Living in LA!

Joy
LA=Los Alamos NEW MEXICO. haha
Zane is half way through the academy and is spending the week with LAFD in a town 3 hours away to learn more about putting out fires and more skills. I am so proud of him. He has been doing so good and we have grown so much as a couple. It is amazing how much more you learn about your other half and understand how much your other half completes you.
This fast Sunday was amazing. Although we did not attend all 3 hours, I think I was very spiritually satisfied. In all the time I have known Zane, I have never heard him bear his testimony and this last Sunday he surprised me by walking straight up to the stand. It was short and sweet and testified about the power of prayer. I was so happy to hear those words from him. Since we have been married its been hard to say our prayers together-I wanted him to be the one who says, "Let's pray," and not have it be me who is always nagging (not that i nag about it). Finally.... he understands how I feel about prayer. How it gets you through the tough and sweet times, how it calms you, and how it connects you to our Father. I have been patiently dreaming of this day for a long time. It makes me so happy to know that he feels the same way about prayer now. Praying has always been my support through all the trials I have gone through growing up. It not only has blessed me, but has blessed my family around me. I love prayer!

For life in LA:
I did my first craft fair with my friend Katie. I sold purses/totes, flowers, origami ornaments, and holiday blocks. I am going to try and find what I am good at and focus on it. It has been fun doing all these crafts and I can't wait to do another craft fair. It hasn't been snowing at all this December and I wish it would soon. I am ready for a white Christmas!

Tonight I am making salt clay ornaments! I needed something to do while Zane is away from me for a WEEK!
