ISRAEL!


Shalom everyone! I'm back to blogging... it's been a while, I had to wait for something to write about.. ha sad that it took so long!!! but this is definitely something to write about now... my trip to...
THE HOLY LAND

A few months ago, my grandma and grandpa Durfey had mentioned something about a trip to Israel.. well I this was always somewhere I wanted to go sometime in my life.. I figured in about 40 years I'd make my way there.. then grandma gave me the address to the website, within a week.. I was signed up with them to go on a 8 day LDS tour to the Holy Land! We left SLC on Feb 4th. after 17 hours in the air, awesome airplane food(yuck!), a book, a nap and a few movies..we made it to Tel Aviv, Israel!!! I've got some pics to share of my experience

Qumran- This is were the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. These scrolls were put in massive jars and hidden for centuries in these caves by the Jews. They contain parts of the Old Testament.





Here is Jerusalem!! Isn't it amazing! here in the picture you can see the Dome of the Rock, and the wall to Old Jerusalem.

We spent a couple of days in Jerusalem. Old Jerusalem was probably one of my favorite things we did/saw.

Inside the wall is the "Wailing Wall" where the Jewish go to pray. Seeing these people going to the wall to pray for hours and hours every day.. definitely made me think about how I can be much better about saying my prayers on my knees at my bed morning and night.

We saw the BYU Jerusalem Center-How awesome would it be to go to school there??

The streets are narrow and dirty in Old Jerusalem.... people with their little shops, bread stands, spices, even huka shops.. that's right. :)





Bethleham-Manger
Tradition says that this is where Mary and Joseph laid the baby Jesus the night he was born.



The Garden of Gethsemane

This was one of the last stops of the trip... and there was something special here.

As soon as we entered into the Garden and talked about what took place here 2 thousand years ago.. I got goosebumps. Right here I knew that Christ had suffered for me and the rest of the world. He bled from every pour and went through the most pain anyone has ever had to go through. Here, he suffered for me...



The Garden Tomb

Where Christ was Risen. This was another place where you could really feel of his spirit and know that this is where Christ really rose from the dead and spoke to Mary.

President Kimball came to this spot and stated that this was the actual place.

There is no denying that there is a special spirit here. Just like in the Garden of Gethsemane. We saw where he suffered, and ended with the resurrection.


I am so grateful for this trip and the experiences I had walking the land that Christ walked himself!!!! I'm grateful for his life and that he suffered for me so that I may return to him again. I'm so glad I got to share this with my grandparents, it was definitely a trip that I will never forget.




oh yeah... Grandma and I got to ride a CAMEL!!!!!! :)


We also visited:

Capernaum- Where Christ lived for the last 3-5 years of his life.
Galilea- took a boat ride on the Sea of Galilea where Christ walked on the water out to Peter's boat. one of my favorite stops!
Bet She' an- An Ancient Roman City
The Jordan River-Where John the baptist baptized Christ
Mount of the Multitude-Christ fed the 5000
Mount of the Beatittudes-Sermon on the Mount. The blessings of the Beatittudes are celestial blessings!
Mount of Transfiguration-Where Peter saw Christ with Moses and Elijah
Mount Carmel
Valley Of Armageddon- Where the last battle before Christ comes again will take place.

work, work, work, work.....

Since July I have been working at the Utah Valley Specialty Hospital and I absolutely LOVE it! I have learned a lot from working there and made a lot of friendships with the people I work with, but mostly I have been blessed to take care of the patients that stay there. It is a Long-Term, Acute-Care (L-TAC) facility. A step below an ICU unit.. we see a lot of wounds from surgeries, car-accidents, etc. brain injuries, infections, amputations, pretty much everything... we see it! This has been a true test on whether I want to become a nurse or not, and I can't wait to be a nurse!

The other day, I took care of a 25 year old, single mom who had been in a single car roll-over and suffered from a brain injury. She had been at our facility for about 2 weeks totally comatose. For the last 2 weeks, she has been getting more of her motor skills back, she was able to communicate with me by giving me a "thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down" I went in the other day and told her I would be taking care of her.. and she gave me a big smile. I can't even describe how amazing it is to see her recover! Incredible!

this is one of the many reasons I love my job. I am humbled by how fragile life is every day. I am so grateful for the blessing s I have in my life, my family, health, safety and the Gospel..



