4th of July BBQ

We celebrated the 4th of July by eating a massive feast!
The highlight of the meal were the BBQ rack of ribs and
mom's world famous baked beans!! YUMMMMY!!!

Observing the Wildlife

 Fourth of July weekend was spent with family in the Uintah Basin!! We enjoyed watching the wildlife outside of my parents door! A hummingbird had built a nest on top of a light fixture and was incubating her eggs. To our surprise we had a baby fawn visit the house as well. Crazy to say this but first time I have ever seen a baby fawn in real life. I have always seen the deer when they were older and have no spots on their back. New discovery!! 

Family matters...

This morning I was feeling a great mixture of emotions, like anger, sadness, and powerlessness. I wanted to stop feeling that; I wanted to see some heads roll (not literally). After reading a quote from President Monson, all those feelings were replaced by peace and a knowledge that I need to do what is right, and let Heavenly Father will take care of the rest. I know what is in my heart, and he knows it too. That is all that matters.

One thing that I learned is how much I love my family, how much I want them to know that and that I will fight for them. I will make amends, and forget the past. I need my family, I need them so much. I want things to be like when I was 7. I miss those Christmases together. I know it is easier to hold grudges, but peace comes only when you do what is right. I will think less about me and start thinking more about them. I learned also that assumption is the mother of family feuds. I will be kinder to those closer to me, I will lend a hand, and just start back when I was 7.

Excuse me!

So I do not know what possessed me to delete my other blog but to this day, I regret it; very much. Well, I will have to try to make up for what has been lost and if I come across old pictures, I will post about it. I want to start blogging again, because Facebook just doesn't cut it. I only stay on because I like to know what's going on in my friends' lives. I want to know if I can help them. I honestly post only about 1/4 of the things I really want to say; I delete posts all the time within one minute of posting them.

I want to be able to remember details so I am going to try to get back to blogging. For now, I am going to go back to doing my Math homework because I am really behind on it. Until then, thanks for reading!!!
