A to Z: HELLLOOOO

Ahh yes today is the letter "H" the one I've been waiting for.
Yesterday I watched the movie The Help for the first time.
It really caused me to wonder what I would've been like 50 years ago.
Would I have been Miss Hilly Holbrook or more like Skeeter Phelen?
I hope that I would be like Skeeter, but it's really hard to say what you would do when you were never raised in that time period.
Next I'm reading The Hunger Games.
I've finally caved.
I put off reading them because I was so disappointed in the twilight books and movies.
Let's face it. Stephanie Myers is not a great Author, Robert Pattinson is not attractive, and Kristen Stewart cannot act. Sorry, but those are the cold hard facts.
I'm only 4 chapters into Hunger Games but I think I'm really going to like it.
And I've only heard good things about the movie, so my fingers are crossed.

On a less superficial level two "H" words I've been thinking a lot about are hope and happiness.
Today's definition of hope is one of uncertainty, like we hope the person recovers. We don't know for sure, it's just a feeling of expectation for something.
When you read about hope in the scriptures it's sure, unwavering, and active.
We have a firm or lively hope.
We have hope that if we trust in God and his promises he'll reward us with blessings. Sure, unwavering, and active hope has been hard for me lately. I find myself wandering in uncertainty hoping that things will work out and I'll be happy. I don't want to hope for happiness. I want to know there will be happiness. I want to act and find that happiness that I know is out there. Which turns back to trust in God and his promises. I have hope in them and know that God keeps his promises if I keep mine.

Lastly, check out my weekly horoscope.
If you only knew everything that was going on in my life right now you'd see how fitting this was.
Oh and just remember "You is Kind, you is Smart, you is Important!"

A To Z: G?

The Whole day I was thinking my letter was H. And I had lots of H words to write about.
Sure I can save it for tomorrow BUT now I don't know what to write about. Hmm...
Maybe games?
I played rook with the Hills last night and well we'll have to have a tie breaker since me and Kaitland killed her parents once and then they barely beat us the next time.
Maybe gum?
I really like the extra desserts "mint chocolate chip ice cream" flavored one.
Speaking of ice cream...Maybe I should just talk about G's dairy and how much I'm going to miss it this week.
Oh hey, look at this. I've got tons of pictures of me going to G's dairy. I can remember every time and how delicious the ice cream was.

This was after a hard day and I really needed a pick me up. G's dairy did the trick
Group date. That night my room mate and I felt like we ate our weight in ice cream. My double scoop waffle cone was bigger then my head!
First day as room mates. Best day ever!
Last day as room mates. Worst day ever.
Grilled cheese and single scoop ice cream. $3, Best deal ever.

Yup I'm convinced that g's dairy is good any time. When you are sad, happy, in love, lonely, hungry, excited, celebrating, hot or cold. It hits the spot day or night.

A To Z: Funny, freaky, Family

DISCLAIMER: If you watch this video this song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
I showed this video to Abe one night and the next morning when I went to his house all his room mates were singing it. It's become their apartment theme song.

Alright aside from freaky funny bromance videos.
Tonight I'm going to go play cards with on of my favorite families- The Hills.
Probably one of the nicest, most sweet families in the world.
Well that's it for f. I hope you all have a fantastic and fun night!
That is if you can get BRRRROOOOMMAANCE, outta your head long enough to enjoy yourself.

He Is Risen

A-Z: EASTER

I love how perfectly this alphabet thing is working out.
I started on the right day.
Today is Easter Sunday.
I'm so grateful for the Saviors sacrifice on the cross for me.
I know that he was resurrected and lives today.
I know that the Savior will one day come again and that we can be resurrected like Him and live again with Him in Heaven.

I have two movies to share.
I'm sure many of you have seen these floating around Facebook, but here they are again.



And I don't really know how to share 2 movies in one blog post so you'll just have to click here to see the other one. HAPPY EASTER

A to Z: Driving

I'm not the biggest fan of driving.
Road trips with friends are awesome because guarantee something insane will happen.
But road trips to come back home aren't always the most fun.
You aren't going some place exciting and new.
You've driven that road so many times you could almost do it with your eyes closed.
You know that once you get home you have to unpack the car instead of running around a hotel/condo checking out everything.
It's just driving home.
But I am a big fan of being home.
Even if my parents did leave this week to go to Maryland so I won't even see them.
Another great thing is that driving thru Montana means country music the whole trip.

I don't even mind that I heard the same country songs 10 times.
Also I'm a big fan of driving with my sister.
She fills my camera with lots of dazzling pictures.

There is plenty more where this came from but I thought I'd save her some embarrassment.
Love my sister.
