I blogged a few months ago about Time Out For Women. It was an incredible experience that I got to share with some awesome friends from my ward. Loved it! It was there that I first heard a woman named Kris Belcher speak and I was AMAZED! The woman has been thru so much and her testimony and sense of humor are incredible! My life was changed just from hearing her speak. Among so many other things I realized while hearing her speak I became so grateful for my eyesight...such a blessing that I have honestly never thought about. I can't imagine not being able to see Casey or our kids or anything around me-what a blessing it is to see the beautiful temple and the world we live in. Since then I have bought her book as a gift for a few friends-it's called Hard Times and Holy Places. Every single time I have bought it I have wanted a copy for myself but decided to wait. Funny how meaningful a gift is when you give it to someone else and long for one for yourself. My awesome friend Erin bought it for me for my birthday...the funny thing is I had just left Seagull with 2 copies for 2 friends that very day!!! I was so grateful for it and have absolutely LOVED reading it. If any of you would like to borrow it come by and grab it-be sure to check out her blog-I added the link to my blog today. Your life will be changed also. She is a beautiful person with a beautiful testimony-a blessing to each one of us who will take the time to "know" her-someday I'd love to go to lunch with her or something. It'd probably freak her out if I showed up at her house-dang it! I'll have to be a little more subtle about my new friendship....

Hard Times and Holy Places
Wow!!! It's been awhile...life has been cRaZy around this house-so much to do and so little time! I feel like I am beginning to understand the expression "A day late and a dollar short"-that is my life! Always running behind and realizing how valuable a dollar really is and how many times you need the same dollar each day! ;) I am grateful for my awesome little family, though. The busy-ness they bring to my life makes my life rewarding. I really am so blessed!

I agree she was AMAZING! I bought her book the same day as Time Out and I think I read it the day I got home. I wished she would have talked for 2 days straight, she was AMAZING!!!!! She makes you grateful for so much that we take for granted, and has the best sense of humor “no no big white butt” & “I don’t what to be Mrs. Potato Head or a pirate” still crack me up :)
