Joy Juice

I just had an amazing time at our Stake Woman's Conference! We started with a Waffle Brunch, where they had all you could think of to put on a waffle. Two groups of women sang to entertain us. Then we moved into the Chapel for the Spiritual food. We sang "Count Your Many Blessing" and well a Chapel full of women singing was just jaw dropping, even if you can't sing you wouldn't have noticed. Sister Sexton Put together a great program.
First was a sister from Chino who went through many trails but came out with a smile (more on that later). Then was Brother Johnson, unfortunately I missed a lot of that talk because I was trading off duty for watching 15 month old. But tears of joy and sadness were shed.
So back to the sister from Chino, she has spoken at EFY's and other places too, I wish I remembered her name, anyways. She was very humorous and talked about being Happy. She touched on so many points through her talk but the outer shell to it was on Joy Juice. Now this is not the liquir kind, but one that will make you a better person from the inside out instead of the outside in.
So to begin you take some red juice labeled prayer. So many people think this is a primary answer to so much, and think we know what that is. You may and I think I do, but we all to many times ask for a list who knows how many pages long of blessings and think well I pay my tithing go to church and the Temple, and I am worthy in my calling, I shoud recieve the blessings. Well we need to remember that it is His plan for us not our plan that he is just waiting for us to say when.
Next add some scripture study (blue juice). Tis is a common theme that I have been hearing lately and I think it is for my bennifit but you should listen too. Even if it isjust a scripture a day. My mother-in-law sends a scripture out to the family everyday. And even though I don't always read it I look forward to it, and well I think now that I am writing this I am going to start just because it will atleast give me a good 15 minutes to atleast have scriptures be a part of my life.
Now add a little bit of green for perspective. I love the "Group participation" the speeker had. On your hand write "My Problem is.." Now hold it right over your eyes. What can you soo? NOTHING, but your problem. Now hold it on the tip off your nose, atleast there is some light around your problem, but is still right infront of your face. Next hold your hand all the stretch out. Now what can you see? Everything and your problem. You have a perspective that includes your problem and everyhting around you. You may never know who or what will help sove the problem "at hand" (I made a funny, haha).
Last a bit of yellow jiuce Gratitude. We say we want we ask thee, but do you thank him enough. For everything. Anything that goes on that is a good things, even the little things. getting a green light when late to work, being able to have an apple for luch, looking at the beautiful mountains on a drive. What about those blessings, well be thankful for all and you will feel better too.
So as you can see joy jiuce involves just a little bit of everything, but you will be happy!

Change to LIfe!

Oh wow what a change!! Well for those who don't already know WE ARE MOVING! Don't worry we will still be in Prescott Valley just across town from our old place.
About three weeks ago we came across a friend of a friend who was selling a house. We weren't really in the market, but we thought we would look into it. Well come to find out We are perfect for it. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a living room and family room, nice open kitchen, and a nice gated backyard for Gage to run around.
We signed the initial contract on Friday and hopefully should close Escrow on March 31st.
When we get closer to moving in I will post pictures! Till than stay tuned!
