Fun Fun Fun

Posted by Abby Marie at 9:55 AM

Well, life has been pretty good since that first week back from New Zealand. I am having so much fun at my apartment in Provo I can hardly stand it. I went on a week long trip to New Mexico to visit my sister Sarah and now the job search is officially on. I'm running out of money so I need a job...quick :) I meet new people everyday and just enjoy life! Here are some pictures of what I have been doing since I moved to Provo:


I bought this dress for $6 at D.I. My roommate and I went around campus taking pictures of us in our cool dresses. This picture is in the Library.
This is a picture of me at the Zoo in New Mexico. Those are vultures above me. Apparently my nephew Jeston got pooped on when he stood below these birds, but I wasn't so unfortunate.
Janessa (my New Zealand Roommate) and I showing of her excellent birthday cake that some of us made for her.

My friends Julia and Ben and I at Battle of the Bands at Muse Music in Provo. I was rockin out.
This is everyone outside the Zoo in New Mexico. All four Porter Sisters and their kids.

Hi Abby! This is Sarah (Hannah's friend) - it sounds like you had a great time in New Zealand(I know...great doesn't even begin to describe your experience). Aren't you so glad you went? I am so jealous! Every so often I sure do miss Invercargill - the lifestyle is unbeatable and it is just so beautiful! I miss the people and so much about it. Isn't it great to learn things you never thought you'd learn and to be successful at them? Its so empowering. I've loved reading your posts about your trip, if only I could do it again!

I AM PECULIAR (this is a permanent post. If you have already read it, scroll down to see my latest)

Those of you who read my blog could probably make a list of all the reasons that you think I am a bit peculiar. No worries, I would be the first to shout an amen to everything you could think of. I know I’m peculiar; but let me tell you the number one thing on my list that I think makes me a peculiar person.

I know where I come from, why I am here and where I am going. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of you will know me as a “Mormon” although that is just a nickname. The word ‘Saint’ just means ‘member’ in this context. I believe in God the Eternal Father, that I am a daughter of God, and that He loves me and wants me to be happy. I believe in my Savior Jesus Christ who lived a perfect life, atoned for my sins, died and was resurrected all that I might enjoy the blessing of being forgiven of my sins, and having my body and spirit reunited after death. I know that just as God called prophets in the Old and New Testament times that He has in fact called a prophet to lead and guide us today. I believe that families can live together for eternity; death does not have to be the end of our relationships with the ones we love. Some of you may wonder how on earth I can know these things. As I learn more and more from the Bible and other scriptures and actually live what I learn I see the promises the Lord has made being fulfilled in my life, and I feel the Holy Spirit bear witness that these things are true.

I know, I’m peculiar, but thankfully there are over 13 million other peculiar members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and with each year that number grows. I feel so much joy and happiness in my life because of this knowledge. If you want to know more depth about anything I have said that makes me peculiar, visit www.mormon.org. This website explains in detail much of what I have just professed to believe and more.
