I've been learning a lot the past few weeks about myself and what the Lord has in store for me and what he wants and needs me to do. I've been VERY selfish since my divorce and my life has revolved around Karen and Kale (the dog). I have been cursed with Dr appts and healing concepts and precepts that are making me more humble and teaching me personal growth.
I have had a lot on my mind as well about what to do with school and do I really need to do another degree and with work and if I really need to keep working hard and killing myself in the process of doing it. I have thought a lot about my health too and what the Lord is giving me to deal with. Do I date multiple people or do I stick it out with one person. Do I ask people out and do I throw myself under the buss and let people tell me NO, they don't want to go out. I think that sucks as a single person in this life. I wish that people would just go out with one another to build friendships because, how else do you get to know someone if you aren't friends.
Why is it also that when I go to the singles activities, everyone is so friendly yet nobody asks each other to dance and we dance in large groups and circles and then when I am asked to dance, he is part of the living dead, meaning he is over 60? I don't want to dance and converse with someone that is over 60. What can we possibly have in common? Retirement? 401K? Health issues---probably the closest, but really. That person probably has a son/daughter my age and grand-kids that are pretty dang close ;o)
The past few weeks have been difficult. I have been diagnosed with Iron Deficiency Anemia which needless to say is sending me to the Ironwood Arizona Cancer Center for IV forced Venefer, which is an IRON through an IV because my body should be at 70 minimum and mine is at 11 so I'm Iron deficient. It makes me fatigued, my hair falls out in huge clumps and my skin is dry and like a lizard. I can drive H2O like its going out of style and it doesn't make a difference of the dryness of my skin at all. It just forces me to pee more ;o)
I have been keeping busy with my primary church calling. I'm so scared to be there with these sweet little 4 yr old kids yet I love them and they are so sweet. There are 4 in my class and 3 seem to be ADHD. 1 I just love and hold him and cradle him every moment I get. His name is Westen Lundell and he is sooo sweet. Maggie is the youngest of the 4 kids and her language development is coming right along. Its awesome to see their growth every week.
I have also bee keeping busy with doing temple work. I have a friend, Craig Bishop doing the work for the males that I have been blessed with finding and doing the Family History for. It's been awesome to get feedback about the progress that he is doing for those males who need to have their work down to have Eternal Life or at least a chance at it. I know that in the next life, they will embrace one another.
Which reminds me, I have been trying to decide to go to Molokai, Hawaii. I want to do the Mule tour to Kalaupapa, the leprosy colony or do the hike. I have been in contact with my family there trying to see if anyone will go with me and my Aunty Emily is like, no way man, I'm not riding a mule down a mountain cliff---so she's out so I'm trying to see if cousins will go. It'll be an experience of a lifetime to go. I am mainly going to do family history. I already bought my ticket to Hawaii for August 31 to Sept 8th. I can go to Molokai anytime in the middle there.
For the month of April, I kept pretty busy. I went with Craig also to the Mesa, AZ Easter Pageant. It was fabulous. The spirit was there and they were so wonderful and I know that if I was touched, there were others that were touched as well that are not members who are now progressing toward the waters of baptism.
I started my 3rd class for the MAED/AET program this last Tuesday. This one is all about Instructional Design. Something I know NOTHING about and I'm excited to read through my classmates postings to learn just the basics of it and to do the homework. I'll be getting some feedback from a coworker, Brandi, hopefully tomorrow about the assignment that is due tomorrow. I want to make sure I'm doing it right since she finished the program last year.
Kale got a sweet haircut. He looks so good and is so stinking cute. I'll be 7 in May and I've had him for 6 of those years. Wow, how time flies.
