It Has Been a While

It has been a couple of months since I have been on here.  It has been kind of a forgotten project of mine but on the other hand ,it has been on the back of mind that I need to start blogging again, and since I have more time to blog now why wait let's jump back in the saddle.
So what has happened since April?  At the end of April, my husband and I were given the opportunity to purchase a new working car, since our old car decided it finally had enough and die on us.  My sister graduated in May and we found out that my grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that has spread to her lungs brain and kidneys.  This has been hard for all of us but she beat cancer once and now it is her time to go, so we are waiting for her time to go and see our savior again.
  In June Jon and I where given the opportunity to move to the Bosie Idaho area so we were getting ready for the big move so I quit my job.  In July I was given the opportunity to go to Camp Bradley as an Adult leader and teach boys the age of 7-9-year-olds about flag etc quit and soil and land conservation.  spent a week away from my husband doing this and I ha a blast doing that that I decided i was going back and was going to take Jon with me.  When I got back Jon told me some heartfelt news that the company that he was going to be with withdrew their offer of a job, but that is ok because a week later we found that a prison inmate was killed during one of the nights so it was a probably a good thing that he did not take the job.  I was a little sad but that is ok because i had so much stuff that I wanted to do that I have had very little time to do anything so this gives me a chance to do the things I want to do and Not have to worry about work. In August Jon and I had a very hard time dealing with some things that had come up like my back acting very strangly.  I suffer from scoiliosis and it has gotten worse over time.  with that in mind on the 22 of August I had suffered another misscariage and this time I did nothing wrong.  this has been so hard on both of us and we have struggled about going to church even though it has only been a couple of weeks.  95% of the women in our church have only been married a couple of months and are expecting their first child or they already have children and they are expecting again.  The hardest part is when they slap it in your face that they are expecting or when they ask you when you are going to start your family.   In between all of this Jon and I have been to some amazing places like Hunt camp, Hagerman, Three Island Crossing, Albion, American Falls Mill.
In October I started working at a mortuary and I never thought I would work at a place like that, but it has been a blessing because in November my grandma lost her life to cancer.  In January Jon and I celebrated our second anniversary I can not believe it has been two years since we got married.  Where has the time gone?!?  It is now the end of February and next weekend I am happy to announce that I will be going to time out for women and I am so excited to go and have a spiritual uplift because I feel like I need something uplifting as I am in a slump. So that is it for now will be talking soon.

So A Little Busy

So I have been a little busy that I have not had any time to write on here, and then not having my camera cord has been a little frustrating because since the last time i have been on here a lot has happened.  Jon got a new job working for the company Safelink.  He is now an official E.M.T, So when the fire fighters get called out on a call and need E.M.T. he is in charge under the fire fighters. My sister Rose is having surgery soon on her leg.  She had a mass growing on her leg and we found out that when she was younger she had injured her leg and instead of it growing together to heal it grew up and off to the side.  It looks like a mushroom growing on the side of her leg so she is having surgery soon for that because it is painful for her to walk on.  She was also in play Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and she was one of the brides...however you ask me which bride i have no clue, but she did an amazing job and I can see her being one of the lead roles in the near future.  My other sister Alyce competed for the Title Miss Was Bonnet Roundup Rodeo and she ended up with title of queen.  So there you have it Been super busy with rodeo stuff and sister stuff husband stuff work stuff and I ask myself can I be cloned and be in several places at once?

