Christmas.

This evening I am preparing a lesson that I have to teach in Young Womens on Sunday. While preparing I watched the 2010 First Presidency Christmas Devotional I missed it when it was on TV and I figured it would help me with my lesson, since I am teaching the Christmas lesson. If you missed it, go to LDS.org and watch it. It is amazing. With only watching the talks its only about 30 mins. Speaking of LDS.org the new website is pretty cool. They even have a Christmas website Christmas.lds.org

Remember the REASON FOR THE SEASON as it comes upon us so fast this year.

Major Catch Up

Josh and I got to go to Hawaii in October. Josh was teaching a class and he flew out on Sunday, I flew out on Tuesday. This was the first time I have ever flown alone. I was scared to death. Not only did I have to fly by myself I had to carry on a rebreather, which TSA always thinks it a bomb, and I had 3 carry ons (long story) but no one even said anything about having 3 carry ons. It is a 6 hour flight from Salt Lake to Honolulu and I get antsy on the 3 hour flight to Atlanta. I was prepared with a portable dvd player, the 1st season of project runway, a new book and YW projects to work on. The flight wasn't near as long as I thought it would be, I watched some project runway and finally when I got my personal TV on the back on the seat in front of me to work, I watched the new Twilight movie. Once I got to Honolulu I had a 4 hour layover before I flew to Lana'i. I ate some marvelous coconut shrimp, worked on my computer a little and walked around some of the shops but my arms felt like they were going to fall off so I went to find my Island Air terminal. The Island Air flight from Honolulu to Lana'i was only 30 mins but it was definitely the worst flight I have ever been on. A tiny, crowded, stinky plane that was way loud and bumpy and shaky. But we landed safely and finally I was in Hawaii with my Husband!

Here are lots of pictures!

I got to spend one day at the 4 seasons resort, It was marvelous.
