Life...

...has been busy lately. I know it's been a gazillion years since I've posted. So the things that have been going on in my life are ...

* I have been enjoying going to the temple. Since I've becomed endowed I have felt a love for my Savior and my Heavenly Father that I've never felt before. Being able to enter His holy house and do the work that we do in the temple has been such an incredible blessing in my life. I have been going at least once a week to the temple and a majority of the time I go with my friend Renae or my other friend Rikayla. I love being able to do temple work and like I said it's been such an incredible blessing.

* I went to Adrian's soccer game for the first time a couple weeks ago (I've been busy on Saturdays lately) so I haven't been able to go and I wanted to support my nephew with his soccer game. It was a lot of fun. They played a hard team and the score was 1-0 but Adrian is such a great player. Like I said before he is a natural and playing sports has been SO good for him.

* One evening after institute a couple weeks ago I got a call from my friend Parker and he wanted to know if I wanted to go with him to celebrate one of friends birthday. I of course said yes and had a blast

* Adrian is in Cub Scouts and this last week he earned several awards at his pack meeting. He earned his Bobcat and other patches and belt loops. CONGRATULATIONS ADRIAN!!!

One of the things they learned in scouts was about wildlife so one of the activities at the Pack meeting is all family's could pick what animal they wanted to be and make masks and then find 3 facts about them. (The Hartup family were raccoons if you couldn't tell) We were originally going to be wolves but when we finished them they looked more like raccoons =)

As for me...well nothing really new with me...STILL looking for work and it's been really frustrating. But I have faith that whatever is supposed to happen will happen. I know this post has been jammed pack with loads of stuff so....I'll try and keep things updated better.
