Thinking...

I've been asked before, well why does it seem like Mormons favor the book of Mormon so much if its just as important as the Bible?  And I said, well to me, I think that although I love the bible so much, I love the fact that the Book of Mormon helped my testimony to personally grow because although I love the bible, if I read it and pray about it and know that it is true, there is still like a thousand churches it seems that also believes in the bible. But then I read the book of Mormon and I pray and have found and still find it to be true and so I know that there is one church that believes in the Book of Mormon, the LDS church.  It is important to me because of its role in my conversion but not because I specifically love it more than the bible. I don't know, that's just how I think of it sometimes. Why do you love the Bible? Why do you love the Book of Mormon?

"It is not just that the Book of Mormon teaches us truth, though it indeed does that.  It is not just that the Book of Mormon bears testimony of Christ, though it indeed does that, too.  But there is something more.  There is a power in the book, which will begin to flow into your lives the moment you begin a serious study of the book.  You will find greater power to resist temptation.  You will find the power to avoid deception.  You will find power to stay on the straight and narrow path.  The scriptures are called the 'words of life' (D&C 84:85) and  no more is that more true than it is in the Book of Mormon.  When you begin to hunger and thirst after those words, you will find life in greater and greater abundance."

Unforunately, I'm afraid he still loves her.

Lucky me, fiddle-dee-dee.

"And I hope she'll be a fool - that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool."

I will admit that I am awfully bad at explaining myself, especially since I hardly know what's going on with myself most of the time but I will attempt to explain this whole situation a tad more.  I went on a date tonight. It was actually really good, dinner, The Great Gatsby movie ( which I've been looking forward to for so long! Remember my book review? haha) and even some ridiculous 'gaming' attempts at COD and Assasin's Creed by me.  It was fun.  Yet a few times, still this other girl was brought up, the one I know he was in love with for so long.  This girl that he still talks to each week in attempt to keep up that relationship that they had. I know they never dated, but man that boy knows how to make me jealous.  I didn't even think I cared that much! Well, it just made me think of the 'beautiful fool' reference.  I wish sometimes that I was just a beautiful fool.  But nope, have to be the average joe, yet I am thrilled about not being a fool! ;) haha. Well it's not the end of the world though, because I am definitely looking for someone that I will fall in love with.  I miss that feeling. I'm picky but sometimes its hard when it takes you years to get over some people! Like fiddle dee dee! - Ever since I noticed Scarlett O'Hara saying that, I feel like its going to become a popular expression!
Anyways. That's my attempt.

Perfect

Perfect in this moment.

Wake me Up by Ed Sheeran.

I should ink my skin with your name
And take my passport out again
And just replace it
See I could do without a tan
On my left hand,
Where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
And I should run you a hot bath
And fill it up with bubbles

'Cause maybe you're loveable
And maybe you're my snowflake
And your eyes turn from green to gray
In the winter I'll hold you in a cold place
And you should never cut your hair
'Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder

And you will never know
Just how beautiful you are to me
But maybe I'm just in love
When you wake me up

And would you ever feel guilty if you did the same to me?
Could you make me a cup of tea to open my eyes in the right way?
And I know you love Shrek
‘Cause we've watched it 12 times
But maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale too
And if your DVD breaks today
You should've got a VCR
Because I've never owned a Blue ray, true say

And now I always been shit at computer games
And your brother always beats me
And if I lost, I’d go across and chuck all the controllers at the TV
And then you’d laugh at me
And be asking me
If I'm gonna be home next week
And then you'd lie with me 'til I fall asleep
And flutter eye lash on my cheek between the sheets

And you will never know
Just how beautiful you are to me
But maybe I'm just in love
When you wake me up

And I think you hate the smell of smoke
You always try to get me to stop
But you drink as much as me
And I get drunk a lot
So I'll take you to the beach
And walk along the sand
And I'll make you a heart pendant
With a pebble held in my hand
And I'll carve it like a necklace
So the heart falls where your chest is
And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach
And it falls just where it needs to be
And rests peacefully
So you just need to breathe
To feel my heart against yours now, against yours now

‘Cause maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
Or maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
Maybe I fell in love when you woke me up

Track and Field

So the best news is that on May 14th was my divisional Track and Field meet. Even though I didn't make it to zones and only got fouth, I beat my personal best. I ran the 1500 m and finished with a time of 6:42.  The day before I ran the 1500 m twice and timed it to be 8:17. I knew I was 3 minutes slow of being any kind of competition.  My amazing success coach from our school who was on the track and field team told me that I needed to make a goal time and put that time in my head and I would get it.  I decided that although it was crazy I would increase my time by almost 2 minutes.  I decided that I would take only 2 minutes per lap with 30 seconds on my last 3/4 lap taking a total time of 6:30.  So I only was off my target by 12 seconds and I increased my time by almost 2 minutes in one day. That's pretty great if you ask me. woot woot! I love exercise. I just wish I had more time to do it! Also, I'm still working towards the 5 km Colour Me Rad run in Calgary in June.  I have a long way to go!

My new favorite Missionary!

This guy right here.

He has been a really good friend for a long time and I've known him since I was 7 and now he's going on a mission.  I'm so proud of him for just being a good kid, and also choosing to leave everything and everyone behind while he serves the Lord for two years in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. So cool.

So yeah. I'm really proud of this guy. And I'm going to miss his jokes and ability to crack me up so often.

Little House by Amanda Seyfried

Have you ever had a song addiction? This has been mine lately.

I love this place
But it's haunted without you
My tired heart
Is beating so slow

Our hearts sing less than
We wanted, we wanted
Our hearts sing 'cause
We do not know, we do not know

To light the night, to help us grow
To help us grow
It is not said, I always know

You can catch me
Don't you run, don't you run
If you live another day
In this happy little house
The fire's here to stay

To light the night, to help us grow
To help us grow
It is not said, I always know

Please don't make a fuss, it won't go away
The wonder of it all
The wonder that I made
I am here to stay

I am here to stay
Stay

Oh those little things. May 17, 2013

Darling, you make me love country music more than i already do.

It is the days like today, the blue sky, sun shining, country perfect days that make me love summer.  

Oh and I found this tumblr blog which is just fantastic. I suggest y'all check it out.

All of the photos are from this blog, and my thoughts accompany some of them too!

Love the Peter Pan Collar, Hair Colour, and hat!

Paris & Ryan Gosling? <33

I love old movies so much. Movies to me, just don't have an expiry date. They are treasured classics with many lessons to learn, and laughs and smiles to bring. Casablanca ^^

Only if he'll let me ;)

This is actually a pet peeve of mine. I don't think I really even have any other pet peeves but when people pretend to be dumb for attention, that's when I honestly get so frustrated.  That is not a way to get respect from me, when I know you're not dumb, yet there you are making a fool of yourself, I honestly don't even understand.  I've seen boys and girls do it. Just why.

Okay So that's it. Because there is too much goodness on this tumblr blog. So really I might just end up making this post wayyy too long if I posted everything I really like!
