Why is it that women get super excited about new jewelry? I am not a huge jewelry wearer, but I must admit...I got awfully giddy when I opened my blue box!!

Goodbye!!
I sold my baby today, my 2005 Honda Accord is no longer a part of the family. Todd and I took her in, and sold her off. She was a great car, a fun car, a loving car, and a great friend. She could listen like nobody's business, and was always there!! I thought she would be in my life forever, but what can you do? We had no need for three cars. Even in her moving on, she has brought Todd and I joy. Thanks to my sweet pea, we can now pay off the truck and school loans!! Thanks Miss Honda, you were great!

A look into my life...
This is why I love my husband. I was reading Miss Mia's recent post and came across this necklace that I LOVE!!!
I emailed the link to my loving husband, hinting that I thought it was pretty. I let him know it was pink, which I never wear, and since he loves me in pink I would really be compromising with him, but I am willing to take the hit. As long as he is happy, I too can be happy.
This is the email I get back from him...
Do you ladies see what I live with? Although he thought he was smart and outwitting me, I quickly regrouped. I searched the web and found these 3 pictures.
I let him know I found the perfect solution. Apparently, pearl necklaces were ok by Sister Hinckley, Siter Beck (General Relief Society President), and Sister Lant (General Primary President). Therefore here is a link to a strand of pearls. Notice the price difference? I have yet to hear back from him..we will have to see what he decides.

Brittany,
You do look very pretty in pink, but I want to protect you from harm. Please read the scriptures below...
2 Nephi 13: 16-24
16 Moreover, the Lord saith: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet—
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments, and cauls, and round tires like the moon;
19 The chains and the bracelets, and the mufflers;
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings;
21 The rings, and nose jewels;
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins;
23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and hoods, and the veils.
24 And it shall come to pass, instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle, a rent; and instead of well set hair, baldness; and instead of a stomacher, a girding of sackcloth; burning instead of beauty.
I want to keep you safe because I love you, although your pink necklace is very pretty, I would rather have you smell sweet. Love you!!

Im excited!!
I have done it! I made pickles this afternoon and I am super excited. As most of you know, pickles are hands down my absolute favorite treat. I can eat a jar of pickles in hours with no problem. My friend down the street had a few too many pickling cucumbers and thought I might enjoy. So, I picked up the cucumbers and set off to make pickles. It was surprisingly easy and fast. I have to let them sit and stew for 4-6 weeks before eating, but I will let you know how they turn out!!

August Newsletter
It was Todd's turn to write up the Bishopric Message this month, so here it is...
Brothers and Sisters, we are taught that when filled with the love of God, we are not content with blessing just our families. We will have a desire to bless the lives of our neighbors, friends, co-workers and all of our Heavenly Father's children. As sons and daughters of God we have a special obligation to love and care for others, especially those in need. It is through service, good works and simple acts of kindness that we express love to one another and fulfill this special obligation.
Opportunities for service to others are limitless. Kind words and deeds can lift burdens and gladden hearts.
President Spencer W. Kimball said, service to others deepens and sweetens this life while we are preparing to live in a better world. It is by serving that we learn how to serve. When we are engaged in the service of our fellowmen, not only do our deeds assist them, but we put our own problems in a fresher perspective. When we concern ourselves more with others, there is less time to be concerned with ourselves! In the midst of the miracle of service, there is the promise of Jesus that by losing our selves, we find ourselves!
Not only do we find ourselves in terms of acknowledging divine guidance in our lives, but the more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls. Indeed, it is easier to find ourselves because there is so much more of us to find.
Brothers and Sisters, we encourage you enjoy in the act of service, if you haven't already done so, gain a personal testimony of the importance in serving others. Let's bring forth God's love through this great work, lets bring forth this love in our homes, communities, work places and churches. Let us loose our selves in service and good works. Let our hearts expand, let them be enlarged towards others.
As we are taught in Mosiah 2:17 – When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God. It is our Testimony that God's love can be felt not only by those who receive , but also by those who truly offer simple acts of service.

Ouch
I am having a hard time typing, so this is going to be short. Monday while making zucchini bread, regular bread, and jelly I had an accident. I singed three of my fingers on my left hand, and sustained 2nd degree burns. Luckily, Maegan was here and able to help me get to my neighbors house, and get taken care of. It is two days later and I am healing nicely!! Hopefully I will be back to normal soon and be able to resume my daily events, until then I will be restricted to one hand projects!!
Thanks Maegan for helping me out!! Here is a pic that kinda gives you an idea of what it looks like. This was yesterday, so keep in mind I have done some wonderful/miraculous healing. Also its hard to take a pic of fingers that are glazed with ointment.
