Dad's Day

Father's Day is approaching.
If yellow roses grow in heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my father's arms and tell him they're from me.
Tell him that I love and miss him, and when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon
his cheek, and hold him for awhile. Remembering him is easy, I do it everyday,
there is an ache... in my heart that will never go away.

Today, my heart is very full and the tears are flowing. In my heart there is an ache that finds its way to the surface and hurts as if it were only yesterday. Many people in my life didn't get the chance to know or meet my Dad and I wish they could have. My dad was the kindest, gentlest, loving and caring man in this entire world. His heart was filled with unconditional love for his family and those he cared for the most.

My dad was my hero and example. Everyday of his life was a struggle and and test of his faith and endurance to survive the life he was asked to live. Never once did he ever complain or ask why me? Instead he gave his all to his family and loved with all of his heart completely.
This time of year, the summer time I am reminded of him and miss him even more. Fathers Day and his Birthday June 22nd always remind me of him and make me miss him especially.

I am thankful to a loving father in Heaven who gave me every single memory, moment and day spent with my dad while he was here with us. I am thankful to know that my family is sealed for time and all eternity and that this mortal existence is a small moment in time and that I will one day soon be with my Dad again forever.

My other hero is my Grandpa Dean. When my Dad passed away he stepped in no questions asked and has always been more than a grandpa he has been like a father to me. I am thankful for him and honored my middle name is after him.

I also pay honor to my Dad's Father Gene Adams who I never got the chance to meet during this life and look forward to meeting him someday.

Dad I love you so much and this day remember and love you with all my heart. I am blessed beyond measure to get to have you as my dad. I miss you so much and await the day when we will be together again forever.

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

I love this song, and it has always been one of my favorites. Lately it has meant more to me than I could ever begin to describe. The words and meaning are beautiful. Our Heavenly Father loves us perfectly and unconditionally. We are never so far gone that we can't return to the grace of his love. I am thankful for having the Gospel in my life and the plan of happiness. This is a beautiful song!

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Sorrowing I shall be in spirit,
Till released from flesh and sin,
Yet from what I do inherit,
Here Thy praises I’ll begin;
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Here by Thy great help I’ve come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood;
How His kindness yet pursues me
Mortal tongue can never tell,
Clothed in flesh, till death shall loose me
I cannot proclaim it well.

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.

O that day when freed from sinning,
I shall see Thy lovely face;
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy sovereign grace;
Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away;
Send thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless day.

25th Birthday and April

Wow, how the time flies! April 2nd I celebrated my 25th Birthday and I will be the first to admit it was very bitter and sweet at the same time. The night before my last night of being 24 I was at my moms house and I started bawling! I was like tomorrow I am going to be 25 and what have I accomplished with my life have I really made the most of 25 years?!?! turning 25 was a major thing for me I wasn't completely looking forward to but after all the probably unnecessary tears sitting there in the middle of the night with my sweet mom I reflected back on the past 25 years and looking at the picture in whole I have accomplished many things I am so proud of and thankful for and I feel I have made the most of my time here so far The greatest things I have done in my adult years that I am so proud of:

-Going to college! I moved to Idaho one week after graduating from high school and spent 5 years at BYU-Idaho and I graduated with my Bachelors Degree in Child Development when I was 23. I made many memories and friends and priceless times that will last forever.

-My Job! April 14th I celebrated my 2 year Anniversary at Intermountain Healthcare during my 2 years with the hospital I worked at LDS Hospital, Intermountain Medical Center and now McKay-Dee Hospital which has been my home for 1 year now I have had priceless memories and experiences working with children and getting to experience the miracle of life with working with precious newborn babies I am so blessed!

-The Temple, I am so blessed to have been able to go through the Temple and receive the full blessings of the house of the Lord and the blessings it has brought to my life.

-Education! I am working on completing a 2nd degree in Social Work I can't believe I am getting to live this dream and am working towards this I am loving every minute of completing this.

-Friendship... I have met many dear friends that have changed my life and I love my friends more than anything in this world without friends I don't know where I would be..

-My family, I would be lost without them We may not have it all together but together we have it all:)

Looking at the picture in whole I realized what I have always known I am blessed and this journey has been one worth every single tear, laugh, memory, good times and bad times and everything in between..

So for my Birthday I took a much needed trip to St. George. I had so much fun!! I got there Thursday night and my Cute Nephew Ashton got to come down with me he was the best co-pilot he kept me great company:) Thursday night when we got there We went to Dinner at Texas Roadhouse with my mom and sister Krista this is always a tradition for my birthday it was good! I had been battling an awful sore throat and flu so I was still not feeling so well but was starting to feel better thankfully to anti biotics

Friday morning my b day I woke to my mom serenading me she always sings to me on my birthday its cute every year no matter where I am she sings me happy birthday in her cheesiest voice I love it!

That morning my mom and grandma surprised me with a pedicure! There is a lady in St. George that does the most amazing pedicures she dips your feet in hot wax in the end and wraps your feet it is amazing it was such a treat! I got cute pink toe nails I love visiting for this reason:)

When I returned home to my moms she said she had a day full of surprises in store for me she is such an angel... She took me shoe shopping I got some new shoes for work and some cute new sandles for summer then she took me to American Eagle and Old Navy and bought me the cutest shorts and shirts for summer we had so much fun shopping!

Later that afternoon we went to Dinner with my wonderful family. We ate at Red Lobster and it was divine:) I had a great time with everyone.

That night my mom sister and I went to The Last Song it was okay.... Miley's teeth bugged me the entire movie but I liked it.

I had a wonderful wonderful day I am so blessed for my life and the live I have lived these 25 years have been mine no one else but me has experienced this life it has been a blessing to experience everything I have. I had so much fun in St. George!

Since its been forever since I have blogged.... Other April happenings.... I finished my 2nd semester at Weber I am so happy to be done and have a break this summer from school:)

I also applied and interviewed for 2 new jobs at McKay-Dee Hospital... one in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit as a Critical Care Tech and one on the Behavioral Health Unit as a Psych Tech... a lot of people think I am "crazy" for wanting to work on Psych but I feel it would be very rewarding and am leaning towards that job if it is offered to me I will know this week.. I love working on the OB/GYN unit and love working with the miracle of life, but if change comes my way I am looking to take it... we shall see

Much Love To All!
Love, Me-

Who would have thought the best times you have are those silly, crazy moments while working in the middle of the night?!
