Remember

Remember to always smile.
Remember to love everyone and everything.
Remember to give of yourself always.
Remember, remember to remember that life is a gift.
Remember that everyone needs love.
Remember that there will always be someone that knows exactly what you're going through and how you're feeling.
Remember that everyone has a story. Whether you can see it or not.
Remember that you are never alone.
Remember that love and charity are interchangeable words.
Remember that the only thing stopping you from having what you so badly want is yourself.
Remember, next time you feel as though you've hit rock bottom... that you've felt that way before and got up and over it just fine.
Remember to love with every fiber of your being.
Remember to remember your blessings.
Remember to count every blessing a second, third, fourth, hundredth and thousandth time.
Remember that everyone wants to be loved, that everyone deserves to be loved.
Remember that we are no better than anyone else on this earth regardless of the home, the money, the clothes, the cars, the friends... remember that we are all equal in our Heavenly Fathers eyes.


Remember that love is the greatest gift we can both give and receive at all times... and remember: it's free.

Everybody loves love.

For true.

Joy in Little Curiosities

At least, common in my case.
Because people at the aquarium just KNOW that I want to flash that lucky Octopus...

... this car is obviously frightened.

I got a flash back from the Final Destination movies

Drawn for me to help me understand the personalities of a particular friend of mine. It's frightfully accurate!

This is one of those uhm *cough* fine cops waiting in front of my house to give out some $200 tickets. Now Isn't he a sweetheart.

If you can't tell... that car is actually a metallic pink. It was ridonkulous. For true.

This is my favorite word (legit)... according to Kristine and Brian. Pfft. What do they know! ;-D

Once I become a P.A. I am soooooo gonna get me a car like this!!!

Legitness at its best.

Recreational Dating

The next time you are lonely and are regretting the fact that you DIDN'T accept to go on a date with a guy you DIDN'T like that much . . . remind yourself that you would have hurt that poor guy by dating him and not even being into him. Hello... leading someone on is horrible. No one should ever be toyed with like that. If you feel nothing for the fella' just be honest and tell him you only see him as a friend... or whatever the case may be. It sucks to see my guy friends get hurt because girls accept going on dates with them only to tell them later on a fourth or fifth date that they're really not interested in being anything more than friends. Poor guys. Girls that recreationally date because they're lonely SUCK.

The Art of Rapping... And other Little Things I Learned In Speech Class

I had to watch the rest of these in my speech class. Hope you like them :-)


What not to do...


even "great" public speakers have things they need to work on:


Oh man...

My ABC rule has few exceptions... these are the only exceptions.

THE ONLY FOUR COUNTRY SONGS I'VE EVER LIKED. AND PROBABLY EVER WILL LIKE. No offense to those who love country... Just not my thang. Since I'm one of them O.G.s You know how I do ;-)

ABC means Anything But Country

Tango

This is part of an actual song:

"What network are you on, ORANGE,
Colour of your bathwater, ORANGE,
Your favourite fruit must be an ORANGE,
Girl, did you know your ORANGE!!
Slap bang goes on your fake tan,
Girl you look like the tango man
Woodeeyy wooo, do the tango,
Wooodeeyy wooo, do the tango"

I had to google the Tango Man... and this is what I got:

I dont even know what to make of this. But do you know what the true story is here?   

The dude really is too orange. Just sayin'

KIDDING! In my understanding the Tango Man is actually a guy that goes around all orange and chills at soccer games in England. Though this is just what I got off of my good friend "Google search".

Cloudy with a chance of Congestion.

Third day of being sicky icky. Allowing myself to record how I feel right now is quite difficult to do. Though I know I must.  I can breathe out one nostril (my left one to be exact.) I couldn't really taste the Taco Bell Kristine brought me... but I'm sure it woulda been absolutely delish if I would have had the privilege of owning taste buds that functioned properly at the moment. I've been in my pjs since about five this evening (Green ones with cute little book worms on them that Aiden loves looking and pointing at.) Currently listening to: Cobra Starship "Hot Mess"

Yesterday I felt horrible, today I managed. If all goes well tomorrow will be awesome :-) Kristiney beany came over to keep my sick little self company and watch Bucket List. After all, she is the one that got me sick to begin with... So keeping me entertained at my death bed was the least she could do...


Kidding Kristine!

Having Fun Being Me---Being Me and Having Fun.

This week has been awesome. The soccer, Baptisms for the Dead, the talks I'm preparing to give and the friends I have make my life anything but boring. :-) Yesterday alone I was told that I looked like a person one would normally see in New York City instead of Modesto. IDK. . . but I'm pretty sure that was a compliment. I would LOVE living in New York. (Just sayin') :-D

Top 10 Places I'd like to live in the U.S. (IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER)

1. Nashua, New Hampshire
2. New York-- anywhere in NY
3. Basically anywhere in California
4. Chicago, Illinois 
5. Seattle Washington
6. Washington D.C.
7. Salt Lake City, Utah
8. Raleigh, North Carolina
9. cleveland ohio
10. Clarksburg West Virginia?

I don't even know. 

I want to live in a cool new place where no one knows my name. 

That would be legit. 

Quick as a Turtle

To say the absolute least... I've been working my way through the Book Of Mormon. It ain't easy. I find myself lucky to have the study guide at my side every morning and night as I attempt to understand everything I read instead of just pretending to understand (which I can honestly say I used to do.) 

It's taken me a while to get through second Nephi... but I just don't like moving ahead until I fully understand what's going on. I feel absolutely useless when I'm lost. I love the scriptures no matter what... but understanding them makes me love them a hundred times more :-)

As I was reading this morning I realized that for the next three or four hours I'm legitimately on a spiritual high. It's fun to ride the jolly train, and that train is a whole lot... jollier after reading the scriptures. 

True story. 

True Story:

Life is so beyond beautiful. I'm so blessed to have the wonderful family I have. I'm hoping to be able to do a baptism for my great grandmother whom just passed away this week in Guatemala. It would be exciting to do temple work for her, and I just can't wait! 

Today I am officially certified for CPR and choking... and then in a couple weeks I'll be certified in first aid as well. I absolutely love my life! I was with the girls today, and I don't get how they can uplift me even more than I already am... It's incredible to know each and everyone of those girls. They make me a better person and I'm so excited to have them all in my life and to see what adventures we will be going on together in the future. :-)

Planning next saturday, along with a speech and then a photography day. 

SHOULD BE FUN!
