So tonight is one of those nights where I just want to write...

Here is the funny thing about me blogging. It is like a weird way for me to make wishes. Now, here me out on this. You know how if you were ever to get stranded on an island, what would you do after all else fails? You would write a message in a bottle of course! Knowing full well that no one may ever receive it, but hey if you tried everything else out, what can it hurt right? It is like maybe if I just express myself and send it out into the cyber world something will happen. And something does happen, I feel better. haha So that is why I choose to write. It is one of the few times I ever really actually WANT to write. ha 

I have come to realize that I know nothing.
I know, it took me awhile folks, but I got there. I truly do not know anything about, well, just about everything. ha 
I have found that I look at the world and work so hard to make sense out of other people's actions and their motives. I try so hard to understand. I try so hard to make some sense out of it all, but in the end the only sense I ever make is nonsense. 




But I have come to understand even more that the only one who ever makes any sort of sense is the Lord. I have come to realize how much I truly just need to rely on Him always. Cause honestly, I have no clue what I am doing down here. I basically am no better than a chicken running around with its head cut off. ha I am not saying that I shouldn't try to understand things or try hard to figure things out. I definitely do and I will always try, but the process to understanding goes much smoother when you involve God. 
In this crazy always changing world, He is the only constant in my life. And that I do know. And oh my, oh my am I grateful for it. God is unchanging. His doctrine is the same. His message is the same, to come unto Him. The Atonement of Christ is always there for me.

                        Everyone needs some stability in this life because life is crazy. :)

Lake Powell...

So, Lake Powell was amazing!!! I loved being on the lake and doing something that I love. I also got to get to know a lot of people in my HUGE ward here! Which was a definite plus.

It rained a lot while we were there. Almost everyday for like maybe an hour, but man! We had some beautiful rainbows because of it!

This is the Houseboat I was lucky to stay on. It was three stories and really nice! It was a good houseboat to be on for my first time ever stepping foot on one. The Hancock's, Brother Hancock serves in the bishopric, were so nice to open it up to our ward.

Just some of the views we had from the houseboat.

When we were not out on a boat or a jet ski we had fun going off the slides and jumping off from the top, just doing random tricks and what not.

This is my beautiful and wonderful roommate, Kristen, just chilling in the water. 

Some people thought we were a little ridiculous because we were super excited to be at Lake Powell... Ok, so we almost cried at the sight of the Lake, but hey, it is Lake Powell so I feel justified.

OVERALL: The trip was a success! I am so glad I got to go to Lake Powell!

Sidenote!!!

Jackson lost his first tooth! It was while I was off at Lake Powell, but I babysat him when I got back and he told me all about it and how the tooth fairy came to visit him :)

He was a happy boy and I was an ecstatic                aunt!
