A Few Of My Favorite Things

1.) LOVE: Just because you paint a picture doesn't mean it's going to fit the frame!


Just because it doesn't fit the frame doesn't mean you can't find a way to make it work!


2.) Fears: "So don't be afraid to make mistakes, stumble and fall because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most...maybe you'll even get what you wish for...maybe you'll get more than you could of ever imagined. Who knows where life will take you, The Journey Is The Destination"



3.) MUSIC:

4.) FUN: I'm Just a crazy kinda girl, I'll tell it to the world...I've just begun having my fun!




5.) FAMILY: We may not have it all together but, together we have it all!



6.) FRIENDS: " At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared, some are coming home, some tell lies to make it through the day, some are evil men and some are good, struggling with evil. 6 Billion souls and sometimes all you need is ONE"


8.) The Gospel: I am a daughter of God and he LOVES me



9.) FOOTBALL: My anti-drug


10.) EDWARD CULLEN: Who said perfection didn't exist...?

Secret Of My Heart

SO I know that I put up lots of posts about having faith and trusting in Heavenly Father's will, It is something that I am striving to do every day. It helps remind me of what I already know but lose sight of all to often. I don't know why things have turned out the way they have in my life. I am very blessed yet at times I feel helpless and alone. I can only describe it as if I were in the middle of the ocean. I feel as though I am struggling to find which direction to take in order to reach the surface. I am running out of breath quickly and I just need someone to grab me by the hand and pull me out. My heart is so conflicted. I don't know what I should be doing or where I should be going. I want so badly to find my eternal happiness and to begin that new and exciting chapter in my life. I am told over and over to be patient and really I am trying. I don't want to make it sound as if I am unhappy in my life right now because that is the exact opposite. I am having so much fun and making new friends each and everyday. Still I can't deni that longing I feel to have that take my breath away LOVE. That best friend who makes you laugh so hard you can't breath, who holds you when you are scared or unsure, who looks at you like your the only thing he can see, who you know will be there for you even in the toughest of times, who Loves you with all of his heart Forever and Ever. I KNOW that Heavenly Father has someone beyond my wildest dreams in store for me. Someone who I will be able to look at everyday with a glow in my eye's. I have Faith in that...I Trust in that! The hardest part is wanting it so badly not knowing how many more days I am going to have to spend without it, without him! I want my prince charming to ride away with me into the sunset! I want my HAPPILY EVER AFTER! For now I am left waiting...waiting and relying on my faith and trust until that day comes where I am dressed all in white, smiling inside out, looking into the eye's of the man I have the great oppertunity to spend ETERNITY with! This is my Happy Thought, the secret of my HEART.

YSA Conference "Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence"

This past Weekend was YSA(Young Single Adult) Conference. It was such a blast! I met so many fun new people that I am excited to continue getting to know! Both Saturday and Sunday we had an AMAZING speaker named Brother Bartholomew. He was AWESOME x 10! He spoke using Jeffrey R. Hollands BYU Devotional called "Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence". It was everything that I needed to hear and more. He told us that we are in the most important time of our lives(choosing an eternal companion) and that Satan would be working on us twice as hard when we did find that certain someone we were compatible with. We were reminded that we cannot sign on for a moment of such eternal significance and everlasting consequence without knowing it will be a fight--a good fight and a winning fight, but a fight nevertheless. That we should not let fear get in the way and let something great pass us by. He emphasized that we must NOT draw back, that we shouldn't panic, retreat,and lose our confidence. That we should never forget how we once felt and never to distrust the experience we had. Jeffrey R. Holland said this,“With any major decision there are cautions and considerations to make, but once there has been illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Cast not away therefor your confidence. Don’t give up when the pressure mounts. Certainly don’t give in to that being who is bent on the destruction of your happiness. Face your doubts. Master your fears. Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you.”

Opposition turns up almost any place something good has happened, It Is evidence that we are on the RIGHT path!

