This has been a great semester. As we come to an end i reflect how grateful i am for everything i have. I am so grateful for my family and everything they do for me. I am so grateful for this gospel and every truth it has brought into my life. I know that it is true and it will keep me on the right path to head back to my Heavenly Father. Last i am so grateful for the campus that i have been privileged to be apart of and make my knowledge grow. The teachers are amazing and have such great words to shear.

This week again made me think of my family. Last week i really thought about my mom and myself. This week i am focusing on my dad. Fathers and mothers are so truly important. Without the two it is just not the same. Last week i explained how excited i am to become a mother and the responsibilities i will have. This week i focused on the importance of a husband. I am not married yet so this week i took notes on what i am looking for in a husband. One of my main things i want is a husband is the potential of being a good dad. My father and i are very close. I am very picky with guys because i want someone just like my father. Maybe i will never get married. haha

This week i can honestly say that i want to be a mother and a homemaker. This week remind me what is really important, family. I love my family so much. I cant wait to get married and start a family. This week also made me call my parents and really tell them how much i appreciate them and what they do for me. It made me have a greater respect for my mother because being a mother is very hard but also the greatest blessing. Mothers i dont think get enough credit for what they do. I look forward to expanding my knowledge even being a stay home mom.

Stress is no fun.Things happen in life that we have to go through and
there is nothing we can do about it. As this weeks goes on i thought
about a trial that my family went through together that made us stronger
as a family. At the time this trial was happening it was stressful and
was really hard. Now as i look back upon this trial is made me grateful
how much closer it brought my family. It had made me appreciate to the
point which it brought us too. Trials are hard but they are blessings in
the blind. As trails come we need to face them head on and get through
them with the support of our families. Our heavenly father will not let
us face something we cannot handle especially on our own.

This week was hard being single. To think about getting married is wonderful but also scary. Thinking of things i would have to give up or to do was interesting. I have no experience of being married but something i think of that i will have adjust to is being with someone 24/7, communicating, and managing time. These things for me are so much different now than i think they will be for me when i get married. As i think of getting married on day really made me realize these things are important. Sharing your life with someone is so important but you need to learn how to compromise. As i wait for the day i do get married i will enjoy my life being single.

Are all cultures equal in terms
of being right and wrong, good and bad? Do we have the right to proclaim
one set of values to be better than another?
What a question right?! That was the question of the week. Thinking about this question of course i wanted to be bold and say that my culture is the best. Of course i want to say that the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is the only true culture but as i thought about it each person is different and believes in what they want to believe in. You have to be careful and accepting of what people choose to believe in. It made me realize we cannot judge people based on their culture.

This week made me really appreciate the options we have. I was able to talk about the adoption process i went thru with my family. My mother was not able to have many kids but thankfully was able to adopt two little girls to make our family grow. That experience is incredible. My sisters are amazing and our family would not be complete without them. My family is so great and i love them so much.

In class we were presented with this quote by G. Steinahm, "We badly need to raise our boys more like our girls." We talked about this and it really made me think what was meant by this quote. I do not agree with this quote. Even though studies show that most guys can learn from girls actions; I think that girls can easily learn from boys as well. I think there are things to be learned and taught by both sides. It was interesting to think about why someone would quote that.

Tonight we had class and it was great! I am so excited to start a knew
project this week to find a cool way to show off my family. I need to
come up with a physical metaphor to explain how the my family works
together as a system. I have two ideas so far which are a bowl of
popcorn or a quad. Those two things are my family to a T. We make home
made popcorn at least 5 nights a week and that is what i grew up doing. A
quad because that is our family sport together. I have been quading my
whole life and that is what we do as a family. I am excited to get
started.

This next week really made me relate to family systems. I really related to the family system example we did in class. We had people stand up in a circle hold hands and the teacher went around saying scenario's and putting on weight on people to have the others help hold them up. I related most to the "mom figure" in the example. The girl tried to hold herself up by herself when the teacher put weight on her. When she finally couldn't hold herself up anymore she let the rest of the "family" help her. I am like that in life. I try to hold things in and be strong and not let other people know I need help but it is better to ask for help.
This blog is for my thoughts and things that I relate to as i go through my family relations class. This first week that really stood out to me was family trends. The biggest one that made me think about was smaller families. It made me think what are really the reasons behind having smaller families. I can relate personally that we had a smaller family due to the fact that my mother could not have more than two kids. That did not stop my parents. Later on my parents adopted two more girls to make our family bigger. I did some digging around and found that people have less kids for reasons like money, time, and effort. It was sad to see those things but I guess that's what it has come to these days.
