nothing like a good weekend.

Whew, don't you just LOVE when right about when you think you've gone about 5 miles past your breaking point the Lord shows you the answer and you think, "Oh! It's that simple?!" This weekend as I was hanging out with my family, 

I realized I have way too much on my hands, and something needed to change. 

And it needed to change soon.

I had a wonderful weekend, mom, sister, and I went to city creek, then the parental's and I went to Costco and other stores to get groceries for our family dinner on Sunday. I love being with my family. There is NEVER a dull moment, and I never stop laughing.

Sister also just got a new dog. His name is Higgins. He's a Goldendoodle 

(Golden Retriever and Poodle mix) He's pretty cute.

Also my long time best friend Kristy, got ENGAGED!! She will be sealed to her fiancé Jake this July. Crazy that we're old enough for these kind of things!

Church was amazing as it always is. I absolutely love my ward, I feel like we are all so close. It was totally inspired that we live where we live. I don't ever want to leave it! In fact, when my parents were talking about buying a smaller house, I told them I would move into one of our neighbors houses or speak to the stake presidency personally, just so I could stay in the Canyon View 8th ward. Haha. 

And it helps that our primary class is the absolute cutest. :)

Sunday dinner was the best. I don't get to be around my family much, and even though we were short my brother Clayton and his family (they live in St. George) I love being with them, so I'll take all the time I can get.

 After all, I'm going to be with them forever, so I guess it's a good thing that I like them! ;) Haha.

With that being said, after MUCH prayer and deliberation, the hurricane has come to a calming stop. I have come to a conclusion, and have decided, that I need to quit the musical. Although that makes me terribly sad, I need to do what the Lord wants me to do. And I feel that right now, I need to be spending what little free time I have with my family and friends, to keep my weekly goal of going to the temple, and actually have a life and enjoy it. :) I really have felt completely at peace all day at just the thought of not doing the show. I know this is the right decision.

So there you have it! And hey! I'm blogging AGAIN! That alone is a sign that life is getting better! :) Haha, hope you all had a wonderful weekend and HAVE a wonderful week! :)

................................and THAT'S a sip of Livi's Lemonade! :)

p.s. Now I also get to spend more time with this little one and her older sisters. :) I miss those girls, my life just isn't the same not seeing them everyday!! You wouldn't believe how much I miss them... 

(First Video she says: "Livi come see me! Bye!"

Second Video she says: "I need Livi!")

How did I get so lucky with those girls! :) :)
