Go dark?!

So It will be "hair appointment time" in about a month....I'm not sure what to do. I have LOVED what I have done these past two appointments. Blonde with more brown than the usual...

But....

I kinda wanna go dark again.

Problem....Summer is on it's way....should i wait until August?! And how do i get it to STAY this dark?!! It fades so quickly, and just becomes a lighter brown..which is fine, but i like THIS color!!

Help me decide. Also, sidenote. We have to wear hair pieces for our dance tour, and i would have to get a new one if i went dark now, and i kind of don't want to get a new one....so just some things to think about. haha

Let me know your thoughts. :)

Learning to trust.

Ya know...sometimes we have to learn to let go of what we want. And learn to just trust that the Lord will have happen what is supposed to happen. It's crazy how much easier life gets when He helps you. :) I love my life! I know I say that a lot. I know I'm about three steps behind everyone else my age, but i'm going. And i'm going somewhere. That is all that matters. :) I know that life has amazing things in store for me someday...and I just need to be PATIENT! haha Something i struggle with sometimes. But i know, in the end, it will ALL be worth it. :)

It's cold outside, so keep your heart open wide...

...save it for somebody who cares.

OKLAHOMA!!!

Well, I've decided that my life needed a change and well, it needs to be there.....it's been real, ya'll.






PSYCH! haha I would NEVER move there. BUT i went to go see it tonight at UVU and enjoyed every minute! I already said this on facebook..but whenever i get through watching a musical, it A. makes me want to be in one. And B. makes me want my life to be as lovely and perfect as one...HA! like that will happen. A girl can dream, right? :)

Happily Ever After

I bought Jenny Phillips album "We believe: Songs for youth 2011" yesterday. Well..haha I won't lie, i know i'm not really considered "youth" anymore. But, these songs STILL get me through rough times, and bring me up when i'm down. The ENTIRE cd is AMAZING! But this song called "Happily Ever After" was one that stood out to me...TONS! Lyrics hit me when i'm need them most. So, i wanted to share. I guess it was inspired by Elder Uchdorf's talk "Happily Ever After". This is the best video i could find. The kids talking at the beginning is pretty cute!! But part of the song comes towards the end. :)  Also, it would't let me post it, so you'll have to click the link and go to YouTube. :)

(here are the lyrics)

Jenny Philips - "Happily Ever After" Lyrics


Once upon a time
A child was born into this life
Heaven could be seen in her eyes
There was no doubt she was divine
And if you are still you will feel the truth
That the princess in this wondrous story is you

[Chorus:]
It’s your time
It’s your destiny to shine
So arise
Be true to the royal
That’s inside of you
Don’t settle for the story that
The world would have you write
You were born to reach eternal life
Let faith fill every chapter
Let the Savior lead you to
Happily ever after


Sometimes in your life
The world will cast a spell
And try to make your conscience fall asleep
And forget the woman God would have you be
But if you are still you will understand
The noble role you play in his plan

[Bridge:]
When the forests fills with darkness
And wolves seek your soul
Just know
You are simply in the place between
Your once upon a time and your triumph in the end

My trip to St. George!

Ok, randomly after a few things i ended up having 5 days off! So..i thought to myself..I am NOT sitting at home and doing nothing for 5 days! I am going somewhere. Well, my cousin Cassidy and her husband live in St. George. So Thursday night i call up my friend Andrea and ask her, and with life for us both it's been rough, we needed to go somewhere. She got her Saturday shift covered and Cassidy was up for the idea and so it was settled. We were officially off to St. Geezy! We left Saturday morning and headed down south. This all happened to so quick and it so unlike me, but my goodness was it SUCH a great, awesome, fun, random, spontaneous trip!!!

Instead of putting up pictures of our Colorado City trip, here is a video. ;)

Oooooooorrr, not. haha It wouldn't work, so I'm sorry. :P The pictures we took were all taken from inside the car, so they weren't very good, but we had a very educational drive in Colorado City. We called it our "Polygamist Safari".

Day 2: Cass and Cam both had to work so Andie and I went and explored Dixie Rock, went to the temple and went to lunch. :)

Andrea and I at Dixie Rock!

The St. George Temple

Day 3: Me, Cass, and Andie all just chilled in the morning and watched a movie. Then we went to lunch and then went on an old historical St. George walk looking at some of the older buildings there.

After lunch at The Pasta Factory!

Sad to be leaving. :(

Stopping at Beaver!! We just could NOT resist stopping at the famous rocking chair!

After we got home...to a FREEZING 40 degrees. :( Normally 40 is warm for us fellow northern Utahns...but coming from St. George that hit like 72 while we were there(hence, why Andrea is wearing shorts haha), 40 is FREEZING! This is us looking chilly!

Well, we had SO much fun! Thanks Cass and Cam for letting us crash with ya! We will be back soon hopefully! This trip was so awesome!



To begin...2011

To begin i just would like to say that I've lost 15 pounds in the last few months. Not really sure how...stress maybe. ha! Well, i don't really care other than tonight, i tried on some old pants i had hidden away thinking i would never wear them again...and guess what?! they TOTALLY fit!!! Yay! I definately still have a ways to go but, i'm happy that i've made it this far!

Also, i started school last week. I am only taking two classes so i can work more to be able to pay for school. I am taking Typography and Layout Design, and Geology! Pretty much i am hoping i ROCK this semester!! :) Wish me luck. How much longer do i have left you ask...(you know, since i should be finished) Well, it really doesn't matter, right? I'm going, so thats all that counts for now.....right?? haha

Above is the Jordan River Temple. In earlier posts i had written that my goal last year i was going to go so baptisms once a month. That was a goal for Andrea and I. Again, it is my goal THIS year too! Blessed my life SO much more than i ever thought possible when i made it a goal last year. We also decided to try and go to every temple in Utah. We will see if that happens...BUT due to some cercumstances, we DID end up getting to go to the Jordan River temple on Saturday. :) Neither of us had been to it yet. VERY pretty! Inside and the grounds remind me a lot of Provo. Last month i went and did baptisms alone....it was just one of those times where SO much was going on...i needed to go. I went ALONE!! haha Never thought i could do it, but i did. And SO very grateful I was brave, because i really needed that trip.

Also,

I went to my 3 month hair appointment, and my bangs weren't actually supposed to be real bangs, but they got cut a BIT short and they looked funny swept off to the side, so until they grow out a bit i can either wear them back (which i like a lot these days!) or, have bangs. haha It's kinda fun and different for a couple weeks! Just so very unexpected! 

Well, Life is pretty good right now. Nothing to complain about. :) EXCEPT.....the SNOW! And the FREEZING!! I hate it! We recently got our swim collection in at work. It made my whole day! haha I was so excited that summer was coming...and then i realized i still had a few months. Ah well!

Well, i love you all!
