What Heaven Sees In You Official Video

Simply a marvelous reminder to all of us!

My 8s!

8 things I'm looking forward to...

My Mom's birthday! What could possibly be so amazing about my Mom's birthday? Well, it's also my half birthday... so, I love spending awesome days with her and I get to cook her dinner and cake! YAY!

Going to Colorado! I love Colorado! I would really love to live there! I feel like it's simply the best place on earth! Also, my Grandma will be turning 89! YAY!

Thanksgiving!!!!! I absolutely love Thanksgiving! It's quite possibly my second favorite holiday! (Easter is first) I don't like how Christmas keeps over powering the wonderful holiday of Thanksgiving! We live in America where we have much to be thankful for! Oh and the fact that Jessica is coming for Thanksgiving!

The First Presidency Christmas Devotional! I love listening to all those wonderful stories they always tell!

Being able to go take the literacy test again and most hopefully pass!

Going to Colorado again for Christmas! Last time I went to Colorado for Christmas was in 2002 when Grandpa was still alive so, it will be interesting to not have him near. However, my entire family will be there! Which will be awesome!

The New Year! I'm really hoping that this New Year will bring me amazing new possibilities and opportunities!

Cowboy Mouth in SLC. I'm really hoping my brother and I can go to that cause it will be amazing to see their Mardi Gras tour! :D

8 wishes...

I wish I could get a job...

I wish people wouldn't gossip about others so much...

I wish this next year will go by fast so I can see him again...

I wish I could find my own place to live...

I wish people were more understanding of others...

I wish I could finally get a fix on my sinuses...

I wish I knew what I really want to do with my life...

I wish everything were just more simple...

The Oak Tree Poem

This poem was given in Elder Ballard's talk! It's amazing! :-)

The Oak Tree

by Johnny Ray Ryder Jr

A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark

But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around
The weary wind gave up and spoke.
How can you still be standing Oak?

The oak tree said, I know that you
Can break each branch of mine in two
Carry every leaf away
Shake my limbs, and make me sway

But I have roots stretched in the earth
Growing stronger since my birth
You'll never touch them, for you see
They are the deepest part of me

Until today, I wasn't sure
Of just how much I could endure
But now I've found, with thanks to you
I'm stronger than I ever knew

An AWESOME Halloween!

For Halloween this year I went to Rexburg for the Halloween concert and some good, clean fun with some really amazing friends! The theme for the Halloween concert was Cowboys and Indians... it was pretty funny to realize how humorous BYUI can be! They can sure make fun of themselves! Hmm... Oh, I was a southern belle this time... like an old timey one! :D I already am a Southern Belle so it was pretty easy just to make it up a bit! I was able to spend some time with so many people! I surprised friends, and had a really good break from life! :D Well, pictures now! :D