My Hero's

So I just wanted to take a minute to update what is going on in my little life because I haven't posted anything in a while so here is the spill...Jon and I were able to go to the temple last Tuesday and while we were in Twin we stopped at the Police department because they are hiring police officers and that is Jon's dream job is to become a police officer.  They took his application and told him that they are testing on the 26 of February...yikes only a few days of training and we have been training our butts off...Jon is certified to be an E.M.T. and so he has been volunteering with the hospital and then just the other day he turned in his application to become a a volunteer fire fighter and was accepted for that and it boosted his chances of getting that because he is an E.M.T. so tonight he was given some of his equipment for fire fighter and I think he looks good in his uniform he looks very small in it.
Heavenly father hears our prayers in all things but we need to remember that we need to follow his timing.  we can have plans and more plans but things don't always work out but sometimes things work out better than expected.
This post is called hero's because Jon is my hero, but my father is my hero.  He was in the Navy.  He was a cop and a fire fighter before I was born.  My mom has told me stories about when they were first married how he was working for B.L.M. fighting fires and there was one fire that she did not hear from him for days and when she did hear him it was only for a few minutes.  I come from a line of military men and if i had a better back and hip and hearing I would have joined the Navy but things happened and my purpose is here and we all need to learn that it is not our timing but or father in heaven.

I wish i had a picture of my dad when he was in the Navy but I don't and I would have to find a really old picture of him or find one of the old Navy Yearbooks, but here is my Jon.  He looks so good in his uniform.  

Listen to the Still Small Voice

Jon and I were able to go to the temple yesterday and it was an amazing day but it was cloudy and kinda breezy and because it is still the middle of winter it was kinda dead.  we were walking hand in hand to the front of the temple and Jon was like look even the dead plants in the flower beds want to come in but the temple won't let them in because they are not worthy to come into the temple.  The temple is such a beautiful place that I don't want heavenly father to tell me that I am not worthy to enter into the temple.  I want to be able to listen to what my father is telling me.  Later that night Jon and I were having scripture study and we were in 1Kings 19:11-12 it reads And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord.  And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not the wind: and after the wind an earthquake;but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And After the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
Heavenly father is there but he is not the one that causes heartache or misery for us he is the one to let us know that hey everything is all right I am here.  He is there to listen to us when we need help and guidance.  I was in relief society Sunday and to me that is a big deal because most Sundays I am working so I can't go to Relief society but I managed to go.  Our teacher who her daughter has suffered so much in her life, and just adding one more thing to her was about it and she was like mom I give up.
We sometimes get to that point in our lives that we see all this distraction going on in our lives that can impact us negatively but if we hold on look up and listen to that still small voice we can make it back to our Father in Heaven.  He did not send us here on earth to fail, he sent us here to learn and grow so when we come back to him we can tell him all we learned from our mistakes and thank him for sending us there because we have a greater understanding of why we needed to come to earth.  Right now we don't know everything that is going to happen but I promise you al this, go to your Bishop if you feel like you are not worthy to go to the temple he will help and guide you so that you can be one day ready to go to the temple.  He knows the blessings that our Father in Heaven has in store for us.  Trust in him.
A quote by Howard W. Hunter: Perhaps what this world needs, is to look up to look up in our joys as well as our afflictions, in our abundance as well as in our need.
I left a link that if anybody wants to listen to this talk it is so worth it and you will be blessed to hear it.

Valentines Day

For God

So Loved the world

That he gave his

only

begotten

son so 

that whoever

Believes

in him shall

Have everlasting life

John 3:16

I just wanted to wish everybody a happy late valentines day.  Valentines does not have to be fancy in any way.  What I did for jon is that I wrote on the bathroom mirror that i have put on here, and then we went to church.  When we got home I started to make dinner and had family and friends come over and we played Skipbo the card game while eating chocolate fondu.  It was pretty fun but very simple.  However I believe that love is in the air still.  I can't say anything about it but i am pretty excited of what is going to happen soon and it is going to be a fun date.
Also an update because i have not been on here for a bit...on Friday I am officially C.P.R. and first aid trained.  For me this is a big step because I am in the Ventures Program which is part of the Boy Scouts Program but this is co-ed for girls and boys and I now qualify for my Discovery award and part of my Trust award that I working on with the help of my wonderful husband.  With the trust award it is a religious award that has so many things that i need to get done and I am like my deadline is coming up very soon so I need to get a work on it but I have most of it done.   It has taught me a lot about other peoples religion and how not to judge other peoples way of worship.  You worship the way you worship.  I was taught in a very strong L.D.S religion and I am sticking to it because to me it is the right church.  others will say that their religion is the right religion, so I don't argue because they have been taught what they know.
We are all trying to better our lives by going to church other other things and we are trying to get to a better place with our lives so that one day we can be able to live with Heavenly Father.  I was not sent here on earth to bash other religions or anything like that, because i ask myself when people bash on the "Mormons" would the savior want me to do that to my brothers and sisters who don't know the truth?  We were made in his likeness so how could we be mean to other people?  Valentines day was placed on earth to show that we can love everybody and it is a reminder that we should try and love everybody.  I have a hard time with that myself but I have been placed here on earth to try and love everybody because i don't want to meet my maker and be sad because i treated somebody unkindly.
So I challenge you all who reads my blog to be nice to somebody new today.  Say hi to somebody or something I don't know but be nice.

