A time for new things...

It was time for a new hair cut. I cut off 4 inches in the front and 5 in the back. I was so scared, but I think I actually like it! Hurray!

Tyler also insisted on me learning how to golf. I was a little bit hesitant at first, but I got into it. Plus look how pretty this course is. The sunset was incredible.

One of my favorite parts of golfing was driving the cart!
Look at my form. HAHA! I am still learning, but I did hit a few good balls.

Happiness

This week was testimony meeting in church and since I am way to scared to share my testimony in church I thought I would post here.

I love this church. I am so happy when I am doing what is right. Each morning this past week I have prayed that I could have a smile on my face throughout the day. This simple act has made me so much happier. I find myself doing little things for Tyler and not yelling at my tennis kids quite as much :) Through these simple services I have noticed that a smile goes a long way and the people around me are a lot happier.

The Lord wants us to be happy. He wants us to succeed and share our love with others. This past year I have learned so much patience. I have learned to accept the Lords will in the Lords time. But accepting His will is not enough, we need to learn to accept His will and be happy about it. Now I know this is not an easy thing to do, but it is possible. No matter what trial we are given we can learn to be happy. What greater happiness can we have than a knowledge that we have a Heavenly Father who love us and knows what we need.

As I have been learning this lesson this past year I have also gained a testimony of family. What a blessing we are given to have family to be there for us. When I feel weak I know I can always turn to my family. Tyler is especially strong when I feel weak. He amplifies Christ by always listening to me and just holding me when I cry. He always seems to know what I need. His love and understanding has helped me to gain such a better relationship with my Father in Heaven.

Trials are and always will be a part of my life. Some may be harder than others, but I know with faith I can endure anything. I am learning that while I am enduring that I need to enjoy all aspects of the ride and learn to be happy. Through faith and patience all things are possible!!!