We recently switched our shifts to 5am-5pm.. let's just say.. I'm still getting used to waking up at 330am. This is what I am doing by 730pm after a long day of work...










It's been a while....



not a whole lot has happened since I last blogged.. except... I went to ARIZONA to visit my dear friend Pamela Jean :)I just love her and have missed her so much!



I was a good 5 days spent in the warm 75 degree weather doing everything from shopping, movies, visiting the Mesa Temple, gettin' our dance on, the best shaved ice I have ever had! hot tubbing, and of course staying up all hours of the night havin' a great time! Manda showed me a good time in AZ



can't wait to go back :)





Have I mentioned that I just love his girl! :)

I have re-discovered my LOVE/HATE relationship with pain medication and anesthesia!

I recently went in for a little surgery to remove the "bone spur" I had on my foot. It was on the top of my foot right by the nerve, every time I would walk forward, the bones would pinch that nerve and cause some pain after my 12 hours shifts. So we just decided to take care of it! I am now bone-spur-less :) however, I can still feel the anesthesia and am taking Lortab... idk which one it is, but they make me feel so sick and nauseated. I hate them. haha... but love them for keeping my foot nice and pain-free..

what a pain in the butt!!

now, just laid up watching movies, sleeping, reading.. loads of fun! :)

Great Grandma Durfey

This is my Great Grandma Durfey.. Letha. What an amazing woman! look at that smile :)

Grandma passed a week ago in her house at 91 and 1/2 years old. I was able to go over to see her the day before she passed and be one of only 3 ppl at the house at the time. I probably got about 45 minutes alone with her to comb her hair, hold her hand, tell her I loved her and kiss her goodbye for now. I was sitting here just holding her hand when I told her that I loved her and how much she meant to me when she gave me a smile and held my hand a little tighter.. I couldn't help but let the tears come. I love this woman with all my heart!

I am 1 out of 124 Great Grandchildren... and I felt like I was one of her favorites :) along with everyone else in the family.

I am grateful for the times that I went over to her house for lunch and sat and talked with her for hours about her childhood, meeting grandpa and her talking to me about my life. This lady had the best memory of anyone I have ever known! She could remember everything that I told her about my life and ask me about it the next time I saw her. I will never forget her famous homemade chocolate chip cookies, hugs, kisses, talks, contageous smile and love that she had for everyone.

I know that Heavenly Father puts us in our families for a reason. I also believe that he put me in the spot of this family for a reason too. I am grateful to be able to have this amazing lady in my life for 20 years. She was 100% devoted to this gospel and her family. I will miss her! I know that there is a great reunion going on in Heaven right now :)

FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I said "goodbye" to my teen years and have now entered into the "twenty's" weird!

"I promise that if you will keep your journals and records, they will indeed be a source of great inspiration to your families, to your children, your grandchildren and others, on through the generations. Each of us is important to those who are near and dear to us and as our posterity read of our life's experiences, they, too, will come to know and love us. And in that glorious day when our families are together in the eternities, we will already to acquainted."
-Spencer W. Kimball





I love this quote by Spencer W. Kimball... this quote alone is one that inspires me to keep a journal. There are times when I wonder why I keep buying journals to write events of MY life in... I don't feel like I have great and amazing things to fill the pages with, but I can honestly say that keeping a journal has blessed my life. I may not see the purpose of writing now, but maybe one day I will.

A few weeks ago I was cleaning out my closet and I came across all of my past journals. They start the day I was baptized. I spent hours reading through them...remembering past experiences, laughing at how big of a dork I sound in some of them, wanting to rip out some pages, and realizing how much I have grown. ( & still am growing)

After reading through my own journals, I decided I wanted to read through others in my family. We have a binder full of copies of journal entries from my grandparents, great grandparents, great-great.. and on.. I love this binder. I love learning about my ancestors and reading their thoughts. Even though I can't remember meeting them, I have a love and appreciation for them because of these journal entries.

