Colorado

Nick and I had the opportunity to go see a Colorado Avalanche game this past weekend. It was a great game, despite them losing in overtime. We also had the opportunity to go visit my Aunt and Uncle while we were there. They spoiled us rotten. We sure wish they lived closer to us. This past Tuesday was my beautiful mommy's birthday. So last night we went to dinner and told stories about her and about our childhood. Man I am so blessed with my family. A few of the highlights (inside jokes) "I forgot there were stairs"
Brandon"Who's that" Rachel "Jesus Christ" Mom back hands Rachel thinking shes swearing. "Jarron dont climb on that fence/cathouse/anything" "I dare you to hit me" Mom: Randi Clean your room Me: No Mom: Excuse me? Me: I said No. Mom: You're gonna get in trouble. Me: We'll see about that. Mom: We'll see about what? Me: When MY daddy gets home, he'll clean it for me. Mom: Rolls Eyes. Dad: Comes home and cleans my room :) We had such a fun childhood. I wouldnt trade it or my family for the world.

take my hand, together we can do it im gonna love you through it..

So I have a new favorite song. It talks about a woman with breast cancer and her husband is so sweet and supportive. My favorite line is when she says I cant handle it anymore the song says then he took her in his arms and said that's what my love is for cause when you're weak I'll be strong when you let go I 'll hold on when you need to cry I swear that I 'll be there to dry your eyes. when you feel lost and scared to death like you cant take one more step, just take my hand together we can do it. I'm gonna love you through it. This song reminds me of my sweet husband. He is always there for me. He is my rock and he holds my world together. I love you so.much, baby! I couldn't have asked for a better eternal sweetheart!!!

"Whatever our calling, regardless of our fears or anxieties, let us pray and then go and do!"

About 2 months ago I was called in to teach the Valiant 9 class in my wards primary. I thought easy, no sweat. They are young, and will hang on every word. Which is mostly true, however I have learned so much from these sweet kids. One of the most important lessons I have learned is patience. I remember talking to Nick after being called, my only worries were patience, and my anxiety. I got called in to be set apart for this new adventure and the first words of his blessing were "Sister Weight, we bless you with the courage and patience to teach the Lords children" I was absolutely breathless. I knew I needed this, but how did Brother Fil know? It was incredible. Then Nick got set apart as the Sunday School Secretary, in his blessing they told him to love and cherish his wife. So needless to say almost every day since than I tell him to get me a drink or a snack or something and end with "Bishop says to cherish me so you better do it or im telling" Yes im a 5 year old at heart. dont hate. It doesn't work anymore anyway :)

Life is pretty much the same around here. I work full time. Nick works full time and goes to school whenever he's not at work. I miss him. haha.

We are remodeling our kitchen now that the basement is finished. First thing to go? The nasty linoleum. Nicks Dad and Jake have been such troopers helping with EVERYTHING. And I am so proud of my cute hubby for all of his hard work and willingness to learn. We have most of the cement board down now, just a few more pieces than we get to lay out the tile. I love that our house is slowly becoming a home.

We have been going to the temple alot more lately. And it has made me realize how blessed I am. I am sealed to my best friend and the love of my life FOREVER. I cant even imagine life without him. He is my rock. And I cant wait to start a family with him, and grow old and gray together. ♥

Count your blessings, name them one by one....

