We moved!

 It has been a while since I posted anything on my blog. I feel like not much has happened, but at the same time a lot has. We went to the Grand Tetons with some friends. It was still snowy and cold so we spent most of the time walking around Jackson Hole. I liked the pictures we took there, haha.

I also cut my hair again. It's a lot shorter than I thought it would be... but it will grow... Fast, I hope!😬

I have decided to go back to school to become a Registered Dental Hygienist. It came as a surprise because I was determined that I didn't like college anymore and I wanted to be done with it. But at work one day, I just felt very strongly that it was what I was supposed to do. So this summer will be a little crazy trying to cram in some prerequisites, but it will also be fun I think! 

We also have officially moved back to Spanish Fork Utah. It has been so nice to be home and close to family again. We have enjoyed going on walks, playing frisbee, and setting up our new home. I have a problem where spending money really stresses me out, so the aspect of buying new furniture to fill the space has been a little hard for me. But I realize that it needs to happen, I think it will be something I will be learning to overcome my whole life. But man! Finding a sectional is tough!

Through the last month, however I have really just felt extremely blessed. Heavenly Father has provided so many opportunities for us. I know that paying our tithing has helped us so much. We have never gone without, we always have what we need, and a little more. I know that when we give a little of what is ours to God, He makes up the difference. I have seen that through the countless blessings poured out on us by friends, family, work, and school. Heavenly Father is mindful, and I am so grateful.

So, life has been really busy lately. Basic life update, then I am going to do my best to stay on top of it from here on out!  We performed in Singing in the Rain. Monson was Cosmo and I was in the ensamble. It was an interesting experience... to say the least. We went to Disney World with the McKays, it was a lot of fun, but Disneyland is much better!

It is so nice to live close to family. It is fun to be involved in the traditions we grew up loving. When we lived in Rexburg we had to sacrifice a lot of those things. Monso...

Ice Castles

 So this happened about a week ago, I just haven't got a round to writing about it yet. I have always wanted to go to Ice Castles. I heard about the ones in Utah but never went. The ones here in Idaho did not disappoint! I really want to know how in the world they build these things because honestly... It's INCREDIBLE! There was so much detail to everything there. There were tons of different color lit tunnels to walk through and explore. There was even a staircase that went up to a bridge and a few towers. There was also a fire juggler and sleigh rides. In all it was just a really good time! And it was cool because inside of the ice caves it wasn't too cold. That helped make it more enjoyable for sure. Monson and I had a good time dancing together to the music they were playing. He sure makes me happy. Life is good at the Mckay house!

The Start of Our Blog

The other night as I was studying the scriptures, I read a verse of scripture that really struck me. 1 Nephi 18:9. It is the story of Lehi's family on the boat to the promised land. It talked about how Laman, Lemuel, and others started to make themselves merry and "speak with much rudeness".  I had never really thought much about this scripture other than it just being another part to the story. But in the moment I read it last night I had the distinct thought that I needed to delete my Instagram and Facebook account and start a family blog. I have noticed recently that I have spent so much time on these social media platforms just scrolling looking for funny videos. A lot of these videos have "much rudeness" in them... To put it lightly. I thought of how those things drive away the Spirit. For Lehi's family it caused a storm that drove them back upon the waters. I knew I needed to do it but part of me was sad because I really love keeping up with people. Ho...
