Love This

"Mortality is a period of testing, a time to prove ourselves worthy to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father. In order to be tested, we must sometimes face challenges and difficulties. At times there appears to be no light at the tunnel's end—no dawn to break the night's darkness. We feel surrounded by the pain of broken hearts, the disappointment of shattered dreams, and the despair of vanished hopes. We join in uttering the biblical plea 'Is there no balm in Gilead?' (Jeremiah 8:22). We are inclined to view our own personal misfortunes through the distorted prism of pessimism. We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. If you find yourself in such a situation, I plead with you to turn to our Heavenly Father in faith. He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face."

Thomas S. Monson, "Looking Back and Moving Forward," Ensign, May 2008

Sweet Dreams at The W Hotel in Scottsdale







Last Week I had the opportunity to attend a Charity Event called Sweet Dreams : Suns Nite Hoops at the W Hotel. It was an amazing night .... thank you to my friend Angela for getting us in!

It was worth going to see Tim Hightower of the Arizona Cardinals who has the most amazing butt ever! : )

Labor Day Weekend In Cali.....

Dinner followed by Ice Cream

I had 2 friends running the Disney Half Marathon about an hour north of where we were staying and thought it would be fun to go run it with them. So we went to bed the night before around midnight and had to be up by 3:45 to get on the road. Here is our pre-race photo....

We DID it! Way to go Rach on your first half! Check out those heavy duty medals...!

My friend Tracie also finished her first half with her sister in law Karey! Ladies you did awesome! Love you both and I am so proud of you!

Fire on the beach! Amazing Smores !

Monday we spent a few more hours on the beach before having to head back to Phoenix. It gets harder and harder to go back every time I come to California! Maybe it's a sign????

Last but not least..... Oh Yes..... had to get my Pinkberry fix! Gets better and better every time I have it!

I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! THANKS TO MEG AND ROB FOR BEING SUCH GRACIOUS HOSTS AND SHARING THEIR PLACE WITH US!
