Have you ever....

...been so offended you want to cry? That you can't sleep because all you can think about is everything you want to say? Felt so betrayed by someone close?

I HATE NEGATIVE BLOGS, but I really have felt so hurt and I am not sure what to do or say?

Then I start thinking I am the one who could be in the wrong, because I read David A. Bednar's talk.

What should I do? Have any of you been in the same place? I truly hate these feelings! Help!

Dear Sister Sarah Huber Anderson

My cute little Huber. You are going to Peru soon and the Missionary Training Center in about 36 hours and you are going to knock all of those pre-pubescent Elders out of the water! You are going to be one of the sweetest, smartest, most entertaining Hermonas. I have always looked up to you and there is something about you that draws people in. Everyone loves you! You have this special glow about you that radiates through to others. You are always standing up for the under dog and for the right. You have a gorgeous smile, that most everyone is familiar with, because you use it. Continue to, even on those rainy days. You are motivated and intelligent. Grow in the gospel. Come home and show off those skills. You are a very positive woman. I don't think I can recall anything negative that has come out of your mouth. As I think about you, I think of the beautiful Audrey Hepburn. She once said...

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others."



You were born to a great family. They taught you very well and I know you already emulate those qualities. Remember Heavenly Father loves you. I do too! You are one of the most Christ-like people I know. Go share with the Sweet Peruvians what life is all about!

Don't you love...

...DAYS OFF?

I had a few months of time off, but I recently got a new job as a Phlebotomist at Foothill Family Clinic, and now I love those days off! I have seriously enjoyed it so much! But I have today off and now I am wondering what to do? I have a few ideas....

Paint my nails
Bake a cake
Play Scrabble
Doodle
Watch kids play on the playground
Write letters
Dig into a great book
Google
Work on my Valentines project


I could clean, but let's save that for tomorrow when I get back to real life!

Hmmm... Any other ideas?

Busted!

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful apartment! It is up in the married student housing at the University of Utah. I have LOVED living here for the past 5 weeks! We have a darling little place! We have the sweetest neighbors, we both work very close to our home, we don't pay ANY utilities (!!!!!)... It couldn't be a better home for us newlyweds!

Tonight, we had our first "oops" moment of living here. We aren't able to park too close to our apartment (the good part about that, is more exercise!) , so oft times we will park in the "Fire Lane", by the curb and run all of our million boxes and bags in, and then run and move it into a stall. After we had lugged in two large, extra heavy boxes, we forgot to run back out and move the car. And even close the doors! All the doors were open! We were expecting to run in drop it off and then go to a wedding reception. We got a little more excited about our new kitchen table and new microwave I guess and didn't come back out to the car for about 3 hours! We totally spaced that we didn't move the car.

We walk out in a hurry to get to this reception, and I look up as we turn the corner and see the driver's door wide open. "Umm... Honey?", Matt was just as surprised, "Oh yeah. I never came to close the doors." We continue getting closer to the car and look up to see a police car facing our car and the cop just getting out and walking out to the car. OH NO!

He asks us how long we had been parked there, and I think Matt tried to stretch it and say 45 minutes.

"Well, do you know it is illegal to park in the fire lane?"

He basically told us they had been trying to get a hold of us and move this car because he has had a few different people call the police on it. We just apologized and told him we had been moving boxes in and out. After the cop gave a nice warning, he was on his way.

I get in the front seat and notice all of Matt's papers and ID from his glove box out. I was still replaying what had happened and start laughing and panicking all at the same time. Such a funny night!

We are driving downtown and Matt gets a call from his brother, who is staying at his parents house, asking why we had the University of Utah Campus Police calling looking for us. I felt like such a little criminal! His brother explains the police had kept calling them trying to locate us and weren't successful, so I guess Matt's brother started to freak out a little bit, but we had several messages from the police department, and I kept thinking "Oh man! I will just move my car next time and not be so lazy!"

I guess if I ever go missing, the campus police will be all over it! They wont stop until they find me!

I am in love!

It has been over a month since I last blogged and I need to pick it up,
but I just wanted to let you know
I AM IN LOVE!
I am in love with my husband!
More today than I was yesterday or a even month ago....


Yes, I am now Mrs. Wilkinson!

and I love that!
