Farewell Celeste!

Today I went to my good friend Celeste's missionary farewell!

Celeste is one of the kindest, most sincere, sweet, genuine people I have ever met! I'm so grateful that she is someone I have been able to call a friend these past couple of years! I'm going to miss her but I'm so proud of her decision to serve the Lord!

She gave such a great talk at church today! The people of Paris, France are so lucky to have her for the next 18 months!

Shopping on a budget!

So I love new clothes! What girl doesn't? I hate spending a lot on them tho. I think over 25 an item is too much! (I'm cheap I know!) I also have become more picky with what I (want to) wear! I'm so sick of the plain cheap t shirt and Jeans look I always go with! So I've been trying to expand my clothes and stay on a strict budget! I'm trying to put together new outfits. Each outfit can't cost more than 30 dollars total! Don't think I can do this, I can promise! Infact I've already started!

So I'm going to start posting my deals that I find on here! Just for fun! Really this is more for my entertainment than anyone elses!

So if you any good sales this summer let me know! :-)

Phone Blogging!

So I just downloaded the blogger app for my phone! So hopefully I can start blogging more once I figure this thing out! I'm so far behind on blogging! I want to be posting like once a day, but I'll be lucky if I get to once a week....month even! Wish me luck haha!

1st post of the new year

So I didn't really make an New Years resolutions exactly. But I've decided to make a couple! I need some goals to motivate myself! There is so much I want to accomplish this year and things I want to do better!  I took the lyrics to Lee Brice's "Love Like Crazy" as a starting point for my resolitions/goals/bucket list, whatever you want to call them!

"Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you
Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy
And love like crazy"

If we all lived by these words every day life would be so much better for everyone life would be so much nicer!

"Be a best friend."

I have some of the greatest friends anyone could ever ask for.

They all do so much for me and I don't do nearly enough to repay them!

I want to do more for them and become a better friend to those Im not as close to.

"Tell The Truth"

okay so this one isnt that hard! I always try my hardest to be honest in

everything I do on a daily basis.

"overuse I love you!"

I don't think that is something you can over use. We should all tell those we care

about that we love them on a daily basis!

"Go to work, Do your best and don't out smart your common sense"

I definitely don't always give 100 percent on a daily basis and thats something I need to work better at. 

I need to get myself on a better schedule so that I can go to bed at a decent time and get up earlier

and accomplish more during the day before I go to work.

As for the  not out smarting your common sense, well thats some advise I think everyone 

would be smart to take. 

"Never let your prayin' knees get lazy."

I definitely need to improve on my daily prayers! Thats probably what I want to work on the

most this new year!!

"Love like crazy"

So some of my other goals for this new year are:

1. Daily scripture reading

2. Be better at saving money

3. Eat better, I have the worst eating habits ever! 

4. Keep a journal

5. Be better at blogging

6. Help raise more awareness in helping find a cure for Neurofibromatosis

7. Make it to California-Ive never been

8.Read more, i used to read so much and now I rarely ever do!

I have more of a bucket list of things I want to do this year! But I will post that later!

So fuuny! You can thank me later!

If you only knew how much time me and my friends have spent watching the first one! (One time I looked at Peters teeth, and I got a sunburn!)
So glad they finally made a second one!

November

November is here! That means Thanksgiving will soon be upon us! Then Christmas, New Years/ My Birthday and then my brothers will be home from their missions! Woohoo! But first things firsts!

I Decided a while ago that during the month of November that I would blog everyday about something I am thankful for! And it looks like I'm not the only one with the idea from the looks of others blog posts today!

The world is so full of greedy people and people wanting things now . No one takes the time to appreciate what they have and to often people don't express their gratitude for anything anymore.

"Gratitude is a mark of a noble soul and a refined character. We like to be around those who are grateful. They tend to brighten all around them. They make others feel better about themselves. They tend to be more humble, more joyful, more likable." ~ Joseph B. Wirthlin


My first post of thankfulness is Fall! I LOVE fall!

I love the changing of the leaves! I love looking out my bedroom and seeing the temple up on the mountain surrounded by all the gorgeous colors! I love it when its just right for sweaters and light jackets! Hot chocolate! Hot chocolate is one of my most favorite things ever!
