A Few...

Of my favorite things.


A band I just discovered. [The Starting Line]




I love "Best of Me."


And flats. I love flats. This style and color is too cute. I love em with skinny jeans. But only denim, not those crazy colors Rue 21 sells.


I'm really loving the plaid look.

Doesn't she look cute? I don't think I could pull this together myself. Wishful thinking...

I'm a girly-girl at heart. So I love jewelry like this:

and this:

















And I've always loved A Fine Frenzy. Her voice is amazing and her lyrics are inspiring. :]

A few weeks ago, I got a text from a dear friend of mine. It went something like this: "These last few weeks you've had such a smile on your face and your happiness just seems to be radiating from so far within. I don't know what it is, but do not let go of it."
Tonight, at institute, I came across a scripture. It's Mosiah 2:41. It says: "And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are recieved into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."
I don't know about you, but the promise of "never-ending happiness" sounds pretty AMAZING to me.

*Correction: I'm going to see the sixth Harry Potter, not the seventh. I guess I just got excited. Oops.

So according to Facebook, I am a 1930's girl.


You are strong and determined and have what it takes to get through life's
storms. You are very helpful to those around you-- be it your friends, your
family, or even a neighbor in need. You are a great leader and strong-willed
person, and take challenges as a way to better yourself...But you also have a
deep sense of warmth and nurturing for those you care about. You are
well-rounded and tough because you have to be. You aren't a "diva" but rather a
humble person with admirable character. With more hard-working, quality like
you, this world would be a much better place. By being able to turn a little
into a lot, you know how to make life enjoyable even if it's just through the
little things.

I think that fits. :)

{Ideas..}

When it comes to what I wear, eat, listen to, who I hang out with, and what I watch on TV, I'm a pretty opinionated person. I know what I want. I'm extremely picky.



Lately, I've decided that I want to redo my room. Its become quite cramped. I'm working on throwing out the things I don't need and giving away the things I don't want.



My mind changes every other day on what I want my room to look like. I want something that will make it seem bigger. Maybe some cute storage bins. But I also want it to represent my ideas, my thoughts, and my personality. That's where I'm at a loss.



Please, throw out any design ideas you guys come across. I need some ideas. I already have most of my furniture, so I'm need color schemes and general decorations. I say "most" because I'm still looking for a desk that I like. I want to figure out the colors and designs before I blow some cash on a desk that might not work.



Please?

Thank you.



On to other things.



In the boy situation, things have changed a lot since I was last on here. I'm not gonna say what's going on, because I don't want to jinx a good thing. Honestly, I don't really know what's going on, and I probably won't for the next two years.



In the friend situation, things have been a little strained lately. My heart says one thing and my head says another. Above boy has been helping out a lot. He gives great advice. In fact, one of his last texts what particularly insipiring. Its said,

Don't stand in unholy places. You see, anger is of the devil, and those who
bring anger and hate to others without caring about it are more of the devil
than of the Lord. We all upset people, but those who try not to most of the time
and try to spread love and peace are one who care and love the Lord.



So for the moment I'm just going to let things rolls off, leave it in the Lord's hands. I know that everything happens for a reason and I trust him with my whole heart.



That said, I'll tell you about my latest and newest goal.



I've never been a big Harry Potter fan. I told the kids that I'd take them each to dinner and a movie for their birthday. Well Tyler picked the 7th Harry Potter. I have seen a handful of the movies, but they never really sunk in. So I decided to read them. I read the first few when I was younger but lost interest. So I picked up at the fourth book. I have had my nost buried in a book for the past two weeks. But I finally finished tonight. And I loved the ending. I was pretty upset for a bit, although. I'd elaborate but I don't want to ruin the ending.

My newest goal is that I want to read the Book of Mormon again before I start school. I've realized that when I take the time to do this, my life is blessed in some times unseen ways.

On that note, I want to leave you with a scripture:
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but
not in dispair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not
destroyed.
-- 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
