BYU single Adult Stake Morningside

Often times when doing a Fireside, I do not think to bring my Camera.......So, I have made a conscious effort to remember My Camera from here on out. It's been nearly five years that I have been doing firesides, and I want to remember all the wonderful experiences along the way.

 (Sad I didn't think of this sooner)

Thankfully President Doman suggested we take pictures

This Morningside was a bit unique. We (Me and Sarah) were asked to come early 6:45 am to be exact. We were to meet all the single adult sisters in the Gym to help with a service project they were doing. When I arrived and walked into the Gym, my heart was full and I was moved to tears. It was packed! All these single sister were there at 6:45 in the morning to do service. They were not there because they had to be, they were there because they wanted to be!

Happiness in this life, doesn't come about because of the things that we have

but because of the things that we give. It's so important that we give service to others that we increase our focus and see those around us that need to be taken care of and help.

Thank you sisters for your example of faith and service.

Meet Katie

When I first met Katie, she was just fifteen years old. She is now a woman, and an incredible one at that. She is in nursing school, and just married  her dream  boy. I have watched Katie grow into this unbelievable Lady. She loves everyone around her, and she knows exactly what she wants in life. This was not always the case. Katie, like most teenage girls has had her share of heartbreak. I had the opportunity of being Katie's YW leader. Often times she would come over and express her frustration with school, Boys and life. (I don't think any of us would want to be fifteen for sixteen again. YIKES!)  We share so many wonderful memories together, and I am grateful to call her my friend.

Congratulations to you and your Mr.......

XOXO Jodi

 And Every Halloween we catch a ride on the Anderson's train

And every Halloween we eat candy until we get a little sick

    And despite the rain, we had another fantastic Halloween. We laughed until our tummies hurt. Happy Halloween everyone!

Happy 6th Birthday Winnter Grace!

School Days-School Days

Every year when my children start school I get a little lump in my throat. I realize how great an opportunity it is for them to go to school, to grow and learn. I always think to myself, have I taught them enough, will they be ok?……. The greatest desire I have for my children is that they know who they are. I want them to be an unduplicated version of themselves, not a smaller version of me.

I want them to know that their worth can’t be measured by a grade, or their ability to kick a Soccer ball. Ultimately, I want them to understand that they are children of God with Divine attributes and eternal possibilities. 

 I will continue to do my best, to love my children for WHO they are not WHAT I want them to be....

I love you Kam and Winn!