So as you can tell from my previous posts, I am trying to be more spiritual this year. If your not religious, you can stop reading, but I will be posting more spiritual things on here. I have been thinking about how blessed I am lately. I have a house, a car, 2 dogs, a job. I have clean sheets to sleep on. A washer and a dryer to keep my clothes clean and dry. I have a garage to keep my car clean and dry. I have a roof over my head to keep that warm and dry. I have an incredible husband, who, for some odd reason, loves me even more on my bad days. Its the little things in life I take for Granted. I just figure, the house just happened, the washer and dryer just happened. No. Our jobs helped us pay for those things. Without our jobs (which we tend to complain about) We would not have the so called luxury of owning a home. I complain about cleaning and doing laundry constantly. There are people living on the streets in rags, and im complaining cause the house gets too warm when I have the oven and the stove on at the same time. Rough life, right? I am sooo grateful for my blessings. I definitely dont deserve most of them. I have decided to put things in that perspective for the rest of the year! Yeah housework sucks, so does yardwork, but it means I have a house and a yard, which not many people have. I am blessed beyond measure. I hate that I take these things for granted so much. Where would I be without them? I am also thankful for my best friends. First there is Rach who I can call anytime, anywhere, I can vent to her, cry to her, yell at her. But no matter what we will always be best friends. I love you seester. Then there is Jaynee, she is my sanity, and one of the most incredible people I've ever met in my life. She hasnt had the easiest life, but her chin is always up, and she is always more worried about you than herself. She always knows when to text me, or message me on MSN when im having a bad day. She always knows the right words to say. She has helped me more than she realizes. Love you Woman!

My fairytale ♥

My life is seriously so freakin awesome! I have the best friends and family in the world, I have the best job in the world, I have the gospel in my life, and a husband who WORTHILY holds the priesthood. Yeah my life is awesome! Today while witnessing a trust one of my bosses said "Let me do introductions, this is so and so and this is Randi, our paralegal, she keeps us in business and is our better half" after the last few days, i was feeling pretty useless, since im so new (5 months) i dont know how to do everything, but im learning, so it felt good to hear that I was doing a good job :) Work has been busy, but awesome. I love my job! Life other than that is same ol' same ol'. Work, sleep, eat, sleep, work, etc.

Then just like me you'll know... HE WAS HERE!

I love love love this time of year. The spirit in the air, the spoiling my family rotten, the time I get so spend with my family (Brandon is coming in from Washington, and I get to meet his new partner :) and Adam is coming in from California with his new Girlfriend) I cant wait. This year, Christmas has been a little different for us. We decided to get a REAL tree, rather then a plastic one, lets just say I have a new RESPECT for my daddy. Its SO frustrating getting all the lights and ornaments and everything perfect. (without freaking out) (sorry baby) Also I have been trying to get in the right mindset this year. This Forgotten Carol is definitely helping :

The flock was more than peaceful
The night was dark and deep
The stillness wrapped around me
I drifted off to sleep
And when my friends awoke me
Oh, what a tale they had to tell

They said the angels told them
About a newborn King
They had a star to guide them
They heard the heavens sing
They said that when they found Him
They knew they'd never be the same

Somehow I did believe them,
Though everything I knew
Said I should not believe them
This story can't be true
But there was something magic
In the air
That made me feel as if
I had been there

I asked a thousand questions
Their answers startled me
The more I heard,
The more I thought I knew
This cannot be
And then the struggle started,
My head was wrestling with my heart.

Why would a God from Heaven
Come to the world this way?
Why in a lowly stable
Would the Messiah lay?
I shook my head and asked them
To tell the story one more time

Yes I did believe them
Though I'd not seen a thing
I did not go to Bethlehem
Or hear the angels sing
But there was something magic
In the air
That made me feel as if
I had been there

I knew that as the world moves on
through time
There would be more stories
just like mine
About the souls who've chosen
to believe
In something that they never
got to see

Do you think you'll join us
Though you've not seen a thing?
You were not there in Bethlehem
To hear the angels sing
But if you feel the spirit
In the air
Then just like me you'd know

That He was here
He was here
The King of kings
And Lord of lords was here
(He was here)
He was here, he was here
(He was here)
And He will come again,
For He was here.
(The King of kings)
(The Lord of lords)
-(He was here)
(The King of kings)
(and Lord of Lords was here)
-(He was here)
(The King of kings)
(The Lord of lords)
-(He was here)
(The King of kings)
(and Lord of Lords was here)

And He will come again
For He was here
For He was here
