The Return of The Savior


Lately I've been thinking about the Last Days. I've always known that we lived in the last days but recently I've been pondering more and more about it. Prophecies of Old are being fulfilled and that means that each day we grow closer to the return of the Savior to the Earth. I am so thankful for the knowledge of the gospel in my life. It is the greatest blessing. As the scriptures say "If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear".

Thankful for Riding Gear








Yesterday we went riding and when I mean riding I dont mean on a track. When we go riding is trail riding. You know in the mountains on a single trail with trees, roots and well obsticles on the way. Also with very steep parts going up and coming down. The going up part is not so bad you just hit the gas and cruise on up. Going down is the hard part. I think of myself as not very coordinated by nature, I feel like I need to do things over and over again in order to get it. Its really hard for me to break with my hand and with my foot at the same time while steering and holding on to the clutch. So we are riding along and go up this hill and come up to this tree just blocking my way so i stop and I go around it but I guess I went a little fast and then kind of was heading the wrong direction, not on the trail but down the hill to the side. At this time is when good coordination would have come in handy but it didnt. I really dont know what I did it was all too fast and the next thing I know Im face planting head on to the ground. Jimmy was just ahead a bit and he saw the whole thing. He came right up. My initial reaction was to be so angry that I crashed and then I was upset I started crying. I know funny.Nothing really happend but a big headache and my heel kind of bruised a little. At this point I was so thankful for riding gear so thankful for the people that invented it. They really saved me from taking a big hit.

Weekend Trip to LA/San Diego










So last weekend we took a trip to Southern California. We really didnt plan it at all, it was all really spontaneous. We found a really good deal flying to Long Beach from San Francisco for $14 each way! We couldnt believe it or pass it up so we bought them on thurdsay and where on a plane at 7:00 am on friday. We arrived at Long Beach airport and we rented a car. When we got there they showed us what we were driving. This small little blue hyundai. Jimmy said that if someone were to ask him to describe the worst car in the world he would describe that one. haha. We got in it and we started driving towards Hollywood. We wanted to get close to the Hollywood sign and so we started driving around until we found this park. Then we started hiking around and we found the best view of it. It was so fun. Then we went to Universal Studios and went on all the rides. My favorite is Jurassic Park. We got wet but it was worth it. We then went downtown LA and to Beverly Hills. By this time we were exhausted so we decided to head to Jimmy's grandma's RV where we were staying. Luckily his grandma let us stay in this RV that her and her husband have at this RV Resort. Which was packed with pools, hot tubs and a golf course. We spend saturday and sunday at the resort. We enjoyed watching coference and fitting in a few games of golf and tennis in between. Which I might add that I am getting pretty good at tennis since I last decided to start playing. I was schooling Jimmy! well sort of.. On monday we went down to San Diego, for my birthday in June I wanted to go to the Body World Exhibit, they show real human bodies and all the anatomy and procesess. And Jimmy was so sweet to take me early. I loved it! It was so fascinating and exiting.I was glad that Jimmy liked it too. After we had a yummy lunch and headed to the beach. It was such a beautiful day. The water was a pretty good temperature.. colder than I like it,but Jimmy jumped right in and body surfed and had fun in the waves. I like to watch from afar. I was scared of those waves. They were HUGE! That is the short version of our small vacation. At the end of each day we were beat. So tired of having fun all day long. Its always nice to get away and specially for cheap!

New Dirtbike







So after Jimmy read my post on "active hobbies" he helped me to get going on one of them. He bought me my own dirtbike! He is so amazing and I love him so much. I am really blessed to have him in my life. He was so exited and just started looking and when I mean looking it was hours and hours of being online looking for a bike for me and he found such a good deal. He is the BEST online shopper I know. We went down to Sacramento to pick it up yesterday. We brought it home and I love it. Today Jimmy took me on a short ride. I hadn't really ridden in so long and it was a bit tough at the beginning to get the hang of it but I am proud to say that I think I did pretty good for a beginner. No big crashes anyway. I hope that I can get better and better as I ride. I am also looking towards being able to spend time together riding, Im sure that I can learn a few tricks from him. Its going to be so fun!

Physically Active Hobbies









So lately Jimmy and I have been talking about how It would be a good idea for me to get a new "active hobby" . Since right now Im not working and just staying home, I've been tryin to keep busy. I've decided to try a few things. One of them is learning how to play tennis. I know I know what everyone is thinking. Everyone that really knows me knows that my hand eye cordination is not that great. But I am happy to say that I feel like I'm getting better! I've only gone twice but I feel like I might have a good future with it. After playing my arm is a little sore and I am super hungry because I burn off all these calories running after the ball like all day long but I cant wait until I get soo good that I can actually rally the ball back and forth and play an actual game. Also I've started running again and thankfully Im over the part where yourlungs and your chest burn. Now I am in the stage where I need to motivate myself to actually do it. So wish me luck. And lastly I am thinking about really learning how to ride a dirtbike. I've done it before and my first encounter with riding resulted on a big crash. But I got back on the next day and completed a full trail! That was summer of 07 so I've had enough time to warm up to it again. I havent ridden since then and who knows when Ill try again but thats some of the hobbies that will help me keep physically active.

So finally I got around posting the pictures of our home. I still need to do some decorating and I'm not really talented in that area but the least I can do is try. This is were I spend most of the day if not all my day. I think its plenty big and for sure keeps me busy. We have an upstairs and a downstairs. Upstairs we have a bedroom a bathroom and a small office. Which we use for our games and computers. Downstairs we have the kitchen living room a small dinning room and an extra bedroom with a king size bed and a full bathroom. So if anyone wants to visit. WE HAVE ROOM FOR YOU!
