I live in Provo-studying & working at BYU. I am very blessed & very grateful for my life. I thrive on fun and happy things. If a five-year old loves it, most likely I do too! I love & miss my family & friends back home in Gilbert. I LOVE the book "Lighten Up!" by Cheiko Okazaki. In it she includes a quote by Mother Teresa that has become my mantra: "I always say I'm a little pencil in the hands of God. He does the thinking. He does the writing. He does everything- and it's really hard- sometimes it's a broken pencil. He has to sharpen it a little more. But be a broken instrument in his hands so that he can use you anytime, anywhere.... We have only to say yes to him."
