I'm a huge fan of treating others with patience and respect. Especially those who struggle a bit more than your "average" person. In fact, it makes me crazy when I see people just being straight up jerks to people for no reason at all. So this video is definitely my favorite "take that" moment I've ever seen and a perfect example of when NOT to use your car horn.--JERK!
(A mother was video taping her son riding a skate board when her attention switched to an old woman trying to cross the street. It is the best thing I have seen in some time. You can hear the lady taping also giggling as she records the event).
You go Grandma!

A Quick Vacation...
I have a friend named, Shari. We served our missions together in Madrid, Spain. We were never actually companions,(although we had a couple of the same companions). We did, however, become fast friends when we lived in the same apartment together for awhile on the mission. That was a fun time!
Shari is married to Adam. He is great! Infact, how many guys would sign themselves up to travel with three girls?
Shari, Adam, my BFF (Summer), and I went to Europe together for two weeks in the Spring of 2007. That was a GREAT trip! Adam & Shari like to travel. (So do I). A couple of months ago Shari and I were casually talking and the conversation turned to us talking about places we'd like to go sometime. We rattled off this place and that... and suddenly it was like magic. I heard Shari say the word "Nauvoo," and I immediately got so excited and started making plans for us. So off we went last week during Adam's Spring break...
On Thursday morning, we all flew to Kansas City, of course. We had a quick lunch with my parents in my hometown (Olathe, Kansas) and went to the family favorite-Oklahoma Joe's BBQ (of course). They have the best ribs! Then we were off to Nauvoo, Illinois!!
My brother, Kevin, is still in India, so we borrowed his car. Long story short, it broke down in Cameron, Missouri. Luckily we were only a little over an hour into our journey. My Dad is a rock star and said we should keep going and he would go pick the car up with a trailer the next day. Thanks, Dad!!
We called Enterprise car rental and they picked us up, just like their commercials say. No major harm done! We were still excited and happily arrived in Nauvoo late Thursday night. We stayed at the Nauvoo Family Inn & Suites.
I've stayed lots of places in Nauvoo, but this hotel has a special place in my heart. I first stayed there back when I was 16 and my friends (my "first love") came up from Florida to visit and we took a little trip to Nauvoo together. It's also where my family stays when we go up for the pageant and let's not forget when I was there for 2 weeks this past summer and EFY took over the hotel--All good memories!
It was absolutely wonderful to be there again! I love Nauvoo for so many reasons. This was my 13th trip to that beautiful town that sits quietly there on the banks of the Mississippi River and I never stop loving it. I always learn something new each time I go. Even with all of my world-wide traveling, it continues to be my favorite place on earth!
We spent Friday & Saturday touring all of the sites at our leisure and because it is the "off season," it wasn't crowded at all. We felt like we had the whole town to ourselves. The senior couple missionaries at all of the sites were so excited to have us there and we were able to chat casually and see so many things with pretty much zero stress. We had an agenda, of sorts, but it was more a guideline of logical routes to take so we could see things most efficiently. Good thing I know the town so well-No map was needed.
In a matter of two days:
*We went to the shops along Mulholland St. in "downtown" Nauvoo and enjoyed the famous town buffet at Hotel Nauvoo. We definitely found plenty of time to go to the Nauvoo Fudge Factory, (of course). I always spend lots of money on all kinds of yummy goodness there. but who can resist buying treats like these?!:
*We took the Community of Christ (RLDS) tour of the Smith Homestead, the Nauvoo House, the Mansion House, The Smith Cemetery and the Red Brick Store (where the Relief Society was organized and where the endowment ordinance began).
*We toured the Seventies Hall (the first MTC) and also went to the homes of Lucy Mack Smith, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Sarah Granger Kimball, Heber C. Kimball and Brigham Young. (It was my first time to Sarah Granger Kimball & Heber C. Kimball's homes-I suggest you click on those links and read a bit about them-very cool people!!)
*We visited the shops of historic old Nauvoo- the Browning gun shop, the Lyon drugstore, the print shop and the Pendelton Schoolhouse. We received our free homemade cookie at the Scovil Bakery, a free Nauvoo brick at the brickyard, and my personal favorite has always been the trip to the Webb Blacksmith shop where we watch one of the missionaries make a mini horseshoe
and everyone receives their own "Prairie Diamond" ring.
*We went to the Temple accomodations center and watched the video they had made to be shown at the Nauvoo Temple Open House. I love it! (It's one of those "best kept secrets" that a lot of people don't know exists)... Well, now you do.
*We went to the temple for an endowment session and did sealings afterwards as well. My Mom and Dad have stayed busy working on family history and sent us with family names, which was cool when I recognized the names were for people as closely related as my great-grandparents.
I love the Nauvoo Temple! It's beautiful in so many ways!! (Especially when you walk out of the temple and see this outside waiting for you):
It pretty much takes your breath away, huh!?!
*We saw the senior couple missionaries perform in the show "Rendezvous in Nauvoo" at the Historic Cultural Hall. It was absolutely hilarious with fun songs and a witty script!
*We spent some time at the Visitor's Center and watched the movie "Joseph Smith-Prophet of the Restauration." (I cry every time) and we breezed quickly through the "Monument to Women" garden.
*We visited the groves where the prophet, Joseph Smith, gave sermons such as the King Follett discourse. (In the summer time, they do a vignette there in the groves and the pageant actor who portrays Joseph Smith actually recites the discourse from memory. It's AMAZING!)
*We went to the quarry where the stone for the original Nauvoo temple had been cut from & hauled to the temple site by the early pioneers.
* We went to Carthage to visit the Jail where Joseph Smith and his brother, Hyrum, were martyred.
*We went to the Pioneer Cemetery and ended our time in Nauvoo Saturday evening by going to the exodus site on the Mississippi River at the end of Parley Street. President Gordon B. Hinckley once said walking Parley Street to the exodus site is something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. I have been blessed to have been able to do it many times. It is where I go to smile, to think, to pray, to reflect and often to write. I have many fun and personal stories as to why I love the exodus site so much and I can truly say it is my "happy place".
We arrived back in Kansas at my parent's house Saturday night. On Sunday, we went to church and then headed to the Independence visitors center to learn more about the history of the church in Missouri and then we went to Liberty Jail, which are both not too far from where I grew up.
Sunday evening, my brothers came over and we had a rambunctious family dinner, as always. I love those people! I think my favorite part was watching Adam & Shari sit back and try to keep up with all the chaos.
Monday morning we headed out quite early hoping for any flight out of Kansas City since most things were looking overbooked. We were able to get on a flight to Atlanta and spent the day there, patiently waiting for our standby flight to Salt Lake City to work out. It did, (like always) and we were back in Salt Lake by 830pm that night...a pretty much perfect vacation ending all too soon.

