God's Cake

So once in awhile I read someones blog and it really touches me and I just have to share it with everyone else. This such a thing happened today while I was reading a friends blog. Its funny how just when we think God is not going to answer our prayers it comes in the oddest form. I won't elabarate as to the details but lets just say that this is what I have been looking for. I hope this helps all of you in some way like it did me.

God's Cake

Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation.


A daughter is telling her mother how everything is going wrong in her life. She's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her, and her best friend is moving away.Meanwhile, her mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack and the daughter says "absolutely Mom. I love your cake!"


"Here, have some cooking oil," her mother offers."Yuck!" says the daughter."How about a couple of raw eggs?" "Gross, mom!" "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe some baking soda?""Mom, those are all yucky.

"To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!





"God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!


God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every Spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

When I look at you

Ok so I heard this song today and it totally makes me think about me and my wonderful, never ending and grateful husband. Yes I know that it is a Miley Cyrus song but I never really listened to the lyrics before today. So this is for you babe and since I don't know how to put a song on here or a video I am just going to put the words. I love you so much and I know that I am truly blessed to have you as my life and beyond partner. I could not have gotten a better man to have in my life. You have put up with so much from me and I have not said it enough in our life together but I love you so much and would be lost without you.

When I look at you
By Miley Cyrus

Everybody needs inspiration,
Everybody need a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights so long
Cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy

Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there is no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I, I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you.

When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I am not alone

Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I, I look at you
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I ,I look at you

You appear just like a dream to me
Just like Kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need, Every breath, that I breathe
Dontcha know? your beautiful

Yeah yeah
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home anymore
That's when I, I, I look at you
I look at you

Yeah Yeah
Oh oh
You appear just like a dream to me

My Day

Ok so I have had Isiaha since 11:30 last night and his dad didn't get home from work until 10:45 tonight. Wow that was a long day with him. I love that little boy but he really missed his daddy today. Anyway I had to walk Dj to the Middle School today because Dale worked a double and then I had to walk and pick him up. Man I tell you that is a walk right there. I doesn't seem that bad when I am driving it but to walk it about killed me. Well not really I'm just exaggerating but I don't think I am going to let Dj walk to and from school next year like I thought I was going to. It was tuff trying to get across Memorial Dr. I know a ton of other kids do it but I just don't trust traffic to let him walk it. Anyway I worked out a deal with Jennifer and she is going to take her son Logan and Dj in the morning and I will pick them up in the afternoons.

Anyway it is the final countdown to Girls Camp 2010. I found out today that my Director ( whom I wont mention.....Yeah you know who you are. ) has been out doing Camp things without letting me know so that I can help her. Ummmm that's what I am here for silly woman. Anyway I still love her. We have 5 days until camp. I am ready for it but I'm not so sure my husband is. He always hates when we are apart. I can't blame him I have been doing this for 5 years now and have loved every minute of it. I love the girls and the spirit and all the fun things we get to do while we are there. Plus it doesn't hurt that I am kid free for 5 days. Although I do miss my family I really enjoy the peace. I think I have everything I need other than a cot but I will get that the day of camp. Oh ya and my folder which I still have not gotten back from Ryan who was suppose to bring it by yesterday but did not. Kinda didn't surprise me though. That's just how that crazy woman is. We still love you though. She is a never ending constantly going busy busy busy woman. She needs a break to. Anyway I am done for now so I will stop and say....

Blog at you later.

Short and Sweet

So today I went to DWA and had a great workout. Although I am not 100% better yet I did my best and wore myself out. I was good though and came home and made a nice healthy lunch and then cleaned my house. I then spent the rest of the day relaxing in the house where it was nice and cool while Dale and Elyssa rode their bikes and Dj played with his friends. I then made dinner and went through my Girls Camp tote box and organized everything making sure that I had almost everything I needed for Camp this year. Anyway I am beat so I am going to keep this short and say.......

That's all for now... Blog at you later.

