Public Speaking

Ok I'm sure no one really reads these blogs anymore seems everyone is into Facebook, so I figure it might be a good spot to write down some things on my mind. The title of this blog is public speaking, don't know about anyone else but the thought of speaking in front of people terrify me, but what do you do when the Stake President calls you into his office and asks if you would speak at Stake Conference not for him but for HIM!!! How could I say no to the Lord, think besides my kids he is the only one I cant say no too. Anyhow my topic is on the blessings I received since I went to the Temple. When he asked me that I answered him truthfully and told him I wasn't quite sure, I figured once I went to the Temple my life would fall into place, you know no more worries perfect children you know all that! Well it has been far from that but I do feel a more peaceful feeling at times and I also know that whatever is thrown at me I can handle because of the gospel. So I have until a week from Saturday to get my thoughts together for my 7 minute talk, oh and President Hadfield seemed to think that telling me I would be speaking in the Adult session would somehow ease my mind. HAHA it would be easier to speak in the Primary session oh wait they don't have one. Oh well like I said I can conquer my fear of speaking in front of a large crowd or at least learn don't answer your phone if you don't recognize the number. :)

Thanksgiving


Since its the Thanksgiving season, I thought I would do a post on things I am Thankful for. First I am thankful for my boys, they are what keep me going day after day, give me my gray hair, and drive me crazy, but cant imagine or remember what my life was like before they came to me. Thanks Robert & Bronson, may not tell you all the time :) but glad you picked me! My Parents, my brothers and my sister in law, you guys have always been there for me, you have helped me more than I will ever be able to repay you. Love you all. My nieces and nephew Brooklyn, Carter and Shayla, I love being the favorite Aunt, thank you for telling me that all the time! My friends, my job, my health, too many things to list. I am also thankful for my Heavenly Father and the blessing and love that he has given and continues to give everyday. I hope each and everyone of you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
