The Truth I Know

When the day comes that you must leave this world, I will be sad for a moment. Then the tears I cry will be filled with joy because I know the time will come when I will see you again and we will be together as friends for Time and all Eternity.

Hate is a Strong Word but I Really Really Don't Like Airport Bathrooms.

Top 7 Things I Dislike about Airport Bathrooms.

7) Water all over the sinks. Where are you supposed to put your purse and jacket?

6) The outrageous lines. Yes, we all have a flight to catch and no, none of us want to use the even more ridiculous airplane bathrooms (don't even get me started). Make bigger bathrooms!

5) Automatic sinks that turn off when your hands are still soapy...and then it takes five minutes to turn back on! (These are the same sinks as the ones at Walmart - which also suck)

4) Stalls to small for you and all your luggage. How am I supposed to get two suitcases, a backpack, a jacket and myself into one tiny stall!?

3) Automatically flushing toilets...that flush while you are still sitting there.

2) Little boys with bad aim.

1) "Squatters" with bad aim. At least little boys have an excuse.

Happy New Year's

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope that you all had an incredible New Year's Eve and that the year has started off on a good note. I just wanted to share this 3 minute message with you all to remind you that what God has in store for us is so much better than what we can imagine for ourselves. Remember that when our Heavenly Father asks you to do something, don't look back. In a sense looking back is doubting him and his plan. Trust in Him. He loves you unconditionally.

One Time....

...a Frog and an Owl got together.

One was named Yin, the other Yang. They were Best Friends, forever and ever. Sometimes Yang would try to eat Yin but Yin would yell out "Don't forget who you are! You are Goodness." At other times Yin would run away and hide in fear until Yang would call out to her saying "Don't forget to show your smile to the world. Don't hide as if they have won."

So Many Days Have Passed...

...but don't worry, I'm still here. I'm thriving in my second day of being a whopping two decades old! I'm twenty years old. How did that happen? I'm sitting here thinking back on my life, wondering where did it go. I'm wondering "Did I enjoy it? Did I really live the last twenty years? Or did I just survive?" Well, it's time to stop surviving and start living. I need to let go but grab on at the same time. Let go of everything that is holding me back, forgive everything that is holding me down. I need to grab on to being the woman that I want to be. I need to grab ahold of the gospel and let it help me fly.

"You said you'd always be there for me if i fell, right? Well what if you're the one who pushed me off the cliff."

This is what happens when Cami and I get excited

On Monday this week Cami and I planned an incredible double date for Tom and I and Her and Richard. We spent all afternoon getting ready for it and, with the help of her Dad we pulled of the most incredible date ever.

Her Dad made shrimp skewers and pasta salad. We ordered the guys' favorite pizzas. Ham an pineapple for Richard and chicken/bacon and white sauce for Tom. We used some nice looking plastic dishes that Cami had laying around.

After we got everything packed up and picked up the pizza, we picked up the boys and were on our way to a park in Logan for the picnic part of the date. We blindfolded the guys so that they wouldnt know where we were headed and what we were setting up.

After the picnic portion of the date we headed over to the zoo to see all the animals.

Most of the animals were different types of birds. Lots of ducks.

Cami saw a peacock and decided to chase it.

She wanted to scare it enought for it to open it's tail.

It didn't work very well though.

And she was eventually defeated.

Tom is looking at the turtle. The turtle that I didnt get to poke.

Fish/Duck food. It was fun to see them fight for it =)

--------

The last part of the date was ice cream and cake and a movie at Richard's house.


All in all it was a pretty incredible night. Both Tom and Richard really had a great time which was always the main goal. If I ever have the chance to plan a date again, I'mnot sure how I will be able to top this one.
