My Generation...

So I have been seeing commercials for the past little while for a new show that would be coming out this fall called My Generation... I thought it looked kinda interesting and couldn't wait to see if it was as interesting as the commercials made it out to be. On the day it premiered I ended up having my activity and was a little sad to have to miss it. I was finally able to watch it tonight and it really got me thinking.

My Generation is a show about a group of kids who graduated in 2000. A documentary film crew had interviewed them during their senior year and now ten years later they are going back and seeing how life has gone for them in the last ten years.

It kinda took me back to senior year of high school. I was just like these kids.... I "knew" what I wanted to do with my life and I had all these grand ideas of how my life would be... Obviously I was wrong back then. Nothing has turned out how I thought, however I wouldn't ever take back the experiences I have had!

Home is Where Your Story Begins...

So I gave my first real lesson at a Relief Society activity tonight... I have been planning this activity for months and finally it came around... I was really hoping to take some pictures of the event but things didn't quite go how I thought they would... The activity was supposed to start at 6:30 but ended up not starting until after 7... I know... standard mormon time... Dinner went really well. We provided ham and rolls and then asked the sisters to bring family favorites, either a side dish or dessert. We ended up with all kinds of good food. The plan was to go something like this... (we were told to make it no more than an hour) Dinner was to begin at 6:30 and then once the sisters were getting done with dinner they were to compare their 4 generation pedigree charts (this came at the insistence of the Relief Society President, even though it had very little to do with the topic)... We would then begin the program by having a guest speaker talk about her experiences with writing her own personal history along with writing family members. She was to talk for about 15 minutes. After she got done we were going to have an activity that was going to be a getting to know you activity as well as answering questions about your life and then to close I was supposed to get up and talk for about 10-15 minutes about writing family histories...

The night ended up looking like this: Dinner finally started sometime after 7... Around 7:25 the counselor came up to me and told me that we needed to hurry and get the program started because for some reason or another we needed up be done by 8... The guest speaker ended up getting started around 7:35 and talked until 7:50ish... I looked at the time and decided to skip the activity and spend a few minutes talking about different ideas. I rushed through my lesson and we ended at like 7:56... Not too bad. I felt really nervous and felt I could have done better but was told I did a great job, so I guess I will have to accept the opinion of others... Since I wasn't able to go through my whole lesson, I figured I would post it here so if you really want to read it you are welcome to...

From the beginning, keeping and using sacred records have been important to the people of God. In Adam's time, God commanded men to keep a “book of remembrance”. The prophets since the time of Adam have kept records as commanded by God.

This history of the dealings of God with his people and the experiences they had constitutes our present scripture. It is nothing more or less than sacred family history.

While most of us are not asked to record the history of God's dealings with the people of our time, we have been encouraged to record our own history. It is especially important that we record God's dealings with us personally. The records we keep in our families can help build the faith and testimony of our descendants.

In a message that President Kimball gave to the youth it states, “ On a number of occasions I have encouraged the Saints to keep personal journals and family records. I renew that admonition. We may think there is little of interest or importance in what we personally say or do- but it is remarkable how many of our families, as we pass on down the line, are interested in all that we do and all that we say.

Any Latter day Saint family that has searched genealogical and historical records has fervently wished its ancestors had kept better and more complete records. On the other hand, some families possess some spiritual treasures because ancestors have recorded the events surrounding their conversion to the gospel and other happenings of interest, including many miraculous blessings and spiritual experiences. People often use the excuse that their lives are uneventful and nobody would be interested in what they have done. But I promise you that if you will keep your journal and records, they will indeed be a source of great inspiration to your families, to your children, your grandchildren and others, on through the generations. Each of us is important to those who are near and dear to us- and as our posterity read of our life's experiences, they, too, will come to know and love us. And in that glorious day when our families are together in the eternities, we will already be acquainted.”

Your story should be written now while it is fresh and while the true details are available. Your journal should contain your true self rather than a picture of you when you are “made up” for a public performance. Your journal is your autobiography. You are unique and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life.

