'FORE'

So this past weekend i have done a ton of golfing and practicing to prepare for this summer when i will be able to get all mobility back and get back to my normal self which is a pro golfer of course! haha. jk. But let me just take you back to friday when i went actual golfing for the first time.


Friday a friend and I decided we would go hit up the course out here in syracuse and play 9. Well lets just say him and i both struggled big time on the very first hole. Pretty sure we both hit like six balls off the TEE ha. As we got to the third hole we both had finally gotten our 'swag' back and were hitting the ball a bit better. Well we round to the 12th whole Kory bombs a ball right into water/crap, but his second shot was pretty far right but still a good shot. I go up to hit the ball and NAIL a freaking house! not just hitting it into the yard or anything like that but  hit the house you could hear it loud and clear.
Well of course it being my luck Kory's ball was laying right outside the yard of the house i had just hit, so we pull to his ball and i look over and sure enough the woman who owned the house comes walking out and just stands there for a few minutes watching kory and I as he is hitting his ball, i thought for sure she was going to say something.... but instead she just scanned her house to make sure nothing was broke and walked back inside. Needless to say i played like poop on friday and Kory is never going to let that down.


Saturday/sunday i did so much better with these irons. I guess i should have told you earlier that another thing is, i played with irons for the first time friday as well so i did not really know how to hit them very well, but i have been working with them and i am pretty sure i am figuring them out to where i can get my 'swag' back on and dominate the course!!! Also i challenged Kory and his brother to a scramble against my brother and I. My bro and I went and played 9 on sunday doing a scramble and ended up shooting a 37. though we should have done better! oh well. 


Today i went out to the course around 4 to hit some range balls and practice more on those irons and also on my chipping and putting. And let me tell you what... today has for sure been my best day by far! i was crushing the ball and it felt so great!!! Now its time to rematch Kory and show him how good i really am. I let him feel good enough about himself last round so no more of that. Time to put him to shame. haha.

Life's hidden lessons.

Have you ever had so much running through your mind??  possibly the thought: where will you be in 5 years? will you be married just yet? if so do you think you will have kids? possibly traveling with your spouse? or even just living happily in your cute little apartment  trying to go to school to get a good education to even start doing any of that? Well none of those are quite yet me.. but the 5 year plan is what i think about all the time? will any of that be me in that time? well I SURE HOPE SO! 


I often catch myself thinking what does god have in store for me? here is a quote i found on lds.org and it seriously is so true and amazing!!! 

"Our hope and happiness lie in knowing who we are, where we came from, and where we can go. We are eternal beings, spirit children of an eternal God. God has had a plan for our lives since the beginning of the first act—a plan that, if followed, provides comfort and guidance now, as well as salvation and eternal happiness in our postmortal life.

Understanding the following can help us live a happier life now and in eternity."

We all sit and wonder to ourselves what is going to happen next, but we should not have to sit and worry where we will be or where we will go. The lord has a plan for us and we knew it in our pre-mortal life, and we agreed to it. So it is our time to live our lives to the fullest and enjoy the ride. Don't ever let money get the best of you, Don't let a broken heart stop you from finding your soul mate-- that one who broke it is obviously not the right one so why do we sit and hurt so much over them?? 

I hate dating just as much as the next person, but its how we find our spouses. I had a chat with a friend just the other night and its kinda what we talked about and its really had me thinking so much about life!!! And made me come to an understanding that yes god does have a plan for me but i have to stick to the standards our church has provided us, and that we cannot loosen up and give in and be apart of just the "normal" world..  I am still young and in that dating stance, but i know when and if i find that one that god will know and will keep him around for a reason!!! 

So here is what i have done.. i have put together a powerpoint that has everything i am looking for in a future husband, and then i did one where its the goals i have to get there and to accomplish them and to have eternal happiness! these are some of the things i mentioned in the powerpoints i have done. 

future husband

• wants a family and shows love for each and every one of his children
• is going to be able to support me and my family lovingly
• loves the gospel and cherishes it 
• to be sealed for time and eternity
• someone who wants to go monthly visits to do temple work
• has ambition in anything and everything he does
• and last that he is happy and always has a SMILE on his face. 

my goals

• be able to be a loving wife/mother
• make sure my husband and kids are always happy do whatever it takes to support them weather it is in sports, helping with homework, or giving advice
• to be able to cook for them 
• to try not to argue with my husband and/or kids. to talk it out with a smile
• be married for time and eternity to the love of my life 

For now i am just going to live my life and know that everything in the end is going to work out and that one day i will be eternally happy and grateful for everything!! because everything we go through here on earth is one lesson closer to our eternal happiness!!

Today i received my first nephew! i have never been so scared, excited, and nervous all mixed into one big emotion! I got a call from my brother saying that they were heading into the hospital because my sister in law was having the worst contractions ever! I arrived at the hospital around 3 PM, and when i got there she was dialated to a 9 and all she needed to get to was 10.

So i am sitting here in this hospital room with my best friend Kersten and my family thinking ok.. she is at a 9 only one more and she starts pushing. Well that takes A LOT longer than you would ever think! It took about two and half to maybe three hours. I do have to admit though... i never knew that waiting in a hospital room could be so much fun! HAHA my bestie and i were just having a grand old time sharing our laughs and just messing around. They had free unlimited pop and suckers... bad idea. I am pretty sure i ate at least 20 suckers!! they were simply DELICOUS! YUM! Best part about the waiting was when the nurse would come in and help out my sister and Kersten's face was just as if she was about to throw up or was scared haha. oh goodness she is gonna end up having like 12 of her own kids one day... just wait. haha.

Finally around 6:30 my sister in law was able to start the labor and about 6:43 we had a new miracle that had joined our family here on this earth!!! :))) he brings so so so much joy to my families, and mines life!! He is going to be so blessed with the most amazing parents ever!!!!
