I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior.

I think that’s the greatest gift my Heavenly Father could ever give me—a knowledge, an understanding of the reality of His Son, of the sacrifice He made for me. All other things testify of Him, I’m coming to learn that. I know that it is only in and through Him that I can be made free of my sins, of my afflictions, of my imperfections, of myself. It is only through Him that I can take part in my inheritance as a daughter of my Heavenly Father. “We are in reality Kings and Queens, princes and princesses” (President Uchtdorf). He is my Hope. He is my Life. I would not BE if it were not for Him. My love for the gospel grows so much everyday. I love spending my time serving others, and teaching with the Sister Missionaries. My testimony has grown 100% since I got out here in New Jersey. Actually living in the mission field really does something to you :) Something incredible beyond all reason. I wonder sometimes If I would be a good missionary... Then I realize, Hey I have a testimony, I know the church is true, and I love sharing it with others. I almost think thats enough. I know a mission is for everyone willing to give up their life and serve the Lord. Now it is my time to figure out if I am willing to do that. Its not going to be an easy decision, especially considering how perfect life is right now for me on the East Coast. But its a decision I know I need to make.... So wish me luck. Thanks a bunch!

My Sister Scoville got transferred last week :( She has truly became one of best friends in the world, yet somehow I feel at peace. I feel as if the Lord has comforted me and let me know that her work here is finished, that she has found who she was called here to find, and that I was lucky to have her here for the time I did. It is her job now to go touch others lives the way she has touched mine and so many others here in Morristown. I know that she is doing the Lord’s work. I know He knows what we need and where we need to be. And, if we let Him, He will help us receive a fullness of joy…we just have to turn our will over the Him. I love her and hope to have her friendship Forever!!

Being a Missionary... ish :P

The Adventures of K.D.

So I figured that while being here in New Jersey I would just be the nanny. Take care of the children, play with them and then get off and not know what to do. It is not like that at all though. My days are so full of fun that I honestly never have a moment of boredom out here. I went to institute one fine evening only knowing one soul and left having actual friends. :) It was a great feeling.... Here are some of the fun adventures we have come acrossed together.

These are my 3 best friends out here so far. We do a lot together. There is (left to right) Bailey Baxter, Brittany Checketts, Myself, and Olivia Neighbor. They are great!! I love them all very much. Bailey and I both got here the same week so we are new together. Brittany has saved my life while being out here I owe her big time. And Olivia is like the most fantastic person I have ever known. She has one of those personalities where you wonder why she hasnt just been translated she is so amazing.

We made cardboard cars at a YSA party. It was so much fun!! We made ours a big waggin so the 4 of us could be in it together. :) The party was a drive in movie.

 
 All 4 of us are nannies out here and we are all from Utah. So we made it a Utah Nanny waggin!

Then the weekend came...

And we had a slumber party then arose early the next morning and went and watched the sunrise at the Sandy Hook in New Jersey shore area. :)

 We had a great time.... I am not the best at the jumping photos though, but I tried :)

                                                        So BEAUTIFUL!!!

 The oldest standing working lighthouse in the United States.

Close up of us three :) Not sure what we were doing. Haha

                                                 Gorgeous view of the city

Another Light house... It is actually a twin light house but i didnt get a good picture of it. :(

 This tree was so funny looking to me. Its like growing over the fence. I say it like a fat roll rolling over you belt. I am pushing mine out as well over the fence you see :)

The Dream in Reality....

   So becoming a Nanny really has been a dream of mine for quite some time now. The preferred state probably wouldn't have been New Jersey, but here I am. I left my home and family March 10th at 11:30 p.m.  and climbed onto a big plane for the first ever. Then I flew 2,259 miles away to be a nanny. When the plane landed 4 hours later my mind started to go crazy. I was so terrified... In a few moments I was going to meet the family I would be living with for the next year and a half. My life was about to change in a matter of minutes. I jumped off the plane and dashed to luggage claim, grabbed my bags and headed out the airport doors to the streets of New York City. I called Brandon the Dad and he met me with the car outside. We put my bags in and drove onward to New Jersey.   The drive was fun… Brandon told me about the kids and about all their different personalities. But I was still pretty nervous to meet them. When we walked through the doors and I saw little Brooklyn I knew everything was gonna be just great. She won my heart in a second. She is so darn cute. Then I saw the Beautiful baby Brogan he is so tiny and has the cutest little smile. As I was already in Heaven meeting these two I heard a squeaky little voice from upstairs. Down came this mischievous little two year old Braden, he is so much smaller then I had imagined him to be. I love it! Though I don’t hear the squeaky voice much anymore… he pretty much talks like a dragon ALL the time. It is wonderful! So wish me luck as this new Journey begins for real’s.

This was a cute goodbye card  I got from a friend.

                                        Me and Brooklyn in Time Square

Braden is so funny... He loves the movie Monsters inc. But he is scared of it. So he watches it like this. When the scary parts come on he covers his face and says "KD I'm scared I'm scared." Its adorable. I am sypathetic behind the laughs. :)

 

  Some adorable pictures of Brogan. :) He is so precious, and little.

Manti Market....

I quit Manti Market last week! Its crazy... I have worked there so long now. Here are some randon photo's of the Market...

                                              The receipts I stare at everyday....

                      And I will miss having the cashier name be Me.... Haha  

The view...

          I love this so much!!! When you're closing out.. Ya put this up!! Its a cute picture :)

 No more temptations by the chocolate right next to the check stand...

Me and the bos's son playing at work one last time. Keegan and I together have a pretty awesome imagination. We turned doing freight into riding a roller coaster. Great Fun!! 

My Dream Come True!!

So the life long dream of being a nanny is about to come true in the middle of March. I still cant believe it and the excitement is overwhelming!

 This Beautiful little girl is Brooklyn. She is 5 and a half and I cant wait to meet her. I know I am going to love her to death!!

And this young man is Braden, he is 3 I believe, and from the looks of it there isn't going to be a dull moment in my life. :)

And here is the little baby boy Brogun!! (not sure on the spelling) I bet you are jealous.... Even I cant believe this is about to happen to me. I am very lucky. Somebody is looking out for me I think :)

How it all Began...

So I decided to start a BLOG!!! :) I want to keep people updated with my life but I am not sure who really cares. Haha... So if you want to know about me you can look on here. =) I will give you a little heads up before you read more..... I ain't the best speller. ;)

My name is Katelynn Dawn Squire!!! I go by my initials, which makes the name I am known by K.D. Squire!! I am 20 years old . . . but if you know me well you also know I have the mind of a seven year old. I can be serious at times though, I promise. I currently work at Manti Market and have for the past few years. So if you think you know me thats probably why. Haha.... I often have people gock at me and then I can just see it coming... "How do I know you? You look so familiar?" Yep Manti Market..... You see me you recognize me and now you are finally going to know me. :)

My favorite color is Green.... Journey is my favorite band.... I love Moose and want to see one for reals some day!!! I love children (not in a creepy way) They are innocent and can make my whole day. I will be a teacher someday. Hopefully a 4th grade teacher!!! One of my biggest dreams has always been to move out of Utah and become a nanny. That dream is also going to come true someday!!! And someday soon that is!!
