Did you ever think

Dear Chase

      Did you ever think that you would deep clean you apt, share a salad for dinner and have a 100 calorie skinny cow for dessert?

(we got the skinny cows as a special "treat" at the grocery store because I was mistaken, I thought a good treat was purchasing vitamin waters)

Love, Elizabeth Rosemarie

Pizza Dreams

Hokay.... So I have had some serious pizza dreams the last few nights.

Some are now getting fuzzy so I'll be brief

I had a dream  I was a Pokemon trainer...IT WAS AWESOME
when I woke up I told Chase

He said "Aw Liz 10 year old boys have dreams about Pokemon too!"

spsh it wasn't just about Pokemon, I was a Pokemon trainer! and a good one.  Not to mention I had saved a large group of innocent citizens from unavoidable doom.

Last night I had a dream about Justin Bieber...

This is shameful to admit.  In fact its against my better judgement to share this on my blog. aka the internet. aka a place anyone can see.

BUT...

I had a dream he kissed me.... The rest of my dream I was close to a meltdown because IM MARRIED.
I did wake up a little bit upset.  But come one it was JUSTIN BIEBER!
Chase forgave me.  but I don't know if we will be rockin out to JB anytime soon.

Am I a bad person? FYI I would never kiss even Justin Bieber if I had the chance.

YIKES. anyways

peace out cubscouts

Advice from Elder Busche

I love this part of his BYU devotional from May 1996!(its called Unleashing the Dormant Spirit) You can listen to it on youtube just search advice Elder Busche.
PLEASE READ THIS 
Or look it up:)


It helps when, from time to time, we ponder and seek identification with the following thoughts:

* Embrace this day with an enthusiastic welcome, no matter how it looks. The covenant with God to which you are true enables you to become enlightened by him, and nothing is impossible for you.

* When you are physically sick, tired, or in despair, steer your thoughts away from yourself and direct them, in gratitude and love, toward God.

* In your life there have to be challenges. They will either bring you closer to God and therefore make you stronger, or they can destroy you. But you make the decision of which road you take.

* First and foremost, you are a spirit child of God. If you neglect to feed your spirit, you will reap unhappiness. Don't permit anything to detract you from this awareness.

* You cannot communicate with God unless you have first sacrificed your self-oriented natural man and have brought yourself into the lower levels of meekness, to become acceptable for the Light of Christ.

* Put all frustrations, hurt feelings, and grumblings into the perspective of your eternal hope. Light will flow into your soul.

* Pause to ponder the suffering Christ felt in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the awareness of the depth of gratitude for him, you appreciate every opportunity to show your love for him by diligently serving in his Church.

* God knows that you are not perfect. As you suffer about your imperfections, he will give you comfort and suggestions of where to improve.

* God knows better than you what you need. He always attempts to speak to you. Listen, and follow the uncomfortable suggestions that he makes to us--everything will fall into its place.

* Avoid any fear like your worst enemy, but magnify your fear about the consequences of sin.

* When you cannot love someone, look into that person's eyes long enough to find the hidden rudiments of the child of God in him.

* Never judge anyone. When you accept this, you will be freed. In the case of your own children or subordinates, where you have the responsibility to judge, help them to become their own judges.

* If someone hurts you so much that your feelings seem to choke you, forgive and you will be free again.

* Avoid at all cost any pessimistic, negative, or criticizing thoughts. If you cannot cut them out, they will do you harm. On the road toward salvation, let questions arise but never doubts. If something is wrong, God will give you clarity but never doubts.

* Avoid rush and haste and uncontrolled words. Divine light develops in places of peace and quiet. Be aware of that as you enter places of worship.

* Be not so much concerned about what you do, but do what you do with all your heart, might, and strength. In thoroughness is satisfaction.

* You want to be good and to do good. That is commendable. But the greatest achievement that can be reached in our lives is to be under the complete influence of the Holy Ghost. Then he will teach us what is really good and necessary to do.

* The pain of sacrifice lasts only one moment. It is the fear of the pain of sacrifice that makes you hesitate to do it.

* Be grateful for every opportunity to serve. It helps you more than those you serve.

* And finally, when you are compelled to give up something or when things that are dear to you are withdrawn from you, know that this is your lesson to be learned right now. But know also that, as you are learning this lesson, God wants to give you something better.


I love this. I hope you do too:)

Dear Diary

Why am I irrational at times?

I am married to a perfect gentleman, my knight in shining armor, my Prince Charming!

but somehow...sometimes... my ability to be logical fails me... COMPLETELY.

want an example?

Chase despite his perfection every now and then leaves his socks on the floor

lets think about this.  This boy is going to school earning an education so that he can support me! he busts his cute little bum and always seems to be in a hurry.  Who cares if he takes off his socks after a long day and forgets them on the ground now and then.

welp, one morning Chase was in the shower and seeing his socks on the ground I became enraged.

what did I do? what did I think was reasonable?

I marched into the kitchen, grabbed a large bowl, filled it with cold water, marched right into the bathroom, crawled up on the toilet and dumped the cold water on my handsome man.

What did he do?

He looked at me and asked "Why did you do that?" of course with a sincere look of complete innocence (His face is so cute)

my heart melted and had nothing to say.

I am at times irrational.  Luckily Chase still loves me.
