Bucket List

I know I haven't been on here in a long time. In the last while Curtis and I were sealed

in the Manti Temple. I graduated from college with a Associate of Science in Graphic and Web Design. Right now I am still trying to find a job. I had a job interview on Thursday. I know it must not sound like much but being done with school is relaxing. I still wake up thinking I have a project due. Its funny how it take time for that to go away. 

I have been thinking a lot of what I would like to do in my future. On of them is to visit every temple in the world. I don't mean just going and seeing them.  Now that we can go into the temple and do work. I made a buck list of doing a sealing in each temple. I know it might sound crazy to do that many sealing in so many different place. I just want to visit all of the lords house and do his work. 

 

 

I will worship toward thy holy  

temple, and praise thy name for 

thy lovingkindness and 

for thy truth: for thou hast magnified 

thy word above all thy name.

  Psalm 138:2

I guess in a way it also to get some vacation time in, but truth be told this is the one thing I will 

work on until the day I die. So here is to my buck list. I hope to post picture of us at each temple  to let you know how I am doing on this big adventure.

When someone you love take a big leap of faith it make you think. Have I taken a leap of faith lately? When my brother was getting ready for his mission I just knew that is where he need to be right now. He is so amazing to go out for 2 years with out seeing his family and having them with him all time.

Another act of faith is going to the temple is where you are suppost to be. When we go to the temple we are having faith in our Heavenly Father. That is want he wants for us is to be with him and our familys forever.

I am so proud that 2 people in my life who have gone throught the temple the past few months. I am also proud of the ones who have went with Mindy and Weston. It is a blessing to those who go with the ones who are going throught the temple. They are our love and support. They also know that there is faith, love and many blessing in going to the temple.

To Weston, Mindy, Mom, Catherine, and Grandpa Millett I am so happy that you have done this great act. Without this we couldn't be together forever. I am looking forward to the day that you all can be there with me when I go to be sealed to my husband forever. I am so happy that you all support us the way you do.

Called to Serve

I am so excited to say that my little brother is going on a his mission to................ North Carolina. Weston is such a smart kid. I am so proud of him. When my other brother called to tell me he was going to North Carolina I went to post it on my facebook and a put that he was going to South Carolina I had to call back to see when he is going. When I called I forgot to ask if it was South or North he was going to, so I had Curtis call Tyrell back to see where it was for sure Weston was going.


After I found out where he was going I start to think of all the thing he would see out there. I wanted to know how long it would take to get from utah to North Carolina so if I need to go get my little brother I knew how long it would take to go there. But can't go and get him until his two years are up. I also went looking to see how long it would take for him to get from one side of the state to the other. For anyone to go from east to west it will take 5 hours to go from south to north take 3 hours. I start to also look at North Carolina state website to get a feel for what was there. I found out alot, they have mountains ( not sure if they are as high as our rocky), snow, lakes, sand and the ocean. They do have alot of other things there but it would take awhile to look at it all.

Weston is going places in his life. I sure hope that he finds out alot about his Heavenly Father and what other people are like in other places. I know North Carolina was not what he had in mind. But that is were his Heavenly Father wants him to go. When I think about him going on this mission my grandma A comes in to my mind. The last time we were able to talk to her, was a few weeks before she passed away. We went to see her Weston had some long hair going on. My Grandma A asked him if he had read the whole Book of Mormon, Weston said no not yet. Well Grandma A replied you better have that read by the time you come back next Sunday. That was in one week when she said that to him, Weston had a look on his face like, I will try but I don't know if I can, kind of I can look. She also asked him what was up with his hair? It was so long. When we went home that day I guess Weston though he should cut his hair off for my Grandma A.

Later that week he did cut it off. He want to show Grandma A that he was listening to her and what she had to say. We never made it back down to show Grandma A his hair was cut. Just like a missionary has there hair cut. When fast Sunday came Weston had to tell everyone that he knew that he was to cut his hair off to serve a mission. He knew that was what the Lord wanted him to do. Our Heavenly Father was telling him that thought my Grandma A and not was it the Lord but also was a wish for my Grandma A to have him go serve a mission.

I wish my Grandma A could be here to see him go on a mission but I know she is watching up in heaven smiling at him. Weston is such a great person who I am proud to be his big sister. I pray and hope that his mission bring him such a great glory. That when he comes home he can look back and say look I serve you well my Heavenly Father.

Weston I want you to know that you are a one of a kind of person. I love you.

Christmas Pictures

When you go to take picture with a dog that loves the snow this is what happens when he finds a big snow ball that he wants to play with. We went up Springville Canyon to take some winter photos. It was so much fun to see what kind of snow was up there. I wasn't sure if there was ton of snow or just alittle.
As we watch Harley take the snow ball out with his paws digging and biting at the snow I thought to my self dogs are happy with just a little fun. It doesn't take much for them to be entertain. If we could only be that entertain so easy as humans.

After all the snow ball fun we got some great pictures of us with Harley. Here is one after we got Harley to just sit there and look at the camera.

I love taking pictures with Curtis they always turn out so good. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Birthday's Glore

Birthdays Glore starts at our house from November 19- December 7.
See I don't know what my parents where thinking? Out of 6 kids, 4 of us celebrate our birthday with in a week of each other. We start out with Jaisha birthday it is the 19 of November. Then come Cyndal is the 23 of November. After Cyndal birthday Weston is just a few days later on November 28. We do have a little break because my birthday is December 7. So with the holidays and all the birthdays November through December is so busy with my family. What is even more funny my mom and dad don't really need to remember much because Kenden Birthady is March 5 then Tyrell is August 5. They have it pretty easy. Idon't have picture of Cyndal because I forgot my camera.

Curtis and I at the First Presidency Christmas Devotional the day before my birthday.

Fall is Here

I really love how much color there is in the leafs at this time of year. I wanted to take some pictures the other day knowing that the leafs only stay vibration for a few weeks. We went up the canyon here in Mapleton. There was some color but not tons. So after looking for the right spot to park. We got out of the car, I had told Curtis that I want a camera that can take really tight pictures. The ones that are like 400 and more. Well I took my camera that he bought me a few years ago. It is a great camera but doesn't do really tight shots. It works great but not for pro. shoots like I wanted to do. As we got out of the car Curtis grab the camera out of my hand. I thought great he doesn't want to do this at all. He going to take the camera walk a few steps with me and say, Well we came up here and look it time to go. So I grab for the camera again, but Curtis took the camera one more time I was so upset with him taking the camera out of my hands. But when he took the camera from my hands the second time he pulled a new camera out from under his shirt. He said, you don't need that one you have this one. I was about to cry. He had never been able to pull off a surprise before now. His cousin was keeping it in his room. I was totally surprise that is hard to do with me because I have to know everything that is going on.

With this new camera I wanted to take tons of pictures to get the feel for the camera and just to have some fun. The pictures are taken up Mapleton Canyon and up Provo Canyon. They were two different day. I think Curtis doesn't like going with me to take pictures. So for all of you who are loving the fall go take some picture of the great colors out there.
