So there was this woman...

 and she was on an airplane, and she was flying to meet her fiancé seaming high above the largest ocean on planet earth. 

She was seated next to this man she had tried to start conversations, but the only thing she had really heard him say was to order his Bloody Mary. 

She was sitting there and she was reading this really arduous magazine article about a third world country that she couldn’t even pronounce the name of.

 And she was feeling very bored and despondent. And then suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and one of the engines gave out, and they started just falling thirty-thousand feet, and the pilots on the microphone and he’s saying 

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, oh my gosh... I'm sorry” and apologizing. 

And she looks at the man and says “Where are we going?” and he looks at her and he says 

“We’re going to a party. It’s a birthday party. It’s your birthday party. Happy birthday darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much.”

How fragile are the very strong

The greatest gift to receive in life is good people. 

It's not about compromising

Sweeping up the pieces they all form a pile.
A sock from an old game, a photo at a park, a necklace from a rainy day.
The collection seems to gather though I myself cannot.
When did that boy with the glasses disappear?
Did the yellow laced girl go with him?
If not there then where. She is gone.
Another tattered face can only bring a wet smile.
Come back down from there.
Get down don't hurt yourself.




(it will all be okay)

I wish everything would go back to the way things never were.

The truth is you've been hiding from it too

Alright. It's time. Im a senior. I'm a 17-teen something year old who has to decide what to do with her entire life.

Careers.
Applications.
Scholarships.
Deadlines.
College here I come.


And I will love every second on the way to it.




I'm living now.

When I have grown a foot or two

HE. IS. HOME.

My wonderful, cutest ever brother has returned with honor from his two year mission in Canada. Oh how I have waited for this.

As we waited.... and waited... and waited to see him come down the escalators at the airport my body began to tense up. My senses were getting all jumbled and of course when I saw him I started to cry.

This kid, excuse me, man, doesn't even know how much our family has been blessed while he has been gone. We have grown so close and learned so much about the world and each other. So much has happened while he has been gone and it's strange to tell him about everything.

Hearing about Canada is wonderful though. What a great country. I hope his eh and bAg stay for awhile. He is the greatest. Ya know.

LOVE this guy.

To guide us in these latter-days

Dear Elder Holland,

I'm suiting up for the savior's team. I hope all boys listen and do the same.

Once again, wonderful talk.


Love,

He has sent me here

Nothing is better than sitting on a couch with my zebra snuggie in place listening and taking notes on words from the prophet and apostles.

With conference the challenge of coming up with specific questions to listen for seems to always be given. The lord keeps promises, people. In this first session already two very specific questions were directly answered in the exact wording I gave them.
I love this gospel.

"Compared to God men are nothing, yet we are everything to God."- Elder Uchtdorf


I love Conference.
