Women's Conference

I am finally doing something for myself!  I am so excited to attend Women's Conference, for the first time ever, on Thursday and Friday.  I am going with my grandma, aunts, a couple cousins, and possibly my sister. 

Elder Marble is COMING HOME!

Elder Steven Marble is coming home!....early.  He has been injured on the mission and has been honorably released to come home 3 months early to have emergency surgery on his ankle.  He has served with such faith and obedience with a love for the members of Pima, AZ; San Manuel, NM; Tuscon, AZ; and Duncan, AZ.  We are so proud of you buddy!

When he was in high school playing football he fractured his right ankle.  Being the determined person he is, he played the rest of the season and his senior year of football with never getting it looked at.  His ankle did not heal correctly and he has had to wear an ankle brace since.  Yesterday afternoon, he was playing basketball with some members when he landed on his ankle and re-fractured the same area that never healed correctly.  He also fractured the inside of his ankle as well, there is now nothing holding his ankle together.  He will be coming home in a wheelchair and going into emergency surgery early next week. 

We are so grateful to be able to have him home tomorrow night in one piece, albeit broken.  But the Lord blesses his servants and we know He has been watching over our Elder Marble.  Welcome home Buddy!

Happy Spring!

Weird Dreams

I have been having the oddest dreams lately.  They don't make any sense when I wake up and I just shake my head thinking, where the poop did that come from?!

My most recent dream was that my brother Steven (Elder Marble right now) came home from his mission.  Me, being the responsible sister that I am, took him to a tattoo parlor and made him watch me get a tattoo of this across my entire back:

But I thought I should make it look pretty so why not add a little bird sitting on a cherry blossom, smack dab in the middle of the great ole United States!

This was my very "classy" tattoo that I made my return missioinary brother watch me get in my dream!!

CRAZY!

I was asked by the Dean of my College that I advise for, to participate in the Convocation.  Convocation is only for the college you graduated from and this is where you are able to have your nam announced and you are able to walk across the stage and shake your professors hand and the Deans as well.                                

He asked me to announce my students names as they came up to the stage! Our speaker for our college this year is the Lt. Governor for the State of Utah too.  So I will be able to meet the Lt. Governor and see many of the students I have personally worked with, graduate!  It is such an honor that the College has asked me to be a part of this great celebration.
