Are Mormons Christian?

Today in school the epic church topic came up. I had a table start to discuss religion. It went like this. (names have been changed)
Stacy: I go to church every Sunday. (said in a very proud voice)
Harold: Are you Mormon? I am!
Stacy: No, I'm Christian.
Harold: Mormons are Christian too! (I was very impressed with Harold at this point)
Stacy: No they aren't, they are Mormon. I'm Christian.
Harold: No Mormons are Christian too, we believe in Jesus Christ.
Stacy: But I am Christian.

The conversation then led into the classic "raise your hand on the table if you....go to church every Sunday" "raise your hand on the table if you....."
I was very impressed with my little Harold. He usually isn't one to stay true to what he says, he always doubts his answers. He'll raise his hand in class but then as soon as I call on him he'll quickly forget what he was going to say.
It boosts my Spirit when I hear these little conversations happen. It helps me see their potential. I can totally see Harold on his mission declaring boldly the Gospel he knows to be true.

I love my job.

1 year of WonderfullNESS!!!!

Ryan and I have found the most amazing game ever. It is called Disney HedBandz. For those of us who can't afford to go to Disneyland this is a blessing. Once you put the Mickey Ears on you are instantly transported the All-Things-Disney!

Plus you look silly and thus laugh!

This past month was our 1 year anniversary. We celebrated by going to the Aquarium and then to Cheesecake Factory.

Ryan had never been to the Aquarium so he loved every minute of it.

This is Ryan touching the Sting Rays!



My favorite part was the new River Otter exhibit.
 

They were like children. They run, run, run, play, play, play and then suddenly crash! We could only get a picture once they crashed because then all the children lost interest and moved on to another exhibit. (I can't wait till I have my own child to use as an excuse to butt my way up to the front of the display)

After the fun at the Aquarium we headed off to the Cheesecake Factory at Fashion Place Mall. After waiting an hour we finally got our seat. The food was delicious! 

 Here is us with our trusty Buzzer.

For our Anniversary I got Ryan tickets to the Jazz vs. Jimmer game Jazz vs. Kings game. ;) He was so excited! We found out our friends Emily and Stu were headed up to the game as well so we carpooled with them. 









Ryan won a t-shirt they threw out!

Ryan found Jimmer right away!

Here we are in our seats. Can you tell Ryan is excited? ;)

Jimmer himself!

Happy Anniversary!

Oh how I love this man! A year ago this month we were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. What a blessing!
I can't imagine my life without him. This past year has been so wonderful. I have loved every second of it.
My favorite thing about being married is waking up next to my favorite person every single day. (Morning breath and all) It is so nice to go through life with your best friend by your side.
I love you Ryan!

                   What a wonderful year we've had.

For New Year's Eve we spent the day with the Woodbury Family playing cards, and other fun games.
After a day full of fun we made the trek to Grandma Davidson's Casa for a night of fast moving feet and pizza. My Aunt brought over her family's WII game system and the game Just Dance 3. We set it up downstairs in the Rec Room on the projector. We had everyone dancing like fools! It was so gosh darn fun!
After wearing ourselves out we moved upstairs for a quiet game of "Would You Rather" except all the childrens decided to come up and play too, whether they understood the rules or not.
Around 11:00pm Ryan was hit by a wave of sickness. He was exhausted, dizzy and achy all over. So we drove home making it just in time for the clock to strike 12. Ryan quickly took a shot of NyQuil, gave me my midnight kiss and then fell into a deep slumber until Monday.
All in all a wonderful night.

 Shot of NyQuil!

Oh I did get my face painted that night by the wonderful Lexie!
