I love this quote  

it was cool evening glad i had a jacket!

i love how greem its so pretty, its heaven!

I knew everything was going to be ok, as we where getting ready to go home  early i took a hard fall on to my right hip... June 9 2014 This evening I took a hard fall on my right hip it hurt bad. But know I was ok I'm in complete peace, calmness and in no pain. I'm so grateful for the power of priesthood i didn't even know the two men who gave me a blessing i felt at peace even tho i was crying, because i was scared and  had a anxiety attack ,  i had blessing up at Heber valley camp, i have never been so at peace, had  calmness and i wasn't in extreme pain, I had taken a lortab that i had in my purse im so happy i heard the little voice to put a pain pill in my purse :) i cant even explain I'm am so blessed to have so amazing people around me! I have seen heavenly fathers hand so close to me today love you all! Never be afraid to pray

As i search the Holy Scriptures ..

As many of you know i have some learning disablitys with some reading but mostly math,but the heavenly father has blessed me with helping me understanding important scriptures that mean allot to me, With some of the health problems i have had this past year, I know that heavenly father loves each and every one of his children and cares for them,When we came to this Earth heavenly father wanted us to experience trials and learn from those trial, what have you leaved from this trails and how has it made you stronger, Do i feel closer to him? yes i do because cant you to it alone we have to rely on our faith in the lord  and lean not to our own understanding. Faith is like a seed if you have faith that seed will grow if you don't have faith that seed wont grow, i know if you have faith in the lords timing things will work out and fall into place

I went to the temple on Thursday with my mom i have been sick this week, i felt horrible but but i had a prompting to go the temple the spirit was telling Natasha you need to go to the temple, i am so grateful i didn't ignore that' little voice' because when i had entered then temple i wasn't in any pain i felt at peace and relaxed and i walking well,I know doing temple work will help and bless your life because your helping out people do there work because the couldn't do there work on there own.i know that  you can pray any time and place pr anywhere or even in your heart ant heavenly father hears and answers prayers He loves you! God gives freely if you ask  And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learnwisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in theservice of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.

Finally my surgery story

Hey everyone 

 So here is run down of why I had my surgery in the first place,mahout 2 years ago I tour my meniscus in my right knee while hiking with family after surgery we realized something was just not right, after many X-rays and MRI and my knee, one of the x rays showed that I had bad hip dysplasia in my right hip, I have always walked and ran a little weird them most people my age, My mom actually was the frist one to recognize that I had bad hip dysplasia. Earler this year in Jaurary  I went to Anaheim California  (DIsneyLand) with my family, one of the days in the parks my right hip dislocated it hurt so bad took my breath away and I was in tears could barly walk with my mom dragging me.We got back into our hotel ans my mom gave me some pain pills, inside i wasnthinking it's really time to get my hip looked at its was just to much.After returning to Salt Lake City Utah, (Sandy) where i live.MY mom had very good Insurance due to her working at the University of Utah hospital as NBICU as a nurse ( new born intensive care unit) So I have been very blessed to have Amzaing Orthopedic surgeon DR. Christopher peters who is a World renowned orthopedic surgeon over the whole inter mountain west!

after getting some X-rays and scanning done we meet with the doctor he said my case was a quite a hard case due how  messed my hips where!My doctor and mom and I wanted to schedule surgery as soon as possible, I couldn't take the pain anymore with walking and my hip popping out, my surgery was surgery  surgery was set for May 22, I was freaked about this big surgery i was about but I was at peace getting this done 

The surgery i got was 2 surgery s in one, my femur was turner, was turned 25% present the wrong way so they had to cut and twist it back the right way after that he pretty my made me a new hip from peaces of my pelvis,my surgery was about 5 hours it was a long one but very PAINFUL I had an epidural to help with pain control due to the extent of my surgery was, I came out surgery crying so hard I was in, my surgery date was moved up to April because of my condition I was in and I could barley walk so my right hip/leg surgery was set for April 9 at the university of Utah Hospital! The Sunday before my surgery I had 3 of my uncles and a 2 brothers,my dad and grandpa gave me a peristhood blessing it was bueatful. Per op went well but the surgery unit was busy I was suupost to in surgery by 10:00 but that don't happen, 12:30 I was in surgery finally I broke down, got somber versed and was out! The surgery was 5 hours, I was out under last thing I was was freaking the doctor and nurses helped out. I was in the hospital for 6 days my last 3 days where hard I had lost of blood during surgery,so I got a blood transfusion I felt a lot better after that, I was glad to have so much support,My doctor was this surgery was hardest boy he was right! The recovery was the worst pain of my life, but I stayed strong threw recovery,

 I had my 2 hip on my left hip surgery on october 22 2013, so 3 weeks ago today,my doctor said it was easier surgery and not so bad as the frist surgery, I wasn't scared at all for my 2 hip surgery because I knew what to expect and recovery was, I was in tosh orthopedic hospital for 4 days I love that place then being In a huge hospital. TOSH was very personal and layed back and together 

 at tosh, I loved my nurse at tosh much better then the university of Utah!My pain was much under control and they made me very comfortable, I got home from the hospital and was feeling good, I was more aware of my pains I had it undercontroll, I have to be on churches for about 6 weeks like my last surgery, I'm blessed to be under the amazing cafe of my family and my father in heaven
