Joys of Haircuts
Wow where to even begin so the other night we went to dinner and a movie with Shay, Ky, Afton, and her man. We were sittin talkin and we got on the subject of how Jaden wants a mullet ya know everyone said that would be so ugly and all that ya know.Then got talkin how i wanted to chop my hair off cause i was sick of it. And so Saturday spur of the moment just chopped it off. And then Sunday we cut Jaden's into a mullet. Gotta love the joys of hair.It'll always grow back. So now we got a short hair and mullet couple!! But let me tell ya were dang sexy!!!:):)And ya know as much as I hate mullets my husband can pull it off. Which i honestly was really surprised cause i didn't know how it would look. But not gonna lie i kinda actually deep down like it. But don't tell him that. hahah

Jaden has had the last couple of days of off work, and we've been able to just hang together and it's just been so fun to be with him and laugh and just have so much fun together. We don't get to just hang that often cause of our busy life's so when we get the chance we love it. I love Jaden to death he's always making me laugh and were always having fun. He's my best friend and i'm so thankful for him and all that he does for me!! I LOVE YOU JADEN!!!:):)
Today I started Dental Assisting school, so far I really like it even though yes it is the first day so it could possibly change but I hope and don't think it will. It's also gonna be a lot of fun cause i'm doin it with my sister and some friends so It's gonna be awesome! I can't wait till i'm done and actually get in the field that I wanna be in and everything ya know. I'm excited to learn new things!

Word's I Live By
Never Regret your decisions in life. Yes we've all made mistakes and we still will. But learning from them and becoming better is what makes a stronger person. Never give up on life just because times get hard. Know that life is a roller coaster were always gonna have our ups and downs, our good times and bad. Just know everything that happens in our lives is for a reason!:):)

Love Missionary Letters
My Grandparents are serving in the South Dakota Mission, I received an e-mail from them last night and it really touched me and hit me hard and just made me stop and think. So I would like to share it with you.
Some serious stuff from Pres Benson: "When obedience ceases to become an irritant and becomes out quest, in that moment, God will endow us with great power". Read in D&C 84:33-39. Does this give us something to live for?
If you like poetry: A Candle
It starts with just a bit of string
Yet dipped and dipped with patient hand
It gathers wax upon the strand
Until complete and snowy white
It gives at last a lovely light.
Life seems so like that bit of string
Each deed we do a simple thing
Yet, day by day, if on life's strand
We work with patient heart and hand
It gathers joy, makes dark days bright
And gives at last a lovely light.
That's enough culture! Some Advice! Get a good education! Learn common sense - it will get you far. When we get through with this life and go to the spirit world we won't take with us any of the money we have earned or any of the things we have accumulated or any of the land we have. The only things we will take with us is the knowledge we have, our families and friends, and the memories and experiences we have had. Hopefully these will be good memories and good experiences. When we get to the other side we will remember all the things we have done in this life, all the things we have done in the pre-exsistance, and anything we do where we are at. In the pre-existance we must have done some good things to have the opportunity of being born in this free land of America, in these the latter days. When we think of all the places and times we could have been born it makes you glad for what you have.
Sometimes we think we have it hard but we don't know what hard is. Try seeing how long you can hold your breath. After about 45 seconds a little air would feel good. After about 60 seconds a little air would feel real good. This gives us an idea of what the people felt like during the dark ages when the gospel was not on the earth. This was hard, these were hard times and it makes it good to have been born on the earth when we were. You can see why during Joseph Smith's younger years people were going around checking all of the churches trying to find one that went along with what they thought. You can see that when Joseph went into the grove of trees that day the Father and the Son appeared to him and had him restore the church back to the earth. You can see why Father in Heaven had the saints keep pushing west and finally end up in the Salt Lake Valley. This was not the best place on earth. In fact, the saints passed up far better places that SLC to live. The Lord, in him wisdom, could see the saints would be far better off to struggle a little to make them stronger and make a good land out of SL valley. This they have done. It seems we are slow to learn that keeping the commandments is the thing to do if we want to be happy.
Hey! We are on a mission, so we have to preach the gospel to somebody, and you are a likely prospect. South Dakota is one of those nice places to live, if you have AC in your house. Sometimes the weather can be nice. Sometimes it can be muggy and hot. When it gets muggy and hot, it can brew up a nasty storm. When it rains here it can put down 2 inches in twenty minutes with the wind howling and a tornado touching down here and there. This happens on a regular basis. Last week it rained about four inches during the night. With all the concrete and pavement there is in a town this size, this is a lot of water. With a river running lazily through town, it makes the river raise about 8 to 10 feet and a lot of flooded basements. Other that this, Sioux Falls is a nice place to live with lots of history and culture. The city was built here because of the falls. The river runs right through town and drops about 100 feet over the falls. Old timers tried to harness the falls and make a place to grind wheat. It didn't work very well because the water in the river was up and down. What is let is a nice park and tourist attraction.
I'm so thankful for missionaries and there dedication and courage to go away from their families for 2 years or even 18 months. I know it's difficult but i'm so thankful for their example to me and my family. I love this gospel with all my heart and I'm so thankful i'm a member of The TRUE Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. I don't know how where I would be without it.:):)
