Remember the positive things!

Thankful thursday (:

1. Faith- I don't know how people get through life without it. It's so ridiculously necessary.

2. Firesides- I dunno what it is about them, maybe the fact that they're not required, but they are my favorite. So inspirational.

3. Gut Feelings- Just go with them, they're almost always right...

4. Advice- I have SO many people around me that offer me good advice that's in my best interest. My parents & best friends give me the bestttt advice.

Anyway, trying to keep my head up this week & trying to still be positive. General Conference this weekend. I'm excited, hoping for some awesome & inspiring talks (:

Skipping class, but not church.

Can I just say how horrible I am at going to my music class? I've taken it before, same teacher & all, but wasn't satisfied with my grade, so I'm taking it again. I go maybe half the time. but I do all the online work! So it doesn't matter.. right? Well, whatever. 


On a better note..
I went to church yesterday & it was awesome. You know that feeling you get when you've been on a really long vacation, but then you walk into your house? That's the only way I can describe the feeling of going back to church. I don't really know anyone in the singles ward, so I sat in the foyer by myself, but I still enjoyed the testimonies. & class was about the family responsibilities in the home, which was pretty perfect for me right now..


& Then I went to a fireside with Jordyn last night & I can't even explain how good it was. It was on adversity. It was AMAZING. These young adults, who have been through MUCH more than I can imagine, got up there & explained how they fell away from the church for a while, but when something major happened in their life, they realized how the church has been the only constant. It was seriously amazing. I loved it. 


I'm still somewhat uncomfortable in the single's ward though. I feel like everyone's just trying to get married, & I'm not yet. lol.


Well, as I was reading some scriptures during the sacrament yesterday I came across this scripture that is so perfect for me right now. 
-Ecclesiastes 3:1

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven

This just reminds me that God does have a plan for me, & even when things don't seem to be going my way, I just have to remember that there is a time & a reason for everything. I'm a little out of practice, but I'm doing my best to trust in him (:

Whoops, long time no see!

Well, let me update you on the goings on in my life.

1. My best friend got married on friday. It's weird, but I'm extremely happy for her. The wedding was SO much fun. I don't remember the last time I had that much fun. The ceremony was in the morning & it was so cute. There were 8 bridesmaids & 4 groomsman, so two girls to every guy. Me & Jordyn were in group 3 with Dustin's friend Cory. Our group mixed it up a little bit with an epic step back when walking down the aisle ;) The luncheon was cool, we got tons of good pictures :) & the reception was toooo much fun. Between the awesome DJ, the fun bridesmaids & groomsmen, & the photobooth, it was LEGIT.

2. Quinc was here all weekend too which was a lot of fun! we went shopping & I spent WAY too much money at Forever 21. We went to the Dixie game in STG for about a quarter, then drove home. I was fun, but also kinda pointless. Kayla came back with us & hung out for the night though. La & Q left super early on sunday to go back to UT. Lame!

3. For those that know me well, know that I have been inactive for a few years, but as of Sunday I have decided to go back to church. YAAYY. nothing specific made me decide, just the fact that I've missed it terribly, & I was in my room cleaning & noticed that my scriptures were getting dusty. Noootttt cool. Reminded me of this quote, "Show me a man whose Bible is falling apart and you will find a man whose life is not." So back to church I go. :)


4. The previous decision triggered a chain reaction of events, not all with happy outcomes. One of the big ones being that I think I am going to move to SLC before the start of the spring semester. I want to interpret. Bad. I also want to move. I hate Vegas. I have hated it since I was little, so in light of recent events, I hope to attend SLCC and get an apartment with Quinc, Amy, & Emilie. We hung out all weekend and got along so well. It was awesome. Amy is looking to move back west, and Q is looking to move out. Sooo.. SLC it is! Hopefully halloween weekend we will go up, hang out with Glo & Q, go to a halloween party, & scope out apts :)


Despite the somewhat crappy week, I still have a TON to be thankful for.


1. My step-sister, Tamara, had a little girl on sunday night. Welcome to the family, Lily :)

2. I seriously don't know what I would have done this week without Gloria, Emilie, Jake, Lissy & Quincey. They're awesome.

3.I love cardigans. & i bought a ton this weekend. oops ;)

4. I'm BEYOND thankful for filthy rich people. I nannied last last weekend for some of those kind of people. you know, the ones that money means NOTHING to them. They tipped me $200 the first night for 4 hours, & $500 the second night for 9 hours, plus paid for me to tale the kids to the tournament of the kings. The kids were hellions, but I dealt. That tip definitely helped me out a ton ;)

5. The constant that the church has been. It stays the same, despite of everything else that's always changing in my life. I really am blessed, even in the weeks that it's tough to remember that. <3

See you tomorrow for some confessions ;)

& it's that time again!

I'm so thankful for my mom. She is seriously the BEST. We hang out all the time. She knows everything. She answers every question I ever have. If she doesn't know the answer, she finds it out. I get really mad when people tell me that my mom is wrong, cause she never is! She is amazzziinnnggg :)

I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to continue my education :) I'm excited for my photography class. It's gonna be awesomeee. :D

I'm thankful for returns. I have had to return SO many things lately. I'm just glad that I can do that.

I'm thankful for clean laundry. I hate doing it, but it feels so good when it's all done & clean.

I'm thankful for sales. Victoria's secret! Wuddup new underwear! Easily one of my favorite things.

I'm thankful for Facetime. Austin just got an iphone & it's so fun to facetime! :)

I'm grateful for home-cooked meals. They're delicious :)

I have homework, so that's all for today (: goodnightt!