This is what makes me write... and I hope I keep writing throughout my life.

G.N.O!!

That's right, it was GIRLS NIGHT OUT for the 6 of us(Jenica, Lynne, Kylie, Lindsey, Manda and myself) who have been friends for oh geez.. 10 years! has it really been that long?? time flies when you're living life with the people you love doesn't it??



We have this tradition where every summer all of us go up to Jenica's cabin and spend the night. Eating yummy food, sitting around the campfire, talking about old times, what's happening right now in our lives and of course the anxiously anticipated events that will occur in our future! :) haha

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love these girls.. each one brings their own special "gift" into our circle and it is easily noticed when one is missing. Nights like these really make me realize how much each one means to me and that I would do anything for any of them.. we've been through the highs and lows of growing up and are still great friends! Who could ask for better girlfriends?? I have been extremely blessed!!

We try and get together as much as possible now with everyone moved away, going to school and working.. here are some of the good times we've had this year! I LOVE YOU GIRLS!

The Blonde, Brunette and Red Head




I just spent 4 hot summer days in the city I think of as my 2nd home.. Cedar City! With 2 of my favorite people on the planet! It was a good time staying up late talking, never making it through 30 minutes of a movie without falling asleep, SUBWAY SUBWAY and more SUBWAY! Shopping in St. George, 115 degree weather, going to walmart for one thing at a time, bumpin in the car.. livin' the life!!

A lady came up to us in St. George and referred to us as "the blonde, brunette and red head" She thought it was funny that the 3 of us had such different hair colors. I'm sure that many people have thought this when they see us pass by, but only the true gems will point it out to us in the middle of IN-N-OUT while pointing a finger and laughing as she states the obvious.. I'm so glad we could humor her!




Dont' tell me this doesn't look like a good time! :)

Life of the Unemployed

the job hunt is still going... and therefore, I am still unemployed.

-Life of the unemployed consists of:

*volunteering to weed the yard
*mow the lawn
*wash all of the vehicles we own
*loads and loads of laundry (and I don't mind folding them, because it will take some time away from being bored)
*Going to the gym in the morning and at night because it's something to do.
* Going all over AF practically shoving resume's at people
*Babysitting on a Friday night- just because I might become 30 dollars richer than I was before.

oh boy.... do I need a job or what?

Goodbye Cedar City.....

The title of this post is bitter-sweet. I moved back home on Sunday and out of Cedar. Leaving my Freshman year of college behind me. As I got on the freeway in my loaded car and started to drive north, watching the small town of Cedar get further and further away in my rear view mirror, I couldn't help but get a little teary-eyed. Am I ready to say goodbye? I guess I need to be...

The last 8 months have been everything that I had hoped for and loads more! I was blessed to live with some of the best roommates a girl could ever ask for. Not knowing any of them and coming out of the year not wanting to leave them. That's saying something..




Kimberly Suzanne Duke -"Dukie"
I will miss our 2am cereal and long talks. Your dance moves down our hallway, your crumbs and your dripping face. But most I will miss the fact that I won't be living with one of my best friends who was always there when I needed someone to make me smile. Dukie- I love your fione ashhhh!



Amanda Jean Hansen-"Pamela-la-la"
hmm... well you know that I will miss you when I try and start a dance party at my house and all I get are blank stares from my siblings. Oh how I wished you were here! I will miss our deep conversations that go until 3 am, our out-of-control bursts of laughter and our movies we'd fall asleep to every night :) I will miss waiting until the clock hit 5 and knowing that my night would not be boring because you were coming home.. thank you for becoming one of my dearest friends and my (bestie) haha sure love you mand!!!




Michelle Kay Moore - "Shell Shell"
The responsible one.. Shell, I will miss youuu! our P90X AB work-outs, singing to the radio in the car, and making you laugh while leading the ward during the hymns. :) thank you for always being there for me!


