Just a little info...

What Was I Doing 10 Years Ago:
-Wow, I was 16 then. I remember that Sophmore year in High School was not a great experience for me. Towards the begining and middle of the year, I started getting anxiety and panic attacks and could not go to school...it was that bad. I remember going to a doctor to find out what the heck was wrong with me. And then I started to get better! The cure: minty gum. Yep, I know that sounds crazy, but I had to chew minty gum everywhere I went. For some reason it helped calm me down. Funny that to this day, I tend to have minty gum available in my car, purse, rooms, work, etc...never leave home without it!

5 Things I Would Do With A Million Dollars:
1. I'd buy me a modest home. Not a mansion, more like a cute cottage. I would also completely love to remodel it and make it my own.
2. I'd pay off my parents cars, home, and any credit cards.
3. Buy my grandma a maid service.
4. Help my sister Natalie with a nice sized downpayment on her soon-to-be house.
5. Travel, travel, travel

5 Things that made me laugh this week:
1. Seeing a picture of my cute niece as a co-pilot of a Blackhawk Helicopter. The grin on her face is hillarious.
2. Re-watching clips of Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin.
3. Hanging out with my family friend Iris Hubsmith. She's freakin' funny!
4. Making fun of stupid single men with some good friends of mine.
5. My sisters, Mark (bro-in-law), Natalie, and Abrielle made this crack-a-lackin movie called the Krew IV. Now my family can get pretty wacky and we have "produced" 3 other Krew movies. Basically it's us lipsynching to our favorite movies. You know those movies that you get your favorite one-liners from? That's us! And this movie includes my niece, Abrielle, who mind you, is only 7 months old. You can imagine....

Busy Sunday!

Yesterday was quite the busy day for me. After Relief Soceity, I had to meet with Brother Hendricks, 2nd counselor in my bishopric. I knew that I would most likely be released from my Sunday School calling (12 & 13 year olds). And sure enough, that's the main reason I had to meet with him. So unfortunately my last lesson will be next week. I was really sad that they didn't let me stay in till the end of the year, because I've had these 13 kids in my class since the begining of the year and I consider them "my kids."

After releasing me from Sunday School, Brother Hendricks then proceeded to ask me if I would speak next sunday. Of course, release me from the calling I love, and then asking me to speak-how rude. I actually do like to speak. I especially love the preparation it takes.

Right after that meeting, the Stake YW's presidency had a training meeting with President Robbins (2nd counselor in my stake). He's such a great teacher/mentor and I throughly enjoy listening and learning from him. That meeting went on for about 2 1/2 hours. After that, I was able to go home for about an hour which I was grateful for since it was fast sunday and I was starving after a full day of meetings! I got to lay down for about 15 minutes before I had to get dressed again and go to my first Temple Prep class which I was anticipating the whole day.

After my training meeting, I had this overwhelming feeling of how inadequate I am. I just felt like I don't know enough, I don't study enough, I don't know if I'm worthy enough. All of these things kept running through my head. After going to Temple Prep with my awesome neighbors, the Burninghams, I brought that up. Am I reading my scriptures regularly, and I praying enough in order to enter the Temple. Ann Burningham brought up a good point to me: she said that if we weren't worthy to enter the Temple, the Bishop would not have allowed me to go to these classes, I wouldn't have had the intense desire to go. It reassured me that I'm not perfect and neither are the people that attend the Temple.


Lately I've been having these feelings of "I'm not good enough let alone, worthy enough." I sure it's just a natural human feeling that everyone has to experience every now and then. It just seems like everything is changing around me and I can't stop thinking about that. I also need to get a grip and realize that Satan does and will continue to do that to me. Life-it happens!
