DREAM

This book is probably one of my most recent favorites! It is a children's book about following dreams, and each illustration is done by someone different. At the end of the book, they talk about each of the illustrators. There is also a website that goes with it that has activities for adults and children (as well as literacy resources for teachers) that can be used to help people set goals, recognize their dreams, etc. If you haven't checked it out, you should! It is called Dream by Susan V. Bosak. Enjoy!

Easter--I'm Grateful :)

On this Easter Sunday, I am grateful for a Savior who followed through with a Plan, to go through the pains suffered during the Atonement for each one of us, then was resurrected on the third day after his death so that we may have the opportunity to repent of our sins, live with our families for eternity after death, and be comforted and sustained in times of trial and hardship. I am grateful for a loving Father in Heaven who recognized that man has the freedom to choose, granted man this freedom here on earth, and because of that freedom to choose, the Father knew that we would make mistakes so He created a Plan of Salvation so that we may return to His presence after we leave this mortal life. His Son, Jesus Christ, willingly came to this earth to carry out His purpose in that plan and both made this possible because of their love for each one of us. May we always remember the reason for celebrating Easter and show our gratitude for this great event in history through the way we live our lives and how we treat those around us. Happy Easter!!!

U.S. Women's National Team vs. Mexico....in the Snow!

So it was beautiful this past weekend and BAM....freak snowstorm hits Utah dumping over an inch of snow on to Rio Tinto stadium. The WNT played Mexico in the pouring snow. Heather, Sara Vargas (our athletic trainer) and I drove down....Josh was supposed to go with us but he got hit with a flu bug :( We sat in the 2nd row from the field, right on the 18 yard line! The U.S won 1-0. After they scored, they celebrated by doing snow angels in the snow! Unfortunately, my camera turned off while I was cheering for the goal, but I didn't get a good shot of the snow angels..such a bummer because that is probably a one in a million shot. To top off the night, after the game, the players ran over to thank the fans and one of the players ran over with a jersey in her hand....I started cheering really loud and she threw the jersey right in my direction and I caught it!!!!!! I didn't get any autographs though. :( Maybe next time!!!! It was such a fun game and totally worth it! GO USA!!!!
