General Conference Faves

In case ya need something good to do on a Sunday afternoon/night/before church/any day of the week, here are a few of my very favorite General Conference talks. :) Happy Reading.

1. "Trust in the Lord" -Richard G. Scott
I read this at least once a week. I love the faith that is spoken of by Elder Scott, and the wonderful example he is of trusting in the Lord.

2. "On being genuine" -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I like genuine people, so I really liked this talk

3. "Mountains to Climb" -Henry B. Eyring
This one is just lovely, and I know it to be true.

4. "Living Worthy of the Girl You Will Someday Marry" -Gordon B. Hinckley 
This is probably my favorite talk from any priesthood session ever. And I believe every single guy/priesthood holder should listen to it.

5. "The Need for Greater Kindness" -Gordon B. Hinckley
President Hinckley is one of the people I really want to meet when I get to Heaven. I love this talk, it always instills kindness, happiness, and love in me when I read it.

6. "Of Things that Matter Most" -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
When I get caught up in life, this talk always reminds me of the things that matter most to me.

7. "Looking Back and Moving Forward" - Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Continually moving forward is the best thing we can do. We must learn from the past, but not dwell on it. I just love this constant reminder

8. "Hope ya know, We Had a Hard Time" -Quentin L. Cook
We all have difficult times, but we must continue to rely on God and trust in His timing.

9. Gordon B. Hinckleys dedication at BYU-I (watch on Youtube)
No, this is not a General Conference address, but I absolutely adore it. President Hinckley is my favorite and this ALWAYS brings a huge smile to my face. (and possibly a few tears....)

10. "Let Him do it with Simplicity" -L. Tom Perry
The Lord truly knows best, and this is a beautiful way to remind us of that.

The Cost of Infertility (part 1)

Infertility is a whole lot of things: heartbreaking, hopeful, exhausting, and also expensive.  The obvious cost of infertility is the first one I'm going to talk about on here because its often the one people know a little bit about- the actual financial cost you pay to actually receive infertility treatments. When we started on medications I was actually still seeing an OBGYN. It had been a year of TTC with no luck, so we went to the doctors and started on a treatment plan.  The medications were timed around my cycle and horribly enough, they made me feel like I was pregnant even when I wasn't. They made me nauseous (so there was another med to counteract that) and some made my headaches turn to migraines for 4-5 days straight. (but more on the physical tolls of infertility later...). Luckily, during this phase of our journey, we were only paying about $300 a month for medications and appointment co-pays. We saw that OBGYN doc for nine months before setting up an appointment ...

real talk.

I've been living in Provo now for a few weeks, and everything is actually lovely. I like my cute little apartment that I get to call home. I love my roommates. I like my YSA ward. I've been on a few fun dates, I have a kid sitting next to me in my Eng 2040 class who has the prettiest blue eyes I have ever seen. (Like I can't talk to him without completely staring because they are beautiful). I've been able to go zip lining with my stake, swimming with my building, and Disney movie watching after ward prayer on Sundays. Life is really happy, which is something it hasn't been in quite a while for me. But a little too often it hits me. It hits me that a year from now everything will be different. It hits me that my little sister isn't sleeping in the room next to me, it hits me that my brother is probably building something and I don't even know about it. It hits me that at any second my mom could call from the hospital, and it hits me that every time I go ho...

Living with cancer

Today I walked to the bed just so I could lay down to smell the pillows. It seems like such a silly thing but I know that one day I will miss the way the pillows are lain after being slept on, and the way they smell just like one of my favorite people. I walked passed the mirror on the way out of the room, and I paused for a moment because even my own face looks a little bit older, and a little more fragile then it did just a few months before all of this.  I guess that's just what it's like, living with cancer. Living with something that doesn't ever totally go away, something that is constantly in your home, and on your mind. The days end up being scheduled to fit around the doctor appointments. The mail begins to only consist of medical bills, and brochures declaring possibilities for treatments. Even the well meaning texts stop getting answered simply because time is being preoccupied with continuous care. The quiet moments become rare and too sad to often bare ...
