Going private...
Okay...I don't know quite to put this...The last time someone has left a comment on here other than Kevin was August 19th.
Am I really that boring?
So I'm going private again...

Let me know by Friday...
In the meantime...see the below picks of Shadow and Buddy.

P.S. I had my second test last week...I got a 98%. I didn't post on here what my first test score was...100%. I've been the highest score in my class both times...
23 October 2010
as of late i haven't been much of the blogging mood...i guess you already tell that since my last post was on the 14th. things are going good. work has been really busy. but i'm really enjoying it. i feel a great sense of accomplishment and i feel like i'm really making a difference. i'm still learning a lot about myself and building on my leadership abilities.
school is going good. i had my second test this week. will find out next week what my score was. this class isn't quite as difficult as i thought it would be. as long as i keep up and do a lot of practice time outside of class i feel comfortable with the material. and i'm actually enjoying it. i even had a crazy thought this week that i want to take a higher level chemistry class...crazy i know for a girl who only took a five week summer school chemistry class during high school and did everything to avoid taking that class in college.
kevin started his second round of rotations this week. so for the next six weeks i will be going to church by myself. and hopes to be able to spend sometime with him during the week...outside of his rotations, his work, my work, and my school. it's going to be interesting. but kevin is really enjoying what he is doing. it's hard to believe that he'll graduate this april. i'm so proud of him and all that he has accomplished.
it's hard to believe that it's already the end of october. didn't this month just start? pretty soon it will be thanksgiving and christmas...don't ask me what we're doing for both of those holidays because we still don't know. i would really like to spend time with my family but i don't know if that will be possible.
kaitlyn is now full-on crawling. so wish that i could see her. she's getting so big.
today my best friend at work is having her baby. so excited for her. so a trip into phoenix might be in order later on so i can finally meet the new arrival.
our kitties are still keeping us very entertained. shadow and bear are getting so big. bear is definately kevin's cat. he'll sit on his lap and come to him when he calls. shadow is my cat. she's not one to stay sitting on my lap, or to be totally obedient when i call her, but she is a very sweet kitty. we are so glad we brought them home. buddy is so darn cute. lately he's been on a people food kick. he especially loves dairy products. he loves to lick the bowl of ice cream we've just eaten...or the cup of yogurt. i think we even saw him eating some broccoli. tigger is as hyper as ever. he runs throughout the house. he's so cute. addie is doing great. her ear is fine. she's a sweetie as always. izzy still loves attention...will practically beg for it. annie loves to cuddle with us. this week we brought out our down comforter and she's started wanting to cuddle with us under the comforter. kit kat is still kit kat. our neighbor across the street calls him mr brazil because of kevin's flag that we had hanging during the world cup.
alright...well i guess that's a good update for now. i have a formal lab report that i need to work on as well as master the art of the empirical formula and get ahead for next week.
until next time...

Opposition
Today and yesterday on Facebook I saw that there has been opposition to Elder Packer's talk from General Conference last year from the "world". Then tonight there was a preview of one of the stories on the news and saw that it was about our Church's response regarding homosexuality. And with all the debate over the last little while about this subject it's become quite a topic... I found myself thinking that we are alone in feeling "persecuted" for believing in what we believe.
But then during my scripture reading I came across that helped me to realize that we are not alone - and that many before us have felt the same way. It's found in the book of Helaman and starts in Chapter 7. This is when Nephi, the son of Helaman, returned to Zarahemla and prayed in a garden tower regarding the iniquity of the Nephites. He was surprised to find a group had gathered around to watch him pray. He boldly testified to them of their wickedness and of their great need to repent. The corrupt judges were angry at Nephi's boldness and tried to incite the crowd against Nephi (see chapter 8). Verse 5: "Therefore they [the corrupt judges] did cry unto the people, saying "Why do you suffer this man to revile against us? For behold he doth condemn all this people, even unto destruction; yea, and also that these our great cities shall be taken from us, that we shall have no place in them." Verse 7 and 8: "And it came to pass that thus they did stif up the people to anger against Nephi, and raised contentions among them; for there were some who did cry out: Let this man alone, for he is a good man, and those things which he saith will surely come to pass except we repent; Yea, behold, all the judgments will come upon us which he has testified unto us; for we know that he has testified aright unto us concerning our iniquities. And behold they are many, and he knoweth as well all things which shall befall us as he knoweth our iniquities."
So there were some who did believe in what Nephi said and stood up for what he taught.
Then remember that Nephi prophesied to them of who killed the chief judge even before they knew he was dead - and the events that happened with that. See chapter 9 for all details.
But the point is...Nephi's teachings weren't popular in the world. He was teaching what the Lord told him to teach - he was a servant of the Lord.
Much like Elder Packer is a servant of the Lord and received direction from the Lord to speak on this precious subject of the definition of marriage and the situation in today's world.

Attn all Whittier Folks!
MISSING CAT
SimbaSimba is one of my sister's cats. He hasn't come home in three days. So if you've seen him please let me know. I know it's a long shot but it's worth a shot. My sister lives on Russell...north of Whittier Blvd by the Whittwood Mall.
Don't get him confused with our Tigger...they are both orange tabbies. The above orange tabby is Simba.
Come home Simba!!!!
