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

..So close! Let recap!



Well, it's been forever, or at least it feels like ages! Although, it HAS been two months! So, lets recap!

-Came home from BYU-Idaho


-Moved into a BEAUTIFUL new house!


It's a new opportunity to have new neighbors, new surroundings, a Wal-Mart within realistic driving distance, an In-and-Out, Cafe Rio, Cane's, BJ's, Cold Stone, Buffalo W
ild Wings, EVERYTHING within only a few minutes..I LOVE IT!

-Changed my look: Stephanie Smith did my cut and Jamie Campbell did my color! They work at Destinations and would recommend them in a heartbeat! I am constantly getting compliments on my hair and who did it. Come get yours done by them as well! Destinations Salon Spa is where they're at!

-Went to Bryan and Connie's wedding:
They are such a cute couple and perfectly matched! I wish them the best! At the same time, I celebrated with Jared! Boy do I miss that kid! I look forward to his letters each week and he makes me so happy with his positive attitude towards everything about his mission! At their wedding, they had a life size cut out of him and we were able to take him in a photo booth..here we are. Isn't he cute?!

-School started..boo Chemistry! Although, it is starting to make sense!



-And as I do my homework, look who keeps me company..he just rests his head where ever he feels like it..he's so cute! aw, scooby.



-And sometimes I may or may not act my age with my brothers and play dress up with my dog. Poor thing..haha


-Work started and now I am a Salon Spa Coordinator at Destinations Salon and Spa and that is where I stand.


-Mission papers are being submitted this week!! I couldn't be more excited to serve the Lord for a year and a half! The church is true.


-Matthew turned "10" and I made his cake..stumble gave me the idea and I thought it was super cute!



-I am starting to read the Book of Mormon on a schedule with my family.


I can't wait to share this with those around me and bring souls unto Christ!

-I went to Salt Lake with my grandma for a photo shoot weekend, and here's what we got!




-First week at our new ward, well for me at least! So, we decided to document it:)


-A night out as siblings..where to? Dairy Queen! We had a sweet tooth.


-General Conference and my great-grandma asked us if she heard Pres. Monson say to pray for Obama. hahaha. We gladly corrected her!
Doesn't my gramps kinda look like a younger version of Tommy?!

-Baby shower for Julie! So excited for her:)
-Sleepovers with my great grandparents and Jen so my gma and gpa could get a break.


-Catching up on my shows: The Office and The Lying Game


-Realized the Bachelor will be starting right as i'll be heading out on my mission.
depressing. Bee, you need to keep me updated! He's such a nice guy and deserves the BEST girl.



And through it all, I'm still trying to make friends, enjoy the time I have left with my family, and stay positive!
