Real Steel

Neill and I went to a movie called "Real Steel." It's about a Robot who is found in a scrap heap that they make into a Robot Boxer. This boy makes a connection with this robot, and everyone has "Adam" the robot counted out of every match because he is smaller, weaker, and to as advanced technologically. This doesn't put the kid down. He keeps believing in his robot and that he can do all things.

The thing that I thought that I could take away from that movie is that that boy never gave up. He saw something special in that robot, and no matter how many people told him his robot was worthless it didn't matter. He had Faith in that little robot, and he believed in him. When all odds were againist him he never gave up. There are many different morals you could take from this movie.

I think the ones that I want to take away from this movie is #1: Never Give Up. No matter how hard things get always remember to rely on my Heavenly Father. #2 Believe in Myself. Know that I have worth. Heavenly Father would make anything that didn't have any worth.

It's amazing what you can take away from wholesome movies. Many of them have a moral to them. I would recommend this movie. It was a wonderful movie.

DAD

Dad's been gone for two years now. I miss you so much. There aren't words to describe how much I miss you. I was listening to your Funeral DVD today Dad, trying to reach out and get close to you again. I watched the DVD we played at your Viewing as well. I made a book of your Funeral Services and went through it trying to remember everything you taught me.

It happened to be Fast Sunday today at Church. As I thought about that many more things came together for me. You and mom helped me form my first Testimony. You and mom taught me the Plan of Salvation, and that if we live Christlike lives we will be Together Foever as a Family once again. You and mom also taught me to love my Savior and to Believe Him not to just Believe In Him. You and mom together helped me gain a Testimony of the Gospel. Something that you can't buy with money or monetary means. You build it on Faith, Love, and Trust in our Heavenly Father. Lastly, you both taught me to love the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints with all my heart.

Thank you Dad. I couln't ask for more. What you and mom gave me are worth more that gold. Thank you for helping me build my Testimony. I miss you Dad. I hold you dear to my heart. You will never leave that spot. You will always be remembered, and your legacy will live on for years to come. I love you and miss you and can't wait to see you again.

Love your daugter,

Emily



HIVES, HIVES, HIVES

I've never had hives in my whole life. Didn't know what they looked liked, or what they even felt like. Well, this last week I had the experience of having hives.

I woke up one morning just itching like crazy. I didn't know why. I figured it was an allergic reaction to a medication, and the medication said get to the doctor as soon as possible if you are experienceing itching so I did, and that's when they told me I had "hives." We tried to find the culprit, but we couldn't.

Finally, I remembered I hadn't taken my allergy medicince for 2 weeks, because I ran out and we couldn't go get it. We were able to go get it a few days latter and the hives went a way. I think it comes down to that I am allergic to my cats, and if I'm not on my allergy medicine I will break out in hives now.

So the moral to the story is, If you are on allergy medicine don't stop it. Stay on it. Find a way to keep getting it, because it isn't worth the pain and suffering you will go through if you don't stay on the allergy medicine you nee to be on.

Have a wonderful week.

Happy New Year

Thanksgiving

The holdiays are almost here. It's exciting to think about. Thanksgiving is this week, and then Christmas. As Thanksgiving is approaching it makes me think of what I am grateful for. So many people in this world don't have anything yet I have a home to keep me warm, food to eat to nourish my body, vehicles that run and can take me places. On top of all of that, the thing I am most grateful for is the family I have to love, and that they can love me in return.

Family is so important. I have a wonderful husband that works hard and does the best he can to provide for our family, and we have the kids that come and see us as much as occasion permits. I have a lot to be thankful for. What wonderful gifts my Heavenly Father has given me and blessed me with. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

People I AmThankful For

DAD

Thinking about dad today. I don't know why. He is just on my mind.  I miss him so much. I remember him going to get wood out of the wood shed and starting a fire on days like today. It felt so nice to feel the heat from that fire, but more than that it was relaxing watching that fire dance around in that fire place as it burned and we would have to put more wood on the fire again. Dad would sit in his recliner right by the fireplace and read a Louis Lamour book.

I see my Dad's picture on the bookcase everyday. It just makes me feel as if he is their with me. The holidays are always rough, but I always want to feel my Dad around me. I am always going to have found memories of my Dad. I love my Dad. Even though he is not with me anymore in this life; I still love him.

I Love You Dad! :)

Me and My Dad

Now that Halloween is over it is time to start thinking about Thanksgiving and all the things we are Thankful for. I've discovered how thankful I am for my kids. When you don't get to see them that often it makes life that much more sweeter when you do get to see your kids. I am also very thankful for a wonderful husband who goes to a job that he doesn't like all that much, but he does it because it will help our family the most. I am thankful I have a degree in teaching so that when I substitute teach I can get paid a teachers salary and not a  non-certified salary. I am so thankful that our vehicles are running and we have a place to live. That is HUGE.

I guess if you sit back and think about your life you can find many things to be thankful for. I guess the ultimate thing to be thankful for is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Well, I guess thankfulness is just something to think about this time of year. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
