*PBnJ*: November 2014
http://visserbarnes.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 14, 2014. I know that for this year, most of my posts begin with "This past week has been pretty hectic" and it is true. So please believe me when I say, again, that these past few weeks have been frantic. I know that is no excuse but it is the truth. Bottom line-it's been a while. And I'm sorry. Even though the past couple of weeks have been busy as usual, a lot of big changes happened in our lives. It was fun talking to Tyler and Christie and seeing those sweet munchkins. Yes, I embroi...

Confections and Confessions: June 2011
http://mandajanee.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 16, 2011. 8220;College is a refuge from hasty judgment". I've been home for two years. I've left home maybe. Three times in those two years. This fall I am moving out again and it feels SO great to be sorting through things, busting out the dusty college boxes. Or, in it's place. I'm getting ready to leave home again and move into an apartment with a roommate. I haven't had a roommate since 2007 and I'm not sure yet if I'm ready for one. I like having my own space, you know?

Confections and Confessions: "We have heard enough truth and direction in this conference to bring us into the presence of God if we would follow it."
http://mandajanee.blogspot.com/2012/03/we-have-heard-enough-truth-and.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. We have heard enough truth and direction in this conference to bring us into the presence of God if we would follow it.". I'm just about to head out the door for work. I'm bummed, not because I don't get to sleep all day on Saturday, but because I'm going to miss the last half hour of the first session of Conference and also the whole second session. General Conference is a huge blessing. It's our King Benjamin Moment. The Lord is speaking to us directly. Anchor and bird blog.

Confections and Confessions: “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”
http://mandajanee.blogspot.com/2012/03/luck-is-what-happens-when-preparation.html
Thursday, March 29, 2012. 8220;Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”. There has been a series of fortunate events in my life these past few weeks. First of all, I got the job. I've been working at Subway for about three weeks now and I perpetually smell like sandwich. It's a small price to pay, considering I rock that job. It's fantastic, it fills my free time, and it brings in some pay. As a poor college student, having any source of income is much appreciated. Anchor and bird blog.

Confections and Confessions: "I won't always love what I'll never have"
http://mandajanee.blogspot.com/2012/05/i-wont-always-love-what-ill-never-have.html
Tuesday, May 1, 2012. I won't always love what I'll never have". Today I am twenty-three. It feels weird to say that I'm twenty-three, since it sounds so adult. However, I don't feel like I'm that old. I still feel like an eighteen year old kid. At the same time, I can look back on what I've accomplished in the past year and I think I've gone leaps and bounds. Twenty-two was a surprisingly good year. I think twenty-three will give it a run for it's money. Here's to another year of adulthood! Life with H D.

*PBnJ*: Museums, Friends, Fireworks, and Food!
http://visserbarnes.blogspot.com/2015/07/museums-friends-fireworks-and-food.html
Sunday, July 5, 2015. Museums, Friends, Fireworks, and Food! First, our new friends, Lindsey and Darren Saunders, had some extra tickets to the Putnam Museum of History and Natural Sciences and invited us to join them. Seeing as I had nothing planned just yet, we decided to take accept their offer. Lindsey and Darren have a sweet little girl that they brought along and required a bit of attention, so while they were entertaining her, we entertained ourselves. Peter preaching on a random podium. It was so...

Confections and Confessions: October 2011
http://mandajanee.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 30, 2011. A PSALM OF LIFE. WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG MAN. SAID TO THE PSALMIST. Me not, in mournful numbers,. Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers,. And things are not what they seem. And the grave is not its goal ;. Dust thou art, to dust returnest,. Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,. Is our destined end or way ;. But to act, that each to-morrow. Find us farther than to-day. Art is long, and Time is fleeting,. In the bivouac of Life,.

Confections and Confessions: November 2011

Thursday, November 17, 2011. Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values". For one of my English classes we read Hyrum W. Smith's Your Governing Values are the Foundation of Personal Fulfillment. It was a really interesting piece and, as good literature is designed to, it made me reflect on my own personal governing values. Turns out the following assignment was to write our your top twenty governing values and define them. Perfect. 2 I love my family.
