Good luck Elder Palmer! See you in 2!

House Mini Golf!

2010-01-24T22:53:00.007-07:00

Last night me and my roomies had a mini golf date (inside)! ha It was a GREAT course... Obstacles and everything.

It was a TON of fun! Losers had to do snow angels in the ...somewhat snow that there was... (me and my partner... BOOOO)!

We played games after like Ninja and Snort, and then watched She's The Man... (HILARIOUS movie by the way if you haven't seen it).

It was a BLAST, we had So much fun! Here are some pics!

It is truly humbling to feel of His great love!!! I am SO grateful for His atonement and for the trials that he places in our path for us to be humbled and turn to Him, for He is the only way, and the ONLY thing that will be there when everything else might not be. I Love my Savior with ALL of my heart and am SO grateful for His atonement and the mercy He gives!!

Life As I Know It

2009-11-09T13:25:00.010-07:00

SO,

I haven't blogged in a really long time... Yes, I am aware I am bad at it. ;) But I do enjoy it, so I am going to try and catch you up on the last couple months of my life.

1. In August school started up again and has been going well. However, I must admit that I have a HUGE case of SeNiOr-iTiS...and a mild case of self diagnosed A.D.D. ! UGH! But I will be graduating in the spring and it will be here before I know it! TIME IS FLYING!!!! Literally!... is that possible? Because I think it is.

2. The second week of school I got the SWINE FLU!

Yes... I was a Swiney for a while.

I was miserable considering I have never been sick in my life... I have never experienced the flu, strep, bronchitis... nothing. The most I have ever had is a little cold that lasts for a day or two. I was out for the count for about a week and a half... IN BED (at least my bed got some lovin) ... missing every day of school, weights, and practice!

TALK ABOUT DRIVE ME CRAZY!!!!

Thankfully, though, none of my roommates or family got sick. :)

And I am now immune from the SwineNasty :)

As for all of you that are still shakin in your boots.......

** A Red Mango a day keeps the Swine Flu away! **

3. The team this year is AWESOME and I am having SO much fun! Team chemistry is a complete turn around from last year! We went on a team camping trip in September up Big Cottonwood Canyon and it was great fun! We played some games with each other around the fire, got to know each other better... some a little too well ;) haha, and roasted marshmallows for smores and Starbursts (YUMM) , and went on a hike to Donut Falls in the morning. It was beautiful. It was a fun trip and we really enjoyed each other!

SENIORS

4. At the end of July, a new guy came into my life... He is AMAZING and I hope he stays in it for a VERY long time!

Wishing.. and Hoping... and crossin my fingers and heart that he does :)

BUT, I guess we will see what happens! :)

However, in the meantime we are having a great time together.

We went to the KEITH URBAN concert in September!

WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!

THAT'S RIGHT...

Be SOOOOO Jealous! Because it was AMAZING! :)

Here are some pics of the concert and just of us! :)

5. In October my PEGASUS team had a tournament in Huntington Beach, California. So, we went down there for a weekend. We got some beach time in and went to Disneyland and ESPN zone. It was fun and the girls did great! I am proud of them! :)

This food was SOOOOOO scrumptious!!!!

He Will Not Forsake Us

2009-10-20T10:22:00.005-07:00

"Sometimes in the eternity to come we will see that our trials were calculated to cause us to turn to our Heavenly Father for strength and support. Any affliction or suffering we are called upon to bear may be directed to give us experience, refinement, and perfection."

"It isn't as bad as we sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us! If we put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." -President Hinckley

DENVER

2009-07-19T13:34:00.007-07:00

Through the 4th of July, my Pegasus team played in a tournament all week in Denver. It was fun. We took something like twenty-somethin place out of 300 teams. Despite ALL the ball games all week we found some time to go tubing down a white water river and go to the Rockies game on the 4th! :)

Just before the fireworks!

SUMMER HAPPENINGS

2009-07-19T12:59:00.003-07:00

SO... I have been kind of a slacker blogging this summer. However, I have been keeping busy. To avoid a huge, unnecessary paragraph I will list the things I have been doing this summer in smaller paragraphs...(which aren't many because as you know.. my life generally consists of the same things.. all revolving around softball)! :)

1. I am taking summer classes. (That's right.. no break for the summer :-/) I am doing this because my major is 5 semesters and so in order to graduate at the end of my senior year (Spring 2010) I need to get a semester in this summer. I am taking Introduction to Coaching, Kinesiology, Global Citizens, and Fitness For Life. Ha Ha.

2. I am coaching a team called Utah Pegasus. We are 16 U team and I am really enjoying it. They are a great group of girls and I am learning a lot by coaching them. We are a really good team! We play in a Tuesday night league at SLCC and play tournaments not quite every weekend, but close. We just recently took 2nd in the state tournament.

