BIRTHDAY BUSINESS!

As of today around noon, i am oficially 18 years of age!
I always thought id feel diffrent. more grown up or something. But nope!
Well today was definatley not the perfect birthday but it wasnt bad either. Woke up to dozens of text messages and missed calls (best way to start a day... just sayin) then off to my day i went. 9:30am i started my day after school work and institute i am now home. I enjoyed a long talk with my momma (i miss her so much!) and a hour skype date with my brothers(who are in utah)
I am now celebrating the rest of my night with "Tula" shes about to have a big fat greek wedding.

Julie Beck

Today i had the oppertunity to hear from Mrs. Julie Beck. It was so powerful! I went to the talk with a question and came back with a billion answers. Im so spiritually high, i love this feeling. Ive been ignighted with a fire tonight to try and always fill the spirit as strong.
One message she shared that i will never forget.....
I may not be the prettiest, the smartest, the funniest, the strongest, or the richest. BUT i am a dsughter of god, and thats good enough. We dont always have to be the best at everything, life is not a compition its not about who has what. If it were compeating there would only be one winner ( cause thats how compitions work) and the rest would be losers. But were not losers cause were children god.

Santa Barbara

Fire pit at our hotel.. I spent all of my nights here. =)

Veiw from the warf

Oh these beautiful palm trees <3







Last weekend Karen and i went to Santa Barbara.
I got the better end of the vacation though. As she was in class allday renuing her nursing course i was shopping, going to the beach and swimming in the hotel pool. It was a really good trip and very relaxing.

The veiw keeps me going

Oh goodness! Theres so much i can complain about; but with a negative attitude i wont receive blessings. Last week me and a few friends decided to go and watch the sun set at asilomar beach. This day was perfect it was what i really needed after a long week of work and school. It was so peaceful to hear the waves and to just enjoy one of gods creations.

Blessed!

This is Jenny. She is sooo sweet. She has serious alzheimers but gets around great.

Jenny is one of the ladys i feed. She loves to eat; best appitite ive ever seen. (shes also a member of the church)

This is Pricilla aka Cilla. Oh boy, this lady is a catch. Wouldnt know it but shes 100!

Yup a whole century "young". She is actually the resident that has most of her mind left.

haha she can be cold at times but heck shes 100 i probly would be too!

shes quit the cookie monster, "do you suppose there is a cookie of some sort lying around?"


One of our residents passed away last week. It was suprising but not. She had been declining, but at the end the decline reached a steep drop. Although it was sad it was releiving; after weeks of suffering she is now with our heavenly father.

Her two sons coming in showed such strong emotions of sorrow i could feel it.

The hurt in there eyes sadened me. I just wanted to tell them it would be ok and that she was with god and they could see her again.Its like more and more lately ive been seeing things and being so greatul for the gospel in my life.

I feel as though i have taken advantage of knowing so much. I feel like the world is missing so much! I have to say im blessed to have the church in my life and im greatful for eternal families and i cant wait to have my own one day =)

Aren't mondays suppose to suck??

I have been in college for one week and ive already beat my highest stress level.
Lucky i got everything taken care of just in time to be able to enjoy my second week.
Im enrolled in all the classes i wanted, and paid for them, ordered all by books and got a camera for my photography class. I feel today has been a super productive. Im very much enjoying this monday. This may be another record broken.
