Word of the year

I have been thinking of the word I want to focus on this year. After much thought I have finally made my decision.

My word for the year 2009 is, drum-roll please...

"We can lift ourselves, and others as well, when we refuse to remain in the realm of negative thought and cultivate within our hearts an attitude of gratitude. If ingratitude be numbered among the serious sins, then gratitude takes its place among the noblest of virtues" (Thomas S. Monson, "An Attitude of Gratitude," Ensign, May 1992, 54).

"Where there is gratitude, there is humility, as opposed to pride" (Gordon B. Hinckley, " With All Thy Getting Get Understanding," Ensign, Aug 1988, 2-5)

I feel that as I focus on Gratitude I will be able to recognize the hand of my Father in Heaven more in my life and see all the many blessings he has given me. It's going to be a great year!

What is your word of the year?

This year

I got my very first New Years kiss. And it was good!!!

Happy New Year!!!
2008 recap coming soon.

Tis the season

Wow Josh and I have done some really fun things this holiday season and I thought I would share with you.

• We went to see Savior of the World- ok so I posted about this already but it was amazing, even if we lost each other for the first half.
• We went and saw the Christmas lights with Josh's family. Very fun. Does anyone know where the temple gets the luminaries? I would like to have some like that. We went a few days after Thanksgiving and it wasn't that cold. It was perfect!
• The Forgotten Carols. It was my first time going to see them, I really would like to make this a tradition. The music was so beautiful. Michael McClean is so talented.
  
• Last Saturday we went on a wagon ride through the Thanksgiving point Holiday lights display. This only cost $3 a person and was so fun. You can rent a private carriage for $30 a person or go in a wagon pulled by Clydesdale's for the $3. Also if you are afraid of the cold then you can drive through it.
  

I still want to go and see the Nutcracker. Does anyone know where this is playing? It doesn't have to be a professional dance company.

It was all a lie

Remember this post? Although I didn't say it I was thinking ah how lucky I am to have found a place where I can stay until I get married. Umm that was wrong. Because I have moved again. Not what I wanted to, but what needed to be done. This time though I can say I wont move until I am married. (Dear Universe, Please don't make me be a big liar. Sincerely, Steph)

Maybe heaven

This is where I will be for the rest of the week. Eat your heart out! See you all Monday

P.S. don't feel too bad its for work
