joy in the journey: June 2014
http://bejoyruss.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. Doing: driving home from North Dakota. Looking at: wide open spaces. It's Wyoming. The sunset is nice though. Listening to: Don't Stop Believing Glee cast version. Haha remember when my VHS mads tried to sing that song? Eating: nothing. Starving. Feeling: pain. In my booty. Tired bum, anyone? Wishing: I had a large plate of fresh fruit in front of me. Wanting: that boy to text me. Needing: to lose a good 10ish pounds before by best friends wedding in August. If we allow it to be.

Reaching New Heights: Mother of Two
http://thesmithstendermercies.blogspot.com/2015/07/mother-of-two.html
July 13, 2015. My due date was April 16th. The Dr had me scheduled to be induced on my due date. She says that I have "big babies" and she didn't want me to risk having complications. On the 14th, I started having stronger contractions in the afternoon. I timed them and kept track. They were about every 10 minutes. Then my sister-in-law came over with her baby. We talked and played. I was distracted and didn’t think about the contractions as much. After she left, Josh came home and we ate a late dinner.

Saturday, January 17, 2015. This was not my plan.". It is as truly a blasphemous interference with the prerogatives of Diety to set limitations or make fixations of time or place at which the divine power shall be made manifest as it is to attempt to usurp that power. God alone must decide when and how His wonders shall be wrought." - James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ. So I suppose it is about time I wrote this post. It has been several months since I promised I would share it so here it goes. Then anot...

Bretleigh: January 2012
http://bretleigh.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Monday, January 30, 2012. So this week I had my first Zone Conference, although it was really with two Zones because President Peterson doesn´t want to come all the way to the end of the earth! There were a whole bunch of letters and everyone was really excited. Only guess what- they were all for me! I bet you are...

Monday, April 29, 2013. Last email as a Missionary: April 15, 2013. This is it. Where did this time go? I seriously have no idea! I never want it to end! Everyone is asking me how I feel. This is how I feel:. Grateful to have recieved the prompting to serve a mission. Grateful that I obeyed that prompting. Well th...

Awkward. Motivated. Obsessed.: Feminist Friday: Careful
http://stonemansaidtoday.blogspot.com/2015/07/feminist-friday-careful.html
Awkward. Motivated. Obsessed. Welcome to my world, folks. July 10, 2015. A huge part of the modern feminist movement is the discussion of power. How women are underselling themselves, how young girls are taught to hide their mental and physical power from an early age since they need to be girly, etc. Like Emma Watson has stated, the world needs to reassess how they perceive the power that women have. If you are wondering, the street barber is a gentleman. Here's the great haircuts,. The Diary of Ash Jim.

The Beijing Shegs: January 2013
http://theshegruds.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 14, 2013. Through the polluted haze. We live right in the center of this huge city and you can't even see the enormous buildings that are more than a block away. Everything is so gray and dreary. Ick Needless to say, we have been staying inside as much as possible this weekend! When we move back to the states, I will have so much more appreciation for clean, safe air to breathe. Friday, January 4, 2013. I had a big moment last week. I actually craved real Chinese food! Joel's school had t...

Sunday, April 21, 2013. Today is Will's first birthday! Just before I started writing this post, Joel and I were browsing through some photos from our very first days in China and I can't believe how much little Will has grown since we've been here! This is the very first picture we took in China! We were SO tired after our long trip. But Will still looked happy and chipper. He's changed so much since then! This is a more current picture.:). So happy birthday my little boy! I can hardly believe the love ...

The Beijing Shegs: Late night breathing problems
http://theshegruds.blogspot.com/2014/03/late-night-breathing-problems.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Late night breathing problems. I am deep in the midst of a pity party this week. Spring is finally here and the weather is warm, but we've been mostly stuck inside because the air has been so unhealthy. Today, it's 70 degrees out but. Will and I only ventured out once (quickly! In our pollution masks to buy groceries. It's absolutely miserable to not be able to go out and enjoy these warm days with our little boy. Holding tight on the subway! The ultimate Smart Car. Yes i mean no.
