Patriarchal Blessing

So I finally recieved my Patriarchal blessing on Sunday. I really would have liked to have mom and dad there but I felt like now was the right time to get it.
It was here on campus in the Honor Code Office. The Patriarchs name is Brother Sommer. He is probably the cutest little old man I've ever seen. It was him and his wife in the room. They have six kids and 22 grandkids and some great grandkids. They were overly sweet! They asked about my family and told me stories about Patriarchal blessings. Brother Sommers was so cute he was constantly smiling and was always laughing!
It was a very special time for me and the spirit was so strongly there. I cannot wait to recieve the hard copy of it to read over and over again. I will never forget the feelings and spirit I felt. It was life changing.
I'm so grateful for all of you who have made such a huge impact in my life! I love you!

Sunday Traditions






As most of you know there a gorgeous temple in Rexburg Idaho. You can see the temple from anywhere in the city. It is so beautiful and a constant reminder of what I'm aiming for. Every Sunday we my roommates have decided to go and visit the temple. We dont go inside but sit outside, take pictures, etc. It's amazing! These girls in the pictures are my beautiful roomates. All except the girl in the gray dress with pink shoes she is evas friend from home that was visiting when we took these picts. My other roomate is anti-social, which explains why she isn't in them.
I'm so grateful to have a temple so close and always in site. It's a huge blessing in my life!
Last weekend I was able to see the majority of my family. It was an AMAZING weekend! I absolutely adore my family! I look up to all of my siblings and I love them so much! It was so great being able to see all of them.
I miss Livermore......alot, but i'm having fun up here! It snowed today.. : ( but hopefully it'll get warmer soon!

The last Days

So this past week has been AMAZING! We were so blessed to have Ryan, Melissa and Alta stay at our house! It was so fun hanging out with them....even though they woke me up at 9AM every..morning...bleh..but it was still fun! Ryan is super fun and I love him dearly! Melissa is amazing and so fun and gorgeous! Alta is just the cutest thing ever and i just love her squishy cheeks! I miss them already! <3
Lauren, Andrea and I drove down to Monteray Bay( which is where Megan goes to school). It was super fun I got to hang out with some of her friends, we went to the beach, partied hard, acted stupid, dumb, and silly haha and it was a blast! It was so good to be back with my besties! And it's even greater that we can all be at different colleges...not see eachother for months and still be able to hang out like nothing had changed!

I have to admit this has been the hardest month ever...and it's only the 13th! haha
So I'm leaving this Friday for school. I'm excited! I'll get to see my friends, meet new friends, meet new boys : ) and many other things!
Yet....I'M STRESSING! lol
I've noticed I get attached super easily to people, and things! I love my family so incredibly much, I've been crying every night because I miss everyone, plus knowing that life in Livermore is going to go on without me.. GASP!
I've been SO SO SO blessed with the most AMAZING people ever here in Livermore. I couldn't ask for better companions and examples in my life. 
I've talked about this to family here..and they just say I need to grow up. But well...sorry! My heart just keeps expanding every day and I love everyone more and more! My friends and siblings are getting sick and tired of me complimenting them everyday but I cant help it! I honestly love you all! 
Dont get me wrong i'm super excited for school and I will have the time of my life...but I will sorely miss my life here in Livermore.
Oh well! Thats life huh? Well all y'all HAVE to keep in touch....and if you can
visit me on my birthday! haha <3

Happy birthday Randy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Randy is one of the most amazing people I know! I love him so much! I remember when I was little when someone would make me cry, or sad Randy was always one of the first tom comfort me. He'd come up to my room and comfort me then always get me to laugh. 
He has so many talents. I honestly cant name a single thing he isn't good at! I'm so proud to call him my brother! He can always bring a smile to your face. He is such a good father, and brother to me. I just hope that my future husband is just like him! love you Randy!

But I was still  a nervous reck, last night I couldn't sleep because I hadn't practiced with the choir and ahh! But it went great! thank goodness its over! It was really fun though!

6. Let the fun begin!

1.)I've discovered that I snore...a lot. I'm kind of devastated by this. LOL. How on earth is my husband to tolerate this? It's quite a bothersome thing to me and i'm not sure what to do.....lolllll

2.) I cannot draw hearts if my life depended on it! I swear i was supposed to be a boy because I just cant do all the little girly things. I have horrible handwriting and I cant draw hearts! Kinda sad huh? lol I practice all the time..but yanno...oh and i cant whistle...hmm

3.) Everyone knows I want to be a Cosmetologist, and i'm so excited because I love it and it's a passion for me. But my biggest passion is dancing. I love it so much! I'm by far not the best but that doesn't stop me! Everytime I go to a show or anything with dancing my legs start to twitch and I long to be performing with them! If I could I would love to be a professional dancer. This explains why i'm taking three dance classes up at school next semester : )

4.) I'm a very touchy feely person. I'm the only one in my family that is like that. I love hugs and I think it's because it's the insecure part about me. I always worry that my siblings are annoyed of me or think i'm , or like Carrie better lol. So i'm constantly giving them hugs because it reasures me that we love eachother. Too bad for them that they hate it hahaha : )

5.) I cant pick a style to stick with hahaha. Like one day i'll like dressing like a hick, or the next day a punk, or the next day a prep., or hippie. Like I just cant ever decide! I love al styles and I wish I could stick with one..but I just cant haha!

6.) Some wierd quirks about me are: When I eat apple sauce it has to be cold. I drink my orange juice with ice. I cant eat corn on the cob. If someones hood is inside out...I freak haha! I hate having wet socks. I honestly love everyone and I just cant darn help it! 

ok hmmm lets see...I tag Mardi Barber, Ryan Hahn, Rick Johnson : )