We had stake conference on Easter Weekend and that was FABULOUS. What an awesome experience. The prior stake president was released because he is leaving to be mission president in Argentina where he served his mission, many years ago and he is sooooo excited. The new stake president rocks based on his testimony and it'll be awesome to speak with him in August when I go to renew my temple recommend. The speakers, Elder Pearson and his companion made me cry on both Saturday night and Sunday as the talks were directed to me personally. I can't remember the companions name but apparently he lives here in the East valley somewhere. Anyways, I learned that even through trials and times of pure darkness, the Lords hands are always hold me up and always there to strengthen me and take me through that trial and darkness. I learned once again, that even though I am divorced for no fault of my own, that the Lord will carry me forward and move me to someone and somewhere that I need to be and can be. I was taught once again too that we are all given trials and dark moments so that I can see the joy and peace on the other side. Sometimes we loose sight of what we have and we take the blessings for granted. I have to say that I did that and now that I've been compelled to be humbled some more, I can see that concept as straight as the nose on my face.
Prior to attending Stake Conference, I packed up Kale and a few camping necessities that I had and drop up and met Craig and his kids at his parents house. We were going camping for the night. I was invited and I jumped at the chance to go to see if I could with a guy that I barely know and 4 kids that don't know me from Adam. Granted we had met but it was at an awkward situation and I didn't think that they'd remember me or want to hang out with me. I went thinking that I would basically do the observing to see what I can do to be a benefit on the lives of these 4 sweet children. I wanted to get to know each one of them and their DAD tons better. For me, it was very helpful to see what I could do as a "step mom" and "wife" or what I can't or WON'T do because of those titles. I was pleased to see that Craig and I actually thought and said some of the same things. He being their dad and me, just being the "childless observant friend".
I really have to prayerfully consider being a step mom and at my age, that is all I'd be anyways. I have to admit that I've had to change my way of thinking and to really humble myself that this life is not meant to be easy or to run from when times get hard. I've actually watched Craig and listen to him because a better person within the last 3-4 months since we've been friends. He has really changed and has really become a better dad and person because of the trials that he has had to go through with his ex-wife. From what I can gather, he has learned that he can't take life so seriously anymore and that when things are out of his control, there isn't any reason to stress out about the situation and from what I have learned in the passed year, I'd have to agree, you just go with the flow and take the situation to the Lord and everything will work out on its own time.
Anyways, back to camp; they had dinner, we played a few games, told a few stories and wow, that family doesn't sleep at all. These kids miss their dad something terrible so they tried to stay up as late as possible and talk with him and hang out with him. Little Michael was so exhausted that he was killing himself to not sleep. The 3 older kids, Kimorah, aka, Kim, Ryan and Kevin are just kids an were fighting the sleep bug too. We didn't push them to go to bed because why bother, let them talk and play and get all the bugs out they can with dad as they spent time with him.When it comes to sleep, I fit right in. I don't need much so when I'm up, I'm up and that is that and then when I do need it, I'm out cold. Little Michael didn't sleep well at all so kept dad up most of the night and then dad was checking on the other kids and woke me up right away and then I was up for the restless for the rest of the night, then Kevin got up a little before 5 and then the whole world was awake so I was up by 6 once again with very little sleep and I still had a LONG day to go.
I remember being younger, and I won't say how many years ago, but I do remember saying that I'd prefer to not get involved with a man that has children with an ex-wife being involved. I have learned that what comes around goes around and that my choices with being involved with a man with an ex-wife has nothing to do with what type of person that I am. I am who I am today because of the choices that I've previously made and the way the Lord sees fit. I was married to someone who tried my patience and stretched me thin and I didn't even know it and now that the Lord has taken me out of that situation, I am able to see life in a totally different light. I don't look at people the same way anymore nor do I hold myself accountable for choices and things that they've done in their life. I can't change them nor do I want to. All I want to do is be with them because of the type of person that they allow me to be and that we compliment each other and they continue to be the person that they want to be. I'm not trying to change anybody nor am I trying to making to myself like that person. Blah, blah, blah. I have friends and family because of who they are and they have made choices and have progressed in this life that we are able to help one another and Heavenly Father has placed them in my life for a reason that I'll never know or that I'll know right away. Blah, blah, blah. I'm just babbling.
