I remember knowing it all in high school. I knew so much, I graduated, got pregnant and got married in the same year. I laugh now, but back then it wasn't too funny.
My marriage was odd. I don't know how else to describe it, and since I have a good relationship with my ex-husband I'm going to leave it at that. I had two kids in this marriage and my ex-husband ended up leaving to be with someone else.
We tried everything to make it work, but I think we were so much alike that there was no advancement in our relationship.
When we got married, we were young and had no idea that what we really wanted was to be taken care of. We didn't know how to take care of ourselves, how were we supposed to take care of each other? In the last general conference Henry B Eyring said, "The ideal God holds for us is to form families in the way most likely to lead to happiness and away from sorrow. A man and a woman are to make sacred covenants that they will put the welfare and happiness of the other at the center of their lives." I believe there wasn't enough maturity in this marriage so it ended the way that it did.
Of course at the end of any relationship, there is tension. Luckily after some hard work and communication we're at a point where we can focus on what's best for the kids.

My past
"There are great lessons to be learned from the past, and you ought to learn them so that you don’t exhaust your spiritual strength repeating past mistakes and bad choices." ~ M Russell Ballard
I got married out of high school. I had two kids to that marriage and was divorced by 21. I met my current husband a little after my divorce and have been with him since.
Of course there is more to the story so I'll be spilling my guts out here.
I know we've all heard the saying, "I wish I knew then, what I know now," but the truth is, I wouldn't change my experiences if I could. What I've gone through has made me into who I've become. Of course I didn't do it all alone. I could make a whole list but I know that if I've met you or have had any contact, whether it be a smile, a "hello", or even just leaving a comment on myspace, you've made an impact in my life. Even if no one ever reads my blogs, I want to put my story somewhere and until my kids learn not to rip mommy's journal, my life will be here.

What to do...what to do....
I've been racking my brain on what I wanted to blog about. Everyone has their own thing like couponing, professional photography, etc. so I wanted to do a blog that I am passionate about. I love to coupon, but I do it because I have to. I love to photograph, but I haven't started on a career yet.
I'm helping one of my best friends plan her wedding. It's super fun and there isn't anyone I would rather do it for, but I've noticed some things in their beginning that I know I wish I knew in mine. So what I've decided to devote MOST of my blog to is relationships. I've been giving advice for more than 10 years and I love being able to help where I can. Of course, I'm not a doctor or a therapist, but I do know enough about people to know I know what I'm talking about. I doubt anyone would read this anyway, and IF you do, I hope this helps. I'm open to suggestions and I take criticism as needed so opinions are welcomed.

Killin some time
It's been a while since i've posted, but since nobody ever reads this anyway, i guess it doesn't really matter.
Things are getting crazy at the Iosua-Hall house and i don't know what to do. I'm just waiting for the day it'll all be over so I can put it on my "been there done that" list. You know the one that helps you know that even though it was rough, I survived and it'll only get better.
Can someone hit the FF button on the DVD to my life? Thank you!
