I'm thinking about planting some seeds....

Our happy relationship :)

                So I thought I should take a turn and do some blogging for the second time in my life, haha :) I just wanted to talk a little about what has made our marriage so happy and enjoyable so far...First off my husband is so affectionate and I absolutally love it!!! It really shows me how much he loves and cares about me. So give your spouse some love and attention today if you have not already! Secondly, we have found how much each of us likes surprises, it could be a special breakfast, a sweet note, a little present, flowers, just any act of service will do. So go do an act of service and see how much more your spouse will love you. Thirdly,  doing things together is the best!!! We love going to movies, playing games, going to the temple, hiking and doing other athletic things or just sitting around and talking to each other. So, go and do something together, it makes you that much stronger as a couple.
                  Those are just a few of the ways that we have found helps build our marriage stronger and makes us so much happier and in love as a couple. I am so blessed to have Jake in my life and I am excited to go through life together side by side :)

2009 Turkey Bowl

I think I'm in over my head. I started planning turkey Bowls three years ago. Last year we had a good turn out of about 100 people. This year looks to be bigger. Maybe.

I'm secretly very excited.

We're thinking of two divisions. Possibly 3 if there are enough girls that wanna play. So far I've heard from 2 that want to. That would make for a small game.

If you wanna play in the Turkey Bowl let me know.

Peace.

I'm a New Uncle...of a Snake!

We all went to my parents house this Saturday to celebrate my mom's birthday. As it turns out, my little brother Josh, bought a 6-foot Boa Constrictor. Why? Ask him. I don't know. The life expectancy of a snake (according to Josh) is 20 years. Therefore, unless he gets bored of the snake and decides to sell it, we've got a snake in the family.

Awful Monsters

My class has been working on 2 Nephi 9 this week. I've always read verse 10 thinking that the awful monsters spoken of are physical death and hell. Through my class discussions, I've come to realize that this death is not physical death because the real sting of death comes from sin. The death that Jacob is talking about (and it's apparent to me now) is spiritual death or alienation from God. Jacob mentions in this chapter that temporal death is just another step in the plan of salvation (v. 6). Just thought I'd share!
