Let's hear it for some back bone!

I have a problem...I don't have a back bone! Bug me enough and I give in, give me 10 minutes to calm down and come talk to me and I'll be fine. But at this moment of time. I'm done. I'm done giving in. I'm done being nice to someone who's just going to walk ALL over me and treat me nice ONLY when they want something. I'm lucky enough to have such great friends and family that talk me through stuff and listen to me vent to only watch me go back and do that same exact mistake again. Well guess what? I grew a back bone over night and I'm not giving in anymore. I'll do what's best for me and I'm going to stop letting them walk all over me. But here comes the hardest part...actually standing up for myself, but I'm going to do it. And I'm going to be happy about it, so goodbye to the tears, hurt feelings, and "I'm fine" answers.

Temple Trips!

These last two or three weeks I've had the opportunity to go to the Okur Mountain and Jordan River Temple. I've never been to either one but they are both GORGEOUS! Jordan River was a little busy for me but Okur Mountain was wonderful. I love going there and being able to just think and pray and read the scriptures and be able to feel the spirit so close. I'm so grateful that we have so many so close! And I know I did complain about the drive both times but still they are pretty dang close to home compared to other members, ( I'm just used to being spoiled :D ) Anyway, it was so much fun and I love the feeling I get when I go and that I have so many people around me that go with me.
