LOVE

Since being called into the Young Women's Presidency a couple weeks ago, I have had the privilege to study the new curriculum called Come Follow Me. Its truly inspired and I feel like a missionary again, teaching by the Spirit from Preach My Gospel , the basic principles of the gospel. Its so wonderful! We have recently been learning about the Plan of Salvation. How we lived with God before we came to this earth, why we came to earth, the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and where we will go after this life on earth. I came across this quote and really appreciated how it expressed our Heavenly Father's motive for the grand plan.

After I worked this morning, I holla'd at my Honey BooBoo to tell him I was on my way home. I asked him if we could go see the movie Safe Haven. Being the amazing man that he is, he said, "Sure" without any groans. So he got online and started looking up the times. He mentioned Warm Bodies and I said, "Lets go see that instead. I know you will enjoy it much better and I did want to see it too. I have already read Safe Haven the book, so its no big deal."  He agreed on that. Don't you love a compromise? I am grateful for a super hubby who deals with me when I am just not feeling as "compromisy". (Like last week when I wanted to go pick up some free carpet that a lady was getting rid of, since our floors are wood in the family room and with dogs its not as fun to clean up their estranged hairs, and tile in the bedroom where its cold when you hop out of the shower and try to get ready.) Anyways, we really enjoyed the movie. With us its like date night every night. But even though its just the two of us and you can always find us renting a Redbox and staying up late, we really love to get out and have a "real date".  This movie was really cute! We had a large Cherry Pepsi and sour patch on hand, and two Nathan's hot dogs I snuck in from Sams club. We enjoyed our movie and our treats a lot. thanks Honey BooBoo for a great date!

Amazing Race

We love this show! We're pretty excited for a new season. We walk through the scenarios the people on the show are going through, as if we were actually there, its like our way to bond on the show without actually being on it, nothing wrong with imaginative play! Maybe it's because we've always wanted to explore and travel around, but have always been in school and haven't ever had the money to pick up and go. I don't ever think we will really ever travel the world, but there are some places that we would like to go- like the very first leg of the race, Bora Bora! I've always wanted to go to French Polynesia! Maybe someday.

Our current picks for the winner-

Mine: John & Jessica, the Roller Derby Moms, and the YouTube friends.

Evs picks: the Hockey players, Father & Son,  and the Country Singers.

The last team to check in MAY be ELIMINATED!

Happy Valentines Day!

I love my Valentine. He is the very best. Full of unconditional love all the time not just February 14th and I am so blessed! He is my everything! We kept things pretty low key around here this year since it was a long day for both of us. We ordered a pizza and enjoyed what we had left of our "Valentines Day". 

XOXO

The Year of the Snake

I told Evan one day I want to actually be in China for the New Year. It think it would be awesome! For now we will celebrate it in every non-Asian location we live in. Let the Asian culture live on in our family!

We will enjoy our Lucky candy!!

A blessing

Autism found me in Florida. I applied for a job doing Behavior Therapy what seems like over a month ago. Along with many other jobs I applied for, I just waited. I actually forgot that I had applied. During my prayers one day, in my trusting voice I told Heavenly Father, "If you are waiting for me to be finished coaching soccer for the season, and then a job will pop up, I understand and I will be patient, I just hope that is the reason for the delay in finding a job." Well soccer season ended. And the very next day I got a call for an interview. I guess I got my answer. Soccer is very therapeutic for me. And coaching is even more rewarding. I am glad I caught onto Heavenly Fathers plan. I was hired the day I was interviewed and started immediately that Monday. It had been about 6 months since I had done therapy with any kiddo. I suppose its like riding a bike. My client is 11 years old. He is non-verbal and non-hearing (has some residual hearing). I have had to step up my ASL and try to help him learn the correct signs too. We are a cooky pair trying to figure each other out. I love his laugh. It is so contagious. I truly believe spirits like his are sent to earth for a great purpose. He is such a sweet kid. I cant imagine what it is like for him to not be able to communicate his wants and needs. I hope that I cant make his life and his parents life better. I know Heavenly Father is on my side. I am grateful that Autism found me in Florida. I have a great service to give and much to learn.
