My New Toy

I have been saving up for a while for a craft cutter machine and finally had enough so I bought a Silhouette. I love it! It is kind of like a cricut except it is hooked up to your computer and you can design projects on the computer and download die cuts off the online store. You can also cut fabric and heat transfer paper. I have not done much with it yet mostly just figuring out what it can do, but here are a few cards I have made with some downloaded die cuts. I am going to have fun making cards designing scrapbook pages, customizing clothes, making decorations etc, once i figure out how to do it all :).

Also here are some card I made at a card party I had with some friends in my ward, my design is the pink one with the presents.

Better Late then Never :)

Here are pictures from my Birthday, the flowers were from my Dad, the card and candy bar from the Relief Society and of course Curt made the cake (chocolate whip cream and strawberries yum). But the main present is the Kinetic that I got from Curt. It is so fun!!

For Valentines Curt made a fish and veggie Dinner. Curt likes to arrange the food like he is preparing food on Iron Chief. He is so Cute :). I got Curt the only type of dog we can have in our apartment right now (Curt really wants a dog) and Curt got me Anastasia.

This past weekend we went to Angie's, a local restaurant and "Cleaned the Sink" with our friends the Kjars, or in other wonders ate a lot ice cream out of a little sink. We got a bumper sticker for finishing it all, but it wont be going on my car.

Just the Same

Just the Same

By Diana Lynn Lacey

Sometimes—
God sends rain
Straight from the sky
To nourish the young flower
and it grows.
Sometimes—
God sends rain from the sky
To the mountaintops,
Then over hills and through valleys
Until it reaches the flower
and it grows, just the same.
Sometimes—
God sends a child
Straight from His realm
Into a mother’s arms
and love grows.
Sometimes—
God sends a child
From heaven to another’s arms,
Then over hills and through valleys
Until he reaches the arms of his mother
and love grows, just the same.

I really love this poem. It helps me remember how much the Lord really does love me.
My children may not come the normal way but I have faith that the Lord will still bless me with children, my children just have to take a longer path to get to my arms.
