Our Happy Life: July 2013
http://thefutureislookingbright-shanks.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. My secret to SPARKLE: how to. Okay so, as some of you may know, I worked as a jewelry (diamonds- mmmmm) sales girl for 3 years and then continued working as an office girl in a jewelry store until Stetson was born. I HATE dropping my jewelry off to be cleaned, and luckily, because my ring is mostly yellow gold, I don't have to have it rhodium plated. Paper towels if you're in a rush). Next, RINSE. (HOT water works wonders). Now let your ring drip the excess alcohol off, and slip...

Our Happy Life: Why *I THINK* Social Media is the PERFECT place to discuss issues and share opinions.

Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Why *I THINK* Social Media is the PERFECT place to discuss issues and share opinions. If you don't like that I am opinionated, close this window now. Because you won't be liking the topic of this blog post- which is the title. I THINK social media is a GREAT, fantastic, wonderful, the perfect, place to discuss issues and share opinions. I really do. 3) WHO CARES IF YOUR OPINION IS DIFFERENT? If you have a differing opinion than one of your friends or family members then EXPRESS ...

Our Happy Life: Something nagging at the back of my mind.
http://thefutureislookingbright-shanks.blogspot.com/2012/01/something-nagging-at-back-of-my-mind.html
Tuesday, January 10, 2012. Something nagging at the back of my mind. I have read, over and over, so many arguments about why this should change. IE: "Brittney Spears was married for 30-something hours, Tiger Woods cheated on his wife with more women than are in most shopping malls at one time, Straight people marry for money, sex, and other things, and YOU," (straight people), "think that WE," (gay people) "are going to 'pervert' the institution of marriage? It is a load of crap. I do not think that tryi...

Our Happy Life: Taking Comfort
http://thefutureislookingbright-shanks.blogspot.com/2014/06/taking-comfort.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. I've debated writing this post for a while. I have thought about it for months now. There are so many things that bring these thoughts to mind. The positive stories don't change my faith. The negative stories don't change my testimony. I made a choice and I'm sticking with it. A few days ago, my sweetie and I were watching the movie, "Secondhand Lions," and we got to this part. I take comfort in the things I stand for. I take comfort believing what I do. So, my family and friends,...

Our Happy Life: November 2013

Friday, November 8, 2013. Why my FAMILY WILL be the CENTER of my universe. And why I hate the wording of that other blog post. Okay friends, family, random people who will be reading this. Clearly I am opinionated. Clearly my opinions will differ from others. Obviously you can choose whether or not to keep reading. Don't get ticked at me if you disagree with what I think. My baby has been the center of my universe for the last 9.5 months and my life couldn't feel any more fulfilled. He KNOWS that...My ch...

Our Happy Life: August 2013

Thursday, August 15, 2013. Modesty: My Experience on both sides. I think that a lot of people hear the word modesty and think of polygamists, women in the Middle East, and pioneers/pilgrims. Well, let me tell you, those are VERY limited views of modesty. To me, modesty means that I would be comfortable wearing what I'm wearing if I was sitting in the same room with my Savior. Seriously. That easy. Bam. So: Am I going to wearing mini skirts, tank tops, bikinis, or belly shirts? No Not even a little. I kno...

Our Happy Life: May 2013

Wednesday, May 29, 2013. I am pro choice, and so is God. He told Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden that everything was for their use but not to eat the forbidden fruit on the Tree of Knowledge. Well, he also told them they would "die" if they partook of the fruit, and they did anyway. So they died. In this particular instance death was not physical, death was being removed from the presence of their Heavenly Father. So, here's why I say God is pro choice. So am I pro choice? Yes, I believe that women ha...
