So, what have i been up to? Well same old for the most part, work, and yes it is really busy. I still go to the gym, i find it to be a good release of energy for me at the almost end of most days. Have been rock climbing sparatickly, which has been fun. Saturday mornings have been spent serving at the Temple. It so far has been an awesome learning opportunity. I have been able to study and learn more than i thought i would be able to. And it has been neat to see the work of the Lord work in people's lives, and to feel those who have passed on rejoice that their work is being done.
I have had alot of time to take a look at my life, the people in it, why i do some of the things i do.... and the list goes on. Some good insights.
I am excited for General Conference this weekend. I am really excited to go to Hawaii in a couple of weeks!!!
I went and saw the movie Fame last weekend and it was decided that it was the best worst movie we had seen. No realy story, and kinda random but i would probably watch it again.
I am gearing up for my '29th' birthday next week. I don't hace any plans and don't really have anything i want to do in particular, i just want to have a good day!
I came across a quote that striked a cord with me this week, "You really never know what kind of soldier you would be until you're faced with the battle of your life." Just something to ponder.

Love the Constant Reminders!!
So this past week has been good, busy but good. Getting very excited to head out to Hawaii in less than a month, and turn '29' in less than two weeks. Everyone knows that people go through hard times and have to deal with alot on a daily basis, but it seems that every day this week I have been reminded of small things either to be grateful for or to remember. One thing i will share that i read tonight, that brought tears to my eyes and just gave me that little reminder was,"Be kinder than necessary. Everyone is fighting some kind of battle." I guess that was brought on by the environment that i was in tonight and a few little memories that came back while being there. Just thought that I would share that little thought with you all.

Update!!
Well the beginning of a new school year, which means a little more schedule for me!!! Yah!!! Work is still the same, busy, busy, busy!!! I am excited to head to Hawaii next month for 9 days. My yoga class has started again every thursday night, and man i have lost flexibility over the summer. I am no longer the FHE coordinator in my ward, my new calling is as a Temple worker every saturday morning. Yup every saturday morning i get to be at the temple at 6:15am!! So that means no more late date night fridays for me:( I am loving it so far. It is a big commitment, and there is alot to know, stuff you don't even think of.
I have come up with another reason for my list of why I need a man in my life. I really at some point during high school should have taken a mechanics class. It all started on our weekend retreat to Fernie. Bad sign when the check engine light flashes and your car loses power.... oh well kept on driving. The car made it there and back without any further problems. Monday morning, had it checked out and they said, "oh that is not good!" What does that mean? So a scheduled appointment was made to have it checked thoroughly. The result of that check: new spark plugs, a throttle adjustment, and New Timing Belts!!! Yah!!! So i thought!
So another appointment was made to change the timing belts, and that will only cost $5-600. No biggie!! So fixing day arrives, and three phone calls at work later, a few tears shed, new timing belts, a new water pump, serpintine belt and some other part as well as a new cam sensor, i figured i was good for go, NOPE!! Uh another phone call to say that while changing the cam sensor we broke a part and we can't get it in until monday morning. Well give me a car then. So i got to drive a brand new car for the weekend, which was a treat. Monday, your car is ready!!! I leave work to pick it up, praying that i can swing about four times the amount they originally quoted, feeling really ill dishing out $1300, i drive back to work in my own car, get to work, park and let the car idol while i talked to my mom on the phone, and then the weirdest thing happened, a gun shot sound stunned me, i looked over and my side rearview mirror, shattered, no one around, just shattered, a few more tears, and a hopeless i can't do cars attitude, and to top it off check engine light starts to flash at me and stutter like it originally did when i took it in. Another i can't do this anymore moment hit, and with the enouragement of my mom, i took the car right back to the dealership, not so happy, and got the loner car back.
So i handed responsibility over to my dad to handle after that. Nope more bad news, i now need a new coil of sorts that runs about $230 plus labor, AWESOME after i paid the $1300, plus the $250 for spark plugs... what another $300 plus. One day i hope to have a permanent man in my life to take care of these things, and i won't complain doing the laundry!!! But I have a car that works so far, is paid for and gets me around in the end of it, so i guess life is ok.
