Ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to the joys of my favorite past time :)

Just happy things.

I love this man more and more every time he speaks!

And click here to go to my favorite song of conference! So powerful, I got chills:) Love those cute missionaries. 

Spring winds.

Deep wind that flows into my mind, into my lungs, into my heart. With a gust, it blows away all my stress, fears, longings, and harmful wonderings. Slowly, with a caressing breeze, it refreshes my burned out mind that is slowly fizzling to irrelevance. With a push and a pull it takes away all the pains in my legs, all the pains in my mind. In stark reality, the wind invites me outdoors, beckons to roll down the windows and literally drink the mountain air.  It tangles my hair into impossible knots and opens my eyes to new worlds in the same neighborhoods. The wind follows me along a path of trees, awaking each and every leaf, making them dance before my eyes. It pushes away clouds, makes way for the sun. And with the sun and wind comes a freedom that I never dared taste. With this comes a sense of belonging, and sense of rightness to the world when everything is going wrong. 

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Love photography? Then go here. I am absolutely in love with this concept. I could look at it for hours! Plus it makes me homesick for Tokyo. I miss it.

Today was kind of a bum day. My best friend is on the plane for China! But I love my friends here too:) Today Mr. Myrup taped me and Abby's mouth shut. It worked, for a little while..

Who's excited for this? I sure am!!

Today my mom bought me a calculator. A pink one. Is it sad that I was super excited about it?

Happy Spring Break!!! Here's some lovely reminders and cute pick-me-ups to give you a brighter day on this snowy wonderland {personally, I kind of like it!}

Feel the {sun} on your skin!

Welcome! I've kept a little secret blog for a long time, but I thought it would be fun to have a friends one too! It's not going to be very exciting, just about my life! So here goes nothin...

So today went by fast, fast. I took a test in Geography (goodbye Ms. Mckell!), had donuts in Geometry (thank you Jeremy), ate baguettes in French (and had a tearful farewell with Madame Welch), and then cut out my new skirt for sewing!! (It better be cute.)

But between that me and Em went to the seminary lunchside, thanks for reminding me Haylee, and the speaker was Brother Peter Mourik. Sound familiar? Pres. Monson talked about him here. Anyways, it was so crowded they were having overflow classrooms, but me and Em nabbed two chairs outside of the doorway. He was glowing!! And his accent was pretty cool:) Anyways he just gave this Easter message, and talked about the Atonement, and then the Resurrection, and it was so good! He was crying. And precious. He was like "The atonement made men holy, and free." And "The one thing we can give to Jesus is our worthiness." I mean, Christ bled from every pore because for me! He died for me. And he suffered unbearable pain, like think of the worst pain you've felt, and multiply it by a million. The sinless one took on all the pains of the world. And wow it just hit me so hard! If there's only one reason to keep the commandments, (and there's not) it's that we MUST make it up to Him, dont make Him feel like His ultimate sacrifice was for nothing. Brother Mourik said, "We should ask the question Pontius Pilate asked every day for ourselves, 'What shall I do with this Jesus?'" How will I honor Him, keep Him in my heart, and always feel His undeniably loving presence. Oh it was so good! I was tardy for sewing, but it was so worth it!

And it's been sooo pretty the past couple days! Plus look at my cute dog:)
