Children learning....

"While we try to teach children all about life, children teach us what life is all about."

Disapointing you...

"Sometimes, people disappoint you. Sometimes they surprise you... But you never really get to know them... until you listen for what's in their hearts.

The Happiest people.....

"The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have."

A lie...

"Nothing is worth having if it's based on a lie."

Forgiving people.....

"Why is it that it's so much easier to forgive a stranger than someone you love?"

Being tested...

"It's only when you're tested that you truly discover who you are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be."

Mistakes....

"If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems... and that's a mistake."

Risking it all......

"If your not willing to risk it all, there's no way you can have it all. What are you not willing to risk losing?

Low point in your life.....

"God allows us to experience the low points in life on order to teach us lessons we could not learn in any other way. The way we learn those lessons is not to deny the feelings but to find the meanings underlying them."

The Worst Thing......

"The worst thing in life, is ending up with people who make you feel all alone."

Getting everyhting you want....

"What's worse, not getting everything you wished for...or getting it, and finding out it's not enough?"

Surprised Again.....

My little best friend and Jen came to visit me last week. They surprised me again!! I'm glad I got to hangout with my little best friend, I have missed her so much. We went to Apple Hill and the park and just hungout around the house. Thanks for coming to visit can't wait to see you again.

American Saturday Night Tour 2009

First Loss of the season......

The Utah Utes had there first loss of the season today against the Oregon Ducks 31-24. It was a good game but not good enough.

*But on a lighter note, BYU lost to FSU today!! Not only did they lose they got killed 54-28, so I guess all and all it was a good day*

One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl......

It's September and everyone knows what that means..... My shows are back!! My favorite show of all time is One Tree Hill. I also love Gossip girl too. I have a party every Monday night with some of my friends. We get together and go eat then it's back to my house to watch out shows!! I can't wait for the season to get underway!!!

Still Undefeated 16th Straight Win.....

Dad and I on are way to the game, Showing our pride and wearing our RED!!!!

The game is underway....

Timeout Utah..

Utah wins..... 24- 14

*Although I'm a little scared for next weeks game against Oregon, but I think Utah can pull off a win though. So we'll see*

Everything happens for a reason.....

"I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn how to let go. Things go wrong, so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies, so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

Football season is here....

My favorite time of the year... College Football. Good luck to the Utes this season. Lets get another perfect season guys!!
(Sorry to Mike, Aunt Debby and Uncle Rob but this isn't your year AGAIN!!) haha

Dreams Come True...

"Take a look at yourself in a mirror. Who do you see looking back? Is it the person you want to be? Or is there someone else you were meant to be? The person you should have been, but fell short of? Is someone telling you you can't? Or you won't? Because you can. Believe that love is out there. Believe that dreams come true everyday.Because they do. Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power. Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family... and from the quite nobility of leading a good life. Believe that dreams come true. Because they do. So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy. Because you deserve to be. Believe that. And Believe that dreams come true everyday.

Measured by numbers....

"Numbers are funny, They can measure you, time you, analyze you all they want... but they all know what really matters is how you play the game. You ever heard the expression "they can't measure heart?" Well the truth is, they can't measure any of it. Heart, want, need.

Need You Now....

What fight will you fight....

"Sometimes fighting the fight means that you have to do the one thing you don't want to."

Who will you trust...

"Life comes at us from out of the darkness and at times we can struggle to find the courage to face it when life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness, who will you choose to face it with? Will it be someone you trust? Will they be wise? And will their love for you help them guide you to the light or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices or will that person be someone untested, someone new? Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness when it does is their someone in your life you can count on? Someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall and in the moment give you the strength to face your fears alone."

What dies inside of us...

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live."

People in your life....

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Saving Brett Fafard....

I was on facebook a couple of weeks and I saw that a friend of mine I use to go to church with has stage 3 testicular cancer... nobody should ever have to go though this!! My thoughts are with you Brett and your family. Here is some more info if you guys would like to help out. Stay strong and keep fighting hard Brett....


As some of you may know, our brother (Brett Fafard) was recently diagnosed (June 8, 2009) with Stage III Testicular Cancer.

At the time of writing this, Brett has currently undergone his 1st round of chemotherapy and has had 2 surgeries to combat the cancer that has invaded his abdomen, chest, liver, lungs and neck. He will be going through about 3-4 more rounds of chemotherapy and after that, possibly more surgery or radiation therapy.

He still has a long way to go in his treatment and is enduring and fighting through the side effects currently accompanying the treatments.

On top of fighting for his life, Brett was forced to withdraw from school during his treatment, and lost his job due to his current inability to work his shifts at the plasma center.
If these challenges weren’t enough, Brett falls into the largest group of uninsured Americans, those aged 19-29. Like a lot of people his age, Brett is too old to be on his parents’ policy, makes too much to qualify for public health care (yikes, $10 per hour is too much?) but can’t afford private insurance.

As a show of support for Brett, we are organizing our own fundraising effort. We are hoping to raise enough money to cover some of his expenses.

If anyone is able to help us reach our goal that would be absolutely great!

We are also looking for anyone who would be willing to gather sponsors, or would be willing to help out in any way. Any and all types of donations will be gratefully accepted, to bring us all closer to our goal of getting Brett through this time, back to health and the full life he is used to!

If you are able to contribute, please click on the link below and make donations through paypal. We also have established a bank account at Wells Fargo. You can go into any branch and make a deposit under Carrie and Mike Butler for the benefit of Brett Fafard zip code 84088. Or click here for http://www.paypal.com paypal the benefit account email address is brettfafard@q.com for paypal.

As you might imagine, Brett is going through a lot and spending most of his time at the hospital these days. Please send your well wishes at this time to this event page only so we can respect his privacy through this difficult time. We will continue to post updates and messages from Brett each week. Thanks for the support!

My New Laptop...

So it's been a while since I have updated my blog I know I'm sorry for that, I have been really busy with work. I got a new laptop too(and by the way still trying to get use to it) but to be honest I don't really know why I got a new laptop cause I hardly turn it on anymore. I have an Iphone and I use that for everything so if I can find out how to update my blog though my Iphone then I will updated it everyday!! haha Dont ask me why I got a new laptop if I have an Iphone, i'm still asking that same question. Oh and I blame twitter too casue i'm always on there. I will try to update this more I promise.