Anyways, I'm getting ready to make some financial changes here at home. I'm getting ready to change the cable service over to the bare minimum and have Internet only because I don't want to spend $150 on TV and Internet when I don't watch more than 10 channels. I watch A LOT of TV but not worth $150 worth. That $$ will be used for SRP (AC bill) for the summer. The AC still isn't on and its May 1st and its great. The weather has been absolutely awesome and I'm lovin' it. I don't think I'll turn it on until the end of May which would be absolutely wonderful.
I need to get to bed and its only a little after 8 but I get up at 4 and walk Kale, read scriptures and get ready for work. I've started to take the light rail to work again and I love it. I save about 13 miles a day driving if not more and I save tons more $$ because I'm not out buying stuff I don't need during lunch.
I love the Lord and I love the Easter, Spring Season where the light is brighter and appears earlier and where the Light is what the Lord is and if I focus on him, everything else will turn out as Heavenly Father has planned for me and I need to accept that.

Question of Personality
Why is it that I am attracted to those men that are unemployed, have emotional issues and are frustrated with the world because things aren't going their way? Why is it that the guys that I'm attracted to are LDS temple recommend holders but are seriously afraid of the world and afraid that life is going to come crashing down on them and they don't want to commit. Isn't this what life is supposed to be like? Isn't this what life is supposed to deal us as mortal beings on this earth?
Isn't life supposed to be exciting, fun and full of charity and love? Isn't it what we do with this life and how we live it the pre-course for life to come? I pray with full heart that those men and women out there that are scared of life, trials and terrible things that come their way, just see the hand of the Lord in EVERYTHING and now that he has total control.
Someone asked me if I'd ever marry again and I told them, heck ya. Who wants to be single for the rest of their life and who wants to be alone in the after life. I'd marry again because that way he can take care of me. Isn't that what men want to do, take care of a women, her needs and her kids (which I don't have any of). Isn't that what a woman wants, to be taken care of and pampered and spend all the money that the man brings home? This kind of life sucks. I can't imagine doing that to someone. I make my own money and I can take care of myself, HOWEVER, I am soooo willing to share and give up A LOT to get A LOT. I'd give up my job in a HEARTBEAT to be a wife and a mother. I want to date and get to know someone because we have things in common, not because he has money or the lack there of. I want to get to know someone because I have an special interest in them and their life and who they are not because of how HUGE their bank account is or how they look or how fat or skinny or how beautiful or handsome they are. I want to get to know someone and date them so that I can potentially marry them for eternity. Dang it, if life was all about looks we wouldn't have eyes and we wouldn't have the feelings of love and touch and senses to kiss and be romantic with someone. I love all of that, it is exciting and its moving.
Oh well, enough crying and feeling pity and playing "victim" which I am not of at all. My divorce has been a HUGE blessing in my life and those that I'm in contact with. I'm just going to move forward and if someone finds that they want to date me, they'll ask or someone will ask for them. I'm to old to play games.
Love,
Karen

Missing Information
Isn't it sad sometimes when you want to know the missing links to issues that come up in your life and then when you find out what they are, they hurt and make you feel terrible. I am hurt right now because of something that someone said about me and you know. I'll get over it within the next day or two because I have more important things to worry about than think of why a person doesn't like, love or have interest in me.
It is interesting to know that someone who once loved or you thought they loved you now says that they never did and that they don't want anything to do with you because of how I look. I just don't understand that mortal, unrealistic thought. Really? Someone doesn't like me because of how I dress, how my body is, how I walk, how I talk, or even how I do my hair. Someone isn't interested in me because there is no physical attraction there. I think that the person should have thought about that before they even caught a second glimpse at me.
I will be over this issue in my life in a few hours and even as long as a day because I know that the one person in my life who lives me for me and doesn't care what I look like, nor how I dress or how my body is after I loose 130 pounds. Of course, it is going to be ugly, of course it is going to have some flaws but to marry someone and then get a divorce because of what I look like, that just doesn't make any sense at all.