Faith in Christ

This past couple of days I have felt severely sad and lonely have the feeling of no hope and despair is all i deserve.  I have made a horrible mistake of telling my best friend in this whole wide world of what I think of this one thing that has been bothering me.  I found a video earlier todays about Ted Bundy of before he was electrocuted about how he was raised in a good christian home and how one little slip of something could change your life forever.

I have no right to place judgment on somebody it is not my place and I am truly sorry if I have ever judged somebody to harshly but I am hoping that one day i can be forgiven for all of my misdeeds because it has dragged me down to feel like i have no desire to move on in my life.  

I want to give those who are struggling in one form of another that there is hope and help out there for you.  If it is by going to counseling or an AA meeting or whatever it may be get the help.  Remember to forgive often and to receive forgiving and to ask of it.  it is a hard thing so don't make the other person feel like they are all alone in this because we have the savior and he will be willing to stand by them and wrap his arms around them and help them so why can't we.  Come unto Jesus.

Sad Times, Happy Times

So I feel like I need to share this because there is not a whole lot of people that will openly talk about it and I feel like it gets swept under the carpet and us women will bury our emotions deep down inside us and so I want to share my story in hope that I can have other people relate to what I am going through or what you guys are going through.
November of 2015 I woke up one morning and new I was expecting.  I was throwing up all morning long and then I felt better and then i would try and eat something and throw it back up again.  I was going to go to work and then after work I was going to pick up a pregnancy test but I new deep down that I was.  Jon came home from work for lunch and I was headed out the door.  In our drive way we have these logs that divide our lawn from the drive way and I thought I had passed over them to get to the car but i tripped over it and fell twisting my ankle.  Jon didn't see what had happened but i was crying and he herd me crying so he went outside and picked me up and took me into the house.  My foot hurt so bad but by laying there I was feeling pressure and pain in my lower back.  i could barley move.  Jon gave me so Ibuprofen to hopefully take some of the pain away but it was getting worse so he took me to the E.R.  They needed to get some X-rays done and they did some blood work to see if I was pregnant and it came back negative.  I new I was going through a miscarriage.  When the Dr. got back my X-rays they told me I comprsed my spine and sprained my ankle.  i was still in a lot of pain but we were released to go home.
When we finally got home I new what I had to do and what was happening.  Jon helped me to the bathroom and then the phone rang and he went to go answer it and while he was on the phone I had the baby.  Jon still didn't know that I was pregnant or anything and I feel so bad that I didn't tell him.  I went and played down and cried myself to sleep for a little bit, but jon woke me up because the sister missionaries were coming over and my parents were coming over along with one of my brother in laws to give me a blessing of healing.  after everybody left we were finally able relax a little bit i was laying on the couch and jon was headed to our room.  I didn't want him to be in our bed alone but it was his choice but after five minutes of being inner room he came out with a blanket and pillow and he crashed on the floor for the night.
I had every opportunity to tell Jon what had happened but I couldn't find the words or the timing or anything in between to tell him that we had lost a baby.
Three weeks ago I was talking to one of my cousins who is expecting her first one and seeing some of my friends and family member who are not married and having children have really bothered me a lot because Jon and I have worked so hard to have a child and then losing one it opens up old wounds but I couldn't share it with Jon, Just that fact that we can't get pregnant.  Anyway as I was saying about talking to my cousin I told her about having a miscarriage and so on and so forth.  I had to go to work that day and so when I came home home my sister was over and was having out with us.  Jon was reading our phone and he was like "Why didn't you tell me?"  I was confused at what he was talking about and so he showed me and I started to cry and I told him that I thought you would be mad and there was a lot going on and I just never found the right time and that I didn't want him to find out like that.  He gave me a hug and we both cried together and he told me " that gives me hope to have a family."  My sister was confused so we told her what was going on and she was like you need to tell mom.  my mom came to pick my sister up the next day and my sister telling me in front of our mom that I needed to tell her.  I didn't say a word and didn't even look at her.  later that night my mom was texting me and telling me that when she got home she knew that a little baby boy was sent home to heaven.
I was able to go to the temple the other day and when I was in the celestial room I was given the words that Julian Reed will be just fine and that he is so proud to have been able to come to earth and have two amazing parents and that one day I will be able to raise him.
I know that God lives.  I know he has a plan for everything.  I know that this life is going to be a challenge and a trial of our faith to prove our heavenly father that we trust in him in all things, so that one day we will be able to make it back into out loving Heavenly Fathers arms.  I know that one day I will be able to see my children on the other side and the ones I didn't raise here on earth I will be given the chance to raise in Heaven.  I know that Heavenly Father loves me and that he cares for me. I know it I live it I believe in it.
I have come to terms that one day I will be able to have a baby and raise it here on earth and that they will know of their brother who is waiting for us.  The world is a harsh world and you will see friends and relatives who are expecting their babies but don't give up.  Be happy for them and know that your beautiful creation will be waiting for you to raise them.

