This is Halloween

Frightmares (soo much fun) and pumpkin carving to celebrate the Halloween season. I love Halloween! :)

I love to camp in really cute cabins in Heber

We were invited by the Buhler's to go to a cute little cabin in Heber with their family. We had a lot of fun four-wheeling and admiring all of the beautiful Fall scenery. We even made time to get our family pictures done. It was a very good time thanks to our lovely friends!

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes..

To my best friend,
Good luck in England! I will miss you terribly but, I am so happy for this new adventure.
I love you! Love, Sarah

Progression & Perfection

We as humans know: life can be discouraging at times. Lately.. that is how I've felt. Sometimes.. words come out wrong and not as intended or I offend someone unintentionally. I may not act responsible or as motivated as I should or think about others and serve others as I should. The list could go on. This list has been getting to me over the past while.

I walked downstairs last night to find a re-run of General Conference on the TV and I heard President Uchtodorf say this,

"My dear brothers and sisters, don’t get discouraged if you stumble at times. Don’t feel downcast or despair if you don’t feel worthy to be a disciple of Christ at all times. The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try. We must try to believe. Try to learn of God: read the scriptures; study the words of His latter-day prophets; choose to listen to the Father, and do the things He asks of us. Try and keep on trying until that which seems difficult becomes possible—and that which seems only possible becomes habit and a real part of you.

Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly. Though we may feel lost and without compass, God’s love encompasses us completely."


I am grateful for:
-Tender mercies & hearing something a second time that I did not the first time.
-Living Prophets in our day.
-A God who is encouraging, forgiving, and who understands me (and all of us) completely.
-The happy gospel of Jesus Christ.




"Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye are little children,and ye have not as yet understood how great blessings the Fatherhath in his own hands prepared for you;and ye cannot bear all things now; Nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings there-of are yours, and the riches of eternity are yoursand he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious;and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more."

Doctrine and Covenants 78: 17-19

A day at the zoo

Jared and I have been wanting to go to the zoo for 2 years. Finally, we went a few Saturdays ago. It was so much fun and we really enjoyed seeing all of the animals while enjoying delicious snow cones (explanation of my blue mouth).

Dear October,

Past Octobers..
Welcome! I've missed you and I am happy you have arrived!
