided he would be the king. Weirdo :)

Posing on the fence haha.

The creek.

Roasting Starburst. This was new to me but very tasty!

Veteran Starburst Roasters

Freezer bag omelets. Also new to me. Also very tasty!

You put everything you want in a freezer bag and then put it in boiling water. Who'da thought right?

The result. Delish!

Our little hike.

Cute pregnant Karen

The spring. It really wasn't to impressive but the hike was fun. And short.

The end! :)

I'll go where you want me to go!

Don't you love Sundays?

I love it when you go to church and every lesson that day seems to be answers to questions or thoughts you have been having. I think a lot of times this is the way the Lord seems to answer my prayers, or at least they are the times I recognize the answers most.

I have been struggling a little bit with Faith and putting my trust in the Lord when it comes to what we are to do with our lives. (Josh and I).

We know that medical school is not the right thing for us as it has been confirmed a few times.

So with that said Josh will be done this June and will Graduate in August. We know that we want kids in the near future. We don't know when, but we do know right now is not right.

We know that so far we are doing what we should be doing.

It has been hard for me to see the future and know where we will be in a few years. I am one of those people that likes to have a plan. I need plans. I like to know where we are going, and what we will be doing, and where the money will be coming from, and how much we will be making for the next however long. But we don't know.

Over the past couple of weeks I have realized how silly this mentality is. I also realized that I haven't made room for the Lords plan in my plans. Interesting. I love it when the Lord chastises you and you come to a realization that you have known all along, but have been to stubborn to see. I have realized that it isn't my plans that matter. The Lord knows Josh and the Lord knows me, and his plan is what is best for both of us even if I don't know exactly what it is.

I have learned that it is ok to not know.

I love Sundays. Today I was reminded several different times of what I really should be doing. On top of doing what we know to be right, (the list...scriptures, prayer, church, temple, tithing etc.) I need to put my faith in the Lord. 100%. I realized that even though I've said that I am trusting in the Lord, every time I doubt or express fear that I am undoing that trust and resigning my faith. For the two cannot coexist. Aha!

I have known this all a long. I know that the Lord will bless us for doing what is right and that he will direct my path. I have seen it work in my life so many times. But yet somehow we still forget at times.

As we sang this hymn in Relief Society today I was reminded again.

I'll go where you want me to go:

It may not be on the mountain height or over the stormy sea,

It may not be at the battle's front My Lord will have need of me.

But if, by a still small voice he calls to paths that I do not know,

I'll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine: I'll go where you want me to go.

I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,

Over mountain or plain or sea,

I'll say what you want me to say, dear Lord,

I'll be what you want me to be.

And we will. Josh is much better at remembering these things and reminding me when I am in doubt. (He really is my better half).

From now on I will live to demonstrate that God can trust me 100% to listen to his guidance and council, to act, and to know that he has our best interest at heart. Trust me to trust him.

And I will be patient.

I heard a good quote today. "Pray as though everything depends on God, and work as though everything depends on you." So true, Faith without works is dead.

So there you have my little random thoughts for Sunday.

I know that God really does guide us in our lives, that he hears and answers prayers, and that he really does have a plan that is much better than the one that we had/have for ourselves. I know that he knows me. He knows my thoughts, my needs and my desires. I know that he will take care of everything if we do what is right and fallow his council to the best of our abilities. I know that If I put my faith and trust in the Lord and live to demonstrate that, he will bless us.

His spirt guides, his love assures that fear departs when Faith endures.