Mom and dad are excited to meet you Julian Reed Hunt and we love you, but for right now you get your siblings ready to come to earth.  We miss you sweet little boy.

My First Comment

So yesterday I finally got my first comment on my page.  I am so excited...it means I am finally moving up in the world lol.  now if everybody could make a bunch of comments that would be awesome because it is a spiritual boost in my life to get appraisal from other people.  so come on people make comments share my website and I promise in the next couple of post they will be really interesting to read.

Jackson Cemetery Idaho

So yesterday Jon and I were able to go to the Jackson Cemetery for some pictures.  Most people from the Rupert Idaho area are like there is a cemetery in Jackson?  To answer this little question yes there is a cemetery it is very small and it holds pioneers of that time in there.  Earlier this morning I found out that there are 17 people buried out there.  I found this out on Findagrave.com.  Hopefully in the next couple of months My Venturing group and the Boy Scouts will all be able to go and help clean this cemetery because it sure needs a lot of work.  but here are the pictures we were able to take.

Zumba Day

So who is ready to start a new chapter in their lives?  I know I am and that is by being healthy.  I am getting healthy by going to zumba on mondays and wednesdays and i believe that this is the best work out ever...i feel happier healthier and do I dare more amazing...this is day three of my Zumba challenge and I would love to share it with everybody around.

I'm sorry but no make up on 

Family Home Evening

So last night it was my turn to do family home evening and when it is just Jon and I it is very hard to find something that we can both do that is spiritual so thank you to Pintrest I was able to find something that this family had done and that is by making a poster for there home of the Scripture Doctrine and Covenants 88:119 which reads:  Organize yourselves: prepare every needful thing and establish a House even a house of prayer a house of fasting a house of faith a house of learning a house of glory a house of order a house of God.
so for our activity we made Mini posters of this scripture.  Jon was a house that it didn't have words it had symbols mine was of the words but it was cheery because i colored the main words and my thinking about that is that heavenly father wants us to be happy and finding happy colors in an every day object can easily put a smile on your face.  This was a great activity for both of us and I think we can all take something from this.

our poster together mine has the tree Jon is the House

Lazy Days

Today is a lazy day.  Im sitting home working on my blog and thinking I should really put my laundry away...or I should vacuum the floor or clean the kitchen, but I have a feeling it won't happen today maybe tomorrow.  I did however manage to transfer laundry in the washer and the dryer and gather all the laundry that needs to be washed.  but I don't want the laundry to be sitting on my couch so i guess I will have to fold them and put them away and the floor looks like they need to be vacuumed so I guess they should be vacuumed.  today is an extremely lazy day.

