Wisdom

I was at my aunt and uncles last night working on a gift for one of my friends. We were discussing something very important.. My uncle gave me a very good piece of advice. "Keep It Simple Stupid." And that is all.

White.

Lately, I've seen Lots of white. White clouds, white buildings, white snow, etc. What is white? The dictionary says, "of the color of pure snow, of the margins of this page, etc.; reflecting nearly all the rays of sunlight or a similar light." So this means white is the color of snow, and reflects all the rays of the sun. What does white mean? On a website I found it said that white is the color of purity, it means kindness. It even said that White daisies are a symbol of loyal love. Now that I have informed you of what I've learned, I suppose I should share what I think about the color white. White is cold, It can be stained easily. I also think white is purity, it's the color of temples and weddings. I think white is the color used for angels, it's what reminds me of our savior. White is the color referred to in Isaiah(1:18) when he says, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" The Lord Loves us, and wants us to be with him again! Let's live up to our name, and endure to the end! :)

The Prom.

Prom, prom, prom! Oh the Joys! So... On February 27, I walked into my room after a long dance practice. I found a poster that said, "I would totally POP if you would go to Prom with me!" and probably 150 balloons.
I didn't even know what to say! So, I didn't. I started popping! There were notes in some of the balloons that said, "Not this one", "how are your nerves?".. Etc. Well, as you can imagine, my nerves were going Bazurk! My mom magically found a balloon hidden behind my bed that had a shirt in it. The shirt said..

I was far too impatient to actually wash the shirt, therefore, I ran downstairs and used warm water to get the washable marker out.. guess which name stayed? MCKAY!! Wohooooo!!! I was Super Happy!

I started to Brainstorm ideas of how to answer McKay. My mom and I came up with one. We made a poster that said "You're so Sweet to ask me to Prom.. It'll be a real Treat!" then we made many treats (cupcakes, cookies, brownies, rice crispy treats, muddy buddies), got lots of his favorite candies, and cut out paper M&M's! My good friend Sierra and I drove to Spring City one day. We got lost along the way. (you can't blame us.. they don't have an address!). Finally we reached our destination, decorated his room, and waited. He came home an hour after planned.. but that was totally okay! He saw his room, was surprised and then I went over and said hi. We got to visit for a little bit, and soon after left.


Saturday (March 27) was the big day. McKay picked me up at, Oh I don't even remember what time, sometime around noon. The theme of the date was "A Day Back in Childhood." First We went with another couple (Okay, so Dwight, McKay's friend, didn't have a date yet. His date, Melanie, wasn't back yet from something, but we picked her up afterwards) to Wendy's and ate and made fruit loop necklaces. Then Dwight picked up Melanie. After that we went three legged Miniature Golfing! Oh my So fun!! I highly recommend it. I played really well too! After golfing, we drove to McKay's friends house for dinner. We had waffles with whipped cream, and strawberries. Mm.. mm.. good. McKay dropped me off at 5:30. I curled my hair, and got ready. He came and picked me up at 7. Mom and dad had me walk down the stairs.. Ha ha ha ha! I pinned on the boutonnière and he put on my corsage, we took some pictures, and left. Dwight was in the car, we took him to a Wendy's where his friend picked him up. We went to the Capitol, that's where the dance was. It was Awesome! We took pictures, and then walked around a little bit. When people started coming we went and danced a little. The DJ played some pretty Not good songs, and I didn't really want to participate in those songs. McKay noticed when I could tell it was bad and he'd escort me around the Capitol and we'd just talk. I'm glad he understood why I didn't want to dance to those songs, and agreed with me! Well, the dance ended and we left, they handed out chapstick as everyone was leaving. So wrong and funny at the same time! We were trying to find where Dwight was, and got completely lost. So I ended up getting home pretty late.





He looked so Handsome, and he was my Prince for the night! How Lucky was I?! Well.. It was an Amazing night :)

March 15, 2010

It's a Monday.

Today I was thinking, I do that quite often, I was thinking about college. I've been accepted to Utah State University, and here I come! I was also thinking about my family. I love them So Much! Utah State is two hours away from them! I know that shouldn't be that big of a deal, but honestly, I am a home body. If I have the chance to hang out with friends or stay home and play with my family, I'd Much rather stay with my family. Being two hours away is going to be a growing experience for sure! However, my family has always been there for me, and always will, I know it! No matter how far away from them I am. I can do this! :)

Mountain

It's high up in the sky,

Up to heavens gate.

It's amazing what we have down here, 

All that he creates.

The beauty that it shows,

You can't get anywhere.

It's so addicting, every piece,

Sometimes I stop and stare.

It can be a home, 

A shelter from the rage. 

You can feel the calm and peace,

And not have to engage.

Serenity and peace,

Are always at that place.

If any problem you need solve,

Come and pray for Grace.

Mountains are a holy place,

Where we are close to him. 

Receiving revelation, 

Filling to the brim.

View

In the world down here,

There seems to be no love.

But I can feel it near,

Perhaps from up above.

He loves us all so much,

And wants us to return.

To sit upon the throne's,

The ones that we have earned.

Someday I will return,

And see my father dear.

He'll look into my eyes,

And say "my child, come here."

He'll take me in his arms, 

And say "I love you so.

Come here and follow me,

There's something I must show."

He showed me all the heavens,

The beauty that surrounds.

Everywhere we went,

All upon the grounds.

He took me to a room,

'Twas beautiful in there.

No words could help describe,

The feelings that we shared.

Inside I saw a chair,

He said it was a throne.

I took a seat right then,

And knew that I was home.
