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.

Unbelievable Blessings
I have been prompted A LOT recently to please do some research on the Wicke family history and the Wicke line. I was able to go to the Mesa Temple in AZ on Saturday 05 Feb 2011 and do baptisms for 8 women and 7 men. I was a little afraid that I wouldn't be able to do the male names because frankly there are rarely enough men at the temple to do a session let alone baptisms at 8 am Saturday morning.
To begin, I got there late and a group from one of the Tucson stakes arrived and so they were trying to squeeze me in because if you go to do family names or individually, you have to go between certain hours which I was not aware of. So needless to say, I was a little scared already. However within seconds my heart was calm and I knew that these sweet family members would be completed. I get dressed, they take me right to the font to do the female names and I look up through the glass around the font and I see someone I know. Now, how did Heavenly Father know and how did Tyler Tippets know that I was going to need these names done? I prayed while getting dressed that someone would be extra so that I could have their names done at the same time so that is a testimony to me that Heavenly Father answers prayers just in the nick of HIS own time.
Tyler and his friend from his ward were able to perform those baptisms for me and be with me for mine and to help me do the confirmations as well. It was awesome. I cried while Tyler was being baptized for these males. I cried because it was because of one of them that I got started in the research of family and helping get their names together for joining them for eternity. Thank you Tyler for being there and Thank you for being humble enough to hold the power of God and do the sweet work that we've been asked to do.
This morning I prayed that I would be of service to those who need me and what happens at lunch? I log out and stay at my computer because I knew that if I could do just a little bit more research I'd find someone or something that would take my research back to Hawaii. I saved on my flash drive quite a few names and information from prior research so I just clicked on one and it opened to the obituaries for a Wicke that died in CA in 2009. As I read through it, he was returned back to HI to be buried at the Cemetery of Diamond Head on Oahu, Hawaii. Seriously? Did I just read that? Did that just say that there is a family plot of in Hawaii of Wickes and their family members dating all the way back to 1844 ( I did the research on the cemetery and that is what I found).
OK, so then I jump online to find a flight to Hawaii and they are about $800. Then all of a sudden, I do a search again and dang it, a blessing popped up, $438 R/T PHX to HNL mid August!! WTH. I can't believe it. If I can just hold that price until Friday, I'm snagging it because its Payday!!!
I know that miraculous blessings come when we least expect them and that when one is obedient to the commandments of God, he will deliver and he always does. I love my Father in Heaven and I so appreciate the Savior, he has been with me for over the past 37 years of my life and I need to remember that and grasp hold of his hands and never let go.
I'm coming Wickes, I'm coming. I'm doing the work as fast as I can. Hang in there, you'll be sealed.

The Road to Travel
I was at work this morning listening to Church Educational System Fireside March 2, 2003 Elder Donald L. Staheli and while I was working, yes I can do both.
As Elder Staheli was speaking he said that we choose our own road to travel and it was just a reminder that yes, even though we make our own choices we are still affected by choices that others make it is what we do with what we learn that makes us closer and more like our Savior. He had choices too and he followed what he knew to the T and followed his father. What am I doing? Am I watching TV on Sunday instead of serving others that need me? Am I doing my family history rather than doing frivolous stuff. Don't get me wrong hanging out at the bonfire is tons of fun but what do I do when I get there? Do I mingle and socialize or do I sit and expect people to know who I am? Am I meeting people and getting out there?
I'm a little skeptical right now to do that. I am NOT throwing myself under the bus anymore. I won't pay for a date unless I ask you to come. I won't drive anywhere that I don't need to drive to unless I ask.
I have a question to ask my bishop actually tomorrow night about my sealing. I figured out this last weekend that if I decide to get remarried, heaven forbid and that poor man better be educated, rich and has teenage kids with a firm testimony, that the sealing from Nathan will be broken and vice versa he and that poor girl who decides to marry him. What happens to the blessings of the sealing for either one of us even though it wasn't my decision to get the divorce. The divorce wasn't my idea and I as far as I am concerned didn't do anything wrong to make it end. I didn't even sign any papers and I didn't just get up and leave because I didn't want to support a family. So, my big question on Wednesday is to find out what happens to the sealing if one of us decides to get married and the other one doesn't.
I need to go back to work. Oh yeah, Kenji was going to come and visit me this weekend but because of 18"-22" of snow all over the east and Midwest he can't come, sooo we're not going to go from Chandler, AZ to Las Vegas, NV to St George, UT over to Cedar City and then to visit the grave sites of our grandparents who are barried in Kanab and then back down through Lake Powell and back down to Chandler. Sorry peeps!

