Stirring the Pot...

Sometimes I think I need to leave the cyber world. I seriously start to much controversy with my opinions I guess. If you are a friend on my Facebook account, you have no doubt seen that I have been stirring the pot. Sometimes I don't think its very Christlike of me. Its probably something that I should learn to control.
But its such a fine line. When you believe there are injustices in the world and you feel the desire to try to fix it, then what? I still don't have an answer. I guess I just need to ask Heavenly Father to help me know when to stir the pot and when to not. You know, pick your battles? And seriously, I have never been that good about that concept...
I will figure it out...but I do believe that sometimes you have to realize you will make others upset in the process of fighting for what's right. Hopefully I still have some friends out there that can look past things they don't agree with, and see me as a person and a Daughter of God. That's the best perspective any and all of us can have.
So, I will try to practice what I'm preaching in this post, and pick my battles...

I'm Superwoman....

At least in God's eyes. I had this thought flicker across my mind the other day. I think back to ALL the things God has put in my path, has brought me through. And I really can't help but feel that He must see some strength in me that I don't see in myself. It really is a comforting thought. I really do wish though at times I could see that strength in myself! It would make things that are placed in front of me easier to confront. I could just tell myself, You are a strong woman. You can do this without breaking a nail!! Sadly I don't always feel that way.
I really can't wait for true Spring and Summer to get here. I love being outside. I love hiking, camping, and all the things that come with summer. Right now that is the biggest thing I am looking forward too.
So here I go, to try to and act like the Superwoman I (apparently) am!! :)

Also just wanted to share this song with everyone...I LOVE it, it really explains my life and situation, and reminds me about learning along the way. Not just being focused on the end result or what we HOPE will be the end result. :)

March Madness

Wow! I haven't posted in over a month! Things have been crazy around here, well not really crazy actually. But, quite annoying. My Dad and I got sick around the beginning of March, and we are STILL both sick. We both got into the Dr this week though, and are both on antibiotics. I'm hoping I start feeling better soon.
Our Anniversary was really nice. It was a quiet night, but memorable. We ate at The Roof in Salt Lake which was nice. I don't think we will ever go there again, but it was fun for a one time thing.
Other then that, life has been quiet lately. Just plugging along. I am really excited for Spring to get here. I'm ready to be outside again, and especially ready to do some camping. We only have one camping trip planned this year so far, but I'm hoping we will be able to go a few more times then that.
I have also set a goal for myself not to bite my nails for the whole month. I told myself if I don't, I can get a manicure in April. It would be my first one ever. :)
Nate's job is going well. He got a raise, and has the potential to get another one this year. We are very hopeful. He's also all set to start school in the Summer. We are both anxious for him to earn his degree so we can hopefully be able to have a better life financially.
That is about it! Nothing much else to report. So, Happy Spring to you all! :)
