I was thinking about writing a journal entry that would share information about me. I decided to blog it instead because I type so much faster than I write. So this is about me:
*I love to drive in the rain! Something about the water washing over the windshield while I'm protected inside with the heater going makes me feel grateful. When I think about how cold it would've been for pioneers to ride a horse in the rain to get where they needed to go, I feel lucky to be born in this wonderful age!
*I feel the Lord's love through fruit trees and vegetable gardening. Is that weird? I feel such gratitude that the Lord would put trees and plants on the Earth that bring forth such bounty. I'm amazed at how plants grow and produce food. Love it!
*I'm a procrastinator. I wish it wasn't the case and I try hard to change but if I have a big project, I tend to put things off. Especially if it involves calling people to ask them for a favor.
*I love food! Cheesecake, sushi, orange juice, chicken wings. All.Good.Things.
*I'm fiercely loyal to my husband. Outside of church, I avoid men I know from the ward because I don't want to build any sort of chummy relationship with a man that's not Merril. There's an amazing optometrist in our ward but I won't be seeing him any time soon because I can't be in a dark room with another man so close to my face. Not gonna happen.
*I love water. Soda burns my throat and makes me so thirsty! I don't know how anyone drinks a lot of soda. It's just not my thing.
*I love traveling! I haven't been anywhere lately but I yearn to walk the streets in other countries. I have a goal to visit all 7 continents before I die. So far I've been Australia, Europe and North America. I have serious desires to see Egypt, China, Russia, Mayan Central America, Japan, Thailand, well, the list could go on and on.
*I wear a ponytail most days because I don't like the feeling of hair on my face. Also because I have stuff to do and I don't want my hair in the way. I wear it down on Sundays and dates.
*I'm a saver, not a spender. Merril tends to be the spender. However, we both love getting the best deal possible for what we want. He just finds a lot of deals. I mainly spend on things like case lots sales. ;) I really dislike paying more than I have to.
*I fell in love with my babies instantly. From the moment they placed that slimy newborn on my tummy, I felt an overwhelming sensation of joy and love! I love being a mother. I'm not saying it's not hard, because it is. Motherhood has also brought me so much happiness! Nursing and cuddling my babies is one of the sweetest experiences of my life.
*I feel the Lord guides my life for good. There are always times when we feel like life is kicking us in the teeth, but no matter what, I can still feel the Lord's love and everything always turns out for the best. I am grateful for this knowledge!!
Ok, that's good for now.

You have such a beautiful testimony. I'm so glad you decided to share it on your blog. One thing I have always admired about you is your determination and ability to always be positive. I remember years ago when we were both newlyweds how you gushed over Merril. You never put him down in front of me and I love that about you. You are amazing!