What could you do better for your children and your children's children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved? Some of what you write may be humdrum dates and places but there will also be rich passages that will be quoted by your posterity.

I know that this may seem like a lot of work to do. I know that personally I have a really hard time sitting down and actually writing in a journal. However I have found other ways to get my story written down.

A few examples are:

• Scrapbooking

• Blogging

• Life Histories

• Oral Histories

• Using data bases to create more than just data.

I will start will the data. Since starting my genealogy I have been using PAF to enter all my data in. I have found many different views that you can print your stuff out in. Recently I bought a MAC and PAF isn't compatible with it. I bought a new program and have been playing around with it. Some of the things I can print off are:

• marriage lists

• lists of persons

• Birthdays

• Events

• Places

• Narrative

• Kinship Reports

• fan charts

• Relationship Charts

• Ancestor charts

• Genograms

• family group sheets

• person report

Scrapbooking is an excellent way to tell your life story. Pictures do an amazing job at recording events that have happened in your life.

Another way to preserve your family's history is by either writing or finding life histories. I have a couple binders full of histories that I have found that relatives have written. I love being able to go to the binders and read about my ancestor's lives.

Another way to preserve your history is through oral histories. This semester I am taking a family history class on campus. Our main assignment for the class is to conduct an oral history on a family member. I am really excited to do this! I have chosen to do one on my mom so that I can ask her questions about her life and record her answers.

One night for family home evening my siblings decided to interview my dad. My dad was always a big storyteller and we wanted to always remember his stories. This interview was soon forgotten. A few years later my dad unexpectedly passed away... this interview was found and it has meant the world to my family. We are able to watch my dad and listen to his stories when ever we want. I have a list of questions I have gotten from a past family history class I took if anyone is interested.

The final way I want to talk about is blogging. Back in 2007 I found out all about the world of blogging. I instantly fell in love with it and love writing about the events that occur in my life. Recently I found a way to get my blog published into a book. I now have a goal that at the very end of every year to publish each year's entries. This way my future family will have “my journal”.

I am so grateful for all the many ways we have been given to record the events in our lives. I am also extremely grateful for those who have gone before me that have listened to the counsel given by prophets to keep a record of their lives. Through this I am able to get to know my ancestor's on a whole new level.

I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Letters to Juliet...

Back in August I went with my sister Cori, her friend Adriane and a friend of mine to Movies 8 and saw Letters to Juliet. I fell in love with the movie and couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD. You better believe that the day it finally came out I went and got it. I had Whit watch it with me as soon as she had some free time and got her to see why I love the movie so much. Toward the end of the movie Claire reads the letter that Sophie sent her regarding love. This really hit me... Her words have really got me thinking...

Dear Claire, What and if are two words as non threatening as words can be, but put them together side by side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life.... What if... What if... What if... I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like. A love to leave loved ones for a love to cross oceans for, but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it that I'd have the courage to seize it. And Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will. All my love, Juliet

This is the kind of love that I am searching for... I want a love that is true and I would do anything for. It may be the romantic in me but I won't stop searching until I find this love. The end of the first paragraph also really hit me... "What if..." I know that the past is the past and we really shouldn't dwell on it... but sometimes I get to wondering... for instance... What if... I would have gone to homecoming junior year with a certain boy, other than the "boyfriend" I had at the time... Would life have turned out different? Some days I would like to imagine they would have. Not that I am complaining because the life I have lived has been full of important lessons for me. Sometimes I just find myself wondering...

30 Days to Get to Know Me: Day 21

Today's Topic: Plans/dreams/goals you have...

