Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving what an amazing holiday we have so much in our lives to be thankful for I have been overwhelmed with gratitude this week for my life, for Christ sacraficing his life that I may have mine, for heavenly father watching over me in everything I do. I love Thanksgiving I was able to have a great meal surrounded by people I love what more could I ask for!!

"Be cool man"

So I love my class they are adorable and make everyday a good one for me.
I am teaching the the sond "Jingle Bell Rock" to sing in the Christmas program in a couple weeks(and not to brag but I am doing a seriously good job they have made major improvement in the past three days) back to the point we were practicing it today and my one of my favorite students(mostly because he ALWAYS does what i ask him to) was not singing and had this sad little pouty face(which was adorable)(sorry i will stop inserting and get to the point) and the boy next to him turned to him and said "be cool man, just sing its the cool thing to do" i LOVED this for one he said man in this hilariou voice and another singing is cool!! and this whole situation just brought me joyous thoughts of GLEE i am addicted and think about how much i want to be on the show daily but anyway point of the story BE COOL MAN JUST SING!!

Stronger than I ever knew!

"A mighty wind blew night and day
it stole the oak tree's leaves away
then snapped is boughs and pulled its bark
until the oak was tired and stark

But still the oak tree held its ground
while other trees fell all around
the weary wind gave up and spoke
How can you still be standing oak?

The oak tree said I know that you
can break each branch of mine in two
carry every last leaf away
shake my limbs and make me sway

But I have roots stretched in the earth
growing stronger since my birth
you'll never touch them you see
they are the deepest part of me

Until today, I wasn't sure
of how much I could endure
but know I found with thanks to you
I am stronger than I ever knew"
-Johnny Ray Ryder

Elder Ballard shared this poem and I love it, I think we are all so my stronger than we know and that if we always have our heart on Christ and his gospel with will be able to withstand anything!

The Buffet!

"A true friend stabs you in the front"-Oscar Wilde

"A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you the way that you are!"

"Friends are like bras: close to your heart and there for support"....

I have the two most amazing best friends a girl could ask for, together we are THE BUFFET! These two girls complete me they have been there through my hardest times, they make me laugh, they help me when I cry. I LOVE them with all my heart!

Jasmine Tanner: One of the most beautiful ladies I have ever met who I am lucky enough to to share a house and a bedroom with. I think it was God's plan for us to become friends she is a true inspiration to me and makes me a better person. I love our late night talks, how we are the pefect dish washing match, that even though she is 6 feet tall and I am 5 feet tall we can still share clothes, but most of all I love what a good example she is to me Jas handles everything with such maturity and she has one of the most amazing testimonies of Jesus Christ I have ever have heard! So thank you Jasmine Tanner for everything you do!:)

Allyson Barry:Is one of the most classy people I know, she is everything a true friend should be:loyal, honest, sincere, nurturing, loving, and most importantly ALWAYS there to support and love me. Ally has been there through thick and thin for me I love her as much as I love my family. We have been through "the best of times and the worst of times" and made it through it all as even better friends. She is everything from my mentor to my 6am work out buddy! Ally Barry you are one of my heros thank you so much!!
10 Reasons I know they are my friends to the end:
1.When I hystarically cry they sit there and listen even if they don't know what to say
2.They make me laugh daily
3.Most of the time we can finish each others sentences
4.We can say anything to each other and know its out of love
5.They would tell me if I "ranked like a pit";)
6.Even when I kiss a boy that I probably shouldn't have, that would totally call for an end of friendship speech they still love me and fogive me.
7.They support me
8.We can live together and not kill each other
9.We can be doing absolutely nothing but still enjoy being together
10.They know everything about me and love me for it!
Heavenly Father has given me two incredible blessings and I am eternally grateful!! They are sensational women and I love them like my own sisters!!!!

BEST SISTER EVER!!

So my most amazing incredible fantastic beautiful sister helped me make my blog legit so hopefully it will motivate me to blog more....hopefully:)

Well this fall as already been a blast!! I love my new job teaching special ed at Amelia Earhart elentary one of the best nights we've had though it the night we toilet papered the TAJ...no not the Taj Mahal but the TAJ house! here are some of our pictures (above i had some problems)

Already a terrible blogger! boo!!

So I am already horribly slacking on my blog and I just started but it is one my summer to do list to blog at least once a week this summer. Well it has already been amazing summer. First, I had my first trip to Idaho....wow in was an interesting expirence. I think I was successful though in my first three hours of being there I had already seen the whole town, got engaged, and scolded for disrespecting the midnight cufew(oops). But is was so much fun. Second, I am helping out with a summer program for handicap teens! It is a total blast I have some of the cutest teenagers in the world I am working with one of them is named Adam and he is just the funniest thing in the whole world I hope someday I am lucky enough to have a son as amazing as he is. I have the prettiest girls ever and we bond every Tuesday and Thursday over things like glitter toes or our new jewlery. Then there is Nefi and while he is hard for me to handle he is so funny and a huge ego boost every time I turn around he is right there telling me how pretty I am, he is just a joy. Third I have discovered a new passion now dont laugh....it is k-love radio is christian rock 24/7 and I am oppsessed its all I have been listening to. So far sumer is going great and it hasnt even started! ps i have no figured out how to post pictures yet but as soon as i do i promise there will be tons!!

Start of Summer:)

Well it its now my favorite time of the year...summer time!! Everything about summer is amazing: warm weather, snowies, playing night games, going to the pool, walking around barefoot, green grass, playing in the mountains, hot boys, swinging, early morning runs as the sun is coming up, pigeons purring at my window haha, waterparks, getting tan, bike rides, the 4th of July, vacations, no homework(for us students who don't force ourselves to take the awful thing that is summer school.), camping, bonfires, movies in the park, rolling down the hills at rock canyon park until you are sick, rafting down the Provo river, tunnel singing, EFY and sports camp kids taking over campus, lagoon!! The list goes on and on so this time of year just automatically puts me in a better mood. Along with all these great fantastic things though I discovered a new favorite this week:SPECIAL OLYMPICS!! I help out today and yesterday and it was life changing. The participants are some of the most incredible people I have ever met. Their determination inspired me, if someone who can barely walk can race in the 100m dash with a smile on there face then nothing should ever stop me from doing hard things. Marti did great she was so motivated to win every time I would ask her "what are we here to do" she would raise her hand and with the biggest smile I have ever seen shout "WIN". She is my hero and role model.