It's obvious that these girls have left a lasting impression on me. These are just a few of the people in Cedar that blessed my life.. I can't imaging life if I hadn't moved to Cedar. It's been an unforgettable year... now it's time to turn the page and look to the next chapter :)


It's been good to be home and see my family. Nights like tonight make me realize how lucky I am to have such a close, big family. This summer will be good :) I know it.

Let the job hunt begin... again :)

Angel's Landing!



Last Saturday, a group of us decided to take advantage of this warm weather and head up to Zion's National Park and go hike Angel's Landing. I hadn't ever done it before, and I can honestly say that I had a blast!! It was a definite work-out, but I had great company and got to see the the beauty our world has to give!!! The hike took us about 3 hours.. I LOVED IT! there are some of the sites that we saw, just wait, this will make you want to hike it just for the view at the top!





Dad-I thought of you the whole time I was laying right there int he last pic! :)

While we were on the hike, Me, Kim and Haley were all talking about the different things we want to do before the semester is over! So we drove down to St. George and hiked the "DIXIE ROCK" and went to "spoon me" for a treat. After that, we made a last stop at bonfire our neighbor was throwing.. what a day!!!!!!





*************************************************************************************

I went on a double date Friday night, my date wouldn't tell me where we were going and I was the only one who didn't know.. it was driving me nuts the whole time!! Once we passed St. George I thought for sure these guys were crazy and when we showed up in Mesquite I found out that they really are crazy! haha we me the 4th party of our date down there and went to dinner and had a good time :)

I had a blast! I mean how many ppl can say they drove all the way to Mesquite and back on one date huh? haha

Monday, April 12, 2010

hmmmmm... :)





so I think that I have finally mastered my mom's homemade Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies!! :) we haven't had them for a while here in our apartment and oh boy.. this time we couldn't stop eating them. Amanda and I ended up taking them from apartment to apartment giving them away. Our neighbors didn't mind taking them one bit. :) Now, I won't be able to eat all week because I ate so many just Saturday and Sunday! but oh were they worth it!!!!!

Life has been grrreat! The semester is almost over. 2 weeks until finals! can ya believe it?! Guess I better get going on my studying! cross your fingers, toes, legs, arms and eyes for me!!!! I'm going to need it!

Saturday, February 27, 2010

What to do....??

Life just keeps going doesn't it? seems like it goes by faster and faster these days. It's almost March! which means only a month and 1/2 left living in Cedar. Which makes me sad. Just the thought of not being with my roommates every day! Although, I am ready to get a job and start working..put some money back in the bank :)

So many decisions to be made soon. Where to go to school next year, where to live, what I want to go into, where I want to work for the summer, etc. Sometimes I wish we had a magic ball like the ones that tell you what to do.. yeah. I need one of those right now...

Happy 6 months!!!

I have officially been living in Cedar City for 6 months now.. I can hardly believe it! time is going by waaaayyy too fast! Midterm is this coming Friday! ah!

so.. here we go:

SCHOOL-
my classes are a lot of interesting then last semester! My favorite class right now is my Anatomy Lab/Lecture. We have already learned the Tissues, Axial/Appendicular Skeleton, and now we are learning the muscles.. in lab we get to see the cadavars. It's so cool to be able to see how the human body actually looks! Although, I have been more hesitant to touching the cadavars then I had expected... I hope that's alright for a future nurse!

CHURCH-
My calling has been keeping me busy. I have really enjoyed being part of the Relief Society presidency. I makes me get out and get to know people better. I now look at the girls in my ward, and realize how I am lucky to have met them. I truely am so grateful for all the people who have come into my life here in Cedar City.

ROOMMIES!!-
OH HOW I LOVE THEM!!!!! Amanda and I figures out that we have known each other for just 6 months now, and how crazy that is. I feel like I have known them forever!

Over the weekend:

Friday night was the Institute HERO dance! yahooo! we're always up for a dance! Such a good time!

