President Gordon B. Hinckley said:

"Today many sisters are being called to serve. Many more are preparing to serve. Not because they aren't married or don't have anything else to do, but they have the desire to serve. One reason that the Lord wants more sisters to serve is because within the next generation He will send His priesthood army to the earth. He wants to send choice spirit children to mothers who have been prepared, properly trained, and taught in the gospel. What better schooling can a mother have than to experience and grow as she serves a mission." --Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Mornings..

oh how I DREAD waking up in the mornings!! 8 am comes soo fast! If i could just sleep all day and never wake up-then i'd do it. Although-once I get up, I'm fine. It's just the initial step out of bed. Well- this morning my dad made the comment to me that I have the morning personality of my mother. and of course I hesitated and of course-denied it. But I realized!! IT'S SO TRUE! I am not the chipper happy-go-lucky girl until probably an hour has passed. By then i'm outta the: let me go crawl back in bed stage and actually have my butt moving. needless to say- i had to agree. i'm not a morning person. :)

"Just the way you are"



[Verse 1]
Her eyes, her eyes
make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday (yeahh)

I know, I know
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But everytime she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say

[Chorus]
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

[Verse 2]
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh
she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfects what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
'Cause you know I'll say

[Chorus]
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are

[Repeat Chorus]

These are the words of a song that every girl longs for. It's so nice to hear a song on the radio that isn't degrading to women, but rather how beautiful we are. :)

OBSESSIONS!

1. Animal Print. I have to have my Cheetah high heels sometime before I die. My dad says he'll buy them for my 80th birthday. haha (And put me to my grave!) Someday in my own house, I want a room decorated with animal print..my dream will come true :)
Cheetah TEEZE-12 5 3/4" Heel Concealed Platform Pump w/ Ribbon Bow by Bordello Shoes

2. Vicks. This is a must have on my lips before I leave the house to go anywhere. It's addicting and makes my lips feel like the greatest things ever.

3. Pretty Little Liars, The Gates, So You Think You Can Dance, and the Bachelorette. I love reality T.V. ever since I went away to college. I love the suspense of what will happen next, who will be eliminated, etc. Ah! <3

4. Perfume/Body Spray. I can't go anywhere without smelling good. Just not an option.

5. Hummers. They have to be newer. None of this old hummer stuff. New all the way. Either silver, black, red, or white.

6. Diet Dr. Pepper. Everyone knows that I have to have my Diet Dr. Pepper!!

Old Memories-Gone and Missed

Ever wish you could go back in time, erase what had happened and pick up where you left off? Well that's me. There's always going to be that thing that I miss and want back but don't know if I ever will. Whether it's a decision I made in life, someone who impacted my life, etc. People were placed in my life for a reason. Decisions that I had to decide between made me stronger, more mature, but in the end-it's still missed. I love the memories that I've made. They help me reflect back on the good and what once used to be. Don't get me wrong. Life's great! It's just thanks to those memories, everything will always be fairly close to me and I'll always remember what I once had :)