I think the most IMPORTANT thing that I got out of this talk was to rely and have faith in my Father In Heaven. To listen to his counsel and to apply it personally in my life. Not to let my fears hold me back from blessings Heavenly Father is patiently waiting to give me. Like Jeffrey R. Holland said, Our faith will be tested as we fight through these self-doubts and second thoughts, but we need to dismiss our fears and wade in with both feet. I think that this applies to a lot more than just marriage! I think we all have things in our lives that pertain to fear and the courage it takes to overcome it! I don't want to let anything GREAT pass me by. I know that through Heavenly Father all things are possible! When ever we are facing the adversary or opposition and we feel like giving in , remember that the the lord is ALWAYS there for us! That there is light and hope and a bright future ahead! All we have to do is TRUST in the God of Glory and remember our ultimate goal....Eternal Happiness!

Silly Games & Silly Crushes

Ever since I was a little girl I have LOVED playing the game "he loves me he loves me not" when I have had a crush on someone. For some CRAZY unknown reason It has always worked! DAISIES are my favorite flowers and they always seem to bring me LUCK...without fail! I have a reason to play this game again.....WISH me luck!

He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves Me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves Me. He loves me not. He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me.

The LUCKIEST

My BEST FRIEND and I

Lately I have been thinking a lot about my relationship with my FATHER IN HEAVEN. All I can say is that I am the LUCKIEST girl! I have the world's GREATEST best friend who I know will ALWAYS be there for me. I am so grateful for the atonement....words cannot even begin to describe how THANKFUL I am for our SAVIOR and all he went through for us. I know that I am a daughter of god and that he loves me SO much! I know that FAITH and TRUST in him is the key to leading a successful and HAPPY life! Things may not always turn out the way we hope but if we trust and ALWAYS remember that our father only wants the BEST for us we will make it through any storm that comes our way. He puts obstacles and trials in our lives because of his PERFECT love! I have always loved this quote by Harold B. Lee "It is the pursuit of easy things that make men weak. The pursuit of hard things makes men strong." It's so TRUE. I feel like compared to all of my blessings.....my trials and tribulations have been so minimum and I have grown from each one! I want you all to know that I LOVE this gospel with ALL that I am. I am so EXCITED for the future and for what HEAVENLY FATHER has in store for me.....I Know that it is something GREAT!

THE 411: OK so for those of you who know me you also know that I am a HUGE planner! I always have to have dates, numbers, times, etc..... before I go or do anything! Looking on the bright side of things I am usually always prepared and organized but On the down side.....I am kinda BORING! To fix this I have been working really hard on being more of a free spirit! The last few months I have just been living day by day moment by moment memory by memory! It really has been a complete blast and there have been some really RANDOM amazing makeouts ...OOPS I mean times. Still I could not help being a tiny bit concerned when it came to my future and what direction in life I needed to go! I had been praying and weighing my options for what step I needed to take next. It came down to three options
1.) Stay in Oregon and continue building my clientele/business
2.) Move to Salt Lake and work at an upper class salon
3.) Go on a mission
They all sounded like reasonable and good plans. I spent about 3 months praying and dwelling on which one I should choose. As we all know the lord works in mysterious ways and usually has a different plan in store for us then we may have for ourselves. MY ANSWER came so clearly.... BYU IDAHO.......! WHAT THE HECK......! Seriously Idaho would of been one of the last places on earth I would of wanted to go. I already have my degree and have no real desire to go for another one but oh my goodness EVERYTHING worked out freakishly perfect. I got in 2 days after I applied.....4 of my best friends applied and got in....we got an apartment together....etc.....! So long story short I am moving to Idaho in January. I have no idea why the lord wants me to go there right now but I am not questioning him. I have complete faith and trust in the savior! I know that he loves me and only wants the best for me! I always thought a mission was in my future but obviously my planning has failed yet again! I am EXCITED and SCARED all at the same time. I am ready for this new new adventure!