So over the summer while I was taking my 7 Habits class one of the things I had to do was come up with a bucket list... I started making it really big and cute so that I could hang it on my door... but I never got around to finishing it... Typical me... Anyway, there are so many things that I want to accomplish in my life. I think this is one reason I have a hard time settling down and focusing on just one thing. What one thing do I want to spend my life completely focused on? I am hoping I have finally picked it right... Library Science seems like a great way to go. Most of the time I would rather spend my time with my nose in a book than putting up with the garbage that comes my way in real life. In books I can fall in love with all the amazing men... In real life I wonder where all the amazing men went... Are there even any good single ones left? It is starting to look like they are all taken. I am starting to believe books are the way for me to go! ;)

Over the summer I came up with a bucket list that looks like this:

• Fall in love
• Get married
• Experience childbirth
• Kiss passionately in the rain
• Read all of James Patterson's books
• Visit Boston
• Attend a Red Sox game
• Meet the Jonas Brothers
• Learn to decorate cakes
• Learn to sew
• Learn to quilt
• Learn to play the piano
• Become a pro at photography
• Create a family tree
• Write my personal history
• Be happy with my life
• Forgive Sean
• Step out of my comfort zone
• Meet someone famous
• Travel the World
• Publish a book
• Visit Whitney in Australia
• Visit every temple in the US
• Help Ry with his illness
• Keep my blog going
• Design my own house
• Witness a miracle
• Own 2000 or more DVDs
• Have my own library
• Go rock climbing
• Start a business
• Ride the Sky Coaster
• Go on a cruise
• Become a millionaire
• Donate my organs
• Write love letters
• Inspire someone
• Start a "good deeds" tradition
• Make someone's dreams come true
• Be a "groupie" for a summer...

This is what I had for my class... I have a few more things I want to add...

• Graduate from grad school with straight A's
• Travel to San Jose and attend graduation
• Read all books written by Nicholas Sparks
• Read all books written by Anita Stansfield
• Read all books written by Rachel Ann Nunes

I will keep adding to this list as more things come up that I want to do... As of right now, these are my goals and dreams for life...

Date Night...

I know I am being bias when I say this but I have the cutest little kids in the world... Okay so they really aren't mine but most days I would gladly claim them as my own children. I am so in love with them! We are always having all kinds of adventures when we are together. So a few nights ago I sent my brother a text and asked his permission to take his son out on a date. I informed him of what the main part of the date consisted of and I got him to agree! I was so super excited to go on a date with Ry... Friday came and Ammon and Lacey dropped the kids off at the house for us to watch them while they were at work. When Whitney found out about me taking Ry out she insisted that she joined in and I let her... however she quickly decided that Ry was her date. Lilly was given permission to come with us for a little bit but she had been feeling sick and Ammon didn't want her outside. Our first stop was Red Lobster... Ry loves that place. He gets super excited to walk in and see the lobsters... He is always telling us that lobsters say **pinch, pinch**... It is adorable when he says it. Whit and I decided to invite my mom to join us since we all love shrimp and the shrimp fest was going on. We ordered our all you can eat shrimp and it was SUPER yummy! While we were waiting for our food to come, the waitress came by to fill my water up.... Lilly looked at her and said, "I want my dinner!" I couldn't help myself... I started really laughing. The waitress thought she was super cute. Once the food got there Ry looked at Whit's shrimp and asked her if she was eating cow legs... Oh the things you hear come out of little kids mouths! Ry ended up eating a lot of Whit's shrimp... What can I say... he has really good taste! After dinner we took the kids to Nickel City. They had so much fun playing the games... After we got done with our nickels we took grandma and Lilly home and took Ry to the Provo High football game. We decided not to pay to go in but to stay outside the fence and watch because I figured we probably wouldn't be there long... Ry chowed down on the candy he won from Nickel City and had fun watching football for a while. Eventually he couldn't handle anymore and started acting like a big baby... What do you expect from a 4 year old? We took him back to his dad (probably all sugared up) and our date ended. I am going to say that this has been the best date I have been on in ages... maybe ever! I can't wait for my next date with my Ry boy!

