Isla Nielson
This post is solely dedicated to the most adorable little girl in my life. Isla Michelle Nielson. She is about 8 months old and giggles at everything. Her smile melts my heart and her beautiful blue eyes get me every time. I get to see Isla all the time and i get so emotional thinking about her growing up while i am gone for the next 18 months. It breaks my heart but i know by the time she is almost 3 years old, i can take her on play dates! I want to hear her talk so badly and see her crawl.
Isla has made a huge difference in my life and i am so grateful for her. She is going to grow up and be one of the most amazing people in this world. I just know it!

Draper Temple
I received my temple endowment January 28th in the Draper Temple and it was beautiful. Words can't express the feelings i felt as i sat in the temple listening to the spirit.
To help time pass more quickly in the next 3 months, my friends and i have set a goal of going to every temple in Utah before i leave in May. I feel so blessed to be able to have so many temples within driving distance. There are 13 in Utah!!
This experience will help me so much because i will be in Lisbon during the building of the new temple!!!! Isn't that so exciting! The Lisbon temple was announced during the October 2010 conference. I can't wait to share the amazing things you feel when you go to the temple. The closest temple to Lisbon is in Madrid, Spain which is 400 and some odd miles away. The members are so dedicated because they travel that far just to go to the temple. They are very special people and i get to serve them!! I cannot wait.
I have exactly 100 days until i enter the MTC!

Mission Call
Wholy Moly!! I cannot believe how long it has been since i have updated this blog.
Update: I'm going on a mission!! Crazy right? I never thought this day would come, but i turned in my mission papers December 14,2010. It took only a handful of people to open my eyes and get my priorities straight in life. I felt the strongest impression to read my patriarchal blessing one night. So i went home, read my blessing and realized i need to change some things in my life and i knew i was supposed to go on a mission. So, my papers were submitted a month later, i got my call a week and a half later.. and now, i am going to Lisbon, Portugal!!!!! I get to speak Portuguese and i enter the MTC on May 18th. It is about a 4 and half month wait, however i know Heavenly Father is making we wait so long for a reason. I am definitely being taught patience. Every day seems so long and i am just dragging.. But i have a lot of good prepping time.
Heavenly Father has used a couple of people in my life as instruments for him to help me get to this point. I am grateful to be a part of this gospel and share my testimony with the people of Portugal.. Ahhhhh.. It still hasn't hit me yet.
I'll make sure to update this more before i leave. I've got a trip planned with my best friends to visit every temple in Utah in the next 2 months. Yahoo :)
Here are some places i will go to in Lisbon!!!

Camping in Mona
Last night was incredible. My best friend Cassidi, Adam and I went to Mona, Utah for an over night camping trip. The weather was insane. It was pouring rain, then cleared up, then lots of lightning and thunderstorms. It was the most beautiful view and regular camping will never be the same or even measure up.
We didn't get to the camp site until about 10pm and had to set everything up in the dark. HA HA It was pretty much pitch black and raining. Adam was the smartest one of the crew and brought a lighter for the fire that didn't work. We didn't eat dinner over a campfire.We sat in the tent eating crackers and fruit and played Uno. BUT, It was so much fun. I was freaking myself out because the wind was blowing and the cover on the tent would hit the windows and i seriously thought someone was creeping on us. We didn't get to bed until it was pretty late. AND Adam decided to wake up at 7am (butt crack of dawn!!) and drive to Nephi to buy matches. We had hot dogs and marshmallows for breakfast. It was yummy. Then, we went to the lake/ pond with a rope swing and hung out for about 2 seconds and left.
The next camping trip is going to be just as amazing!

Oh The Car Shopping
Car shopping is ridiculous.. I have been searching for 2 weeeeeeks. WHY!!! The only thing that has gone right.. Is the fact i could get the car sales man to take down the price of a car from $15,000 to $10,000. Amazing right? I thought so.. But i am going to make him wait all night and until tomorrow because i have a few more cars i need to check out and test drive. I would love a Nissan Altima or a Maxima.. But only the 2005 to 2007 models. I hate that i lean towards the expensive cars, when i know i can never drive them. Ha ha Like a Range Rover, Audi, Infiniti, BMW. Life is just oh so hard. May has been a month full of adventures and spectacular stories.. I'll make sure to post all about it when i have time. Love to you all.