For the first time ever!
So before lunch yesterday, I had a message from the morning receptionist telling me there were flowers at the front desk for me. I figured it was a mistake, and she must have called the wrong extension. I didn't even bother going up there.
About an hour later, the afternoon receptionist called me to tell me my flowers were still waiting for me...I asked if she was sure they were for me, and she assured me that they were. I RAN from my office!!!
I was shocked! I can't tell you how many times I have daydreamed of receiving flowers at work throughout the years while I was "fake dating" this bozo or that one. And of course, none of those "dreamy guys" ever came through.
I had a rather emotionally disappointing evening the night before due to some insensitivity and unkindness from one of my long-term friends and I had been feeling pretty low, to say the least. (I won't go into detail)
So I considered it to be a huge blessing and answer to the prayers of my aching heart, if you will, to receive pretty flowers out of no where from one of my girl friends who just wanted to tell me she thinks I rock.
Well, friend, right back at ya! (You know who you are!)

My response to "Big Love"
This actually isn't MY response, it's my little brother's, but I think it's extremely well written, and therefore I want to share it with all of you. He's so awesome! So this is me quoting Jonathan from here on out....(and totally agreeing with him as well)
"I was tossing and turning a bit tonight. I guess I have a few things on my mind...one of them was paying the bills, and the other was constantly pricking the back of my mind ever since I first heard about it earlier this evening. We got an email talking about the HBO's plans to portray the LDS temple ceremony on an upcoming episode of "Big Love". The words "Father forgive them for they know not what they do" come to mind to say the least. Regardless of how many emails we send to HBO exhorting them to think twice about what they are doing, I doubt it will really sink in as far as the depth of how inappropriate it would be to naively portray something that is basically one of the most sacred spiritual experiences that basically anybody can have aside from death itself.
Although resistance is probably futile, it doesn't hurt to try--but rather than thinking of a way to try and keep the inevitable from happening, I found myself thinking of ways that I could answer the likely questions that my friends and co-workers are going to have after they watch it.
I have no idea how tastefully they'll be able to portray the ceremony, but I'm assuming it will be something relative to stripping down the pope and throwing him into the middle of the Olympics Opening Ceremonies...regardless, people are probably going to think it's weird just because of the sheer unfamiliarity of it.
So how about we try to familiarize people with it when they ask us questions about it...Ask them things like:
"Have you ever participated in or attended a private ceremony:
- That was exclusive to members of an organization and by invitation only
- That involved 2 or more prayers
- That required years of self-sacrifice, diligence, humility, hard work, and submitting to other human beings in order to be judged and found worthy of participation
- That involved ritualistic actions by the participants including wearing a ceremonial robe, hat, sashes, and
- That also involved synchronized, ritualistic actions where the participants adjust their articles of clothing all at the same time and in the same manner.
- That involved them wearing the clothing and performing the actions even though they probably didn't have the least bit of understanding as to what the clothing or actions represented except that it was part of the ceremony.
- That involved valuable advice and instruction from elders regarding what those participating have experienced and about the experiences they'll have in their life to come?
If they answer "NO" to any or all of these questions, ask them this:
"Did you ever attend or participate in a High School/College graduation?"

