Life is beautiful

Do you ever just sit back, relax and think, Wow--things aren't too bad right now. My trainer on my mission told me that once you get comfortable things change. And I'm sure they will. But for right now, in this moment I just feel blessed.

My husband is almost here.
My family is so great and supportive.
I have a wonderful calling and love my primary class so much.
My friends have been wonderful support.
Things are not perfect and they won't ever be.
But for right now, in this moment, life is good.

Let the countdown begin...

August 4th is the day of Pablo's final interview in Santiago! WOOT-WOOT! I have waited not so patiently to hear about this since I sent off his first paperwork! His interview is the 4th and he should be able to travel the next week! That means before you know it, we will be together! (Let's keep our fingers crossed for the 2nd week of August!)

This has been such a LONG last few months but I'm sure it will all be worth it when we are together again. Since I got the news it is hard to think of anything else. I feel like all the plans that have been on hold can finally become unleashed!

Speaking of plans, we will be doing an Open House in Blackfoot sometime in August. I know I asked for addresses awhile ago but the hard drive on my iMac crashed and I lost my whole list. So, if I can make another cry for addresses--please either leave them in a comment or email me at beckitabonita@gmail.com

Spring is here? Or wait..not yet...almost...

I'm pretty sure that spring is more busy than summer because you are doing all the prep work during spring to make summer run smoothly. Does that make sense? And speaking of spring, where is it?!

For the last few weeks I feel like I have just run around in circles and put life on hold to get other things done. Dealing with Pablo's visa, work, church calling, planning Girls Camp (just as an assistant luckily!), helping with Relay for Life, and studying for my ABCTE test has me ready to pull my hair out. I'm not complaining, I know we are all going crazy right now.

Sometimes it is so hard to really see how all of these things are really going to come together in the end, but I also know that our Heavenly Father has a plan for us. We just have to have faith and patience and we will get there!

PS. I know this has been a random post, but anyone interested in a CD holder for their car I decided to just sell them for $20. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society and I will make you an awesome mix CD to go along with it! Just let me know if you are interested!

Relay Auction

How would you like to have a fancy, homemade, classy CD holder for your car?! This year to raise some money for Relay for Life I am auctioning off 2 of these babies! The one in the picture is one that my friend Michelle made me and I plan on making two of these to be auctioned off.Each holder has coordinating fabrics and elastic on the back to hook it onto your visor in your car. AND I will even throw in a personalized CD mix made by myself for YOU!If you are interested then leave a comment with a bid and see what happens. I will ship it to wherever. The 2 highest bidders will each get: a CD holder for their car, a personalized mix CD and get a luminaria bag for every $10 spent. (The luminarias are the bags that you or I can decorate to honor someone with cancer or who has had cancer.)

Leafy Treetop

All of my friends are talented in one way or another but today I'm going to brag about Tricia. She has her BFA in Illustration and she has TALENT! When we were roommates she was always working on a new project and it seemed like I always went to bed before her and woke up after her because she was always painting, drawing, etc. I love her sweet pictures and the great colors she uses!

She is starting an etsy shop to sell prints of her wonderful artwork. And I think that YOU should check it out. These would be perfect for a nursery, kids playroom or in a classroom. And they are more than reasonable priced. Go check her out and click HERE! Keep checking back because she will adding more when she has them available.
