Journal?

22 Weeks



First, I would like to thank all of you who participated in my fill-in-the-blank assignment. The assignment is now complete! I appreciate it.

In my religion class this semester I have committed to writing in a journal 4 days a week. Though I am not a devout blogger, I do blog more than I write in my journal. Pitiful, I know. So, my 'journaling' will be taken to the digital world for all to read! Welcome to my life.

For my first entry I would like to record how blessed I am. Not because I'm married to my best friend, not because I'm a mother-to-be, not because I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints, and not because this is my last semester of school. Today, I am extremely grateful that my Father in Heaven is aware of the little things in my life.

I have a self-portrait collage (see below) due in my Adv. Visual Media class on Thursday, and I have had no time to work on it. Basically, I had to take new pictures for this project and be creative. I was so stressed and I knew I couldn't finish it in time. However, the Lord helped me every step of the way. He helped me brainstorm...and quickly. I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father is aware of more than just my gospel pursuits (I know, I know... all things are spiritual... but still, you know what I mean). He is aware of the every day happenings in my life. Isn't that amazing? I feel so blessed to have the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. I am so grateful for personal, everyday, revelation.


This design doesn't have a lot of creativity, but it's finished! There was A LOT of photo editing that went into the picture (crappy weather). Also, the text is filled with other pictures I took (basically different colors of wood). Then the flower to the right is just a photoshop brush. Whew... it doesn't look like it, but it took awhile!

I love that picture! You look so much like your mom! I just think you are the cutest pregnant woman! And I know this is so random, but I had a dream about your family last night! Maybe it was because I was reading Lacys blog yesterday, but it was so crazy! It just reminded me of old times in good old South Jordan. Im so glad that we are keeping in touch through blogs:)