3. When I am not coaching my team I am teaching lessons, which takes up the majority of my time. But it's good cuz it pays the bills and I LOVE doing it! :)

4. I am still living in Salt Lake in a house in Sugar House, but in August I am moving into a new condo just south of I-80 with 3 new roommates! I am excited for a new living adventure! :)

SENIOR DAY

2009-06-04T13:33:00.006-07:00

Well the school year is over... FINALLY??? ... or... ALREADY??? A little bit of both. Glad to have it over, but yet it went SO unbelievably fast this year! We ended our year with a game against New Mexico at home, therefore it was also Senior Tribute Day. We decorated their lockers and had a "toast" before the game. We made these awesome scrapbooks for all of them where we all made our own pages and wrote letters to them of memories and why they are so fantastic :). After our game we had a big LUAU at Staci's house with all the families! The food was AMAZING and entertainment of the night was big SUMO wrestling suits! The party sure was a blast, but also where we all had to say our goodbyes... some for only a few months, and some for ever. I think the end came so fast it shocked us all! I don't know how ready we all were for the end and for the goodbyes. But never-the-less it came. It was definitely a bitter sweet day.

I can't believe it's my turn next year.

We will all miss and love you SENIORS!

I MISS HAWAI'I

2009-03-21T23:59:00.004-07:00

Hawai'i was AMAZING! We played 5 games and went 2-3. Wasn't a great softball ride, but we had a blast! (Needless to say; it's Hawai'i)!

We were a little sad to come home and pretty everyone was FRIED! But it was well worth it! LOVED the sun! And I think our very favorite parts about the trip was the Beach and the absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS Matsumoto Shaved Ices! Mmmm.

HAWAI'I

2009-03-09T10:20:00.003-07:00

This last weekend in Texas was definitely our funnest weekend together yet! We had a blast and are starting to bring all the puzzle pieces together! It was a lot of fun all around but with this week's Hawai'i trip it definitely won't be hard to match! We got back last night at 1 am from Texas and Leave tomorrow morning for Hawai'i for the week! I can't resist, I just have to rub in that when you will be back here in the cold, snowy weather in Utah, I will be soaking up every ray of the sun, and more, on Oahu!

ALOHA everyone! :)

CHECK OUT OUR SWEEEET BEACH HOUSE WE ARE STAYING IN HAWAI'I!

WELL... The softball season has been underway for 3 weeks now and boy has it been the fastest 3 weeks of my life and is not about to slow down any time soon! We had an inconsistent opening weekend in St. George with some good games and some bad ones. However, The next weekend in Las Vegas was great as we came away 4-1 for the weekend. This week in practice we practiced hard to get ready for University of Arizona (which if you don't know is one of the very top teams in the country and has won many, many national championships). However, we did not show up and play our game this weekend when we got there and came away from the weekend going 0-5! OUCH! Yes, big ouwie! Never the less we grew from it and are enjoying our time together as a team in the van, bus, and plane rides and the hotel rooms. This weekend we have top teams again, including UCLA and hope to come to the field letting the Bruins know who the UTES are!!! GO UTES!

Here are some pics of some of the fun we are having!

New Years Snowmobiling

2009-01-25T19:16:00.007-07:00

This New Year's annual snowmobiling trip was in Bear Lake!
It was FUN! This year we just had a small crew; Us, Steadman's and Droubay's (We were missing all the Woolley's :( ) Never the less, there were still plenty of people to go around. It was not very good weather, as it blizzarded every day we went up to the mountains which made it difficult to see and ended our days short. However, the Highlight of the trip was the UTES win over BAMA!!! GO UTES!!!

OH and how can I forget our minor set back on the way up! Trip to the Ford dealership in Bountiful.

TEMPLE SQUARE!

2008-12-11T12:46:00.003-07:00

Last night a group of us went to Temple Square, walked around and enjoyed the lights as well as each other! We went to see the Joseph Smith movie after. Very moving. He was an amazing man, to be able to stay so strong through all of that! WOW! But most of all Emma!!! What an amazing woman! What amount of faith she had to have just from Joseph's word! Losing 5 children, and watching Joseph be tarred and feathered, moving from place to place... going through all of that, based on Joseph's word! Incredible amount of faith.
The temple was gorgeous of course. Every time I visit the temple it NEVER ceases to amaze me of its incredibility and its beauty! Every time I look at it, and go inside my heart grows for it more and more each time! There is NO doubt that when the pioneers built that temple that the Hand of God was in EVERY step of it. It is SO AMAZING!!!
There is a quote in the Joseph Smith movie that really stood out to me. It was while some of the persecutions that were going on towards Joseph and Joseph was wondering what to do, and Hyrum said something to Joseph that really struck me... He said, "Whatever happens, the Lord is in it."
Meaning that as long as we are doing what we are supposed to be doing, and following the Lord in all that we do, then everything WILL BE OK, IT WILL! And there is no need to fear because we are in the Hands of God!!! And he will take care of us! :)

