FHE!!!

So yesterday i think i surprised Nelson by telling him that i wanted us to start having FHE at our place every week. To be honest i surprised myself. Lately things have been difficult and we are not as committed to the gospel as we should be. So i figured we had to start somewhere. I prepared the lesson at work in between patients( shame on me)   So i went to www.lds.org which of course never fails and decided to do Lesson One: Building our Families through Home Evenings. Now this lesson is designed for a big family but i was able to make it apply to us.

Now here's my dilemma i didn't grow doing FHE's i wasn't even raised Mormon and until a few years ago i was still very clueless about it all. Now Nelson in the other hand was fortunate enough to grow up in the church so he was def use to all of it. And his knowledge is unbelievable he will school anybody out there. So sometimes its intimidating for me because i know my knowledge isn't as great as his but i try to just do the best i can.

So i got home from work cooked dinner and showered and also baked some cookies as a FHE snack and was able to give my lesson. We both have goals that we want to achieve as a couple and although we didnt do things traditionally and took the longer path to get there they are still very present in our minds. And honestly its what my heart desires the most. So i am happy to say that FHE was a success and very heartfelt because it was focused on family and i have realized that Nelson is the start to my new family and i must admit that it is very exciting.

Cant wait to see wait what the future holds for us. Im so grateful for this wonderful program the church has created for us to keep the Lord present in our lives during our busy week and i know only good can come from this.

Appreciating the Important Things
Begin a family home evening time by reading the following letter from a prisoner of war to his family:
“Dearest Marjorie, Cameron, Heather, Warren, Holly, Heidi. Above all I seek for eternal life with all of you. These are important: temple marriage, mission, college. Press on. Set goals, write history, take pictures twice a year.” (George Durrant, “A Gift from Heaven,” Ensign, Mar. 1971, p. 5.)
This was actually my favorite part of the lesson.
The words are so simple and beautiful and inspired at such a difficult time

AAHHHHH!!!

AAAHHHH so here it goes.. This is my first time blogging and for those of you that might know me will understand why I'm freaking out. This is totally out of my comfort zone. I tend to want to keep a lot of things private and only share certain things with close friends and family so here's to a new me I guess.

This just might be one of the most random and ridiculous blogs you will read. It will definitely not have a theme or even make any sense to anyone but me. So if you have nothing better to do stay tuned I'm sure you will laugh at least once or twice.

My name is Diana Garcia and I'm 24 yrs old. I currently live in Sanford, Fl and work at Family Medical Center. Moved up from Miami in January and can honestly say i love the peace and quiet. the craziness and chaos of Miami is so overrated... don't believe me? just try it out for yourself but don't say i didn't warn you. I live with my boyfriend of a year and its been crazy adjusting to the change. Speaking of boyfriends he is absolutely amazing some would even say he's my soul mate. Who would've known huh? he's definitely a breath of fresh air and although it has only been 1 yr it feels more like 10... it has been a roller coaster but i wouldn't change it for anything it has only made us stronger. i just realized the first part of this paragraph sounds like something for an online dating site.. SCARY not a fan of those

I feel like dating sites are sleazy and its like asking for something bad to happen. Its so sad how people can't be social enough to go up to a person and talk to them. Instead they do it behind a screen.
No offense to anyone but i'm just saying.Maybe its because i'm paranoid that i feel that way..

P.S This might be my first and last post because tonight is the first game of the NBA finals and the Heat will be playing and i might just go into cardiac arrest.


BTW he's the one that gives me premature ventricular contraction..