I know that my Heavenly Father loves me for me. I know that my short legs and my pudgy body and my strange hair and acne face to him does not make a difference at all. I know that it is what I do and who I follow and the commandments that I choose to endure with, is what the only man in my life needs me to do and with that being said; I'm a blessed daughter of a Loving Heavenly Father.

Long time no write
I know, it has been awhile since I've written anything and it may be a little while more so I figured that I'd do it now while I'm thinking about it.
I've been so busy lately and so grateful for being busy. Poor little Kale is my only concern though and I'm so grateful for the time that I have to spend with him as he plays and runs at the dog park and as I meet new, sweet people. How can a single person over the age of 35 be so busy and she doesn't have any children? Well, let me just tell ya.
I started a 2nd masters and I'm in class, I teach the 4 yr old primary kids, I attend firesides and baptisms, I fellowship lass actives and new members by going to dances, firesides and group dinners. I attend the temple, do family history and try to get the youth to do the baptisms for these family members.
I attend dinners and ward members homes with the less active friend, missionaries and the non-member/part-member family.
I spend time with good friends and play Wii and card games to make new friends and relationships. I go on dates and attend concerts and have dreams about the guys I'm going with (which I will NOT talk about unless it is with the person that I dreamed about). I do homework, take Kale to the dog park and still happen to get in CSI and What not to Wear on TV. I do my visiting teaching and meet new sisters in the ward and go to the temple grounds to just walk around with and hang out.
I talk to friends to setup times to meet and go with to Tucson for a Singles Conference, I have tickets to attend General Conference in April and so I've setup time to go and spend time with friends there too.
Kenji my brother is coming in April over Easter weekend and I just found out that my stake has stake conference that weekend so we are going to squeeze Las Vegas, St. George, Cedar City and Kanab and stake conference all in 4 days. I want to be back for the conference because my stake president is being released to become a new mission president in Venezuela. I'm hoping that Kenji will have energy to go to the Mesa LDS Easter Pageant the night he arrives so I'm hoping to do that while he is here too.
I have a trip planned to go back up to Utah for the Manti pageant in June and I'm so excited for that. I have a trip planned with friends to go to San Diego for a singles conference and I'm sooo excited. I bought my ticket for Hawaii for the first full week of September and I can't wait. I'm going to stay in town because I want to be close to downtown for the cemeteries and for the records offices so that I can work on family history and get some more information.
In the mean time, I'm slammed with tons of other fun things like, laundry, cleaning my house, making sure that I pay all my bills, oh I'm so grateful for the Internet and automatic payments. It helps TONS!
I still read my scriptures every morning. I know that because of this, I can get through my days and am able to carry on and do things that the Lord needs me to do at this time. I am grateful for Heaven on Earth and for its peace and solace.
My mom is getting worse with her health so may not be with us mentally for very much longer which I am OK with. I am at so much peace with what is happening to her and with how my dad is dealing with it. I am so grateful again to be where I am so that I don't stress out about it because I would take it personal and I can't. I can't change what is happening nor do I want to. The Lord has what is happening to her in HIS hands and that is what comforts me.
My shower head broke right off and I fixed it with the help of my friend Jacob and I'm so grateful for his help. It took a whoppin' 20 minutes to do, if that and its wonderful. I just received an email from my landlord to knock off the price of the shower head and $35 from the next rent. Yahoo, I'm tellin' ya, its little things like that; that I'm grateful for.
I need to get to work, so I'm closing for now. I hope to buy a new computer within the next month so I'll be posting pictures of places, people and things I see and visit.

Awesome
I'm so grateful to be a part of a church where the Temple stands strong and members are alive and that the Lords hand has taken control.
“There was great joy both for the leaders in Japan and the leaders here as we were finally able to report that every missionary is safe and accounted for,” said Elder David F. Evans, an executive director of the Church's Missionary Department, who also spoke at a press conference.
Around 200 missionaries are being evacuated to other missions north and south of Sendai but will remain in Japan. “We are moving them to very safe distances. Whatever the government is saying, we are doubling, we are tripling, that distance.” says Elder Jeffery R Holland.