The temple

Tonight I was able to go to the Twin Falls temple.  It has been several months since going and when I

was there it felt like my first time all over again, but because of that I was able to learn new stuff there.  Jon didn't go with me to the temple because of some things I felt like this is how my world is going to be without him if he doesn't make it to the celestial kingdom.  I beg and plead go to the temple even if you feel like you are not worthy just go because that is Satan telling you that you are no good to go to the temple.  Because I had chosen to go there was suppose to be a big snow storm and I had driven right in the middle of it and I had the option of turning back and going another day I decided no you are not going to win I am.  right after that the weather stopped and when I got out of the temple there was no snow or Ice on the ground.  A very small victory but it was the right thing to do.

Being Organized

I am not the most organized person here on the face of the earth, in fact I am kinda lazy about doing stuff, so this past October I was given the opportunity to go to Wood Badge which is training for Boy Scouts.  I am a Venturer which is part of the Boy Scouts if you guys don't know what it is.  We have one ticket that we are going for and with this one ticket we have five goals and one of my goals was to get organized so my new favorite place to go for organization stuff is the Dollar Tree.  I can almost find anything I want there and I found these containers that are great for organizing my bathroom my kitchen and my living room.  For my kitchen it literally took me less than five minutes to put everything together and now under my sink is all organized.  In my bathroom I got two organizing trays and I love it.  It took me forever to go through all my bathroom stuff but I am so organized in there that even my husband can follow my simple organizing patters.  and I have one drawer that I am not even using...to me that is amazing.  for my living room it was pretty close to being organized but I have these built in book shelves that I have been storing my coats and stuff in and I would shove the coats in an quickly shut the cabinet shut now I don't even have to do that any more.  I had and a heating closet that has the heater in and then a little bit of space so I got a coat hook, hooked it on the door and hung up the coats and stuff.  In our living room because my house is very small our office is in the living room and I hate it when the desk is always a mess so I got a three drawer cabinet and I put labels on them.  the top one is bills, the second drawer is file and then the third drawer is receipts.  this has made my desk so organized and I can find anything that I need.  Now most of my house is organized.  Need to work on my bed room and the laundry room.  good luck to me for that.  I am also thinking about organizing the car.

The main reason why I wanted my home to be more organized is that I see these Molly Mormons and there clean homes and perfect children and when I walk into there homes I feel the spirt more closely and it is almost like walking into the temple.  I want my home to feel like that I want to wake up and feel like my home could be the temple and to feel the Holy Ghost so much closely.  With a clean home it could welcome the spirit and we could have a clean mind and body, like when we were baptized all of our sins were washed away and we were cleaned every bit.  So those who are struggling to become organized and stay organized there is hope.  True in the Lord with all your might mins and strength and it will happen.

This is my kitchen sink.  Everything has a home now under my kitchen.

My coat closet that is in my heater closet. 

Under my bathroom sink.  The blue container holds what I use on a daily bases like my curling iron and my straighter also my hairbrush and there  is a bag of my every day make up its not all my make up because i don't use all of it in one day so it is in a separate bag and then the red basket has girly supplies and then my cleaning stuff in the back that i am thinking about moving to the kitchen.

