Sometimes

You need to Facebook detox your life. I haven’t logged on in a week and a half, and I don’t plan on getting on until next Friday night. So there. I’m very proud of myself. Also, It’s finals…so there’s no time to be wasted.

59 Days!!!

Two amazing songs

By two amazing artists that I love. Who also happen to love each other. Funny how that works.

Who Says by Selena Gomez

That Should Be Me by Justin Bieber ft. Rascal Flatts

The life of me

61 Days until the love of my life hits the big screen again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have I mentioned that Justin Bieber is following me on twitter?

We love making brownies at midnight sometimes. I’m really going to miss Garrett. Good thing a mission is only two years. . .

 

 

 

 

 

 

We love tinychat!

Sometimes…Darren gets a hold of my camera…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monopoly on Garrett’s iPad and Koolaid makes for a wonderful Sunday.

Nails by Cassidy. He’s constantly booked. I’m lucky I have an “in”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You know how on Christmas people get Turtle Doves? Well, Darren loves turtles. So me and Tiffy were thinking one day…why don’t me, Tiffy, Garrett and Darren have Turtle Loves?! So we went to the dollar store and bought some turtles! We each have one, and now no matter where we go in the world; Romania, Paris, Florida, (Unknown mission call location), we will always be together, because we have our Turtle Loves. We will be friends forever, because we love each other, and we get each other, and we’re always there for each other. Saying goodbye to them (temporarily) will be hard, but, we have our turtle loves to always remind us that we’re friends. Man, I sure do love college.

This week,

Thought it has been stressful, has been fun. I’ve learned quite a bit this week actually: Sometimes, the Lord is going to prompt you to do something that you don’t necessarily want to do. But ,no matter how much you don’t want to do that thing, He needs you to do it. If you are righteous enough to be the hands of the Lord, you can’t deny what you know is right. And sometimes, even though you know that you did the right thing…people might not be happy with that decision, they might even hate you for it. But never doubt yourself, for you know that the Lord prompted you do to His work on this earth, have faith, and know you did what He needed you to do. Even if things don’t turn out the way you thought they would, trust in Him, he knows the reason for all things. You may never see the effect you had, but He has a plan, and you may have helped push things along. Be at peace.

Sometimes your friends think it’s funny to scare you…

 

And film it for that matter. . .

Reminiscing. . .

 

Things were so simple then. . .but the Lord will only ever give you trials he knows you can handle with Him by your side.

Trust the Lord always.

Math…

I don’t get it.

The hand of the Lord…

is in all things.

Cocoa Bean

The best cupcake I have ever had.

Cocoa Bean’s Ultimate Brownie cupcake. I literally could not finish the entire thing, which is a rarity for me. Brownie, vanilla cake, marshmallows, chocolate frosting and gold sprinkles.

Well I made it through the week.

However I forgot to tell you about Justin Bieber’s birthday party on Tuesday!

Well for starters I made a “Happy 17th Birthday Justin Bieber” video and posted it on Youtube. It’s a little embarrassing, but I just might post it on here too. Then the girls (left to right: Chelsey England, Me, Katherine Fleming (Taff), and Tiffany Barton.)

Then, we went out for cupcakes at Cocoa Bean! They are seriously the best cupcakes I have ever had in my life! When I got home, someone (clearly a boy) had doorbell ditched a plate of “Happy 17th Birthday Justin Bieber” brownies! I love my life.

Then Tiff&Taff had a JB jam session, After which Darren did, I mean helped me with my math project! It was definitely a good Justin Bieber’s birthday!

Let it happen:

Tiff&Taff, Baby/Eenie Meanie JB mash up:

Story time: We were about to jam out to JB when I get a tweet from Ryan Buell that says “Live video chat in 5 minutes!” So. . .I FREAKED out! We all screamed, logged onto twitter and proceeded to the video chat, where you could see Ryan and he could see questions that people were typing into the “chat ” section of the web page. I start typing my fingers off!  I ask him things like, “When is your next book going to come out?!” or “Can you shake a ghost’s hand?!” The most nerve-wracking part is watching him read the questions and then the anticipation to see if  he actually reads YOUR question and answers it! So he pauses. ..starts reading questions. . .and then says, “Can you shake a ghost’s hand?. . .”  We scream, naturally. He answers the question and then we keep typing questions.

Finally Taff is like, “Ask him if  he likes Justin Bieber!”  So I type, ”Moment of truth, how do you feel about Justin Bieber?” He’s reading, he’s reading. . .”Ahh, I don’t exactly have Bieber Fever, but I mean his songs are fun and catchy. I do like that 4G commercial with Ozzy Osbourne though! “What’s a Bieber?” Haha but I would be concerned if an almost 30 year old had the fever.” Yes, I got Ryan Buell to talk about Justin Bieber, amazing.

Overall, OBVIOUSLY an amazing week!

Here’s the thing:

Shelby Ane McKellar

You wouldn’t think it was possible, but she makes my day. . .everyday! She is such a good friend and she always knows how to cheer me up. She cares. She inspires me.

What I learned in Geology today:

"There IS in fact a limited supply of Helium, we COULD run out, and then we could find ourselves in a situation in which birthday parties would become much less fun."

 - Bro. Gahn.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it…

But I have the best friends in the world. I am so blessed to be where I am today. I know that this is where I am supposed to be and that the Lord has put me here for a reason. I love my life and am so grateful for the people in it. Tonight: Darren’s  basketball game, Ice-cream and sherbet, Youtube videos. We’re trying to think of a funny video to make. (I have some videos from tonight, can’t decide if I am going to post them. . .stay tuned.) I showed Garrett some of mine and Kamryn’s videos, he loved them. I will miss him when he goes on his mission, but I’m so happy that he made the decision to go. I wrote Logan a letter, he  got it on Sunday, so I am anxiously awaiting a reply. . .hopefully I get one. He is my first missionary friend! And soon, I’ll have two more!

I am blessed.

BYU-Idaho…it just rocks.

I’m in college and we still have party days. I show up to math and there are cake, cookies and brownies. Life is good. Darren’s team won their game last night so they have another one tonight! I’m so proud of them! Go Swoosh!

Darren’s Mega Babe Jam:

 

 

I love my life

I can honestly tell you that I have the greatest friends in the world.
