I feel very blessed right now and realized that I usually think about the things in my life that bother me. It’s time to focus on what I’m thankful for. So here are the things I feel thankful for today:
An amazing husband. I can’t take him for granted because I know what it’s like [...]

So it turns out I don’t have gestational diabetes, which I am thankful for. After hearing everything my sister has to go through because of it, I’m very thankful. I still don’t have a side shot of my pregnant belly, but it’s definitely growing. (I’ll save this for another post, but I’m just wondering: why [...]

How do you deal with stress? Some people thrive on it, accomplishing more and getting energized by it. Not me.
I am one of those people who cannot handle an overabundance of tasks to do at once – I freak out and simply withdraw from life for a while when that happens. I can accomplish only [...]

I wrote this post a LONG time ago and forgot to post it. But here you have it – how I met my husband:
Jamie had a really great post about how she met her husband, and she invited everyone else to post their ‘how we met’ story. So here is mine.
My story is different from [...]

This new church assignment I have (I work with the women’s organization) is taking up MUCH more time than I thought it would. I did nothing but church stuff today.
And in some ways it’s a good thing, because when I’m serving other people I don’t have time to worry or feel sad. But at the [...]

The upside of being unemployed is that you have copious amounts of time available to you. My former self would have wasted the time feeling sorry for myself. But this time I’m taking advantage of it and doing what I’ve always wanted to do – write.
I started my blog Evolving Blueprint, (which many of you [...]

Isn’t it interesting how some people come into your life and you connect in such a way that you know they’ll always be a part of you? And you never know ahead of time who will become so important to you.
My coworker Heather is one of those people. I didn’t even really know her for [...]

I just got back from the wedding and reception of one of my best friends — TK. It was a beautiful reception. I was impressed that she could make a church cultural hall look so elegant. Kudos to her; she always was creative like that. And seeing her so happy made me happy too.
A few [...]

Thanks to everyone who replied to my request for back pain advice! I ended up going to my primary doctor, and she referred me to a back specialist, and also to physical therapy. So I think I’ll be set.
Meanwhile, sueing the university seems more and more appealing the longer this stupid pain lasts. They are [...]

I met Jewell Parker Rhodes today. She is truly one of the nicest people I have ever met. She writes novels and she is the current director of the Piper House. I want to be like her.
Here’s how it happens. I had finished up with a meeting across campus from where I normally work. I [...]

Two years ago today, John and I were married in the Las Vegas temple. It’s hard to believe we’ve been married two years already, yet I feel as though I’ve been with him forever. Anyone who knows us can see that we’re MFEO; there’s no one who understands me or loves me better than [...]

I attended Enrichment (a gathering of women in my church) and learned that I am not nearly thankful enough for the good life I have and the wonderful experiences I have had. Three women spoke of a Christmas from their past, and I was truly amazed. The bishop’s wife, who looks like a happy grandma, [...]
