Besides Sunday, Tuesday is my favorite day. I have the wonderful opportunity to go every Tuesday morning to the temple and perform baptisms for the dead. It honestly is thee greatest way to start off my day and it completes my week :) This morning was quite a beautiful one. After i walked out of the temple, i walked a little ways then just stood there, closed my eyes, and took in a deep refreshing breathe. I was just soakin up the beauty of the temple grounds and of the earth. One of my favorite things about the mornings is birds churping/singing. It ALWAYS brings to mind the song from primary called My Heavenly Father Loves Me...probably more known by it's first line..."Whenever I hear the song of a bird, or look at the blue, blue sky...." and so on. That is probably one of my favorite songs. It reminds me to take a step back away from my own life and look at this amazing and beautiful world God has created that most of us just look past. I love the grass and the trees and birds, flowers, the gorgeous blue sky, the wind and fresh air. It makes me soo happy :) alright I'll quit with that but just know i love this earth. Another plus from being at the temple was that i saw the Easter Pageant stage almost complete constructed up. It made me soo excited. I can't express how extactic i am to be in the Easter Pageant this year and to be able to have this experience with friends as well. First practice starts this upcoming Saturday!! I am stoked. It truely is an honor. So aside from all that my weekly visit to the temple was a pleasure as always. What a priviledge it is to be able to have temples and to be able to go inside and perform baptisms of the dead. I think alot of us look at it as something that we would love to do rather than what an honor and priviledge it is. This past Sunday i was actually thinking of so many things we don't view as priviledges. Like bearing our testimonies. From the time i was in primary up until like this past November, i had never bore my testimony. I have a fear of talking in front of people. For some reason though, the past three fast and testimony meetings something other than my own two legs (and the added pounding of my heart that i can in no way ignore) has gotten me up on the stand to bear my testimony which is something i never in my life thought i would be able to do. It's just a scary thing to get up in front of a bunch of people, especially a singles ward, and speak. It's not even so much of the fact of expressing how much i love the gospel and testify of its truth because i could do that everyday all day long, but it's just that my words get messed up and i never say things right and i dunno....i never feel like i get my point across either and i also never get to say everything i want to say. This past Sunday though, I realized that it is such a wonderful thing that we are able to have about 40 minutes once a month to be able to hear and sometimes bear our testimonies and to express our love of the Gospel. I have been able to get alittle more comfortable since I've gone up three times now haha and I'm so grateful for that and that my nerves have been calmed alittle bit. Anyway, i always end up talking too much about one little thing. Other things i realized that are priviledges are having the scriptures. I think we take them for granted at time. Take a second to think where we would all be without them. We learn so much from them or at least i know i do. I cherish my scripture study time :) I love getting lost in the scriptures and learning something new and finding a way to apply it to my life or to just come to the realization of something so simple that i never thought of before. I challenge all of us to really look at the scriptures especially the Book of Mormon as such a priviledge to have. Other things are prayer. I am so grateful for the power of prayer. The fact that there has been made a way possible to speak to our Heavenly Father from here on earth is a blessing that i will never be able to express my gratitude for in writing or in anyway for that matter. And it's so simple, we just get on our knees and we can speak to him anytime and anywhere. Prayer is incredible to me. A personal thing i look at as a priviledge that most would look at as a sacrifice is serving a mission. My reasoning for lookin at it as a priviledge is probably because i have the strongest desire in my heart to serve the people of the world and to preach the Gospel and to give them knowledge and inform them of the blessings the atonement can bring to pass in their own lives.
Whether it's the Lords will to have my serve a mission or not. I will be a missionary wherever i am and whomever i come in contact with. I just want to take part in helping bring our brothers and sisters home. So this post is incredibly long and if you have read it, bless your heart cause you probably wanted to stop reading after the first novel. haha. When i get talkin about stuff i am passionate about, i don't realize how in depth or involved i get in it or the longevity of it. I absolutely love my life and i have thee greatest friends in the world and i know i probably say that in alot of my post but i can't help but feel obligated to express my gratitude for the things i have in my life. ( hmm....so random but The Office is on in the background and as i was typing "express my gratitude" Michael Scott was saying it at thee exact same time. haha. sorry about that) I can't think of anything else at the moment to add so ill conclude with a challenge for everyone to see the wonderful things we have as priviledges and see what we can do to help them to better our lives :)

