I found $20 this morning under all my papers on my kitchen counter. You can't beat that to start a morning!!! Zumba, shower!!! I looove my phone because it has my scriptures on it so I can just read that AND not have to go downstairs to read my scriptures on my side table. This morning I went to see my orthodontist to get my third and LAST aligner-FOR NOW anyway. I HOOOPE I don't need anymore treatment but I might after I see my dentist.

Next year I'm using my flexible spending account to get lasik. I'll do it in SLC some Friday, have my brother take me there and pick me up then hang out with my mother before heading back to the Dairyland. I think I'm SLC deprived. I haven't been there since Thanksgiving. I know it's still early but I'd like to get a lasik estimate from the Moran Eye Center at the U. My coworker Stacey said her husband had lasik done here which was great and they used $2500 from flex-spending and had to come up with an additional 1000 they make payments on which are interest-free.

I trust the Moran Eye Center more AND their quotes are 1500-3000. It's possible I could complete the procedure WITHIN my flex-spending. This Saturday is going to be my free day. Our intellectual freedom committee is meeting at my favorite Indian restaurant in Sandy called Taste of Punjab!!! YES it WAS my suggestion BUT I know they're going to love it!!!

I looove that I found money this morning!!!

Mosiah 13

Immediately Abinidi is called mad. So I feel like I'm in good company. Although no one's called me crazy to my face I feel like they would if given a chance. I need to go home and get my food as in my shakes and rice/pork mixture. I was too worried about makiing it on time for my orthodontist appointment so I failed to pack my food.

If I just zip home it shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. ANNOYING!!!

At the beginning of the chapter King Noah and his evil priests seek to kill Abinidi. He warns them that until he tells them what he needs to tell them they won't be able to touch him. He them proceeds to recite the 10 commandments, talks about the law of Moses and begins to testify of the divinity of the Savior and the gift of his atonement.

He also lets them know how they treat him will foretell how they will meet their own demise.

Be Valiant in Courage, Strength and Activity-Bishop Gary E. Stevenson-Presiding Bishop

Young men, I promise the Lord will empower you. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power.”7 He will reward you for your courage and righteous behavior—with happiness and joy. Such courage will be a byproduct of your faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, your prayers, and your obedience to commandments.


I like this statement. It is easier to be valiant when you are older because you truly don't care about what anyone else thinks. Yeah it hasn't actually been hard for me ever. As I get older some things that seemed fine before don't anymore but nothing major. I like the power thing. Everything affects our personal power. The more refined we are spiritually, physically,  intellectually and socially, the more power we have to bless the lives of others and to serve our father in  heaven.
That is where happiness comes. ACTUALLY it comes from our family. This is easy for me to get because I love my family very much and I am close to them. I think I had to move away from them for me to see more clearly that I need to develop my own family. I can only do so much BUT there is a lot I can do. Anytime I attend an activity AND actively participate I am showing my father in heaven that this is important to me. That I am willing to do whatever he requires of me EVEN and ESPECIALLY when it isn't exactly my first choice for how to spend my time.

I did the zip home and now I need to warm up my food in the microwave. I didn't get any piano books to practice with. I'm going to check out Logan library during lunchtime.While I'm not going to take piano anymore from Jen I am going to learn on my own EVERY DAY. If I just spend 1/2 hour every day I will still progress. Skating's taught me that. I still really love that I sucked so badly at FHE last week it made me do something about it and work EVERDAY to accomplish something.

Blessings abound. Life is amazing.