There are approximately 125,000 Japanese members. All members are safe and accounted for except for three congregations. “We know of no loss of life of a member of the Church yet. That doesn’t mean that we won’t learn of that, but we don’t know of any at this point and we’re very, very grateful for that,” said Elder Holland.

Choose the Good Part
I cried when I heard the below today on the Mormon Channel. It was another reminder that Heavenly Father loves me and that I have purpose in this life. I looked it up and found the article online and read through it and so to my readers here you go.
The more I become involved in the Church and in communities worldwide, the greater becomes my appreciation and respect for good women. Today I would like to pay sincere tribute and give encouragement to these special ladies. My personal definition of a good woman is any woman who is moving in the right direction. I humbly thank God constantly for their courage, strength, and commitment. Through you noble sisters, each in different circumstances in life, by your example, encouragement, conduct, and personal integrity, God’s work goes forward with greater purpose and accomplishment.
But Satan is ever present, trying to destroy our glory and remove our crown. One of his most powerful tools is discouragement. Single sisters, don’t let your discouragement make Satan rejoice.

Awesome Friends
Good morning world :o)
I have been so busy lately and it has been so exciting to be busy to keep my mind going, my body running and my sleep to a minimum. Its been awesome. I have met some awesome, wonderful people and have made great friends.
I have been keeping busy working on homework for class, teaching primary, doing family history, being involved with Mid-Single dances, activities, firesides and FHE. I have been on dates and hanging out with awesome people who realize that each one of us are different and we don't judge each other because of it, rather we build and edify one another.
A few of the activities that I'm involved with are things like a spring training game between the Dodgers and the Oakland A's, a concert called by a HUGE LDS group in Mesa, a Hawaiian Concert in Tempe, a BBQ and Wii night, a possible trip to Tucson for a Singles Conference, Fiddler on the Roof live and then my annual trip to UT for General Conference which I am so excited about. I can't wait. April is full of fun and exciting things too and I'm so excited.
I have been to many dances in the past month and enjoying new people and things. I've made a great friend who recently is returning to the gospel and the light after some time and it has been wonderful to see his testimony grow in the two weeks that I've known him. He will continue to grow and his spirit will be edified and uplifted. His story is awesome and he should write it down so I'll have to tell him.
I have met some awesome people who I need and who need me and I'm so grateful for their friendship and care. I went to a dance the other day and this young kid was there which was odd and then all of a sudden, he asked me to dance and he was there scouting out the gals for his DAD. Yeah, can you believe it, his dad. He has only been home from the mission for 4 days at that point and so he was getting the ladies so that his dad would dance with them. Hilarious! I did and I didn't like him so I moved on!
I'll be teaching the 4 yr olds in primary and they are sooooo cute. One is not a talker, another is ADD, another is way to smart and another is just there.
I need to get to work so I need to go.

I have been so busy lately and it has been so exciting to be busy to keep my mind going, my body running and my sleep to a minimum. Its been awesome. I have met some awesome, wonderful people and have made great friends.
I have been keeping busy working on homework for class, teaching primary, doing family history, being involved with Mid-Single dances, activities, firesides and FHE. I have been on dates and hanging out with awesome people who realize that each one of us are different and we don't judge each other because of it, rather we build and edify one another.
A few of the activities that I'm involved with are things like a spring training game between the Dodgers and the Oakland A's, a concert called by a HUGE LDS group in Mesa, a Hawaiian Concert in Tempe, a BBQ and Wii night, a possible trip to Tucson for a Singles Conference, Fiddler on the Roof live and then my annual trip to UT for General Conference which I am so excited about. I can't wait. April is full of fun and exciting things too and I'm so excited.
I have been to many dances in the past month and enjoying new people and things. I've made a great friend who recently is returning to the gospel and the light after some time and it has been wonderful to see his testimony grow in the two weeks that I've known him. He will continue to grow and his spirit will be edified and uplifted. His story is awesome and he should write it down so I'll have to tell him.