Saturday night we went bowling with Denton, his brother, "Chocolate boy". I came pretty close to winning.. but Duke beat me.. I guess that's alright. :) The 2nd game that we bowled we tried to bowl anyway that we wouldn't normally.. let's just say we got creative! It was definitely a good time :)



Sunday.. today. I spoke in Sacrement meeting. My topic was "Music and Dancing" I feel good about it. We have a "cookie and milk" party at the end of Relief Society for our months survice! 11th ward rocks! :D


last week, I went snowboarding with Royce and a friend of his from Nephi. The snow wasn't that great, but we made up for it. Went on the back country and found some untouched snow! I led the way.. and let's just say I wasn't paying attention to where I was leading because I led us about 2 miles off of the resort.. SORRY GUYS!!! made for a good story after the hike back was over :)



oh..I can't leave this out.. Guess who beat Royce down the mountain on the last run.. yup, that would be me! :)

Thursday, January 21, 2010

It's already January.. and I've been horrible at blogging.
So much has happened since November that I can't put it all in.

Christmas was great, spent 3 weeks at home with family and friends :)
Honestly, it made it hard to come back to Cedar. It was great to see my roommates again! how I missed seeing the every day!




Now, 3 weeks into my 2nd semester of college at SUU. This semester I am taking classes that I enjoy a lot more. like; Human Development, Human Anatomy w/ a lab, math, Institute. I've got a good schedule. I have to do better with my grades this semester.. I've already started off on the right foot. Studying every day for a few hours.. they make for kinda long days, but it's worth it.

Cedar City is great, we've calmed down a bit but don't worry, we're still crazy. The boys next door in Apartment 19 have their weekly tradition of having "Robes and Hot Chocolate" every Sunday night after ward prayer.. Bishop came last week. haha that was a shock to see him in a robe sitting on the couch! I'm excited for this sunday coming up. We went down to St. George this weekend and bought 3 dollar robes.. I'm excited!

I've been keeping busy with school and my church calling. The Relief Society Presidencies are in charge of making up a rap about their Bishop and performing at the stake enrichment next month. haha ours will be the best. :)
Funny story- Me and Kim went around delivering announcements to the girls who don't live in Stadium Way. Well.. we drove by Bishop's house and decided to door bell ditch him.. haha oh the things you come up with in Cedar City!

Last night, Kim and Royce made a beaver hat.. disgusting. I know. But I was impressed by KimDuke's sewing skills. They made it out of the beaver fur from the beaver that Roy had trapped, skinned, and tanned himself. He convinced me to put it on my head just to take a picture. It was killing me to know that I had a dead animal on my head!!! ahhhh!!! haha the hat is legit though, props to Kimduke and roy!



I've been missing home lately. I don't know why. But I have been missing being with my family and actually living at home. It'll be nice to move home for the summer. I don't know what I'll do with school next year. Maybe transfer to UVU, maybe come back here. We'll just have to see...

and last but not least, How can I not write about this? My friend Jake gets home from his mission in 19 days! yes, that's right 19.. I couldn't be more excited :D

Thursday, November 19, 2009

Let's start with the most recent happenings.
Today in class, I was told that I look like Snow White.. I wasn't sure waht to say to this. The lady explain.. " it's because of your dark hair and really really white skin.." haha "thanks youuuuuuuuu!!!!" good thing I'm heading to California next week.. apparently I need some sun :D

We are feeling the Christmas spirit around here.. yes, we've got our tree up. And it is the cutest little tree that any college apartment has ever had I believe :D
that's how we do in Apt. 18..



There have been a few birthdays over the past little while. Dallin-the big 24 and Zac-the even bigger 25. yes, i know.. they're old. Last Friday, we went bowling with a big group. I bowled the best game of my life so far... a 127. Better believe it!

2 weekends ago, I went home with Kim to Vegas! roadtrip! so much fun. Loved every second of it! Kim's headlight was out, so we tried to leave early enough so that we wouldn't be driving in the dark. Didn't quite make it. We almost got all the way and about 45 minutes away, we got pulled over. Luckily, the cop didn't say anything about how fast we were going :D

Once we got to Vegas, we dropped out stuff off at Duke's.. (she's got palm trees in her front yard!!!) we went down to the Strip. Kim was determined to show me "a night on the town"



we woke up early saturday morning. 530am! Went to the temple to do baptisms. I hadn't ever been to that temple before.