Zumba

Yesterday I went to Zumba...had a blast and I enjoyed it because it was dancing.  Not the dancing that I normally do but it was still dance and it was a great work out.  Since getting married I have put on a little bit of weight...my husband is like were?  when I first got married I was 95 pounds since being married I have put on like 15-20 pounds which is good for my size but how I gained it is not right.  Not eating right eating fast food and candy.  Heavenly father has asked us to take care of our bodies because they are our temple.  I remember in church one time that I was given a sharpie marker and a picture of the temple and i was told I could draw on that picture.  I didn't want to because it was the temple.  The logic of the sharpie is that our bodies are temple we do not need to cover it by tattoos or piercings or anything that would harm our bodies.  We need to take care of it.  It is a gift from our Heavenly father.  We rejoiced to come down to earth from heaven to receive this body.
So those who are trying to get back into shape I encourage you and if it is Zumba keep trying and if you mess up and fall on your butt you just do your thing and keep on moving...also a word of advice don't take a shower after Zumba and then fall asleep your going to be stiff I sure am lol...but it is just a reminder that I am going to be in shape for my heavenly father.

My Story

So everybody has asked...how did you guys meet...well short version ex boyfriend cheated on me with one of my friends and so I messaged a friend we fell in love and bam we got married and we lived happily ever after.  So here comes the long story that is rather to boring not believe able or what ever the opinions but here is our story.

My sister we will call her Alice is big into rodeo competitions that has everybody on there toes with her crazy ideas about being the next rodeo teen queen.  The friends we have made by borrowing there horses happen to be really good friends with girl  named Ashley, who happens to be Oakley teen queen a few years back.  They became friends and she helped Alice get into shape and help her with her competition that she was currently in.  By being friends with this girl she was able to meet her family, including her brother Jon.  My sister was talking to him and my mother was like oh you guys are going to get married because I guess the day that my sister got to meet Ashley was the day of stake conference and her brother Jon came and spoke, and my mother thought to herself that one of her girls is going to marry him, she thought it might have been my sister Alice...at the time she wasn't even old enough to date.  At the time I had become good friends with Ashley and her family (not her brother yet)  that she invited us over to her daughter's birthday party. So I went and got to meet Jon.  I thought to myself he is good looking...to bad I'm dating somebody else so I saw him from afar.  Well things happened and we started talking to each other and then I just stopped because at the time I was dating somebody else and I felt like it wasn't right to be talking to another guy while dating the other guy so I kinda cut ties with him.  After a few months October came around and I ended up breaking up with this guy that I was dating because he broke my heart (In a fake tearfull voice) that I felt alone.

I decided I need some help and that I needed a friend so I sent Jon a Text message.  We were talking and it happened to be a Monday and for those who are in the single branch that means FHE that was the last place I wanted to go but somehow he convinced me to go and so he picked me up at a store and off we went.  I found out that night that we liked some of the same music and that he was wanting to go on a mission and so on and so forth.  Two weeks later after talking to each other it took him forever to ask me if I wanted to be his girlfriend.  When Thanksgiving came along we wanted to surprise everybody that we were engaged...ya I know that was really fast.  He introduced me to his mother "Mom this is my fiancé"  she looked at him and was like I didn't know you were dating.  everybody welcomed me into there home and Ashley was so happy that I was going to be part of her family.  At the time he was still wanting to go on a mission and they declined him three times to go on a mission, so we didn't know if I was going to have to wait for him to get off his mission or what, but I told him he can go if it is the right thing to do.  He was able to go to the temple and after he went he sent me a text message saying how does February sounds.  I was confused about what he was asking me.  (kinda Blond you know) but then it dawned on me he is asking me to marry him.  So we told our families and we started preparing to get married.

when I went to threw the temple for the first time I went to the Twin Falls Idaho temple and his parents was able to come with us to get my endowments out and it was such a blessing to have them there because I knew that In a few short weeks I was going to be sealed to them.  We were going to wait to get married in February but things just didn't feel right so we moved it to January.  I think that was kinda stressful to my mother but I had most of it planned out anyway.  January came and we were married in the Saltlike temple.  We have now been married a whole year and we have so much love for each other that words can not explain how much love we have.
