6th Picture

Instructions: Go to your picture files. Open the 6th folder, and the 6th picture. Post it on your blog and tell the story of the picture. Then tag 6 people. (I'll just leave it open for whoever wants.)

This one is from our Church History Vacation in 2006. It is the sunset as seen from our campsite at Camp Nauvoo which is owned by the Community of Christ church. We stayed there 3 nights, and paid $3 per person each night. We even had showers and laundry facilities. We only had one neighbor in this field on one of the nights we were there.



I loved Nauvoo and would go back in a heart beat. The Spirit was so strong there. It was fun to learn about the pioneers. We even did a session in the Nauvoo Temple. My favorite part of Nauvoo was the Womanhood Garden. I remember when those statues were placed there and kept pinching myself to make sure I was really there seeing them with my own eyes.

I am so jealous because my aunt and uncle are going there in April to serve a mission!

The idea here is define who you are - what seven things, traits or qualities make up who YOU are?

Ann

1. Independent--My mom tells a story about when I was 4 years old. She says there was a neighbor girl who liked to have all the little girls follow her around. Guess who wouldn't! That girl was so upset that I wouldn't follow her.

2. Goal oriented--Another story from my childhood. When I was 4 years old my 3 year old friend and I were playing outside one day and started talking about our future marriage plans. She said she would get married in Salt Lake City. I said, "I'm not doing that. I'm getting married in the temple."

3. Peacemaker--contention of any kind drives me up the wall. Good thing our kids don't fight much.

4. Tender-hearted--I want to do too much for people and it gets me into trouble sometimes.

5. Soft-hearted--I'm easily hurt.

6. Determined--I'm not easily swayed from my goals. Another story...I wanted to attend BYU-Utah very badly, but my mom kept trying to get me to attend USU and live at home. I stuck with it, found my own financial aid, saved my money for school costs and made it to BYU-Utah. Mom and the rest of the kids (8 of them) ended up living with Grandma Bright that first year. Good thing I didn't plan to live at home after all.

7. Confident--I know without a doubt that Heavenly Father loves me no matter how imperfect I am. I am acceptable in His eyes.

I tag...anyone!