And I get to say I KNOW him!!!
So for almost 5 years now, I've had a friend, named Buck. I adore him. Some of you have heard about him before. Remember this?:
He's rather talented, to put it simply, and I'm kinda a big fan.
(Aren't we cute?! Yeah...This was last night-I love this picture!)
Anyway, since he won't toot his own horn (as his Mom puts it)..I will be another person to do it for him.
The UNICEF Tap project,provides clean drinking water to children in underprivileged areas of the world.They were looking for song submissions with the tagline "Here's to Life" to head up their radio advertising here in Utah. So Buck wrote a song, produced it, sang it, recorded it, and mixed & mastered it. It's no surprise that it's now on 6 radio stations at random times with 30,000 radio spots donated over the next four weeks.
KSL 1160 AM, 102.7 FM, KOSY 106.5 FM, KNRS 700 AM, KODJ 94.1 FM, KJMY 99.5 FM -
Or you can listen to it here
I think it's beautiful!!!
*sigh* ...Good ol' Buck. How is it you're so amazing?! :)

February Flashback
I know, I know...I've been busy. That's all I can say. Please forgive me. I think this is probably the easiest, quickest way for me to help you understand why I've been "MIA" all month. During February 2009....(in no particular order)...
* I swam over 2 miles (68 laps), biked 71 miles, and ran 36 miles.
* I bonded with the Utah mountains. I went skiing once, snowshoeing twice and snowboarding 6 times (5 times with the CHILL program, and once with my friend, Laura).
* I went out to eat 9 times with friends (Here are a few pics of just two of the gatherings)..
* I went to a Utah Jazz game against the Dallas Mavericks. The highlight of the night, however, was being there with my friend, Mariel, who's totally in love with Dirk Nowitzki . We were 6 rows behind the Mavericks bench. Mariel's goal of the night was to get him to sign her shoe ("his" shoe...whatever). The game was such a blowout, with the Jazz dominating, that the crowd around us became more entertained with her goal and joined in on the effort by yelling, "Dirk, sign her shoe!"...and eventually, it worked!!!
* I went home to Kansas for a couple of days to eat real BBQ
and to see my family and some friends.
* I spent President's Day weekend in Sacramento, California to see my brother, James, and his family. I love hanging out with my nieces!
* I turned 29 years old!
* I participated in 3 game nights (surprisingly not a single one of them was the usual "Sunday night games" that often takes place at our house here in Salt Lake.
* I attended the BYU combined choirs concert, saw the musical, "All Shook Up" at the Hale Center Theatre Orem (and HIGHLY recommend it!). I also got to see High School Musical on Ice while in Sacramento.
* I admitted to a boy that I liked him. He thinks I'm great, but didn't really seem to care...meh. Moving on...
* At work, I drove this bus numerous times (This obviously isn't me, it's my co-worker...but you get the idea).
* I toured the museum of Natural History at the University of Utah, The Olympic Park, Sweets Candy Factory & California Pizza Kitchen
* I went swimming for fun at an indoor pool, went rock climbing, participated in 2 Yoga classes, and listened to some words of wisdom from guest speaker;Bryan Kehl, who plays for the NFL (and was rather good looking as well).
* I attended a Special Needs Valentine's Dance-Sooo fun!
* I went on two dates
* I attended the 18th birthday party for my surrogate little sister, Brittney, and her 38 crazy friends.
* I saw 2 movies: He's Just Not That Into You (it was ok) and Slumdog Millionaire. It was incredible and definitely deserved every Academy Award it received! I'd say it's probably my favorite movie these days-and not just because Kevin & Amy live in India right now. Although it did amaze me to see the reality of their conditions over there!
* I attended an Oscars Party, hosted by my friend, Jessica...Formal dress, Red Carpet and all!
Hopefully I'll find time to stop and breathe sometime in March