Sitting home on a saturday night.................Life is Beautiful
Hmmm....where to begin....
so it's saturday night and i've spent majority of my time on the computer. I went to Hobby Lobby earlier, which by the way is pretty much my favorite place ever! Anyway, i bought my self a drawing set and some sketch paper cause i have recently gained back my desire to draw. I walked around the store about an hour and a half and found waayy too many things that i want to buy. That store is amazing. I felt guilty for spending money on myself so at Wal-Mart while buying some fudgecycles for Linger Longer tomorrow, I bought a mini Ben & Jerry's for my dear friend Kelly, whom i love with all my heart. I stopped by her house to drop it off to make her night a little better because she's been working hard on homework and i wanted her to at least have a sweet treat while doing it. Anyway, we chatted for a little bit, which made my night because even the shortest conversations with Kelly are THE BEST conversations :) She's such an amazing person. I'm so grateful to have her.
(Sorry for the pointlessness of this story so far)
I came home very excited to experiment with my new drawing supplies i got and got on the computer to find stuff to practice drawing. I got a little bored and was unsatified with how horrible i am at drawing haha. So i went on Kim's blog who by the way is my inspiration to get back into drawing. She is amazing so i went to look at her stuff haha cause I'm jealous of how good she is and admire her talent. I eventually moved on to just looking at other peoples blogs. You know what i realize and thought about....
There are so many amazing people in this world. You may not know it unless you get to really know them....or read their blogs haha. I have been so blessed to have the greatest/most amazing friends ever and to still be surrounded by amazing people as well. Lately I've been giving myself a hard time and stressing out because i havent been doing my scripture study & extra church studies for a total of two hours like i would like to or writing missionaries right away. It's been because this last week i have been convinced to stay out later than i would like which means im too tired to do it when i get home. Then because i stay out late i sleep in and by the time i get up i need to go do stuff. I mean i never fail to read my scriptures once a day but i still don't feel like i have my priorities exactly right. I just never feel like I can ever do enough to show my Heavenly Father the gratitude i have for my life and how wonderful it is. As i did my studies this morning and wrote 4 missionaries i layed back and wanted to cry cause i've been soo stressed. I haven't cried in while and i had no idea where the tears were coming from. I was seriously saying out loud "what is my problem?" "Why the heck am I crying...i need to stop" I layed there and pondered and realized that i need to give my self a break. It's great for us to live our lives as the Lord would want us to but I realized that our Heavenly Father doesn't want us to stress so much about it that it brings us to tears that we aren't doing enough. He is mindful of us and knows our hearts. He appreciates our desires to live the Gospel. I do still feel like i need to devote a little more time to scripture study and finding time to feel the spirit. I am grateful to have many opportunities to be able to do that just because i have so many wonderful people in my life or recognizing the tender mercies our Father in Heaven sheds upon us every single day. I can in know way picture my life with out the Gospel. I would be incomplete. Which brings me to missionary work and my deep love and appreciation for it. There are sooo many of our brothers and sisters out in the world who are yet to receive this wonderful gift of the Gospel that i have had my entire life. I have such a strong desire to serve a mission for this church and if it is the Lords will for me to do that, i will not hesitate to take that opportunity. If it isn't the Lords will, I will of course be a missionary wherever i go and whoever i come in contact with. I think it's so important to always keep a missionary spirit with us at all times and do our part as members of the church to help bring our heavenly brothers and sisters home to our Father in Heaven. I had an experience the other night that i am not completely satisfied with but have hope in. As i was walking out of target about 10 feet away from my car a girl about my age with a worried look on her face came up to me and said that she didn't mean to bother me but wondered if she could use my cell phone to call her friend. She had been dropped off earlier that day or evening to job hunt in that area around target(northeast corner of southern and gilbert) and her roomate never came to picked up. Her roommate never answered and had no one else to call. Poor girl was so scare and almost in tears. She lived out in Apache Junction and the last bus that night had already left and she didnt have enough for a cab. i looked through my wallet and had just spent the last of my cash. All i had were quarters. I decided to go inside and return what i had bought and she said she would wait outside. As i was walkin back into target i remembered how she said she was job hunting for "religious purposes" i didnt EXACTLY know what that meant but it automatically mad me think of the pass-a-long card i had been keeping in my purse for quite some time and as i was at the return counter i search and found it in my purse. (i knew it would come in handy sometime!) I was so happy that i had it. I got the cash and as i handed it to her along with the pass-a-long card and told her just to promise to keep it. I know it was just probably a card to her but I can't help but hope that she really took it as something serious that i wanted her to have. I'll probably never know, in this life, if it had any effect on her but I know that there was a reason i kept that card and probably a reason for me to come in contact with her so that i may be given an opportunity to help someone else out. My $15 dollar purchase that i sacrificed may have changed someones life. I hope in the long run it did. I was kind of angry with my self for not having a Book of Mormon with me so the second i got home i put one in my purse and the next day filled my purse with more pass-a-long cards. I feel that we always need to be prepared for experiences like those. I challenge everyone to keep a couple pass-a-long cards or a Book of Mormon in your car or purse or have them somewhere period. We probably often are scared to pursue a missionary act or moment, but friends or anybody may be more ready than we think. We should at least invite them to learn or invite them to some little activity. They could be more prepared than we were aware of. Listen and follow the promptings from the Holy Ghost who is our constant companion. And live a life where you are able to receive those promptings.
This blog has turned out to be way more than i expected. If you have gotten to this point...you are a trooper! I just am so passionate about missionary work and for this Gospel because i see how it effects the lives of people in the most amazing way. Having it and living it is THEE ONLY way to find TRUE happiness. I know because i have experienced it. I know that everything in life works out its own way on its own time, but the point is is that it WILL work out as long as we live according to how we have been commanded to. I love my family, my friends, and my life!