The Newest Book in the Set/ felling better

Feeling better. I am so glad that I am finally feeling better. Last night we rented the movie Alice in Wonderland and watched it at home. It was a great movie. Of course true to nature I had some very interesting dreams last night. Not that I can remember details but I do remember waking up thinking how strange my dreams were. Funny how that happens huh. Anyway, Today we got out of the house and went to Cheatham County to pay our car payment and decided to spend the day there. We drove around and went to a few yard sales and drove past a couple of houses that were for sale. I really want to be back out there. I am still waiting to find out about the dream house I want but my real estate agent still has not gotten back to me about it yet. I know I have to have patients but that is not my strong point when it comes to being out of the city. Anyway I really enjoyed my day out with the kids. Before we went and did that we went and picked up the newest book in the Twilight Saga. Its called The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. I am done with it already. Its not a long book only about 178 pages but it is true to Stephenie Meyer's nature. I couldn't put it down. I loved it. It doesn't have chapters because it is a novella and not a true novel. Either way it is still a great book and wonderful addition to the set. I hope she writes more books. I love the way she pulls you into her little world with little effort. She is a great writer. Plus it doesn't hurt that she is LDS ( for those of you who don't know who she is, all though if you don't you must live under a rock). Anyway we got home at about 3:30 in the afternoon and of course the kids split to go and play while Dale and I enjoyed the nice cool apartment. Later I have to go to the store to pick up a few things for dinner but then its back to the house for early bed cause I have church tomorrow.

That's all for now. Blog at you later.

Coming to the end...I hope

Well it seems that my sickness is taking longer than I want it to to get over. I was hoping that I would be well enough to at least go to the gym today but no such luck. I have been going to bed pretty early and waking up later so my body must really need this rest...It knows what coming in a few weeks...lol. I woke up this morning feeling better but still not 100%. Have I mentioned that I hate being sick. Yeah it sucks big time. I wanted to get two weeks of hardcore workouts in before camp this year but I will have to have one. Maybe I can hit it double time and really get ready for camp this year. Its no surprise but I always loose a little weight at camp every year just because I never stop going. I seems to be a non stop fest from Tuesday morning until Saturday afternoon. Don't get me wrong I love camp and my girls and I really love the weight loss but I really think I am done after this year. I am just plain wore out. Five years of this is enough for now. I need time to regroup myself. I hate to say it but its true. Sometime you just have to give in and say that's it for me Im done. Da-ta-da-da. Im done. This has been a great ride and chapter in my life. Maybe next year I can just be the paperwork girl and not have to stress about all the other stuff that comes along with being the Assistant Camp Director. Ok wait how did I get on this subject...I thought I was talking about being sick and how much I hate it and low and behold I end up on girls camp again. See I just can't get it off my mind. Wow I think I have gone crazy. Ok well before I completely loose it I think I will end here and go to bed.

Countdown to Girls Camp / Dj in summer school

So as to tradition I have once again gotten sick. Yes so it seems that this happens every year around this time. I stress about camp and don't exercise enough and find all kinds of excuses not to do the things that I know are going to keep me well and low and behold I get sick. I never fails. I thought for sure I had strep throat because I always get it but Dale said he didn't see anything on my tonsils so I am thinking now it is just a sinus infection, which is by far better than strep but it still hurts and I don't want to do anything. I am just trying to relax and take it easy so that this will go away fast. I think I have hit bottom as far as how sick I am because I can't talk. So it can only go up from here right, right. Well on to more happier topics.

It is the count down to Girls Camp 2010. We have 11 days until camp. This year our theme is Twinkling Stars. Our ward has picked Leo as our constellation. I think it is great. From what I understand our camp shirts this year are beautiful. All shades of the blue sky. I can't wait to finally see them. The girls seem to be very excited about camp this year so that gives me great hope that this will be a wonderful year. Lets just hope Mother Nature co-operates with us. No repeats of last year.

Oh ya I started Dj on this Summer program at the middle school this year. He will be doing reading and math and the plus side of this is that when the school year starts in August he will be able to be a guild to help the students around school. I think it will be great for him plus it gives him a little boost to help with the subjects next year. He had his first day today and seemed to be ok with it. He is only at the school from 8:30 to 11:30 so its not like being in regular school. We shall see how it all goes.

Well I am just about out of energy so I am going to go for now. Blog at you later.
