I am the most reliable person that many people know. However, I am not the most reliable person I know. As a self employed stay at home single mother I am acutely aware at how Heavenly Father blesses my family each and every day.

His promises are real and everlasting. I am striving to do my part and enjoy the strength and peace that comes with keeping my covenants and working my way to the temple. Soon there will be a packed endowment session filled with my closest friends and family over joyed for me. I have never gone through before.

I spent most of my adult life dating outside the church. Which means Heavenly Father has had to teach me directly many of the lessons and testimony I have gained through trials and hardship.

I am grateful for Him. For His Son Jesus Christ, and the LOVE they inspire me to give... as a parent, friend, teacher, servant, and some day an eternal companion. There in, is safety for MY soul.

My joys are cooking, reading cook books/blogs, listening to general authorities talks, and being a busy mother and my own boss.

I also enjoy vacations and going to new places. I am not afraid to live anywhere on this planet. Some people need to be exactly where God needs them to be and I am willing to go there.

I have learned the lesson to love all of God's children to see them as he sees them. So there is no fear for me in new places. Each place has its refuge: The quiet, subtle spots that remind me of home; that I will search out and treasure. In Springville, UT it was the mountain turning liquid gold outside my window (Just like it did in Albuquerque) at sunset.

Life always has beauty and courage to gather. I firmly believe in the plan of happiness and I am living that plan.
