Needless to say more...

Working full time, Softball, Training for a half marathon, school, homework and many other wonderful things...my room tends to get a little neglected! Gotta love having a busy life!

It's the end of the world!

I feel very privileged to be writing this post tonight! The end of the world was supposed to happen today...well apparently that didn't happen. So I am happy to be alive and to continue on this journey of life! Just in case it was the last day of my life (and since our 3 make up softball games got cancelled) Kendra, Lance and I decided to do something we love. FOUR WHEELING! We borrowed Kevin's four wheeler and took lance's bike up Farmington canyon to enjoy our last day living and happy it was a warm one to do so! Or so we thought...Me and Kendra both in shorts and t-shirts went riding up the mountain. As we got higher and higher the colder it got along with more and more snow! When we got up as high as we could go we saw snow mobilers coming down the mountain in there big warm winter coats- they probably planned a little better than we did! We turned around and quickly went back to rolling up our sleeves because of the great warmth. It was such a good way to spend the last day of my life. But since i am still here...I guess I will just have to keep having more great adventures! Shucks! ;)

The day of mothers

Happy mothers day! I just wanted to write about how truly amazing my mother is. She is the most amazing women and I hope one day I can be even half the mother she is. My mother is so kind and caring to so many. I don't know of anytime she has not been serving others one way or another. Her heart is so big and she loves unconditionally. She is Patient and so wise. My mom is ALWAYS right! I can go to her anytime for anything and she is so understanding. My mother is so many other wonderful things and is my best friend! One day when I grow up I want to be just like her!

Happy Mothers Day! I love you Mom! :)

There's a place for us

You know how sometimes things can be on your mind and then at one moment they all just come together in an overwhelming way? Well that happened last night. Me and my mother went over to Janeal's house to watch "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" I have always loved the Chronicles of Narnia but this one really hit me. They are so symbolic of the gospel. In this movie it really showed two different  sides. The good and evil. Unlike many other movies with this same plot this one showed how much satan can be in our lives, maybe not with one big battle but little things and thoughts around us all of the time. One quote that really stood out to me was "Be strong...to over come the darkness out there, you must defeat the darkness in yourself." We all have darkness wither it is a simple thought that enters our mind, a negative response to something, or an action that we may regret. We need to over come these things as they are of satan. Another line in the movie that I liked goes something like this- I couldn't do it by myself, I needed him to help me change. How true is that. That only with the lords help can we change and become who we need to be. This all tied right into a talk that was given in a Stake Conference I went to in St. George. The talk was about excepting yourself and seeing yourself through the eyes of god and becoming more like him. Some scriptures were given that I really like were Alma 5: 15-17, 26-30. These have really made me want to take the time to evaluate my life to see what I am doing and how I can be better. At the end of the movie the song "There's a place for us" by Carrie Underwood was played and listening to the words I couldn't hold back my tears:

There's a place out there for us

More than just a prayer or anything you've ever dreamed of.

So when you feel like giving up

Cause you don't fit in down here

Fear is crashing in close your eyes and take my hand.

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.

It's written in the stars that shine above

A world where you and I belong

Where faith and love will keep us strong

Exactly who we are is just enough

Yes there's a place for us there's a place for us.

When the water meets the sky

Where your heart is free and hope comes back to life

When these broken hands are hold again

We'll find what we've been waiting for

We were made for so much more

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.

It's written in the stars that shine above

A world where you and I belong

Where faith and love will keep us strong

Exactly who we are is just enough

There's a place for us

There's a place for us

So hold on, hold on

There's a place for us

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.

It's written in the stars that shine above

A world where you and I belong

Where faith and love will keep us strong

Exactly who we are is just enough

Yeah, exactly who we are is just enough

There's a place for us
