Blah

I am feeling like I might be getting sick. I am just so on edge and really tired. Hopefully it’s just today and I will not be coming down with anything.

Today we had Stake Conference but it was a Regional one. We got to hear from our Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley. It was wonderful. I took really good notes.

For my Personal Progress project in Individual Worth I have written two songs. They just came to me, music and all. I have NO experience in writing music or songs. I feel like I have been blessed with a hidden talent. Bryan bought me a little tape recorder on Saturday so I can tape the song so I don’t forget how I want it to sound. Writing the music on paper is going to be the hardest part. Bryan is going to help me with the piano part. He is speechless that I wrote two entire songs in 6 days. It’s really strange but I am excited for this new challenge. My kids already know both songs and have been singing them.

Individual Worth Experience

By Robyn Cardon - February 24, 2007 - 6 Comments

For one of my Personal Progress experiences in Individual Worth I have to record some goals for my future family & personal goals and then share them with a friend or a family member. Well, since both friends and family visit my blog I thought I would just list them here…..

*To get organized in my household chores
*To prepare a weekly meal menu and stick with it
*To be more frugal
*To love my family and to serve them
*To implement a daily chore chart for my kids
*To start a daily schedule and follow it regularly
*To become the kind of person I want to be by serving others regularly

I know there are more goals that I have but I didn’t want to list them all. Yaaaa! I just finished another PP experience!!

Mt. St. Helens Memory

By Robyn Cardon - February 23, 2007 - 3 Comments




From the time I was 5 until I was 12 I lived in Battle Ground, Washington. Those were great years of my childhood. Probably the best I can remember. One of my memories was in May of 1980 when Mt. St. Helen’s blew. We watched it errupt from our front yard. It was amazing. I remember that we had ash as deep as snow and we had to wear masks to school for a month. I also remember that when we got snow the next winter it was gray instead of white. My dad owned a coin shop at the time and had a special Mt. St. Helen’s silver dollar made. I don’t know what happened to them all but I wish now that I had one. Memories……

Finding my place…

By Robyn Cardon - February 21, 2007 - 3 Comments

Right now I am serving in two different church callings. I am the Beehive Advisor and the Enrichment Leader. I have never had either calling so I am trying to figure them both out. For the Young Women we have “New Beginnings” coming up and for the Relief Society we have the Relief Society Birthday coming up. This is going to be a busy time for me. I’m really excited to find my “place” in these callings. They are both a little different for me. I have a Counselor directly over me and I have to learn to work with them and do what is delegated to me. I just want to do my best. I love both the girls I get to work with and I admire them. They are great role models and I need that.

What I am most excited about right now is making the posters for Relief Society. It is something I can use my Cricut for! I don’t think I’ve ever made a poster for Enrichment. I have done the postcard fliers many times but never something big. This will be a challenge but a fun one.

Sticky mess!!!

By Robyn Cardon - February 20, 2007 - 5 Comments

Well, I guess it really is one of those days!! I went to get ready in my bedroom while I left the boys watching Noggin. I came out and couldn’t believe my eyes. Thomas, my 2 year old, had grabbed the bottle of pancake syrup from the table and had squeezed it out EVERYWHERE in our living room. He even squeezed it on the wall, on Katelyn’s Hannah Montana CD, on the CD player, the fireplace, his blankie, ALL over the carpet. Then he had the nerve to cry why I took him to time out like he didn’t know what he did was wrong. Give me a break. You had it easy, kid!! You are lucky I’m not a mom who likes to spank. Honestly I’m not really mad. I am past that point. Kind of like a shrug my shoulders, what can you do, sort of feeling. Wow!! We’ve got a big mess to clean but I can’t do it now because I am on my way out the door!! I took pics so I will upload them with this later.

Personal Progress

By Robyn Cardon - February 20, 2007 - 2 Comments

Well, I have officially finished one experience in “Individual Worth”. I stood up in Young Womens on Sunday and just said what I did. Then I got to pick a piece of candy out of the jar. I feel like such a kid!! Anyway, the experience that I did was look up a few scriptures about how Heavenly Father knows each one of us individually and how we are all children of God. Then I wrote in my journal about what that means to me. One thought that came to me during this reading was that I am not just another person put here on this earth among millions but I had a personal relationship with God before and he knows me now. Because he knows me he can help me with my individual trials. I know that when I pray I am talking to my Father in Heaven. I am a child of God.
