So I am pretty sure I have the coolest friends on the planet. Joy Seegmiller, a friend from college, invited me to go to Disneyland with her and some friends for FREE!! Who was I to say no? So the four of us piled into a car Friday afternoon, drove to California, and partied in Disneyland all day Saturday. We had an absolute blast! Even though they were older than me by at least four years (Tristan by ten!) we all had a great time, made some fond memories, and now have some epic inside jokes. I'm so grateful that Joy invited me, it was definitely a trip I needed. And we saw shows, and rode rides I had never been on before. 
Huzzah! The group goes as follows: Tristan, Jens, Joy and Me! It was fun too because both the boys had been to Disneyland a ton, so we were able to navigate the park with ease and get on all the good rides really quickly. Definitely a plus. I am so blessed to have such great friends with such wonderful personalities!
LIFE IS SO GOOD!!!!! No complaints, no worries, Hakuna Matata. Because really, no matter how bad it may seem, it's really not that bad....LIFE IS SO GOOD!!!!!! So lets smile and laugh and remember what a bunch of spoiled rotten kids we are. Whoo Hoo!!!
I'm feeling sappy today....maybe because I just got done watching Thumbalina (which has not lost its childhood charm, even though it's much cheesier now than it was when I was seven) and am now admiring the sunset. I really love beautiful things. Scratch that, I really love naturally beautiful things. Like my mom without makeup on, and rainbows, or a sincere smile, and newborn kittens. They are just so...beautiful. The kind of beauty that makes your heart ache, and a smile appear on your face, and a chuckle or sigh of nostalgia escape your lips. Those little moments remind me wh
y life is so precious and how for most of it I am wasting my time! I should get out more and enjoy it! I can just imagine God shaking his head at me and saying "Look at this beautiful Earth I made for you! Why are you not exploring it, discovering it, memorizing it?"
Well I've found a new goal, and I'm determined to see it through. I'm gonna go exploring and see as many of God's wonders as I can. It's a journey I think I am going to enjoy thoroughly.
More fun with my LDSSA pals! We had a leadership training day and thought, while we were at it, we might as well go repelling! So we gathered our gear, drove down to St. George, ate at In N' Out Burger, went up to the Dixie Rock and went repelling! It was my first time ever, and I had an absolute blast. It was a little...nerve wracking at first, but everyone was very supportive, and the day was beautiful so in the end it was nothing but a grand adventure. I have so much fun with those in my calling, I am very grateful for their friendship and amazing personalities. We were on a rock edge that over looked St. George and had an excellent view of the Temple. Such a rewarding sight once you completed your repel. I thank God everyday for the wonderful experiences he gives me, and hope that I learn as much as 
I can from them. Cheers!
The more time I spend away from my family the more I realize just how important they really are. I've always loved my family, appreciated them, strived to prepare for my own someday; yet never have a I realized what a blessing they are to me until I listen to peers talk to me of their broken homes. Broken marriages, broken hearts, broken dreams. They've given up hope that a happy family can even exist anymore. And I tell them they can....and do! My family is a shining example of that and I am proud to stand and say that I am a Hawks. Families are the most important unit on the Earth today, our Prophet has told us so, and I know that he speaks the truth. I love my parents, and my adorable younger siblings. I hope and pray that someday I have a family as precious as them.
