Lost and found

Well, I've been a total slacker.  You know how you miss doing something for one day or one week and you continuously keep putting it off until you just don't do it period??  That's me and this blog!

I do have good intentions...promise!

I've kind of had a hard time since we got back from Oregon.  This is totally me ever since...



It only took less than 1 week for me to completely fall in love with it.  There is just something so special about it.  I could have sat on the deck of our beach house for hours( I didn't...but could have)...listening to the water and waves crashing to the shore.  As I previously mentioned, there was the coast almost everywhere we traveled.  It's a view that I just couldn't get sick of.  I'm kind of "homesick" for it...I have to say.  If I could go back...I'd probably spend the majority time at the beach.  Just hanging out on the sand, reading a book, and enjoying the water.  One day...I hope.


I'm taking a break from the whole "mission moments"...as I wanted to share something else with you all.  As we traveled to Oregon...I felt so "in tune" with the earth.  Does that make me sound crazy?  Probably.  I guess because when you go away, and most of the stresses of life are behind you...you can really just focus on what surrounds you.  I noticed nature more than I probably ever have.  This earth is beautiful, and there are so many hidden treasures that I personally have not paid attention to. I have used the excuse that life is too busy to be grateful/notice the small beauties around me.  I want to try and slow down and notice the earth around us.  I may not have an ocean view 24/7 in Alberta(trust me I teased about painting an ocean mural on our windows so I have a constant ocean view haha), but there are other beauties I'm going to try and explore.  I am grateful for the earth we have and for the time that was taken to create it...by our Heavenly Father and brother.  

Have a stupendous Sabbath,

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta

Six Months...

By -
I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that on the
