Hello everyone. So I kind of introduced myself in the about me section of my blog but I thought I would give a bit more background. I was born a raised in the lovely city of Pocatello Idaho in a loving and sometimes nutty family. I am the oldest of two. I have a younger sister who I absolutely adore. She is currently studying cosmetology. My mom has always been a stay at home mom who made her family her top priority. She has had many jobs that she could do, working from the home to keep her busy as we grew up. My dad worked for Idaho Power for almost as long as I could remember. He passed away in August of 2009 the week before my senior year of high school. He now watches us from Heaven. We have had so many pets throughout my childhood. Right now we have our dog, Ebony. He knows all my secrets and is the best listener when he isn't trying to eat your food or distract you with his toys. There is also Gizmo the furry chinchilla. He loves his treats and roaming around anywhere that is not his cage. That's just my immediate family, then I have my many aunts, uncles, grandparents, and we can't forget the cousins! My cousins are like extra siblings. We grew up together and they make my life interesting and complete. We are a family of nuts and monkeys that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world! My family has made me who I am today.

Here is a message about marriage from a talk I found at LDS.org that I absolutely love. This is a great talk that I would encourage everyone to read.http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2003/04/eternal-marriage?lang=eng&query=marriage,+f.+burton+howard Eternal Marriage: a talk by F. Burton Howard
"If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by."
