Nom Nom Nom

This week was incredibly long and hard. As much as I know Utah needs the snow, I'm grateful for the mild winter this year. It's nice to have some days like today where it's nice enough to go on a little adventure up in the canyon. This canyon is one that is easily seen from where I live and I've always wanted to go explore it. I didn't know until today that it's called Slate Canyon. We didn't go very far this tie, but I plan on going again. This place must be gorgeous in the spring and in the fall. It was nice to hang out with friends and get some fresh air.





Besides this hike, this week I've decided that I want to do a 10 K this summer. I've been running every day and I think that I could do it by then. It gives me something to work for and look forward to.





The other super exciting thing happening is that I am going to start working in the temple! On February 13 it will be 5 years since I was endowed in the LDS temple. I've always wanted to serve as a ordinance worker there and now I've been blessed with the opportunity and the time to do so.

I loved being home with my family for the holidays. It was wonderful. I'm sure you guys don't watch all these videos I post. I totally understand. I'm sorry if you're sick of them. I just love making videos like this. While I was home I made 6 videos, 3 of which I co-edited with my brother Steven, who also does videos. It was a ton of fun. I also really loved holding my new nephew. He's so cute. Much of the break was spent playing Mario Cart with my brother and nephew. I'm still not that great, but I'm definitely improving!

I can't express how grateful I am for all the blessings I've received this past year. I've done many more things than I ever imagined I would this past year-losing about 27 pounds being one of them.

I've been thinking a lot about how merciful God is in blessing me with so many things despite my imperfections. I've wondered how it is I can ask for more blessings, including a best friend and husband, when He has already blessed me with so much. I'm definitely a beggar like is talked about in Mosiah 4 in The Book of Mormon. I am in so great a debt to Him and nothing I can do will ever repay that debt. But then I keep asking for more!! But I know that He commands us to ask and He promises we will receive. It's all so amazing to me. I know He hears my prayers. I want to be a better disciple to show my gratitude for all the blessings He has given me. I'm looking forward to another amazing year!

It's Snow Beautiful!