One morning we woke up to 5" of snow on our cars! I was so excited!! woot! can't wait for boarding season to start! AFter school, Kim and I put on our snow clothes and went out to make snow balls. Good thing Kim has everything.. even a legit snowball maker! Ryno and Dallin came to join us, pretty soon we were throwing snowballs at all the neighbors.. Love the snow!! :D



JENICA SUE!!! :) I was so excited to have her come stay with me Halloween weekend! :D It was a crazy fun filled weekend!.. we played a bunch of games with everyone in the club house Friday, watched a movie in our apt. I think that we had about 15 ppl all squished together in our living room watching MADAGASCAR.

Saturday, we hung out all day, slept in.. alwasys feels good :) then later that night, we went to Applebees with the apt. 19 boys. Since it was Halloween, they felt like they needed to scare us. So they took us to the "Sheep Tunnels".. not going to lie, they got me pretty good a few times.



that sunday, I taught the Relief Society lesson on "Hope, Joy and Perseverence" I think it went alright. There were a lot of quotes, but I feel like it went alright. Feels good to check that one off for the rest of the year!

10-29-09
WARD HALLOWEEN PARTY!!

so much fun! me and my roomies were all Conversation Hearts. Our costumes were a hit. They turned out really good.. thanks to the one and only-Kimduke! what would we do without her? At the party there was a dance and Kareoke.. you better believe we sang and danced!




This is Brent... it's a must that we get a picture of the tallest guy and shortest girl in the ward..



The boys from apt.19 won the costume contest.. they deserved it.


it's now been about a month ago, we carved pumpkins.. they looked pretty sweet all lit up. that weekend, Zac thought it would be funny to throw them all down our stairs.. we got "PUMKIN'D".. after all of them had gone to sleep, we went and got the pumkins out of the dumpster and threw them down their stairway.. it was great hearing their reaction the next morning before church :D

K.. so, I have a lot to talk about..

Couple weekend's ago, my little sister came down to stay a couple night with me here in Cedar :) 13 year old livin' the college life for a few days.haha.. only downside to her was my food.. you should have seen her sad little face when she only saw Apples and oatmeal in my cuboard. haha

saturday! Amanda and Kim went home with me!! lucky them to see good ol' AF!! :) we left saturday after being pampered all day from Amanda at her hair school.. that night we went to the SCREAM ASYLUM! so scarey, but fun. I haven't ever been one to really like scarey things like this, but going with the girls made it worth it.



School is good.. I really like it a lot down here in Cedar. I have noticed that college is a whole different ball game then high school.. I'm doin' alright. could be better, but still goin' haha I have let a couple grades slip and trying to get them back up now! my hardest class right now is Biology. it's kickin' my can.. I'm gonna pass and then I'm done :)

This last weekend, I went home again.. this time I hitched a ride with Kim, Tajia, Tasha and Ryno.. it was nice not to have to drive by myself again. We got home late friday night.




I went to Lu's cheer competition with my mom. Took me back to my little league competition days.. fun times :) Lu's squad took 1st! she did awesome! 6th, 7th and 8th grade CAVEMEN cheer squads took 1st! woot!
I also went to the BYU game with Dad and D. Sad game to go to because we lost to badly and early in the game. But it's always fun to go to a Y game with my dad. Love him!! :D

Sunday, there was a homecoming in my homeward, Sister Whitt is home from Edmonton, Canada. So glad to have her home!!!! :) After church, just hung out with my family, had dinner and left at 530pm.
It was good that I went home. Definitely needed a weekend with my family.. I love them so much and I'm so grateful for all that they do for me! :)

When we got back to Cedar on Sunday.. ran inside to watch the YANKEE game!.. YANKEES are going to the WORLD SERIES!! haha I can only imagine what my house was like when they won haha :)

Monday 10-26. good day! :) school was good, started making costumes for the ward party with Kimduke and Tajia. Ryno and I went to WALMART and decided to carve pumpkins. We have some good looking pumpkins outside out apartment!!!
