is this for real?

My friend posted this on Facebook
and I watched the whole thing with my mouth open.
SO COOL!

I wonder how long it took them to do it without mistakes.
I am thoroughly impressed and like this song even more now.
Enjoy.

i love conference

I look forward to it with excitement and solemnity.
We were lucky enough to attend BOTH sessions on Saturday.
(THANKS AGAIN MEGAN!)
It was wonderful!

By the end of the Saturday morning session my cup was overflowing already. I'm glad I took notes because I wouldn't have been able to remember everything I heard and felt. I was inspired in so many aspects of my life. I was able to prioritize and make some goals. I had felt for the past couple weeks that I was missing something or needing to do something and conference gave me more than enough answers.

I am so grateful for leaders of our church who are truly inspired not only in what they say but how they say it. I know they are led by a loving Heavenly Father that knows the hearts of His children. Even though life is tough and I get down I know He hears my prayers and answers them as He did this weekend.

I am excited to listen and read them again soon.

Photo On My Mind


This is a picture Fez took in Hagia Sophia.
I loved the picture but he recently made it black and white
and I LOVE it even more.
Excellent work honey!

Photo on my Mind/Still waiting...

Last August (2009) I made a blog post entitled
Remember the time...
basically stating we had won a trip to Maui.
What a dream right?!?

Well, it STILL is.
After more than a year of emails, phone calls, messages,
text messages, and threats I believe we have talked to
Mr. Kenny North a whopping 5 times.
And that's being generous.

Don't you love it when people ignore you
and ignore you and reject your call
(cause you can tell when they do)
over and over again?

I sure don't.
And I'm getting sick of it.

I am a nice person.
I don't like confrontation or being mean to people.
But I am about to the point of tracking this guy down,
busting down his door and making him pay up.

(Ok, maybe I wouldn't REALLY do that
but sometimes I feel like it!)


Isn't there some law against false advertising
or mail fraud or something like that
we can pin him on or threaten him with?

If you or anyone you know have any suggestions
our ears are open wide.

With all that being said this is the photo that has been on my mind as of late.
SIGH...

Another Happy Birthday!

Today is another day of birth to one of the
bestest friends a girl can ask for.

KELSEA BRINTON!!!

When this girl made drill team in high school we instantly became friends. We can always have something to laugh about, share personal and spiritual things, and cry with if needed. She is a rock and the best example of a good friend to everyone. I try each day to be more like that. And the greatest thing is she is going to be a mommy in March! I'm so excited! Love you tons Kels and hope you have a fabulous day because you deserve it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELSEA!

Photo on my Mind

A year ago Fez was in a photography class. He learned a lot and has been practicing them every chance he gets. He borrowed my dad's film camera for an assignment and got some really good pictures. We're still working on converting them into jpegs so we can actually use them but some are already done.

Here is one of my favorites.

Happy, Happy Birthday!

Today is the day of birth
for two of my favorite people!

Marissa King!
I still call her Marissa Neumann sometimes but she still calls me Jenny Wells so it's all good. Senior year of high school we clicked and became great friends. Two years later I came to live with her and her roommates in Orem and had the BEST year! She has been a huge blessing in my life. She taught me everything I know about activities/events, we laugh non-stop, can be completely honest with each other, and always pick up right where we left off.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARISSA!!!

My mother!
Where to even begin... she is a rock in our family, sacrifices constantly, gives and gives and gives some more, and always has a smiling face. With us being the girls of the family we have really stuck together and I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope one day I can look back on my life and see that I have become a fraction of who she is. Love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!