The Traveler's Gift

A few weeks ago I was having a really bad day. I had been at work trying to get my things done, got done with that and went to class. While sitting in class I got a message from a really good friend who informed me that one of the employees was undermining my authority in front of others at work. It really didn't bother me that he thought the things he did but what really bothered me is that he said the things to others in the office. I got really frustrated and ended up going home and breaking down and crying and crying. After getting this out I felt a little better. The next night I was having a conversation with my friend Brady and told him the story and he told me that I shouldn't let things like this make me cry. I tried convincing him that once I got done crying I felt so much better. He then told me that I really needed to read a book called "The Traveler's Gift" by Andy Andrews. I thought, oh man, not another book to add to my list... but decided to give it a try. I checked it out at the library the next day and then on Sunday I read the book. I was amazed at how inspiring the book was. I had to get paper and write down all the quotes that really hit me.

The book is about a man who has given his life to work. He ends up being laid off from his job and ends up finding a job that is so much below his qualifications. While working at this new job he gets a phone call from his wife informing him that his daughter is really sick and is going to need to have surgery. His new boss gets upset at him for being on the phone and fires him. He is devastated! He ends up going for a drive and then is in a serious car accident. He goes into a coma and while he is out he meets 7 different famous people who each have a message for him...

The people he meets are:

1. Harry Truman

2. King Solomon

3. Joshua Chamberlain

4. Columbus

5. Anne Frank

6. Abraham Lincoln

7. Gabriel

Here are the quotes from the book that really hit me:

- For centuries, dreams have been used to communicate instruction and direction to people of purpose- great men and women. (pg. 22)

- He believes in you. (pg. 22)

- The ultimate outcome of anyone's life is a matter of personal choice. (pg. 25)

- You are where you are because of your thinking. Your thinking dictates your decisions. Decisions are choices. (pg. 27)

- Until a person takes responsibility for where he is, there is no basis for moving on. The bad news is that the past was in your hands, but the good news is that the future, my friend, is also in your hands. (pg. 28)

- The first decision for success: THE BUCK STOPS HERE. (pg. 32)

- From this moment forward, I will accept responsibility for my past. I understand that the beginning of wisdom is to accept the responsibility for my own problems and that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free myself to move into a bigger, brighter future of my own choosing. (pg. 32)

- I will look forward. I will not let my history control my destiny. I am responsible for my success. (pg. 32)

- Today I will begin the process of changing where I am by changing the way I think. (pgs. 32-33)

- My thoughts will be constructive, never destructive. My mind will live in the solutions of the future. It will not swell in the problems of the past. I will seek the association of those who are working and striving to bring about positive changes in the world. (pg. 33)

- When faced with the opportunity to make a decision, I will make one. I understand that God did not put in me the ability to always make right decisions. He did, however, put in me the ability to make a decision and then make it right. When I make a decision, I will stand behind it. My energy will go into making the decision. I will waste none on second thoughts. My life will not be an apology. It will be a statement. (pg. 33)

-Challenges are gifts, opportunities to learn. Problems are the common thread running through the lives of great men and women. In times of adversity, I will not have a problem to deal with; I will have a choice to make. My thoughts will be clear. I will make the right choice. Adversity is preparation for greatness. I will accept this preparation. Why me? Why not me? I will be prepared for something great! (pgs. 33-34)

- Jehovah moves mountains to create the opportunity of His choosing. It is up to you to be ready to move yourself. (pg. 42)

- Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few. (pg. 43)

- The past will never change, but you can change the future by changing your actions today. It is really a very simple process. We, as humans, are always in a process of change. Therefore, we might as well guide the direction in which we change. (pg. 44)

-We are always and forever influenced by those with whom we associate... Many of our sorrows can be traced to relationships with the wrong people. (pg. 45)

- Guard your associations carefully. Anytime you tolerate mediocrity in your choice of companions, you become more comfortable with mediocrity in your own life. (pg. 45)

- Find a wise man, a person who has accomplished what you wish for in your own life, and listen closely to his words. There is safety in counsel. (pg. 46)

- A leader much encourage others to struggle and assure them that the struggles are worthwhile. Do battle with the challenges of your present and you will unlock the prizes of your future. (pg. 48)

