An Invite for Bug Bites

 Idaho is beautiful.
Usually, when I think of Idaho, I think Napeloen Dynamite.
Dirt. Llamas and Pedro.
But 3 hours north of Idaho Falls, is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen!
I didn't get to go inside, but I saw the Idaho Falls temple...
STUNNING!
Where we camped was very close to a small town called Hailey.
1/2 of it is owned by Bruce Willis!
Tons of famous people have cabins and summer homes up near that area!
One of them = Tom Hanks.
Below: Picture of a drive by shooting of his home:
It took 6 hours from Springville to get to where we were going.
So of course, I kept myself busy by doodling.
Here is an example of the doodles that I doodled:
When we got there, at the cabin.
I think a radar went out to all the bugs:
"Fresh Meat!!!"
(also known as... ME.)
You may think the below image is of my elbow.
NOPE. It's my very first bug bite/s
As most of you know, I am planning on being a Nanny this coming fall
(which I am VERY excited for!)
So throughout this entire week, I was with the children for most of the time.
My heart felt so... FULL.
Below are some photos of the precious angels.
(who weren't always precious!)
They were very ... cute.
One thing that I did with the older kids, was draw pictures on their fingers!
(genius right!!?)
They loved doing that! 
All in all,
Learning Experience.
But good, I just continued in reading my scriptures DAY & NIGHT 
I didn't want to chance anything :)
If you have never gone to Idaho.
Do it.
It's worth it.

April Showers bring May Flowers

Aloha world.
So much has been on my mind, but especially gratitude. I am SO thankful for so much.
I am thankful that I could be an instrument in God's hands to serve others.
I am even grateful for the trials. I am who I am because of them. And the coolest part, is not feeling bitter, just grateful.
Brigham Young said: "There is not a single condition of life and not one hour's experience but what it is beneficial to all those who it their study, and aim to improve upon the experience they gain."
God is in the details of our lives and knows us perfectly. I just want to make him proud.
Sorry this has been kind of random, but I'm just.... thankful.

After (now):
