St. George

Todd and I had the wonderful opportunity last weekend to head down to St. George!! We always love heading down there but this time it was super exciting! Todd's uncle and aunt were taking out their endowments and being sealed in the St. George temple!! It was a wonderful experience and we are so glad we got to go!! Congrats Jeff and Marie!!!
Jeff, Marie, Grandma Wallace, handsome Todd, and Me!!

My first purse!!

For about a month I have been working on making a purse! It has been a really fun project and I have enjoyed the process from start to finish. However, about a week ago I hit a sewers block and I could not go any further. I did not understand the wording or how to go about putting the final touches on the purse. Luckily my Mom came into town this last weekend, and I put her to work. She helped me finish the project, and now I am able to sport a brand new fun purse. I used the scraps from some of my quilts, and I am pleasantly surprised at my newest creation...

Jeffs Big Day!!

Well the time has come, yet another little sibling of mine is off in the BIG world!! Jeff (my hilarious and ever so sweet 18 year old brother) came out with my Mom this past weekend so we could drop him off at school. BYU has taken another Suppes child, Jeff is a freshman this year and so far is loving it. We had fun dropping him off and making sure he was set for the semester. Reluctantly he allowed Mom and I to buy him things of color, to help bring his dark and dreary college dorm to life (every 18 year old college guys dream right?!?)

Todd and I wishing Jeff good luck...

It was a bit emotional for me and I had a hard time letting him go. Jeff is one in a million and deserves the best of the best. I wish him the best of luck and cant wait to hear about all the fun adventures he is having. I love you little brother!!!

Nephews are the best!!

A week or so ago I had the chance to head down with Todd to work, and spend the day in Salt Lake with my lovely sister-in-law and her sweet boys!! We went to the dinasour musem at Thanksgiving point. It was a lot of fun, and the boys are adorable.

Dylan is in blue and Nathan is in orange!! I love these little guys!!!

Breaking Dawn!!!

Well last night was one of those nights where you are semi-embarrassed but extremely excited, so you just don't care!! Around 11:00 PM my good friend Tisha came by and picked me up and we went to Walmart! Why you ask? Easy answer...the new Twilight book came out!! We went to our local Walmart and 'borrowed' camping chairs and sat in line for an hour!
Then we were ushered in and recieved our new book!! It was wonderful! I can not wait to read this thing!
**By the way I look confused and dazed because my bed time is at 9, and I was not all the way awake. I am wearing cut off shorts and Todd's shirt, shouldn't that have rang some warning bells?!! Also, I would like to dedicate this post to my sweet Mom, I wish you could have been here and we could have stood in line together!!

Spiritual Three Minutes

Parley's reminder...

I started reading this book maybe 2 months ago, but it wasn't until these past few weeks that I really go into it. This man and his family are amazing. They went through so much and didn't complain or doubt their path. They are truly people of faith.

Parley was incarcerated for 8 consecutive months, and at one point was only fed 'mormon flesh' (flesh from his fellow saints that were murdered within his community). He knew the Lord would bless him so he choose not to eat for those few weeks. His captures only gave him coffee in the morning, and he was supposed to survive. He was close friends with the Prophet Joseph and Brigham Young. He was a pioneer and a man of faith. Even when he had fever of the brain, he would continue to preach and serve a mission. His wives were strong women, they were left in charge of the home as he was called to serve multiple missions for years at a time.

I think in todays time we get too caught up in what we cant do. We have way too many excuses and let too many things sly. We feel too busy or so caught up in our own things, that we don't take time to do the things we were put here to do. Our Relief Society president has a saying.. BUSY means Bound Under Satan's Yolk. How true that is.

After reading this book I have been motivated, and I am excited for all the new tasks and adventures I am going to do. I am going to heed to the prophets warning, and start seriously planting a garden and fruit trees. I am going to get my house in order. I am going to become the scriptorian that my Papa was. I am going to focus on family genealogy like my Grammy. I am going to be a better Visiting teacher and Young Womens leader. I am going to be a better wife. These are my goals and because I know the blessings and gifts that come with living in this time, I know I can do it!!! Thanks Parley and all the early saints that reminded me who I was meant to be!
