Life is Crazy but Good!!!

So there are so many things going on in my life that could make a person go crazy(no need to go into details) but thank goodness for the good news of the Gospel, and that we can still Celebrate the life of the Savior in the Easter Holiday! Also, thank goodness for good Mom's who know how to de-stress their kids! Each weekend is like a sanctuary ( I guess in a way, a way to run from life) to get way from the things of the world. This weekend was especially nice because we went down to our Hometown in California, (Huntington Beach) and spent a few days there visiting old friends and neighbors, I am so glad that I have California roots! We also went to Disney, LA, Long Beach/the Queen Mary, one of my favorite places to visit ghosts:). I have so many good memories of growing up of these places. It is amazing how places can grow on a person, I have come to love each place I have lived in!

My AMAZING Brother, Elder Spurrier!

I got a letter from my brother this week, and it contained some pictures of the experiences he has been having in the Netherlands. He has hit his one year mark, I am having a hard time believing that he has been out that long, it still seems like just yesterday he was getting his call! I still remember how he was up at USU for his first semester, I was at SUU and My Mom and my sister Alisa, were in St. George. It was around Thanksgiving when the letter arrived, we ended up meeting at Applebee's in Salt Lake, and he opened up his call and said..."I have been called to open up the Baghdad mission...Just kidding I will be going to the Belgium Brussels Mission..." We all thought he was just kidding again! Then he goes as he was laughing, "No I am not kidding, I will be speaking Dutch!" It was such an awesome night just talking about it and seeing the excitement in his voice and face! And now he has been out for a year and is in leadership and a trainer! Time Flies!
