Fall has quickly slipped out of our grasp again, but luckily right before the snow we got a few good pictures. I love the colors of fall. Although everything is dying and coming to an end, everything is colorful, bright and beautiful. An end and a beginning of something grand.
This year is different. This year I don't mind the cold, because I am looking forward to the winter wonderladn I so often take for granted. Winter = snowmen, tobogganing, dog sledding, snow shoeing, snowball fights, snowforts, hot chocolate, skating, cuddles by the fireplace, skiing, mittens, rosy cheeks and snowflakes in your hair. <3



One of my favorite quotes by one of my favorite authors.

"It is often difficult to admit that someone you love is not perfect, or to consider aspects of a person that are less than admirable."
— Lemony Snicket


There is still much to be done. Let's not lose sight. -Anonymous

 
"Being humble means recognizing that we are not on earth to see how important we can become, but to see how much difference we can make in the lives of others."
-President Gordan B. Hinckley 
 
 
"Tell me that I can't and I will show you that I can."
 
 
"You give me the kind of feeling people write novels about."
 

 "Why don't I have any tattoos? For the same reason you don't put a bumper sticker on a ferrari." -Anonymous


 "By the way, I'm wearing the smile you gave me." <3

Besties? Yes.

Weekly Update


 I love seminary so much. It honestly makes my day so much better. It starts my day with a hymn that brings the spirit and calms my soul. I feel prepared for the day ahead of me and ready to face any challenges that come my way. I have the most amazing teacher who helps me to understand the scriptures so well too! We are studying the New Testament right now and of course I am loving it. There are so many wonderful stories that I never even knew about and now I get to enjoy and feast upon the words and enlighten my mind. I am so grateful to live in a place where I have that opportunity to participate in such wonderful morning classes. :)
Sutton, Amanda and I after Seminary one morning <3


Before the Temple Youth Celebration practice on Tuesday, my dear friend, Amanda and I went and took pictures in a field by her house in the nice autumn colors. Autumn has that nice warm look to it although the coldness of winter is on the verge of springing up on all of us.  Starting from the tips of our toes and fingers first of course. Anyways, I love this girl. Of course she was just as excited as I was about the missionary age change this year at General Conference and of course she is willing to make and bring me a peanut butter and jam sandwich to school for me when I forget my lunch <3
She's a keeper I must say. She's my best friend home dawgs.


I have to admit, although I hate math, I have the best math teacher hahaha.


That's one of my friend's very artistic haha drawing of our math teacher talking about the answer, and the fact that he used "hundy". Funny guy. Actually we learned some actually hilarious actually useful math skills lately. We've been learning about credit cards, mortgages, and interest and such and they were taught with some very memorable and hilarious stories to really portray the concept haha :)


^^^ME IN LIKE EVERY SINGLE MATH CLASS! haha





^So this is my agenda. On spare I've started sitting with some friends I haven't talked to for a while. And it turns out that Mike is hilarious. Oh mann. This is what he wrote in my Agenda.... "make mike a sandwich! and text him" Oh brother. haha and he's a huge Carrie Underwood fan. Asked her to winter formal on twitter... its true. :)





The one wall in my room is finally finished thanks to my friend Anna who had come to visit!

My number I wore during my x-country race! I got 38th!
Okay, so yes I understand that 38th isn't very good. But my goal was to do better than last year- meaning not getting lost. Last year I took a wrong turn and accidentally cheated. yeah. It was SO bad! I still didn't do good although I technically cheated.  I didn't mean to though! To really understand, remember that this was up and down hill in the mountains with lots of trees and there was 3 times less pylons this year than the last! haha anyways, I didn't walk for the 4 km at all and I did it in 22 minutes! And there was snow on the ground! So for me this is a huge YAY! I'm so proud of it, that I kept my number.



Summer Friends

I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to meet all these wonderful girls. They have influenced and changed my life for the better.  That's for sure. Summer has flown by and it seems so long ago since we could all hang out together everyday... I miss that, and I miss them! <3

Journals!

Journals are actually some of the coolest inventions. They are so great to look back on and help us to really grow from our mistakes and what we've done and understand and achieve the best life we can on earth. I wish I could say that I write in my journal every day, or even once a week....or even once a month lately, but I am going to get better. I wish I did write everyday. But what can I say, my life is just so exciting.... I don't have the time! haha
