New Hobby.

When I was little my mom tryed so hard to teach my sister and I how to sew.....and we had no interest in it at all. Well I don't know what happened but my sister and I are now interested and learning how to sew.

 For Christmas I wanted to make something special for our friends kids. So I found a couple patterns online for FREE! Yay! With the help from my wonderful mom. We made a toddler back pack for the little boy.

And a little purse for the little girl.

I also made this pretty flower to put on the purse!

I have to say....I think they turned out adorable! My next project is a apron. Wish me luck :)

Four years!

On December 16th we celebrated our four year anniversary!

Where has the time gone? Last I remember I was 21 putting on a white dress, staring into my husbands eyes while he cried happy tears....(well at least I hoped they were happy tears....he could have been staring at me thinking. I am now with her forever and will have to forever laugh at her lame jokes. I still think my turkey joke is the best.) while we promised each other forever. We have had a great four years. We have grown together, laughed together and annoyed each other. Best of all....we are still crazy about each other.

We had a great anniversary.....every year we go to the melting pot for the full on dinner....( I tryed duck for the first time....I am not a fan.) then followed by a walk through the neighborhood called Winter Haven. The whole neighborhood decorates there houses for Christmas and it is alot of fun to walk through to see all the lights. This year we were unable to go see the lights because of rain....but we hope to see them another day.

We had a great day and are looking forward to the many more years to come!

Being Thankful.

Sometimes I find my self focusing on the negative things going on in my life.....so I decided to write about the things I am grateful for :)

I am grateful for my siblings. They all make me laugh and we all love to be around each other...I love that about us.

I am grateful for my sister. I love that no matter what, we are best friends and can talk every day about nothing....I think we just miss sharing a room :)

I am grateful for my parents. They are my best buddies....I love what they have done for me and what they continue to do for Jeff and I...We love you guys :) (sorry mom I don't have a pic of you guys for some reason)

I am grateful for my nieces and nephews! They always bring a smile to my face!
I am grateful for Jeff's family. They treat me like there own and they are very special people. They raised one great guy!

I am grateful for Grandma DeMoss. I miss my grandmas that are in heaven. I think about them daily and it makes me sad that they are gone. I love that when I call her grandma she gets excited just like my grandma's did. Just makes me feel good.

I am grateful for my friends. You all know who you are....you make my life great!

The thing I am most grateful for is this guy.............

He is truly my whole heart. He is one great person. He can make me laugh, fix my problems, and drive me crazy. But best of all he truly loves me like crazy.

I hope every one has a great ThanksGiving! Remember to be thankful for the many blessing we have! :)

El Tour de Tucson 2010.

Jeff has always loved cycling and the past couple of years have talked about doing the Tour de Tucson. The Tour de Tucson has been going on for 28 years. The race is 109 miles long and goes in a big circle around Tucson.

Jeff was really excited to do the Tour this year. We were a little nervous he wouldn't be able to do it this year because his knee has been giving him some problems. But the doctor said it was a go. The race started at seven in the morning. We got up bright and early to get downtown by five. There were 4600 people doing the 109 miles this year.....it was a pretty crazy sight.

I was able to drive to a couple of spots in town and see him pass by! Mike, Bekah and there kids made Jeff a sign and was able to see him with me. Jeff really loved that.

I waited for him at the finish line.....He completed the race in 6 hours and 47 minutes! I'm very proud of him. He did such a amazing job!!! I am looking forward to watching him next year!

A wonderful break.

As Most of you all know, Jeff and I have been doing fertility treatments. It has been one experience that has brought us closer together and we have both grown from.

We have decided to take a break from the treatments. They were not working and it was allot of physical and mental stress on both of us. We thought alittle break would be good for us.

My testimony of God has grown allot the past few months. I have had many wonderful and touching experiences that has help me know that he is there and he is hearing me. It is pretty amazing how he can communicate with you.

I was struggling with how I didn't know if he heard me. For a week I couldn't stop thinking about that. I was sitting in relief society. I often sit by my self. ( I like it that way lol.) We had a new teacher and she did a get to know people activity. As I'm sitting there thinking "I hate when we have to do these things." I smiled at my little group and help with the little assignment. She wanted us to pick a scripture that has had a impact in our life and if we felt like sharing we could. I'm not very good at studying the scriptures, so none jumped out at me. So to look like I was actually doing something I just opened the scriptures and for some reason I picked the middle of the page to start reading. and this was the scripture

"Waiting patiently on the lord, for your prayers have entered into the ears of the lord of the sabaoth, and are recorded with this seal and testament-the lord hath sworn and decreed that they shall be granted" D&C 98:2

This has helped me understand that he really does hear me and that he really does love me. I am truly grateful for that moment. It has helped me be more positive and understand that my prayers are important. Isn't Faith wonderful!

Summer 2010!

Jeff and I had one great summer. We got to go to two family weddings, have his family visit, go to Vegas with some friends and a surprise trip to Disneyland!

Jeff and I were going through allot of stress in our lives. So Jeff decided we needed a break and we took a quick weekend trip to Disneyland. It was such a great surprise! I love Disneyland!We were able to go see the ocean and have some yummy fish tacos, then we spent the day at Disneyland! (If you are able to make it there,.....the world of color show in Ca adventure its truly amazing!) It was one great weekend! I mean come on....... how can Mickey not relieve stress? :)

Fertility meds + Sarah = Embarassment.

Jeff and I have been trying to have a baby for about two years. After a year of no luck, We went to see the doctor.The doctor ran many test and put me on many meds. The doctor was unable to find out what was wrong and pretty much gave up on me. So Jeff and I decided it was time to find a new doctor and He is wonderful! He sent me to a fertility spec. and that's were we are today.

We found out I don't ovulate, and we found out that Jeff has great swimmers.....(He is very proud of this....no joke he made a announcement to my family to brag about it lol) We started off the first month....everything went really well, the meds were working and we were very hopeful....The end of the month came and we didn't luck out. We are both very positive about this whole situation and we are looking forward to starting this next month.

So the point of this post is to let everyone know what is going on and to tell you about my funny experience I have had so far on this journey. Maybe someone will get a laugh out of it ( I know my mother did :) )

I'm on my second round of fertility meds and this month had been alittle different then the last. I only got hot flashes last month ( I must say I feel sorry for older women....hot flashes are no fun)
So this month....I got the emotion of wanting to cry all the time... So cut to Me in church sitting in relief society with my sister in law Becca and her son Aiden. They asked if I could say the closing prayer and I cringed as always...I get so nervous! The lesson was on Jesus Christ. During the lesson I was mostly thinking about what I was going to say during my prayer and watching my cute nephew.
The end of the lesson comes and my heart starts to race... it was my turn to get up there and say the prayer. So I start "Our dear heavenly father"...and right then I started to sob...I mean ugly cry sob....as I'm standing there struggling to get the rest of the prayer out and thinking what is wrong with me! This is so embarrassing! It was probably the shortest prayer I have ever said....I opened my eyes and there is Becca looking at me with a huge grin and with big eyes. I just sat next to her, cryed more and said these stupid fertility meds they make me look like I'm crazy and we both laughed.

The two good things that came from this:
1. Some of the women told me that was a beautiful prayer. And thanked me.
2. I will have a good story to tell our future child what I went through to have them.
