An Experience That Every Teenage Girl Should Have

Yesterday, I was at my sister Bekah's house, cleaning and getting it ready for them to come home on Friday. I didn't have any music, and silence makes me nervous, so I turned on their wedding video just for some noise. For part of their video, they did a segment where the video guy would ask Andy a question about their love story and then he'd ask Bekah the same question and it was super funny to hear how different they each answered. But the thing that really caught my attention was how happy they both sounded. This was seven years ago, mind you. And now through the years they've found even more happiness through their four beautiful children. So I was thinking about this and how they were able to obtain such happiness. And I realized something. It's because they deserved it. Bekah and Andy have both lived their lives in such a manner that their happiness was inevitable. Their marriage was such a beautiful and joyful thing because they knew that through their dilligence and obedience, that it can last forever. So as I'm sitting in their house listening and having these thoughts, it was a huge boost for me. A way to refocus myself. I know that I want to have everything that Bekah has one day, and to do that I need to live the way she did. Doing the little things and the big things that'll bring true happiness. So like I said in the title of this post, every teenage girl should have the experience of witnessing the love their older siblings have for their spouses. Especially for me, I worship the ground my siblings walk on. Since I was little, I've always wanted to be just like them. And they've all set wonderful examples, worth following.

I'm so grateful for them and for the wonderful people they married. When I get married, I'm gonna have a hard time finding someone as wonderful as Andy, Miranda and Brett. But I know that if I continue to choose the right and do the little things, then I can become the kind of person worthy of Prince Charming.

And that is what I plan on doing.

Realizations

Realization Number One:

I think it was Lindsey Layton, who once said that everybody needs to get the experience of going to the movies alone. Having a magnitude of respect for her I decided to do as she advised. So I went and saw Harry today. All alone. And although I was really disappointed by the movie,the experience was a sucess!

I LIKE seeing movies by myself!

Realization Number Two:

Gossiping is like Chocolate.

Iressistible

and

Positively Sinful.

A Little Piece of Heaven

Last night, I stepped out of the SRC after a satisfying workout, and what was there to meet me??
A beautiful downpour of rain!!!!!
As other people were rushing to get out of it, I took my shoes and socks off and proceeded to stroll back to my dorm.
Singing and walking as slowly as I could I still reached my destination all too soon.
Not wanting to miss out on the majesty that is an Arizona rain storm, I sat myself on a bench and enjoyed the wet goodness for a good 15 minutes.
And in those 15 minutes I was truly able to feel of my Heavenly Father's love for me.
How people can feel rain on their face and not believe that there is a God is beyond my mental capacity!
As I sat there, feeling the rain beat down upon me, I felt an innate calm, a peace that I haven't had in a long time and I truly was able to enjoy
A Little Piece of Heaven.

Turn That Frown Upside Down

I have this friend.

Her name is Sabrina.

(You can visit her blog HERE.)

She is probably the most positive person I have ever met.

Her response to all things terrible in her life is:

"Well it'll make me stronger!"

She's been trying to get me to be more positive lately...

So here's what I'll do:

I'm going to tell you something that I'm unhappy about...

Then I'm gonna flip it and find the good in it!

1. I have a HUGE zit on my forehead........

but two inches under it are my pretty eyes and fabulous eye makeup!

2. I have ALOT of homework tonight.......

but part of it is coloring and I LOVE coloring!!!

3. Today is Monday

but it's the LAST Monday I'll be spending here at ASU!!!

4. Church yesterday went by WAY too fast......

but it was just what I needed!!!!

5. I miss my sisters and Mary...ALOT.....

but because of glorious technology I'm still able to keep in touch with them!!!!!

So there it is everyone,

turn that frown upside down!!!!!
