I'm a Google GiRL

I've had this (GOOGLE CHROME WEB BROWSER) for a while
now and I LOVE IT! I love Google Chrome. There has only been
1 time that it wouldn't support something i was looking up... but
that's why we all have at least 2 browsers (Internet Explorer,
Moxilla Firefox, Safari, ect) right ;> It's new!

I love Google Chrome! It's clean looking and DIFFERENT!
User friendly for opening a new tab... it saves your top sites
(most frequently used) at your home page and you can assign
it also. It has a Bookmark Bar so you can have EVERYTHING
you want up top. Just a click away! SO NICE! SO COLORFUL!
I had Tibi's theme for a while... paisley and now I've got Kate Space
Colorful stripes! OH it's grand! Just try it out! I guarantee you'll
love it! It's the NEW thing! ;>

http://www.google.com/chrome
Download it here. Try it. If you hate it, (WHICH I won't understand but I'll love you still)
delete it from your computer! Easy as that.
Questions? I'd be happy to help.

Don't be surprised if I have a pet in the future names GOOGLE!
I am SO a Google Girl!
= iGoogle, gmail, blogger, google chrome, google maps...

did the 'Do!

Talk about terrifying! But I did it! And Derek said,
"You should have done that a long time ago!" With a smile.
I'm so glad he likes it! It feels so FREE!
I love shaking my head left and right like the commercials!
I will miss my long hair. I really did like it, but I have had it
long for the majority of my LIFE! It was time for a change.
Chelsea @ 'The Haircut Store' did it! I recommend her!
She was so nice. Cutting lil by lil so I was perfectly happy!

100% Charity. It Never Faileth.

I don't know where to begin...

Tomorrow (Sunday) is our Regional Conference. We were to be honored with President

Monson's presence but unfortunately his wife fell is in the hospital! So he, like a caring

husband should, stayed home to be with her. We understand but are also so sad we will

miss him. The goal of our stake was to present a note to our dear prophet letting him know

that every member of our ward was home or visit taught and invited to hear our prophets

voice! And to have a spiritual message & be reminded that we love them! The

challenge was sincere and worded beautifully. It was an irresistible challenge! All that

heard it were convicted to do their part. And so we had 1 weeks to finish up. This last week!

Monday we heard about the change in plans... that the prophet wouldn't be coming but that

was no reason to end the cause. So our dear friends dedicated themselves to making time

and finding their homes! Making appointments and getting to know each other!

But there were a few. A few that for multiple reasons didn't get taught yet: incorrect contact

information, a miscommunicated change in companionships, and so on. So a few of us were

able to pick up where they left off. We were determined to see our dear sisters. We didn't

want to let the Prophet down, but more importantly we didn't want to leave someone out! So

tonight we felt a little like this video... to the last hour! (11:35pm) We drove down dark streets

trying to find the right addresses! We google chatted to retrieve correct info! We did do a lot

of talking... but can I tell you something? I am so blessed to have been able to visit so many

of my new friends. To feel of the spirit hour after hour. To learn about the sacrifices of my sisters.

To hear their love stories and what brought them here. I have more than just a name. I have a

face. But more than just a face with a name I have more friends. I got to know these sisters.

We honestly didn't try to rush. We believed we could find everyone. It could be done. If we had

rushed we would have been done a lot faster, but that wasn't the point. I hope these sisters felt

loved. I hope they didn't feel like just a number or a percentile. Because, sure. We are all one.

But it was so much more than that for us.

Thank you sisters, for letting us stop by! For letting us get to know you! For sharing your

testimonies and laughter with us! I honestly learned more from those 3 talks that Jenny referred

to than I ever would have if I just read it 1 time. Each sister brought out a different point. Had a

different perspective and I could see how it applied to them... through their experiences. I was

reminded of things that I need to work on. I saw their examples! These woman are virtuous!

They are praise worthy and seeking after these things. Even feeling the spirit from someone

who prayed in a different language. We had that as a "barrier" (not sharing the same language)

but instead of hearing the words of her prayer I listened to her Spirit. How sweet it was! I know

that she believes in the gospel. That she loves God! I felt it. I didn't hear it. That is the pure love

of Christ. These ladies I see every week are phenomenal!

What else did I learn? We all need to try harder. I know that I could do this again next month

(it would be hard to coordinate) but it would be selfish of me to not share the Spirit I felt tonight!

Nobility. I am thankful for the organization of Visiting Teaching. I hope you can see the benefits

and love the cause! I am thankful for YOU!

XOXOXoxoXo :D

"Baa-bee!" -exclamined Mama JoJo

"AWWWWWHHHHHH!"

Derek & I found Jocelyn asleep like this!

So the reason I said that Jocelyn might not return Lili's baby doll is because she has held it 24-7 since she "adopted" her! Don't believe me? Here is proof! It is soooo cute! It's amazing how soon they pick up these kinds of things!
