Well hey there!
It's been a while since I have updated. I believe it says August was the last time I updated. So here it goes.
A lot has happened...
I love my job. I am excited to see my clients, get to know new ones and help them to feel better then they felt before. Almost all of my friends who went on missions are back. Man have I missed them. I am also excited to get to know them again.
It's been over a year since I have been divorced. And it feel magnificent. I am attending an institute class on Tuesday and Thursday. It is a dating and courtship class. It is pretty amazing. We talk about working towards being Christ like in our dating. Which really translates to being Christ like in our lives. I am so grateful to have this class and my classmates that help me to learn very much about myself and becoming Christ like.
I lost my temple recommend a few weeks ago and I can not find it. I am going crazy. I am working on getting an interview with the Stake President. I am very excited for it! To be able to visit the Lord's House once again and do the work that he has need of me to preform. I really can't wait!
I have been going on dates here and there. Nothing too serious. I hope to continue to date many people. Until I stumble upon the person I need/want. But both are not necessary. But if I must choose I would choose the need. For what I need, is much greater then what I want.
I have been slacking on my responsibilities to myself, I need to work on my scriptures study, personal prayer, as well as my exercise regiment. Every morning: a prayer followed by scripture study, then my run. I want to work towards doing a triathalon. I think it'd be good for me. To run, bike and swim. I need to work on my swimming especially! I am not a powerful swimmer. But I will work on it and I will do this triathalon.
I am working towards my BS in Exercise Science as of January 2012. I am starting slowly since working and going to school might be a little intense. But I am very excited. I am going to continue to take institute. I feel like it uplifts my soul in the middle of the week. To be coupled with Church on Sunday! Wow. It is such a great feeling.
Well, I am off to bed so that I can get up for work tomorrow and not feel like death has claimed me as it's own. (Just getting over my first cold of the season)
Have a wonderful night, sleep sweet!
Heather :D

August 18th, 2011
So it has been a while sice I have written in here. About 2 months. So here is what has happened in my life. I have been attending the temple every Tuesday. I might start doing every other Tuesday and on the week I don't go on Tuesday go on Satruday. I am always up for people to go with me.
I have started a new job at Alpine Spinal Rehababilitation Center in Provo, with Dr. Jerry Clark. So far I am loving it and they treat me really well. I am in the process of quiting at the Spa so that I can focus on my work at Alpine.
I went on a date with this guy and I really like him a lot. He is probably one of the nicest guys I have ever met. His name is Hesston Parkin. We went shooting and then went to Aubrey's house and played Phase 10 (which he said he was no good at but beat all of our butts) and had dinner. It was so much fun. We all lost track of time. Hesston is a super sweet guy, he got off his mission in June. He served in Houston Texas. So he has that awesome accent that I have always liked.
So many of my friends have come home from their missions. It's crazy. I am so glad to see all of them and the spirit that they bring into my life is amazing. I was asked to speak at church in two weeks. I will let you know the topic and how it goes. I also got called to being a teacher in the Relief Soceity on the 4th Sunday of the month. (Ah! I don't know if I have time for all that in two weeks!)
I have started training for a 1/2 triathelon with my sister for the fall of 2012. I am so excited. I know that it will help me get into a shape that I have never been in before in my life. I have also been getting up at 7 am to complete my runs. I am so excited. I think I may be additced to running. So here is to change!
I have also started learning Vietnamese. I have a goal of learning 33 languages, 5 fluently. The fluent languages I want to know are Vietnamese, Spanish, German, Arabic and Manderine Chinese. I know it will be hard to learn a few of them, but if I dedicate myself then things will happen I am sure of it!
I see great things happening in my life. I can't slow down and stop because what fun would that be? It's like that song by Trace Adkins "Up with the sun, off on the run, making mone money cuz I wanna have fun. 5 o'clock whistle off like a missle..." That pretty much disctribes how I have been living my life of late. I am happy, I am finding myself and I am enjoying it!
A thought that I had about being divorced. I am no longer caged. I am a free bird. I am wild, and I will not be tamed. One of my friends had this awesome quote on her Facebook wall the other day and I am taking it because I totally agree with it and believe that it fits me very well. "Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free till they find someone as wild as them." -Mafe Mejia Villena Some day I hope to find this because I am that way. I am a free and wild bird. So I need someone who is just as free and wild to keep up with me!
Well, that brings you up to date on pretty much everything.

June 5-10 2011
So today, I look back at this week so far.
This week has been a milestone in my life. Tuesday June 7th, 2011 I received my Temple Endowments in the Provo Utah Church of Jesus Christ and Later Day Saints Temple. It was one of the most amazing days of my life. It was almost one of the greatest because my family was there for me. I can't wait for my parents to be able to go through and do their temple work as well.
I have decided some things that once I follow through on I will discus on here. Until then...you'll have to be in suspense.
Thursday I went to 7 Peaks Water Park in Provo, Utah with Kendall, Preston, and Lindsey Little. It was a blast. I hope to do it again soon. I bought a pass for parking and a tube for the season. I am so excited.
Um...I guess my parents left of North Dakota this week also. They took Jesse Hardy with them so that he could work for them. I am very excited for them all.

June!
Hey! So far this June...I am preparing to receive my endowments in the temple. My family is having a baby blessing of little Sloan Presley Draper down in Las Vegas. Super sad that I can't go and see it unfold. But what is one to do when you must work? You must work!
But anyway. I have been working on memorizing the articles of faith. I know I need to start doing better with it because I do want to remember them for as long as possible.
Today I ate some of the yummiest desert pizza. Tonight I am going to see the new x-men movie with Kendall Little. I am super excited!
I asked Nate Briggs to go with me to the temple on Tuesday to get my endowments out. I truly hope he says yes. I think it would make me completely happy.