He's just not that into you...
Hmmm... so i saw that movie last night and i have to say that i have very mixed feelings about it. Parts of it were funny, Parts were way too uncomfortable, and then parts just basically made girls look desperate and guys look like jerks. Plus it was wayyyy too long haha. I can say there's only one part that i like and i caught myself tearing up. I wouldn't say its a horrible movie but i definately wouldn't suggest everyone to go see it as if it was a favorite of mine. I actually had plans to go see Bride Wars instead and I regret not going now haha. If anyone saw He's just not that into, what were your opinions?? I'm curious

Disney Top :)
Alright for all of those who know me very well, you know how much i absolutely love Disney and DisneyLand and know i will sometime in my life work there. It's a dream of mine that i will make sure comes true!:) haha. Any who, I came across this adorable Disney top while just lookin at clothes online.(yes i am blogging about something silly again). I'm always lookin for things no one has, hence why I'm looking online. I love getting new disney tops for my next trip to the wonderful DisneyLand Resort (which i hope is soon!) It was different and it was on sale so i was sold; shippings a pain of course because i could totally do with that 5 bucks but it was worth it. So many of you are probably laughing about my silly little blogs and the little things that make me happy but MEG, i know you'll appreciate this :) haha
You can't say you don't love it :)

The Constants in my Life....my friends... :)
Even though i might not have many, i have the most amazing ones. I have probably terribly failed in showing the appreciation i have each any every one of them.
Kelly Allen-If i could only tell you how amazing this girl has been to me. She's the most amazing friend anyone could ask for. By the spirit she carries with her, she helps me to find hope that i didn't think existed. She constantly reminds me that happiness is never too far away if you look for it. I love that she puts up with my annoying little weird thoughts and things i ponder about. I love our conversations we have. Plus i love singing in the car together. We swear our voices are incredible....hahaha...Love you Kell! "you are the wind beneath my wings" ha
Josie Thompson-Oh goodness. Words can't express how much this girl inspires me to try and be like christ every day because thats what i see in her whenever i come in contact with her. without her having to specifically say it, you can tell how much she loves God and our savior jesus christ just by her actions and her words. I admire her so much and i hope she knows that and knows that she ever needed me, id be there in a heartbeat. Love you JOSE!!!!
Kimberly Hathcock-I don't know what i would do if she wasn't there for me these past few days. I've known kim for a couple of years now but we never really hung out or anything and little did i know she would become such a good friend of mine and little does she know that i used to think she was one of the prettiest coolest girls and wished to be friends with her back when i first met her when she was on Euporea and i wasn't hahaha. It's pretty much ridiculous how almost identical our lives are. She's such a strong amazing girl and i absolutely love the person she is. She is such a sweetheart to everyone she comes in contact with. Love you KIM! :)
Sylvia Othon-So even though i'm at times very envious and jealous of her because she is so gorgeous and i want to hate her for that...i can't. ha
I have the funnest times with her. I hardly get to see her because she lives in mexico but when she comes to visit, it's the greatest :) She is such an awesome girl and so fun to be around. I swear she's worry free because she lives her life that way. She's my girl to just go crazy with haha. Love you SYLVERS! hope to see you soon!
Amber Payne???-So it's totally weird that she is married but i couldn't be happier for her. This girl seriously makes me so happy. There's no way when I'm around her that i can't keep from smiling and being happy. She makes me so excited about life. Ever since we first talked in seminary my first day at mesa she has been such a help in my life without knowing it probably. I know she's probably had hard times in her life like every one of us do but you would never know it because she's always a happy person and helps me try and always seek for the good in things and find happiness. Through highschool and still now, she is such an amazing example to me!. I love you so much AMBO! :) AMBER SQUARED forever! ha
I can't even express my graditute i have to have some of the most amazing people I've ever met as friends. They help me get through life just by me remembering how blessed i am to have them. They are all such amazing examples to me and they truely are the constants in my life. They are all such loyal friends. Each of them selfless and willing to do anything to help a friend. You girls are my angels.
Here are a buch of pictures of fun times I've had with them and some other friends :)

Putting the pieces together
So me and mother absolutely LOVE doing puzzles together. Its kinda our little thing we have. It had been quite awhile since we had done a puzzle. i wanna say like 2 years, not sure but either way its been too long. She brought home puzzle that took us not too long; maybe a day or so. I then got into the mode of just wanting to do puzzles all the time. I had forgotten that we put all our puzzles in storage and we had already done them probably twice anyways. I had just remembered at that moment about a puzzle my friend and i had bought. It was a photomosaic picture of mickey mouse in front of the disney castle. For those who don't know what a photomosaic is, its a picture made of tiny pictures.so we took on the challenge of putting together this 1000 pieces photomosaic puzzle. and boy was it a challenge. we got like nothing done for three days cause thats all we spent our time on cause my friend had bet that we couldnt get it done and of course he totally underestimated us. Here's a picture in honor of our accomplishment:) haha
Now it's time to look for a new puzzle :)
if any one knows a place with awesome and fun jigsaw puzzles, please, let me know :)
( i know this was probably the silliest thing to blog about but i knew i hadn't updated in awhile, and sadley this is the most exciting this thats happened lately haha)
