Thanksgiving

So I know I haven't posted anything in SO long! (like usual) but a couple weeks ago me and my family watched these videos and I was blown away!! No one can ever capture all the beauty on this planet but this is pretty close. I am just amazed at all that my Heavenly Father has given me. He made all of this for ME! and when the earth was being created he called each of His creations "good" when they were done but He called us "great." I hope we never forget that we are even greater than this incredible planet we live on. We are greater than the whole universe!! and He knows each one of us even though we are just one tiny person in the midst of all of His creations. Last week someone in my seminary class gave a devotional that goes perfectly with this on Elder Uchtdorf's talk "You Matter to Him." He said that "Brothers and sisters, the most powerful Being in the universe is the Father of your spirit. He knows you. He loves you with a perfect love" and "God sees you not only as a mortal being on a small planet who lives for a brief season—He sees you as His child. He sees you as the being you are capable and designed to become. He wants you to know that you matter to Him." 

Senior year!

I know I haven't posted in a long time but life has been kinda crazy!! I am now a senior at Mesa High and i am loving it so far! i have 7 classes which kinda stinks but I love all of them! oh and on the first day of school the yearbook teacher asked me to be the editor and cheif of this years yearbook! it has been so much fun but is WAY harder than I was expecting especially with Mrs. LaBaron gone for surgery. It's a ton of work and I really don't want to mess this up but im trying to get more involed in school things like the yearbook and the homecoming float. I also have an amazing group of friends this year! I have had so much fun going out to lunch almost every day and meeting people and going to football games and things like that! so far it has been an amazing year and I just hope that the rest of the year is just as fun if not funner! :)

My Turn on Earth

I haven't posted in such a long time! i have been so busy with girls camp and cleaning and getting ready for school! (i can't believe ill be starting my senior year in two weeks!!!) so i had girls camp last week and i was a 6th level, or YCL 2. which ment that we got  to design the t-shirts, teach certification, help with classes, make up and teach a dance, start flash mobs and a ton more. This year our camp director, Sister Duffin, wanted us to put on the play "My Turn on Earth." as we started to practice it every wednesday after mutual we realized how hard it would be and how much time it would take up and almost didn't do it. But Sister Duffin continued to push us and we ended up doing one scene every night at girls camp. The play is about a little girl named Barbra who starts in the premortal life and comes down to earth and learns about her body but is taken home early as a young mother. The first couple of nights were super fun with lots of crazy costumes, fun dances, musical numbers, and lots of glitter!! ha ha but on the last night there is a beautiful dance and musical number about how she wasn't ready to go home yet. in the end i had to be the one to take away her new born baby as she returns back home, it was amazing how a fun and silly play turned into being so spiritual and so real. Sister Duffins sister-in-law passed away a couple days into camp, she was a young mother of 4 little kids. we all worked so hard to do our best for their family and it became such a testimony builder to all of the girls there. i wish i could describe it better, this doesn't even begin to do it justice but it was something that none of us with ever forget! 

The Joys of a Clean Bathroom

Yesterday my moms friend came down from Utah and was staying in my room. So of course i waited until the last minute to start cleaning my bedroom and bathroom. My room was already fairly clean so i just picked it up and it was fine. but our bathroom is kinda the joke when people come over. It is beyond disgusting and people can never even use it! there are mountains of clothes piled in the corner, a desk chair, rabbit size balls of hair, makeup, straightners, curling irons, and who knows what else!! so i decided to tackle it. i blasted Taylor Swift from my bedroom and got to work. and you will never believe this! i had the time of my life!! i was just dancing around the bathroom and singing and being crazy! i have actually grown to love cleaning! it really helps clear your mind and it makes you feel so good!! at one point i was scrubbing the shower and i was soaking wet and covered in cleaner (which kinda burned) and i was dancing and totally slipped and fell on my butt! i could not stop laughing! it was just so much fun to be gross and crazy and get something done! its the best feeling in the world to hear that my sisters college friends were kneeling in the bathtub and kissing the floors! ha ha i cant help but smile everytime i see it! yes a clean toilet makes me smile! its so weird but it was just so much fun! i highly reccomend it!
