Blog, blog, blog.

I posted this on jeff's blog this morning, thought I'd share it here too. :))

First off: Jeff has been out for one year and two days!! WOOHOO!

Second: Last week, Jeff told me to write something from me and to share my testimony. I had no clue what to share. But last night as I was studying the scriptures it came to me. I was studying in the Book of Mormon, reading the book of Ether, in Chapter 2 when the Lord is talking to the Brother of Jared about how to light the Barges that his people built. In verse 25 it says:

And behold, I prepare ye against these things; for ye cannot cross the great deep save I prepare you against the waves of the sea, and the winds that have gone forth, and the floods which shall come. Therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you that ye may have light when ye are swallowed up in the depths of the sea?


This verse, for me, is saying that the Lord doesn't send us trials that we are not previously prepared for. We might not know that we are strong enough or smart enough or prepared enough for what He is aking, but the Lord knows we are. He will never give us a challenge we can't beat and He is always, always, ALWAYS there waiting for us to ask for help.. I know that with every fiber of my being. I know my Savior loves me. I know He wants to help me in all that I do. I know that when I exercise my agency and choose to ask Him for help He will do anything and everything to help. I know that if we don't ask, He can't help! He gave us agency as a part of this earthly test. We MUST choose Him. And as we do, we will be blessed. I know, like I KNOW that this is true. I know that this church is the one and only true church on the earth today. I love this gospel, I love my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And I Say these things in the blessed name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Blarging is fun!

But when you don't really have an exciting life, it's hard. :)

On the 21st of May I moved in with Billiam and Cortney and sweet baby Bruiser (Bruin). :) So far, it's a good time! I love spending time with all three of them and taking good care of my sweet nephew nearly every day! Bill and Cort left Bruin and I at home yesterday to go on a little "Staycation" in Scottsdale. First time leaving the baby for so long and the farthest they've EVER been from him. Crazy! But he was a PERFECT angel. Seriously. Took two hour naps, went to bed at 8 and didn't wake up until 6:30 am. I'm pretty much exhausted though, seeing as I've been up since then as well.. ;) I'm very happy and so excited for the possibilities. I'm looking for a job and I'm open for childcare during the week. If you know anyone in the area that needs it! E-mail me: pearlynmarie@gmail.com or call me! 520.304.5973

that's all I have going on for now. Love you all! :)

I thought this was semi appropriate for the goings on with my family..

Watch to the end. :)





I love my grandpa. [:

It's kind of like a JACK in the BOX.

So, I'm taking this semester off from school. And to be honest with you, I'll probably take next semester off too. I start out the semester excited and energized. That fades and I end up not doing well in my classes at all. I don't like not doing well in my classes, I just get a little lazy and things start slipping.... I know, lame excuse. Anyways, to get to the point of my blog... ;) Massage Therapy has returned to the forefront of my mind as a profession. Like the title says, it's kinda like a Jack in the Box. It pops up in my mind at random times, surprising me, it sticks around for varying amounts of time and then returns to it's hiding place to jump back out at an undisclosed point in time. I don't know if I'll go through with it, but I'm going to tour the school I'm looking at at the end of the month. Cross your fingers and pray for me to know the right decision! I'm working on figuring things out. Hopefully it won't take too long to figure it out, this time. ♥ :]

:D Awesome, awesome, awesome.

OH! And...

Oh, how I love being busy!

Since I've come home, I've had tons of free time on my hands. I've kinda been getting a little stir crazy because I had NOTHING to do. Okay, I had stuff to do, it was just stuff I didn't WANT to do, so I didn't.. And last semester I took a couple classes, but nothing too extensive and they definitely didn't keep me very busy.. I also worked in my dad's Chiropractic office one morning a week. TOTALLY boring. Most definitely not what I wanted to continue doing for the rest of the school year.
So, I got a job working at a P.I. firm, doing admin work. It's completely different from Chiropractic admin work. Much more interesting, and I LOVE it. I ride the bus to and from work, which is a HUGE step for me. I was spoiled and positive I would NEVER ride the bus, EVER. And now I ride it three to four days a week. It's very liberating. I'm going to buy myself a laptop in the next couple of weeks (about 4-6), and I'm taking an online writing course this semester. After I buy my laptop, I'm going to start saving for a car. Very exciting.. It's a wonderful feeling, being busy & self reliant. I love it more than I care to admit. :)

BabyBabyBaby.

This is Bruin Jayson Elrey. He was born on October 9th, 2009. I can't get enough of him and I love him to death. He is the sweetest baby boy.. I love to make him smile. He will be three months old on Saturday. He's a great addition to the Elrey family. Bill is an AWESOME dad and Cortney is a sweet, sweet momma. They make an adorable little family and I can't wait for their next baby. I will try to post some pictures of his blessing day soon.. But for now I just wanted to share him with you. :))
