Knee Surgery

Well I had a little too much fun at my Singles Ward Halloween Party and busted my knee dancing to Thiller. I ended up having to have surgery last Tuesday. The Doc did a scope to get all the damaged gunk out from behind my knee cap out, then he did a open faulkerson...ew...he did a Patella realignment and there is a now a huge 6 in incision in my leg. I'm super bruised and swollen. I really hope it heals well. I have to wear a brace for 1 more week, and crutches for 3 more weeks. No fun!!

I got really lucky with working for American Express. They have been amazing. After only working there 5 weeks they gave me a whole week off from work to recover, and when I went back today I was in so much pain they let me go home early. They know how to take care of their employees. They've been amazing and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for employment. Apply online at americanexpress.com and go to the Customer Care Professional Care job.

Tired

I am SOOOO tired of defending myself. Seriously, I know I did nothing wrong yet I'm constantly fighting to clear my good name. People are so catty and gross. I know I'm a good person, and did what I was supposed to. I'm just so tired of it all. I want this chapter in my life closed and the next one opened.

New Photographs

Hey everyone...just wanted to remind you check up on my photography blog. I've uploaded some more images of a shoot I did with my good friend Missie.

Come Thou Fount

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace

Streams of mercy, never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet

Sung by flaming tongues above

Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it

Mount of Thy unchanging love

Here I raise my Ebenezer

Here there by Thy great help I've come

And I hope, by Thy good pleasure

Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger

Wandering from the fold of God

He, to rescue me from danger

Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor

Daily I'm constrained to be

Let that grace now, like a fetter

Bind my wandering heart to Thee

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it

Prone to leave the God I love

Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace

Streams of mercy, never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet

Sung by flaming tongues above

Praise the mount, I'm fixed upon it

Mount of Thy unchanging love

Patience

I've had a lot of time to think over the past few weeks about my life and the many random things that have happened to me over the past few months. I've come to realize that I cannot control things and it drives me bonkers!!! But I can't worry about things either. Life is gonna go the way the Lord wants it to go for me. I have to take it all in and do what I know is right and things will happen. I will someday have that family and awesome husband I long for. I just need to be patient and I will be blessed. Life is what you make it and I will make it as positive as I can and live it to the fullest.

Offical End

So I went to NYC last week. Got home on Tuesday to find I didn't have a job anymore. No reason really given.

So if anyone knows where I can get a job let me know!

My Photography Blog

Hey guys! So I've started a seperate blog for my photography so I can send it to potential employers. But you want to check it out from time to time to see my new work you can at http://lindsaymurdockphotography.blogspot.com

Trip of a lifetime

Heavenly Father has handed many awesome blessings the past little while. For 1 I was able to go on a trip with my Singles ward to Nauvoo for some church history sites. It was amazing. We started the week by a super long bus ride and making stops along the way. By the end of the week I had learned so much about myself, gained a ton of new friends, and had some awesome spiritual experiences that I will never forget. God has truely blessed me in life and I will be forever grateful. I have a whole new perspective on life and a positive outlook and a realization that anything is possible. I love you all and hope one day, if you already haven't, have the chance to go to Adam-ondi-ohmon, Far West, Liberty Jail, Carthage Jail, and Nauvoo. It's amazing and the feeling you get while you are there will be life changing!!

Eclipse

Photography

So I've been taking a photography class this semester. I'm really enjoying it. So I thought I'd post some of the images I've taken. They're nothing like my sis in law Lindseys pictures!! She's awesome! Anyway here they are!

1 Year Ago

So tonight at 11:59pm it will be the exact moment 1 year ago I was in my car accident. So I thought I'd repost my blog post from that night.


So I was in a really bad car accident tonight while driving home from work. I was driving along and I was getting ready to switch lanes when a car pulled infront of me and I'm pretty they hit me and that's why I lost control. I hit a car and made it flip, than I went swerving over 3 lanes, hit the barrier wall and was tboned by another car on the passanger side. The people in the car that flipped were fine and everyone else was to. I was injured the worst and was the only one taken to the hospital by ambulance. I'm fine though. I'm sore and I have a 2nd degree burn on my right forearm...my whole forearm, it's big! Ouch! I have cuts and bruises, but I'll be sore tomorrow! My car it a goner though.The weird thing about all this is that for the past 2 months I've been telling my Mom I was going to get in a car accident. I could just feel it in my bones that it was going to happen! I didn't know when, I just felt it. When my Mom got to the ER she goes "so your premonission came true". Crazy!It just makes me thankful to be alive! I overheard the paramedic say that it's a miracle nobody was killed. I am lucky! I think I just had a life changing experience!! Seriously! Nothing will be taken for granted anymore!!

Prayer

I'm just sitting here thinking about things in my life I have no control over. I wish I could make all the bad things go away in the lives of the people I love. For instance, addiction, I wish I had a magic wand that I could just make it go away. It breaks my heart seeing it and not being able to help. I try my best to just be there, but sometimes it's not enough. So I ask all you who read this to please pray for these people, and for me.

Superbowl

All I'm gonna say is BOOOO on the COLTS.

Peyton...I love you...but you screwed us over tonight!!

Birthday week

So I've had the greatest week. First Tuesday was my actual Birthday. I got spoiled. I got a really nice lense for my camera and some shirts. I was treated to some yummy sushi at Happy Sumo and then a movie.

Then on Thursday I had 16 awesome people all show up for my dinner at Settebello. Honestly I was really worried nobody would show. But they did and made me feel loved. Maybe I'm not a total loser.

On Sunday my whole family is coming over for an awesome Superbowl Birthday party! I'm so excited and if the Colts won that would make the whole week that much better!

This year will bring me great things I'm sure of it. I feel it in my bones that things will start to go my way...heck who knows...maybe a really nice man will come into my life!

Come to my Birthday dinner!!