What Sundays are for
I woke up at 6 this morning, took Kale for a walk (no surprise), read scriptures and got ready for church. I knew that today would be a fabulous day since last week our ward was notified that we'd be receiving and sustaining a new bishopric. Wow, awesome I thought, I'm in a ward that is just awesome and I'll miss the bishop and his kindness. Bishop Curtis Farnsworth as been a bishop in 2 different wards over an 11 year period and served for 8 years. Holla, wow, what a long time. He was fabulous.
Sundays are to be rejuvenated, uplifted and edified. I'm so grateful for Sundays and I love them.
The only thing that I can say is, I walked through the doors today, sat down and looked straight at the back of the head of the new bishop (which I didn't know yet) and thought to myself, I wonder if its him, it looks like his parents are here and the spirit is very strong. Sure enough, the stake president stands and calls Bishop Matt Porter. I knew it. As soon as I glanced over at him, he had angels that were surrounding him and he just looked the part with the keys of the father of the ward with angels carrying him. It was so heavenly and sacred. I couldn't believe what I personally was seeing. As I watched him walk up to the front with his counselors, holy cow, it was fabulous. I know that the three were called of God. I know that we have leaders, teachers and callings filled because that is where Heavenly Father wants them for a specific purpose. Bishop Porter, your family will be blessed. You will not fail and with your faith and the faith of Marie, your family will progress and wow, what a awesome experience.
The spirit was AWESOME in primary. Each month this year they will have a scripture hero dress up and deliver a message about their story and what they did. Today it was Joseph Smith. It was awesome and the Holy Ghost testified to each of those sweet kids, the teachers and all that were there that the Scriptures are the Word of God and that by them we can have peace and freedom IF we live and abide by them.
I was invited to go WICKED on Saturday and let me tell you, it rocked. Craig was so nice about it. He invited me, he picked me up, he paid for lunch which we packed up and brought back and had for dinner too. He met my dog and we just laughed and talked a lot. I also had the spirit touch me to tell me to please, please pray WITH his 4 children. He will be a better father because of it and that his kids won't be so rambunctious if he did and he wouldn't stress out so much because of his ex wife. He will also be blessed with his job so that he can continue to help his kids and survive in this life. I was also prompted to tell him to just keep moving forward and to not look back at what has happened because Heavenly Father has great things in store for him. It was awesome for to follow the spirit and be guided to tell him those things. It was like Heavenly Father was speaking to me too and Craig just happened to be there.
My class for MAED/AET, AET505, Foundations of Adult Education is ending and today my last assignment is due. I'm actually waiting for 8 PM to roll around so that I can turn it on.
This last week, I was told at work too that I'll be receiving another raise of 6.1%. The entire university is doing a market evaluation and moving current employees to match the market. I cannot say how excited that I am that Heavenly Father has allowed me to be where I am, have the job that I do, return to school again and have the ability to pay off my car by Jan 2012. I cannot believe it yet I see his hands taking me through this life. I know that I am no longer married so that he can use me in a different way. I know that I married Nathan to bless his life as he needed to be blessed and likewise myself.
I've been reading the word, "healing, to heal, heal, healed" a lot in the Book of Mormon lately and it is fabulous how it is used to heal through the Resurrection and healing through the Atonement. 2 Nefi refers to both of them if someone wants to know. It is fabulous that we are able to be healed every Sunday as we partake of the sacrament and every time we attend the temple. It is awesome.
I learned this past week too that charity and visiting teaching and love go, oh so hand in hand. I am grateful for a visiting teaching companion who taught me that this last week that when we ask someone if they need anything to not be fake about it and to love them. Monica Pack, thank you and I'm grateful for the humble reminder.
I need to get this last team assignment in so I'm closing for now. I have a busy week with FHE at the park and a bonfire on Monday, Kale has a hair cut, I'm going to go to the family history center on Tues and there is a Stake RS Activity on Sat. Yahoo and Veronica Lindenmuth is getting married Saturday so I'll be going to that too. Good thing I don't have class ;o)
