I started work up again at the school, which meant waking up at 5:30 am and being at work by 6:00am for an 8 hour shift. Long days, and I wasn't accustomed to my janitor life hours again. And to add to it, I had something everyday right after work. I was exhausted, loony, and grouchy. I didn't want to be around myself and sometimes would freak out on others who didn't deserve it. I felt like it was alright though because I was so tired. But in all of its entirety, I just didn't.
Work is actually quite fun on occasion. My coworkers are awesome, keep me alive with random jokes, and we have an all around good time. So it was about time I tried to have some sort of motivation.
I was losing my desire to give sincere prayers and do real scripture study because I was so tired and felt like I didn't need it in the moment. But my friends, in the moments when we feel like we don't need to say a real prayer to our Father in Heaven, or truly study the scriptures, is the actual moment we do need to do it. Heavenly Father does sincerely want to hear us. He wants to give us the answers to our trials. That should be our motivation.

This wouldn't be a blog post if there wasn't photos!--Granted these are from a couple weeks ago!
My fabulous, gorgeous, and funny little cousin Megan tagged me in this Instagram's page. Needless to say it was exactly what I needed and I almost wet myself laughing because I feel like these are entirely true.
Guilty. I've done this many a time.
The sad truth.
I actually had some Pho yesterday.
Sheesh. I have a dog people!
The struggle is alive and real.
Pops finally got his iWatch! He was super happy.
Ohhhh I love these goons.
Come to Summer Seminary! Every Tuesday at 10:00am!
Love this girl. As much as she can drive me nuts, she makes me happy.
Her little sister however, is usually happy. But that day she was a crankster! This video proves it all.
But just like her aunt, food makes her happy.
Seeing cows and remembering my Moogan. She was gone to EFY that week and I felt lonely.
This kid kept taking my shoe! Probably didn't help that I was putting grass all over him.
Alex was called to the Edmonton Canada mission! He's going to be a great missionary!!
The frustration we felt when Alex told us he already opened his call with his family. What a stinker.
Oh well, we still love him.
Look at that skill. Church is true. Ft. the adventure shoes
Oh the temple was much needed. Notice all the squinty eyes...karma is what it's called I believe.
A random citizen asked if we wanted our picture taken, we gratefully obliged. Then we asked a couple if they wanted theirs taken, and then the man started asking questions about the temple--like he was an investigator. We started answering his questions and then he told us "just kidding, we're members." We laughed and after they left Tanner said "I was getting ready to start whipping out scripture references!" Very true though. It's good to know about the temple for times like that. Even if we realized later that the man and his wife were dressed up, had temple bags, and he had a temple tie pin.
After which, we of course got Farrs Ice Cream...or custard. Equally as satisfying.
When the boys steal your phone.
Oh nothings up at work...I leave for two minutes and I come back to this. Just look closely.
Impromptu babysitting with these two. Look at that luscious hair.
Well hi Mike.
Oh ya know, just practicing to make headbands for girls camp.
Crop top Mormon style.
This is my new life motto.
This girl turned THREE!!! Where has the time gone? I remember going crazy when she was born and leading up to it. I was so excited that I would text Kari at least once a week to see how she was feeling. I love this little girl so much.
Saw the Cokesville Miracle with these two crazies. If you haven't already seen it, it's a must. Go watch it! NOW.
There's never a dull moment with these two.
Of course we had to take a stroll over to the temple. Entirely satisfying for the soul.
Work: Warrior style.
Lets just take a moment to see that there is a photo that exists with my eyes closed.

Awards we used for girls camp. Love Rhonna Designs. You're welcome to use this.
Just hanging in there.
She loves her uncle Adam.
Kazia post swim. Her diaper gets so big. It reminds me of the old lady from the movie Robots, with really bad gas. That basically sums up Kaz.
She's seriously adorable I can't even handle it.
Impromptu party with some of my favorite white people.
How could you not love this charm?
Or this?
Taking selfies for the Carly. The new Annie is so good. Go watch it!
Face timing this kid and his wife is always fun. Too bad I was too late in getting his crazy faces that he makes.
Jurassic World with these weirdos. It was so good. Go watch it! Now I have to rewatch all the Jurassic Parks. But seriously, go watch it!
Yet another day of filming for Sickay. Click here to see the Facebook page for the up and coming film and it includes the trailer. It's pretty rad.
We're sad because it's our last night of partying with Zachaby before he leaves to serve the people of Hawaii. This kid is going to be a stellar missionary. 2 years ain't got nothin on the squad!
Paused at the perfect spot.
Hank and Fredrico are getting along quite nicely. Unfortunately, I had to cut Fredrico off his strings, don't try wrapping that around your rearview mirror. It takes about 10 minutes in a hot car to get that untangled before you finally chop it.
We decided to go to this huge food truck thing in Layton. However, Utah weather finally decided to heat up, and lots of people were there. The lines were long. And we just finally left. Lesson learned: Americans+Food=VERY GOOD TURNOUT.
Instead we went to Kim Long's and had some delish fried calamari (squid) and Pho.
Spring rolls be on point.
Holy Pho...
So Adam and Mogene had some friends over to swim and have a fire late. I unfortunately had just showered and wanted a s'more. So I asked Adam to make me one. And he did!...an hour later. And just a few minutes after I brushed my teeth. So like the great brother he is, he made me a s'more for breakfast! Best (and first) breakfast s'more ever.
