How many of you have stories to tell? How many of you have pictures stored away where no one gets to see them? Do you want your heritage to be forgotten?
I have just started my own business as a Personal Publishing Consultant for Heritage Makers. Heritage Makers is a digital scrapbooking website. We offer many products besides storybooks. Greeting cards, decks of cards, family picture folds, cookbooks, posters, and more. Our books are library bound-very secure! Some of our most popular items right now are a "Familyland" game and a "Proclamation of the Family" poster surrounded by your pictures.
Even if you aren't a "scrapbooker," you can do this! It's easy and a friendly website to use. Kenyan even helped me create a deck of cards.
Go check out my website at www. YourStoryToday.com and see our products. If you want more details let me know. I would be more than happy to sit down with you and tell you more about what this wonderful site entails. If you would like to host a workshop I can do that for you to! If you're not located in Utah I can still help you out. Email me at YourStoryToday@gmail.com
Share your story today and don't let them be forgotten.

Fun Facts
As I continue to take breaks from writing my papers, or continue to stall, here are some fun facts about St. Patrick's Day I found on the internet:
- In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps. Children wear orange, white and green badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons in their hair. (Lots of green at school today!)
- In Chicago, the Chicago River is dyed green with a special dye that only lasts a few hours.
- There has been a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Boston, Massachusetts since 1737.
- St. Patrick was born in 385 AD somewhere along the west coast of Britain, possibly in the Welsh town of Banwen. At age 16, he was captured and sold into slavery to a sheep farmer. He escaped when he was 22 and spent the next 12 years in a monastery. In his 30s he returned to Ireland as a Christian missionary. He died at Saul in 461 AD and is buried at Downpatrick.
- Some American towns have “Irish” names. You could visit: Mount Gay-Shamrock, West Virginia; Shamrock Lakes, Indiana; Shamrock, Oklahoma; Shamrock, Texas; Dublin, California and Dublin, Ohio.
- According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the highest number of leaves found on a clover is 14!
- One estimate suggests that there are about 10 000 regular three-leaf clovers for every lucky four-leaf clover.
- Legend says that each leaf of the clover means something: the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and the fourth for luck.

Anyone there?
I want to apologize for the lack of posts lately, but apparently that seems to be the case with everyone lately as I look down my blog list. I haven't had anything really exciting to blog about; therefore, no posts.
On Sunday I got a new calling in the ward (well it's not official yet) I'm no longer in the primary, I am joining the ranks of the Young Women as the Beehive advisor. I'm really excited-I love being in Young Women!
I got my graduation announcements in the mail about a week ago, wahoo! The light is getting brighter and brighter. I have to brag about what a wonderful husband I have. Kenyan has been so supportive and helped me so much around the house. He has made some delicious dinners lately!
So here's the timeline:
April 8th-Mail in National Board papers (Sleep all day on April 9th since I will be off track!)
May 2nd-Graduation!
May 7th-Last day of my math classes
July 16th -Officially done with my masters degree-last day of classes!
July 17th-Amy and I are partying like rockstars because we don't have any more classes!!
I'm exhausted, I know it will be worth it when it is done, but as of right now I don't know how much longer I can go. Pray for me!
