And Lyssa Was Her Name-O

So at night while I'm trying to fall asleep, I make up stories. Most of which are about my future life with Prince Charming. (Sue me, I'm a 17 year old girl!) So I'm going through this awesome story in my mind but I keep hitting a stumbling block...HE HAS NO NAME!!! So I'm trying to come up with a good name but trip and fall. Few names sound good with Natalie!!! Then I realized it needed to be 3 syllables. So I start brainstorming those...HELLO there are none!!!!

So it's the next day, I'm in Cantori A-Hour and voice my concern. Five hours later...we're in honor choir and Alyssa gives me a list of 3 syllable names and they were just too good to not post.

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.

Miscellaneous Madness

Yes, yesterday I sounded like a Negative Nelly.

Therefore, we have alot of great family in town AND...
Summer is just around the corner!

Never mind

the fact that I have two finals tomorrow that I am extremely nervous about.

Never mind

the fact that I'm blogging instead of studying.

Never mind

the fact that I'm going to miss my sister VERY VERY much and will probably ball me eyes out all day tomorrow.

Fact:

Kris Allen is the foxiest thing since George Clooney.

Fact:

Adam Lambert scares me.

Fact:

I RatalieNose officially suffer from this condition:

Obsessive Blogging Disorder

Sad.

But true.

Well not really sad....

I personally love it!!!

Letter:

Dear Two People Who Selected the Last Option On My Poll,

If I don't know you:

I'm sorry that that is your opinion of me....

if there's something I can do to change it, let me know!

If I do know you and you're joking:

Haha you're so funny.

If I know you and you're serious:

SAD DAY!!!!

Love,

To My Husband

Dear Prince Charming,

I've waited a long time to find to you. You've been on my mind for what seems like forever. I think about you constantly, what kind of man you are, how our life together will be. And you know what? It makes me so happy! Because I just know that you're everything I'll ever want. I can't wait to start our forever together.

So I feel like I need to thank you. Thank you for keeping yourself clean and waiting for me. I've always dreams of being taken to the Temple by a worthy priesthood holder, and now, here you are! Also, thanks for being willing to put up with me for Eternity. I know it won't be easy. I can be a difficult person sometimes but as time goes on, things will get easier, I'm sure of it.

Now there are some things I should warn you about. First of all, I'm a disorganized pack rat. I'll do everything in my power to make our house one of order, but I'm not making any promises. Also, when I get really excited about things, I get a tad obsessive. So don't be worried if I start freaking out about something little, it will pass. Thirdly, you should know that I have quite a temper that is really easy to flare. My death stares have been known to kill. (Pun intended.) I'll do my best to not get mad at you but again, no promises. Well there are many more things I should warn you about, but I think I'll let you discover those one your own.

Charming, I know our marriage won't be perfect. Whose is? We're not always going to agree. We'll probably fight once in awhile, maybe more than that. But we'll work through the hard times, and our relationship will get that much stronger. No matter what happens, I promise that I will always love you. I promise to be a good mother to our children, (I really want a big family!) I promise to cook for you, do your laundry and keep your house as functional as possible. (Notice how the word "Clean" is not mentioned.)

If it's just the two of us, I don't know how long our love will last. But, lucky for us, we have someone else on our side. If we always rely on the Lord, if we do what our leaders ask and if we love the Lord more than ourselves, we should be just fine. He will help our love to grow and flourish and I know that we'll be very happy.

I love you with all my heart,

Natalie Rose

(Your Princess)
