I love random days full of fun photo shoots :)

Muse!

Last night Julie and I got to go to the Muse Concert! AMAZING! We were on the floor and just a little bit back from the stage therefore we got a great view and even better pictures! Julie took a ton so I am having to condense it down but if were friends on facebook their all on there!

They had the eye balloons with confetti and they threw them down at the end and then popped them!

I may or may not have a little crush on the bass player now :)

I wish I could post all of the pictures! They don't give the concert justice for how great it was! Muse is my all time favorite now!

So for Arizona's Spring Break I got the opportunity to go to LA and do some shopping and family time with my Mama, Lyss, Soms, Shay Bugs and Lyss's missionaries Mom Cath and his sister Beck who are close friends of our family. Its was tons of fun and much needed! I didn't take many pictures because I didn't want to lug my camera around with me but the night we went down to Hollywood I got pictures of me playing tourist :)(LOVE Judy Garland shes my favorite actress)

(Soms Shay Bugs and I)


(Harry Potter...need I say more? Im their biggest fan)(They always have people down there dressed up and loved this one of The Joker)

....they also had white AND black MJ(They also had wax figures around and this was the coolest one there)

All in all it was a great trip and I had lots of fun even if Shay Bugs felt the need to sleep in our bed on top of me :)

"The Joy of Womanhod"

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Oh, how we pray that every young woman will grow up to be all the wonderful things she is meant to be. We pray that her mother and father will show her the right way. May daughters of God honor the priesthood and sustain worthy priesthood holders. May they understand their own great capacity for strength in the timeless virtues that some would scoff at in a modern, liberated world for women."

-Margaret D. Nadauld

I am so proud to be a Daughter of God! You can read the entire talk here.

Loving Yourself

I was reading Britney's blog today and one of her posts stood out to me a lot so im going to copy her :)

“I testify that no one of us is less treasured or cherished of God than another. I testify that He loves each of us—insecurities, anxieties, self-image, and all. He doesn’t measure our talents or our looks; … He cheers on every runner, calling out that the race is against sin, not against each other.” Elder Jeffrey R. Holland


So here's what I(she) decided: we are all going to participate in a little exercise today. I'll start, you'll follow.First, we are going to name 3 physical traits that we actually like about ourselves. Then, we are going to name 3 talents we have. Next, we'll state 3 accomplishments we are proud of. After that, we will name 3 personality traits or qualities of ours we are glad we have. And last, we will name 3 people that we know love us unconditionally -- faults, insecurities and all.

Here goes:

Physical Traits
1. My button nose
2. My eyes
3. My smile

Talents
1. Cooking
2. Crafts
3. Softball

Accomplishments
1. Living on my own in another state
2. Getting my license in hair
3. Being independent

Personality Traits/Qualities
1. Forgiving heart
2. Patience
3. Strong testimony

People that Love Me
1. My Heavenly Father/Jesus Christ
2. My parents
3. My sisters

Im not having some identity crises Im just grateful for who I am and I think we all should be grateful for who we are. Heavenly Father made us and he doesn't make mistakes.

So lets all celebrate our uniqueness and embrace our attributes and faults.
Happy Monday :)

"Love is not just looking at each other, but looking in the same direction"

I am in major miss mode these past couple weeks. I can't seem to get completely out of this funk and I know many have tried to help but I just feel its impossible at this moment. I have so much to be thankful for and have been blessed immensely for starters....
-I just got a part time nanny job....literally the greatest thing to ever happen and I did a happy dance and said multiple prayers of thanks.
-I have the best room mates..especially Julie she makes things so much better and I am so grateful to have a friend like her she's amazing!
-I have a great ward and Bishopric...first singles ward that I've actually felt comfortable at.
-I have an amazing family who care for me so much.
These our just some of my many blessings but I guess they don't fill the hole in my heart that hurts. I miss my family a lot. I wish they were a walk away and not a phone call away. It's hard being away from them. I miss my bed at home and talks with my parents late at night or taking drives with Alyssa and our talks. I miss my sisters Sommer and Brianna and my loves shay bugs and Lo. I miss their words of comfort and their hugs. I miss my G-ma and going to lunch with her or working for her just so we can spend time together.

The rest of the pain comes from missing my best friend. It's weird to know he is down the street from me but I can't see him or talk to him. I know were not together for a reason but it doesn't lesson the hurt and loss of a best friend. Like the quote above "love is not just looking at each other, but looking in the same direction." Ill find someone who has the same direction as me . I don't expect us to be exactly the same but I want us to have similar dreams and ideas for not only us but for our future family.

Like every other day all I can do is count my blessings because I have so many and draw closer to the Lord for help and guidance.

I miss you ALL!