- The second decision for success: I WILL SEEK WISDOM (pg. 48)

- My past can never be changed, but I can change the future by changing my actions today. (pg. 48)

- No longer will I bombard my mind with materials that feed my doubts and fears. I will read and listen only to what increases my belief in myself and my future. (pg. 49)

- I am an eagle. It is my destiny to fly. (pg. 49)

- He who serves the most, grows the fastest. (pg. 50)

- When I am faced with the choice of doing nothing or doing something, I will always choose to act. I am a person of action. (pg. 67)

- The third decision for success: I AM A PERSON OF ACTION. (pg. 69)

- Beginning today, I will create a new future by creating a new me. No longer will I dwell in a pit of despair, moaning over squandered time and lost opportunity. I can do nothing about the past. My future is immediate. I will grasp it in both hands and carry it with running feet... I seize this moment. I choose now. (pg. 69)

- I will walk with a spring in my step and a smile on my face. (pg. 69)

- Leading is doing. To lead, I must move forward. Many people move out of the way for a person on the run. (pg. 69)

- When faced with a decision, many people say they are waiting for God. But I understand, in most cases, God is waiting for me! (pg. 70)

- Fear no longer has a place in my life. For too long, fear has outweighed my desire to make things better. Never again! I do not fear failure, for in my life, failure is a myth. Failure exists only for the person who quits. I do not quit. (pgs. 70-71)

-If you worry about what other people think of you, then you will have more confidence in their opinion than you have in your own. Poor is the man whose future depends on the opinions and permissions of others. Remember this, if you are afraid of criticism, you will die doing nothing! (pg. 81)

-Passion is the product of the heart. Passion is what helps you when you have a great dream. Passions breeds conviction and turns mediocrity into excellence! Your passion will motivate others to join you in pursuit of your dream. With passion, you will overcome insurmountable obstacles. You will become unstoppable! (pg. 81)

- The fourth decision for success: I HAVE A DECIDED HEART. (pg. 87)

- A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Knowing this to be true, I am taking my first step today. (pg. 87)

- The power to control direction belongs to me. Today I will begin to exercise that power. My course has been charted. My destiny is assured. (pg. 88)

- I will lay my head on my pillow at night happily exhausted, knowing that I have done everything within my power to move the mountains in my path. Yes, I have a dream. It is a great dream, and I will never apologize for it. Neither will I ever let it go, for if I did, my life would be finished. My hopes, my passions, my vision for the future are my very existence. A person without a dream never had a dream come true. (pg. 88)

- What I put off until tomorrow, I will put off until the next day as well. I do not procrastinate. All my problems become smaller when I confront them. (pg. 89)

- First we make choices. Then our choices make us. (pg. 101)

- Today I will choose to be happy! (pg. 102)

- Remember that life itself is a privilege, but to live life to its fullest-- well, that is a choice! (pg. 107)

- The fifth decision for success: TODAY I WILL CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY. (pg. 108)

- I will greet each day with laughter. (pg. 108)

- People are drawn to me because I have laughter in my heart. (pg. 108)

- I will smile at every person I meet. My smile has become my calling card. It is, after all, the most potent weapon I possess. My smile has the strength to forge bonds, break ice and calm storms. I will use my smily constantly. (pg. 109)

- As children, we are afraid of the dark. Now as adults, we are afraid of the light. We are afraid to step out. We are afraid to become more. (pg. 121)

- If you are determined to win, you will have to surround yourself with winners. (pg. 130)

- It is a secret that is hidden in plain sight. It costs nothing and is worth millions. It is available to everyone and used by few. If you harness the power of forgiveness, you will be revered, sought after and wealthy. (pg. 131)

- The unmistakable truth about forgiveness is that it is not a reward that must be earned; forgiveness is a gift to be given. When I give forgiveness, I free my own spirit to release the anger and hatred harbored in my heart. By granting forgiveness, I free my spirit to pursue my future happily and unencumbered by the anchors of my past. And forgiveness, when granted to others, becomes a gift to myself. (pg. 132)

