Places i want to go

So the other night I was talking to a very good friend of mine. We were talking about going on vacation together somewhere anywhere that’s not Utah, Nevada or Idaho since those have been our meeting spots for the last 2 years. So it got me thinking that I need to make a list of all the places I want to go. . .

1.BOSTON (always have and still want to, I want to go there so bad it hurts)
2. New York /Manhattan
3. New Zealand (I really want to go there and since I’m half New Zealand I feel it’s my duty to go there and see the place that my family has lived. I also would like to go see my grandmothers’ grave).
4. Germany (my aunt just got back from there and she loved it)
5. Paris
6. London
7. Rome
8. Italy
9. I would love to go back to Hawaii ( I lived there when I was younger but I miss it)
10. Australia to visit family (I go often and I am already planning my next trip for Aug).\
11. Tasmania (its part of Australia but I have always want to go there and pick apples)
12. Peru (I hear its really nice down there)
13. Mexico (this isn’t high on my list but only because Mexico scares me for some reason, but I would take a cruise down there).
14. Canada
15. Alaska
16. Hong Kong

17. Irland/Scottland

18 Iceland (my family almost moved there when i was like 12 and so since then i have always wanted to go there).

Places I have been:
1. Almost all the states but I still want to see more of them
2. Australia
3. Hawaii
4. Japan (up and down and all around it)
5. Thailand
6. I have been to Hong Kong for like a day but no big travel the airport is really big!

There are more places that I want to go. If you have anymore suggestions I would love to hear them . . . or if anyone wants to take a trip with me LET ME KNOW!!!!

Not to good at this blogging thing!

So, I am still really new at this blogging thing. Last night I posted a new blog . . . I went to fix some grammar and then next thing I know its gone. No where to be found. This really stinks. I guess you write and learn! I will post again soon.

The STORM before the CONFERENCE

So why is it that whenever conference comes around the stress level increases beyond belief and Satan works extra, extra hard on you?????? I WANT TO BE LIKE; PLEASE CAN I JUST ENJOY CONFRANCE, FOR THE LOVE!!!! My week before conference usually goes something like this. . .

SUNDAY: “Brothers and Sister today is fast Sunday because conference is this next weekend. . . “ ME: O has it come so soon, it just seems like yesterday we had the last conference. I better start preparing more diligently . . . that’s not a quote because even though I want to say that it never comes out like that. It usually sounds something like “Once again I ate on fast Sunday, darn it, I haven’t even had time to go over last conference notes or magazine!”

Monday: I can’t wait for conference this time I’m really going to look for those life changing talks that apply to me. I’m REALLY, REALLY excited.

Tuesday: Man, I’m so glad I don’t have to get dressed up to go to church this weekend, it’s only Tuesday and I’m SPENT.

Wednesday: What conference . . . what’s that? I’m way to busy right now! *papers flying of my desk, phone ringing and answering and forgetting my own name and my position at work*

Thursday: __________________________ . . . This one is blank for a reason because by the time it’s Thursday before conference, I’m so tired, I’m lucky if I can make it to my bed. This is the day that I get my really big challenge . . . where I know it’s wrong but there’s something deep down telling me that I’m good all the time it won’t hurt to just mess up one time or another . . . then after thinking of doing it and then almost doing it or doing; I spend the rest of the day trying to make it better, repenting and saying sorry over and over and over again.

Friday: This is the day that I get up thinking . . . CONFERENCE IS TOMORROW, I CAN’T WAIT but I have so much to do. I have questions to think of. . . I have so much work to do. . . (This Friday will be a little different since I took the day off and it’s PAYDAY). This day I spend a little more time on my knees and a little more time thinking of where I am spiritually. But then I get to work and all blank breaks loose. I end up going to bed way late and thinking I can’t sleep in. (all though this year I am in Nevada so I will get to sleep in).

This seems to be the pattern of the week before conference. Some might say that I bring this on myself. . . I say MAYBE but I like to see it as I’m just spiritually drained and need to fill my lamp, and conference is my way of getting through the next 6 months of my life. AND LET ME TELL YOU WITH THIS JOB I MIGHT NEED CONFERENCE EVERY 3 MONTHS.