End of May, Hello JUNE!
Today marks the end of May and the beginning of June. Memorial Day was a blast hanging out with Kendall Little and Ruthie Merrill. Totally recommend it to all of you! Last night was great fun. I also felt it was a nice way to send May off, and to welcome June and the summer. I appreciate all who came. Kendall Little, Aubrey Sorensen, Seth Haskell Condie, CJ Shepard, Kenna McKay, Jesse Hardy, Cheryl Taylor and Rodger Taylor, with short visits by Tiffany Taylor and Gerald Taylor. A great big thank you! And I love you all very much!
As a sum up of what happened last night, we held a BBQ in our front yard. With camp chairs and everything. It was great fun. Hot dogs, Hamburgers, Chips, Drinks the whole 10 yards! We went in as the sun was about to set and played amazing games of Tetris. (By the way, Seth, Kendall, we will beat you!) There was some talk of setting up Volleyball, but alas it never happened. Perhaps next week!
On the note of next Tuesday, I will be receiving my endowments. I am very, very, excited! Two of my aunts and my sister will be there with me. I am very blessed to have family to be able to go with me. I am also very excited for a visit from my two nieces! Sloan and Ammelia! I am super stoked. This week is going to be full of adventure and fun! With a prospect of going to 7Peaks with Kendall Little next Thursday. What a week it shall be!
Other things that have happened this last few days....hmmm...Well I have been working a great deal. Life seems to be throwing a great deal of crap to the wind for my family. But such is life. Many things seem to happen all at once. The phrase, when it rains it pours comes to my mind, and how very true it is. I have run into many movies that I have a great desire to see. Like Kung Fu Panda 2, Cars 2, and all sorts of movies. I would be able to tell you more if I was looking for them, but I am not.
I have had a great deal of fun in my life and hope to experience much more of it.

May 27-28 2011
So the last two days I have been working and playing. Yesterday I got my hair done by my lovely friend Aubery Sorensen. I love it. I am excited to get some pictures and upload for you all to see. I know you will be jealous. I didn't get home until around 4 am. So I am a bit tired. Please excuse any spelling/grammar errors their may be. I will try to keep them to a minimum.
I am totally loving my jobs. They are amazing and keep me busy. Something that many of you don't know is that I am preparing for a mission at this point in my life. My two jobs allow me to pay off my student loans and save up for my mission. I know my parents have said they would help, but I want to do as much on my own as I can.
I am very independent, but I also hate to be alone (more then anything, excluding being lied to). That would happen to be my biggest pet peeve. So pretty please don't lie to me! It hurts me to know that I am getting lied to.
I also came to a very sad realization that I read people's bodies better then their words. Isn't that supposed to be the opposite?
I am however very excited to get a massage today from the massage school that I went to. Hopefully I will get an amazing therapist!
I have a meeting with the Stake President for my Endowment recommend tomorrow at 11:30 AM so I will be missing sacrament with my ward. I hope they can forgive me. I am also planning Ward Prayer. I am very excited for that. I have some fun ideas that I hope they all appreciate.

Heather C Taylor!

The Begining!
So this is one of the many blogs that I have a hand in. I have one for my massage therapy. Which I have not done anything with because I have changed email addresses, I also am doing one for the spa that I work for, and one with my friends for spiritual up lifting. Some basic information on me: I am a massage therapist. I love what I do. I am L.D.S. I am preparing for a full time L.D.S. mission. I love my singles ward that I attend, the spirit is so very strong. I am always doing something. I don't like to be couped up inside. I need to see the sunlight, or the winter wonderland around me. I just have to be doing something, I hate to get bored. I play tetris, and I will beat a set of people (you know who you are) eventually. I play sports, I am going to be doing tons of things this summer and I will not be tamed. I am who I am and please don't try to change me. I love food, I am a good cook (when I choose to, that is). I am from Utah County. I love my home very much. I am very proud to be an American and I support our troops in all that they do.
Reasons why I love massage therapy: I get to see people come in and you can literally see the pain that they are in. I watch them get out of their massage and they are no longer in pain, they are totally fine. They are smiling and they always thank me saying, you don't know how long it's been since I have felt this good. I have no pain. Talk about a warm fuzzy inside. It makes me feel like, what I am doing with my life is worth something. I guess it helps me feel full. (te he, food reference!) I also get to learn about each and every life that I touch. I get to show them that I care about them. I get to show them that touch can be a good thing, and that not every massage therapist involves a happy ending. I work two jobs as a massage therapist, at a Chiropractor's office and in a Spa in the Riverwoods in Provo, UT.
I love my friends and my family. I don't know where I would be without them. Life is a very crazy thing, but when you suck it up and deal with it, with some help from your friends and family, and in my case, my God life seems to become much easier. Yes, it's still crazy. Yes, it still sucks some times. But with help you can get through anything. In each generation of my family at least one person has served in the armed forces, making me love and appreciate those who are currently serving as my own kin. I will stand up for any of my friends and family, even if they are wrong. I am very loyal. I have your back.
I was reading my scriptures last night and ran across one of my verses that I have heard. It's in Moroni 10:20-22. Please take some time to read it because it is very true and extremely touching. I know not everyone needs the same thing in life, but that is what I needed to hear.
I am off for the day. But hopefully I'll remember one for tomorrow.
