I am Grateful!

So these pictures are from my birthday weekend. Ya I am a little slow. We decided to go to Idaho and see my family up there since we wouldn't be up there for Thanksgiving. It was a really good time I got to stay with my sister Jana in Logan. We always have good visits with her and I always stay up way to late talking about life. Then my Mom and Dads broker to us to dinner at Hamilton's steak house and it just ended up being on my Birthday. 27! It was fun to be with all the family and laugh about Ty's peter pan tights that they all saw hehe! I even got to eat at the Formosa the night before which is my favorite chinese restaurant ever! So eating out is like my favorite thing I guess! Then we went up to Idaho to stay with Bryant and Jodi. There great hosts and my kids love them. Jodi has an adorable house she is so Crafty! We got to go back to good old Grace High and watch my nieces Brandi and Sam play basketball. I don't love girls bball but I really got into watching them play they are awesome. Nicole my other niece is a cheerleader and does a great job! I probably watched them more heehee! I got to visit with my best friends parents which is always a treat cause there like my second parents. So my oldest brother Mark and his family moved into the house up there and they just finished remodeling. Wow it looks so great. I am so happy that it stayed in the family and we still have a play to go to! On they way home we got to stop and see my Dads and my nieces head stones which just got done. It was nice to see them before the snow flies and put flowers on them. They look really nice. I am so amazed at how strong my brother and his wife are I know that it wasn't easy especially seeing Jaeda who is only two days older. I know that the Lord will bless them when the time is right they are amazing and will be amazing parents. I am grateful for my Mom and Dad for raising us to have strong testimonies and to always stay close to our Savior. I can't wait for the day that we get to be with my Dad and Brynlee again.

When we got home we got another great surprise Ty's Mom flew into Cedar to spend the day with us. The kids were thrilled they love Grandma Curds. Talon got to see the cool plane that she flew in and he cried when she left. I have two wonderful families, wonderful children, and a wonderful husband I couldn't be more grateful for that.

The Pulse

So our dance studio On Stage went to the Pulse

convention this weekend in Vegas. Oh man it was so

fun. The teachers are amazing as well as the choreography.

I was so sore after Mia's class I could not move my neck. She

is so inspiring and such a technician at creating movement. Isn't the

picture of her and Jaeda adorable. Hopefully, Jaeda is a future dancer.

I also took class from Tyce, Shane, Laurie Ann, Chris and Dave. The

last picture is of the band "Think" it was there first appearance. Chris

Judd is the founder and helping them get big. The were actually pretty

decent so check em out.

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete... Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
