Springity Feverish.

FRIDAY.
Was so much fun!!!
The sun was out ALL DAY and when I got into my car after school, IT WAS HOT!
LIKE IT IS IN THE SUMMER!

bUT.
I got to school on friday, and I was walking down the hall with my friend alexis when I got the strange idea to look at my feet.
AND THIS is what I saw...



YEAH!! I felt incredibly STUPID!
So I told everyone that I just couldn't decide which pair to wear.


THE HEAT WAS UNBEARABLE! I LOVED IT!

So me and my friend Roni went tanning...at least that had been the plan. But they weren't open until like a half an hour later, so we walked to the park while we waited :]

I SENT MY FRIEND ALL THESE CRAZY PICTURES!!
These are just a couple of them. The rest I had to delete so I could have room for more pictures to send hahaha.




I really was excited. It was soo nice.

THEN me and my brother went to piano on saturday, on account o' the fact that we missed it on wednesday.


So we were going to go feed the ducks...
and I just happened to park in the parking lot by the temple...

SO WE WENT TO THE VISITORS CENTER!

it was absolutely amazing beyond all reasoning and sense.
If you haven't been there yet, please go. They recently remodeled it, and it's peaceful and you feel the spirit so strongly when you're there. They have a model of the Christus, and it plays the same message that the one in salt lake does.
Go!

PICTUUREEEE of the temple.



YES.

Driving Abilities :D

You don't need a license to drive a sandwich,
but you do need one to drive a purple minivan!

Hahahaha I got my license today.
Ha! yes! I'm driving to Brianna's tomorrow. It was super funny cause I ran into the DMV and the lady goes "Can I help you?" I just looked at her with a great big grin on my face and went "I'm here to get my license!!!"
I look like a dork in my picture, with a great big SMILE!!
AHH happiness.

uhh...yeah.

Inspiration much?

So I heard this song last Sunday as I was getting ready for church. It almost made me burst into tears for various reasons, one of them being that this song just screams what I try to live by every day. Here they are.

Beautiful to Him

So much noise, So much peace destroyed
I can hardly hear the voice
Leading me through the void
Just so much noise…

The worlds little lies, Destruction in disguise
Opportunities to compromise, To make me beautiful in their eyes.
But I’m not going to buy the worlds little lies…

Cause I define myself
And find my beauty in the light He gives,
I’m refined by his divine intentions every day I live.
It doesn’t matter what the world believes,
Or what they say that beauty means,
It comes from within.
I want to be beautiful to Him.

He’s given me His trust
So I’ll be strong enough to run from a dangerous touch
I don’t need that kind of “love.”
I don’t need that crutch; He’s given me His trust.

I know how to shine, my life’s not really mine.
It’s not about a worldly climb,
It’s all about His design
So in His eyes, I want to shine.

I want to live to have his peace,
And feel the holiness he sees
It comes from within…
I want to be beautiful to Him.


Ahh. I love it! I printed out a copy of it to hang on my bathroom wall, and odds are I'll be reading it every day. (Once I find a frame for it...)
I am going to miss Brother Browning's seminary class muches. He's an awesome teacher. I think being in his class really helped me out this trimester, cause he doesn't just skim over the lessons. He actually goes deep into them. It must also help that we were studying the life of Christ this trimester.
hmm. well I just thought I should share that. You never know who needs it.
