Blessed {by Kara}

Most of you know that I have been a bit down lately due to lack of dates, potential dates, potential anything as it relates to my dating/friend life. Sunday I focused my fast on needing to feel hopeful and at peace about my move, my ward, and my life in general.

Sometimes I don't feel much during my fast, but other times, like this last Sunday, I did. I woke up feeling a complete sense of peace about everything and that I was making good and right decisions. Then I got to church and I felt so much a part of the ward, then I got a calling that will really make me feel a part of the ward (Relief Society Secretary -yikes!). It all helped me realize that we are guided when we allow ourselves to be guided and that we have so many blessings in our lives. I am abundantly blessed to have my incredible family in my life, the gospel, a fantastic job working with my dad and brother, and my health. What more can I ask for?

I'm Off!


Hellooooo Family!

I leave today for Haiti but want to share with you a picture of all the dolls the ward lovingly made. I forgot to count as I packed them away, but I think there are around 120. I made 20 and Christian made 1 really cute bear.

Please everyone stay safe and healthy while I am away and know I love you guys!

Lots of love,

Kara

Skiing with the Williams

Hello!!!

About a month ago, Thomas, Lauren and I headed up to Park City for a few lessons. Thomas and I were boarding and Lauren was skiing. It was a great day and Thomas and Lauren both did fantastically well! Unfortunately, I being older and more fragile had to end my lesson early due to my many many bruises, aches and a sprained wrist. I didn't see Thomas during his lesson so there is only an after picture, but I caught Lauren in action and posted the video.

Oh and I threw in at the end, for good measure, a picture of the culinary delights Christian and I cooked up at our last cooking class. Mmmmmm, tasty.

Love you all and miss those of you not here!
