Honesty

I've made a new blog commitment to myself. Wanna know what it is?

Lately I've thought about shutting my blog down because I've felt as though I didn't have anything that I wanted to share with anyone. Then one day I had a thought that maybe it wasn't about what I didn't have to say, but maybe that I was too afraid to say anything.

You see, I have this problem. Something that I haven't admitted before, but in the new spirit of honesty that I'm trying to bring to this blog I figured this might be a good place to start.

Here's the truth:

I am deeply insecure that what I write, no one wants to hear. I like writing. But I want to write things that matter. And I'm worried that I'll never write anything that matters.

I think that in order to write about things that matter, I need to decide what matters to me. And honesty matters to me.

  

Whew. Been awhile.

Truthfully I haven't felt all that inspired to write lately. So, I'm going to start with an update, and some pictures and see where things lead.

First update is that I went through the temple! For those non-LDS readers who may someday read this post, "going through the temple" is slang for when a member of the Church makes a deeper commitment to the Church in our temples. It sounds creepy when I write it out that way, but it really isn't. And I wish I could explain it better. Okay, moving on because I'm butchering this.

My escort/awesome friend Janae. She and her husband and baby drove up from California to come through with me.

So excited to be at the Temple!

Me, my Mom, and my Grandma and Grandpa Clark. Grandma Clark just turned 89!

Second, I got a second job as a nanny for a wonderful kid in my ward. His dad works in Alaska 2 weeks on 2 weeks off so I take care of his boy when he's up there.


That's it for now. More later.

It's Okay

That I got frustrated with my kids today. Teaching three year old's is hard, especially when all they want to do is hit each other and not listen.

That I haven't had any clean clothes for a week now. Eh, my perfume will cover the smell right?

That I do not like the city of Las Vegas. Except for shopping. Too dirty (literally and figuratively), and it smells bad.

That all I want to do is sleep. Forever.

That (seriously) ALL I want to do is sleep.

That I'm more excited for the season premiere's of the TV's shows I watch than I am for pretty much anything else in my life right now.

That I'm not perfect.