2008-12-11T12:37:00.003-07:00

This Last Sunday I had 4 tickets to The First Presidency Devotional and so I took some of my friends! It was fun! Afterwards we had some WELL bonding time sittin in the bottom level of the parking for 2 hours without moving a single inch. It was funny to watch the way people chose to entertain themselves during the wait. Lol.

GIRLS NIGHT!!

2008-12-11T12:25:00.005-07:00

I Love our Girls' Nights! This month we went to Macaroni Grill! We were missing a few this month(Shayla and Alaina...& Stace of course because she lives in St. George) and even though we missed them it was still SO good to get together with everyone again! Every month, it NEVER gets old! :)

2008-12-11T11:19:00.007-07:00

Thanksgiving was SO much fun!!!!

This year was Thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family! And yes, we had thanksgiving in a church... again. (Don't think we'll ever be back in a house... unless someone buys a mansion.) We had LOTS of food... numm! Lunch/Dinner was at 1:30 and we played volleyball, basketball and cards all day till 10:30! All the kids had a BIG blow up bouncy jump/slide thing to play on! It was AWESOME!!

After all the scrumptious food me and some of my aunts and cousins went black friday shopping... AAAH! We have been doing it every year for a couple years now but this year was exceptional because we shopped from midnight until 12:30 the next day!!! Wow! I don't know how we did it. We were practically sleep walking! But, nevertheless it was fun. And the sleep thereafter was amazing! I slept for 21 hours!!!! 1:30 in the afternoon until 10:30 the next morning!

It was great! But next year, I vote for a lil shorter trip. :)

2008-11-23T23:16:00.002-07:00

TODAY WAS A PERFECT DAY!!! :)
I LOVE MY HEAVENLY FATHER!

And I got a calling today to be on the Service Committee! :) I am very excited! It is exactly the calling I need! I don't know how I am going to have time, but I will.

Blessings.

2008-11-22T12:47:00.009-07:00

Last night I went to a life changing play. It was called "A Mighty Change of Heart" put on by the Stansbury Park Stake. It was the story of Alma and Abinadi and it was AMAZING. I felt the spirit SO strong throughout the entire thing. Needless to say, I balled the whole time. But I will be forever grateful for Brother Winters and everyone that put all their time into making this production. It was 2 years of work for them but if they knew how big of an impact it had on my life and so many others I know they would do it again in a heartbeat. It was one of the greatest things I have ever experienced in my life. I was touched so incredibly much by it. I can't be grateful enough that I went. It made me realize again so many things that I already knew, but in a new and different light. I am so grateful for that opportunity I had to go. It strengthened my testimony so much. It was definitely a tender mercy from the Lord. He is so great! His plan is so perfect! I wonder if I lived back then if I would have followed Abinadi? If I would have the courage to do what Abinadi did? Or if I would have followed King Noah and given into the ways of the world? It raises a lot of questions, but one thing I do know is that I can have that Faith right now, in today's world. And that even if I don't make a difference to anyone in my life but ONE person, then it is all worth it. It will make a difference; Just like Abinadi and Alma. I am so grateful for my Savior and that because of him I can return to him forever and be able to go to the temple & be with my family for eternity. I don't know where I would be with out my Family. Just yesterday, the high school coach of my summer team I coach got killed in a car accident. It hit me really hard. I feel for those girls and his daughter that I played with. It really set me back. Things like that can happen to any one of us, at any moment. I don't ever know what I would do if my Dad ever died. He means so much to me. It would be probably the hardest thing I would have to go through. But it is comforting to know that we can be with our family forever! FOREVER! We have that promise!! The Savior went through all He did so that I could be with my family for eternity. He makes it possible! Because he loves us SO much.. he loves ME so much! It is a lot to grasp. I am sure I don't even realize how much he loves me, but of what I DO feel... It overwhelms me. I am So blessed.
I want to say that I love you to all of my family and friends. You are in my life for a reason, and I thank you for everything that you have done. Even if it has been just a kind word or two, it has made a difference. And I hope that in some way I can make an impact in someone else's life like you have in mine.

Well folks... I gave in. And yes, I know I'm not married, and I feel really weird having a blog about myself but I found out I have a lot of family on here,as well as friends. So I will post info about my softball so family can stay updated and hear my version of the stories (vs. my dad's emails) :)