- The sixth decision for success: I WILL GREET THIS DAY WITH A FORGIVING SPIRIT (pg. 138)

- By the simple act of granting forgiveness, I release the demons of the past about which I can do nothing, and I create in myself a new heart, a new beginning. (pg. 138)

- Those who are critical of my goals and dreams simply do not understand the higher purpose to which I have been called. (pg. 139)

- For many years, my greatest enemy has been myself. Every mistake, every miscalculation, every stumble I made has been replayed again and again in my mind. Every broken promise, every day wasted, every goal not reached has compounded the disgust I feel for the lack of achievement if my life... I realize today that it is impossible to fight an enemy living in my head. By forgiving myself, I erase the doubts, fears and frustration that have kept my past in the present. From this day forward, my history will cease to control my destiny. I have forgiven myself. My life has just begun. (pg. 140)

- Reason can only be stretched so far, but faith has no limits. The only limit to your realization of tomorrow is the doubt to which you hold fast today. (pg. 150)

- In the game of life, nothing is less important than the score at halftime. The tragedy of life is not that man loses, but that he almost wins. (pg. 158)

- The seventh decision for success: I WILL PERSIST WITHOUT EXCEPTION. (pg. 165)

- I know the outcome I desire. I hold fast to my dreams. I stay the course. I do not quit. (pg. 165)

- I am stronger than most people. Average people accept exhaustion as a matter of course. I do not. Average people compare themselves with other people. That is why they are average. I compare myself to my potential. I am not average. (pg. 165)

- My light, my harbor, my future is within sight! (pg. 166)

- One decision that you make, can literally change the world. (pg. 181).

Sophomore Football...

I had quite the day today. I woke up this morning with one of the worst migraines I have had in a long time. I took medicine, slept, and everything else I could think of to get rid of it, yet nothing worked. I stayed home from work in the morning but ended up having to go in to get a few things done. While I was in work I was texting Brady and we talked about my head killing me. He told me he would be right over to give me some stuff that would totally work. He is big into the essential oils stuff and I figured I would give it a try. I felt a difference almost right away. Brady is my knight in shining armor (okay.... so he really wasn't wearing shining armor but I can pretend that he was). I finally started feeling better and made it in for my 4 pm class. After class I hurried home so that I could catch a ride to Brady's teams game. The game was at Westlake, which is in Saratoga Springs. My mom's good friend Jaye Lynn has a son on the team and offered me a ride with her and her family. I really wanted to go and support Brady so I accepted pretty quick. The sophomores played a great game and killed the other team! The only complaint I can think of was that it was extremely windy and cold there!

I Got a Feeling...

On Labor Day we had our annual SCERA Shell concert to go to. This year it was KC and the Sunshine band. I didn't know much about them but I think I can remember my dad listening to them. I love going to concerts at the Shell... This time we were told before the concert started that we were not supposed to take pictures during the concert so I was a bit sad but we had some fun taking our girl pictures before hand. I thought the stage looked kinda cool so I got a picture of it right as we were sitting down. I loved how the concert started... The song "I Got a Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas came on and we got going singing away and really getting into the music. Right after that the concert started. I was a bit shocked by the dancers. It basically looked like the dancers were strippers. They had on very little clothing and their dancing was pretty provocative... Very much against the standards of the SCERA, which is a family friendly place. I guess the guy who booked them had no idea what their concerts were like... I swear around the time the concert started it dropped to about freezing (okay so it probably wasn't THAT cold but it was freezing!) We were all cuddled up in our blankets and did not want to move very much. I did feel pretty bad for the dancers who had very little on. Maybe their dancing helped them to stay warm... KC went on for a while about how he was like the Justin Timberlake of our parent's day. That is kinda weird! I hope Justin doesn't end up like this guy! However Whit and I decided that if he ever ended up at the Shell many years down the road we would both come back to see the concert no matter where we lived. Bring on Justin Timberlake! ;)
