Patience.

Today I left church feeling like all the talks and lessons were written for me.  I love leaving church feeling like that, which I have a lot lately. I've been strugggglin okay?! I'm fineeee.. but really I'm so thankful for the guidance of the prophets on the earth today and for the love our Savior has for each and every one of us. I read this quote today and it is exactly what I needed to hear in my life right now because even though I don't know why things are going the way they are in my life right now I'm going to put my trust in the Lord and know he has a plan for me. Happy Sunday everyone!

"Patience- the ability to put our desires on hold for a time- is a precious and rare virtue.  We want what we want, and we want it now.  Therefore, the very idea of patience may seem unpleasant and, at times, bitter.  "Nevertheless, without patience, we cannot please God; we cannot become perfect.  Indeed, patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace." 

-Dieter F. Uchtdorf.

go girl, its yo birthday...

..This song will always remind my of Haleighs birthday, every. single. year. 

Her birthdays always are the best I feel like and she always deserves the best, she's amazing.

This year us girls went to joes farm grill for lunch which turned into a photoshoot (which we were joking as we're modeling if you can't tell, senior pictures? yah?) also us all laughing a ton, you know being the funny girls we are. (wow im annoying) but really it was the hardest I've laughed in awhile. 

Then went shopping for a little and then went to joes bbq for dinner, what can we say Haleigh loves her some joes... maybe she'll marry a joe?...

Here are the reasons she's my bestest friend, we laugh hardest together, we even sometimes pretend we would be lesbian together thats our kindof love but we're kidding... most of the time.  We are just simple summer girls together (I'm even "I'm just a summer girl" while blogging about this).. Haleigh has always been there for me to lift me up and give me advice. She makes me laugh when I'm down and she truly cares about everyone and is selfless.  She has a strong testimony and sets an example for all around her.  We both have good food taste (very important.)  She is gorgeous on the inside and out. 

I love you Haleigh. And I guess I'm the guy in the relationship since I'm older.. I'll just be the awkward short boyfriend and you're the tall girlfriend...womp.

Happy Mother's Day to Vicki!!

I couldn't ask for a more caring, selfless, stylish, patient, hard working, strong, beautiful, crafty mother :)

I love you mom thank you for always putting up with me and my indecisiveness even if it usually is you making fun of me for it, you make me laugh especially when you're not trying to. 

mom and me posing with turkey..

I love you mom, thank you for all you do.

Food. Makes. Us. Happy.

Brittney and I are obsessed with eating out.

 (probably have gone out over 20 times in the past two weeks... SOO wish I was joking, but I'm not and that's going to change don't worry. Mostly because we have no more money but at least i've decided to put it to a halt right?!)

We just have too much fun when we do though, here's us at Joe's which is always tasty.

(sorry if these pictures make you hungry.)

easter.

Easter is one of my favorite holidays, I love the easter pageant I got to attend three times and the spirit I felt every single time. I love the weather around easter time, it's perfect outside. I love dyeing easter eggs with my family and having someone always spill the dye on someone else. I love our family annual easter hunts (who cares if were all in our twenties?!) I love eating a ginormous dinner with all my moms side at my grandparents house. I love the true meaning of easter and how christ suffered for our sins and we could all be saved and truly happy. 

ps scarlett is starting to love me, its an easter miracle!??

allycat.

I only titled this allycat to try to give Ali an original nickname but that's not even how you spell her name so this is awk, yeah i say it, awk.. awk awk awk (just for you hali!) wow im annoying. and kidding. but Ali and Dayton are getting married and IM THE MOST EXCITED!! OUT OF EVERYONE, EVEN HALEIGH.  I have been there with them through the whole thing and I can honestly say I want a love like theirs, (whoa..) but really they just get each other and are always laughing and you can just see the love in their eyes.  They have always tried to help me through my dating and helping me find guys.. I swear I don't know how to date but this post isn't about me, back to them.. Ali just moved to Idaho and I hate it. I think it'll bring us closer though (yeah were in a relationship as well..) but she is one of my best friends and she always has advice to help me better myself, motivates me in so many ways, from staying healthy to keeping up on my scriptures and we just always are laughing together and being awkward because we don't know how to communicate with others most of the time.  Us girls (including Al) thought Ali'd be the last to get married for sure since she's the most independent and has a future and stuff but I have a feeling our order we had in mind is gonna be backwards... which is totally fine!!... but I know she is ready and this is just how things are meant to be because I've never seen her so happy in her life, it just makes me so happy for her! So yeah anyways I'm just very thankful for Ali and our friendship we have grown since high school, we've both changed so much and I think we both helped each other a lot.  I love you Ali you deserve the best and that's what you're getting, congratulations!! (target lady voice) :) 

see! look at how happy. ^

awh the happy couple i love.

I guess some people find hair school boring.

Every day at school I wonder is Brittney ever really here??

Luckily I have a few more friends at hair school or else I might be a tad bit lonely...

(don't be fooled that this is all in one day, her white jacket is just her fave)

Hopefully you all found joy in her snoozing pictures, as I do. they never get old... to me.
