Rekindling my Infatuation
Yes.. Two posts in one day. I have a lot to say, and this is definitely blog-worthy.
One more week till:
- I have something to look forward to at least twice a week.
-my infatuation with a certain someone will start to rekindle again.. :)
-I will be hanging out at my grandparents' house all the time. (hope they don't mind.. )
-I can lose my voice frequently
-I can cheer on my favorite team
-My life is back, basically
-I get anxious every time I take little trips to Salt Lake City
-THE UTAH JAZZ BEGIN THEIR 09-10 SEASON. :))
*Can't wait to see this hunk tearin' it up on the courts again! I could watch him throw 3's all day long..
Called To Serve
So I have a friend. She is not a member. She is dating an RM. I took her to FHE and other church functions. And I've always wanted to have a 'missionary moment' with her.
There's a line in my Patriarchal Blessing that reads, "You will have occasion to speak among your friends about the gospel. Be not afraid to speak to them and show by your actions the love you have of this gospel." Coincidence??
On Monday the missionaries came over to my apartment to ask how I was spreading the word and sharing the gospel. I mentioned my friend, and they had talked to TWO people before me who had also mentioned her name. Coincidence??
I ran into another set of missionaries at FHE that same day who asked me the same question. "How are you sharing the gospel?" I told them that I had planned on talking to my friend, and they pull out the scripture in Enos. Basically where Enos was in the wilderness and he remembered the words which his father had spake of concerning Eternal Life and other things. His soul hungered and he wanted to know more. (Something like that, at least.) So the missionaries encouraged me to bear my testimony to my friend, because her soul might hunger for more. I was reading my scriptures that night and ironically I left off right at the book of Enos. So I re-read it. Coincidence??
Today I went with my roommate to her Institute class because I wanted to see what her class was like. We talked about bringing other sheep to the fold. To be good examples, to help those who have lost their way, and to share the truth with others who may not know yet. Coincidence??
I think not.
ahh, I have this super over-whelming feeling inside, and I'm feeling really good about this. I was called to serve. :]

Belated Senior Pictures
When I say 'belated' I really do mean 'BELATED'. I'm 19, alomost 20, graduated over a year ago, and yet; still haven't gotten my Senior Pictures taken.. until just a couple of days ago. I missed out on that opportunity while in High School, but luckily my best friend is a photographer (actually, studying photography.. but she's amazing already.) She was so stoked to take my 'senior pictures' So here are some of my favorites..
Bringin the 60's back.. No big deal.
This picture is probably my favorite, the back
ground is so sweet. It's actually at a mortuary. Oooo.
Mmmm, I know what you're thinking..
and it's okay, you can be jealous of that
couch. It's been sitting on the patio of my
summer apt for probably years now.
This ones for my mom. I don't really like side-profiles of
myself, but my mom does for some reason. So here ya go
Mom! Also, I think the lighting is awesome, Kelli is a pro.
Credit: Kelli Danielle Harris. She's kind of a big deal. and she will shoot my wedding pictures too.. who knows when that will be.. But hopefully I'll get a best friend discount. :)

Posts A' Plenty!
Cheesy title.. let's not talk about it.
I've got a few things I'd like to blog about tonight.
-The Office, Season 6 premieres in 7 days! This is going to make life a whole lot easier.
-I absolutely love my new roommates. Especially my roommate that I share a room with. Her name is Emily Kofford, and she's amazing. She's such a good example, always reading her scriptures at night and writing in her journal. I've never been so diligent in reading scriptures until I roomed with her. I feel like if you're rooming with someone who does that, it rubs off onto you. Something like that. Anyway, I know this will be a good year with her. She also has the worlds most beautiful voice. She sings and plays the guitar, writes her own music, and is amazing. The first night I met her she sang and played the Hallelujah song. From that moment I knew I would get along with Emily. I have to beg her to play for me, because she's so good!
-I am starting to get a hang of college. Although, I'm not doing so well in math like I thought I would. My teacher kind of sucks, which is the world's biggest understatement, and he's not very easy to get a hold of after class to help me. So if anyone knows of a tutor, let me know! (Preferably one that is male, and cute, and single). :]]
-I was kind of bugged by my connections class today. Let me explain.. So we had this guest speaker come, and she was joking around with us before her presentation or whatever, and we asked her what she was speaking on, and she said, "Oh just some gay stuff!" We all laughed because we didn't think that she meant that literally. Wrong. She basically talked about the organization she's apart of. GLTBA or something like that. Gays, Lesbians, Transgender, Bisexual, and I forgot what the A meant. I was thinking, okay.. yeah I know we have to learn about diversity and what not, and be aware of these kinds of things.. but she was PROMOTING it! She talked about how wonderful her organization is, and that we need to all go in and hang out there because apparently it's the best place on campus. There motto was, "You don't have to COME OUT to come in." I don't know, I'm not bashing on gays or whatever, that's their decision, but I was super annoyed that homegirl was promoting homosexuality. Seriously, what is the world coming to?
-I went to a bonfire last weekend, and it was super fun! (I almost sounded like a valley girl in that sentence.. eeeeh.) But I went with my roommates and some other friends. Good times. The cops came to make sure we weren't drinking illegally. We weren't, in case you were wondering. They stayed a little while to play Destructive Ninja. The coolest cops I've ever had an encounter with!
-Last weekend, since my budget is little to nothing, my roommate Emily offered to take me to Bounteful with her. That's where she's from. And since I didn't want to be home alone, with everyone gone for Labor Day Weekend, I accepted. What a nice family! They were so welcoming and hospitable.
-Homecoming is coming up! And it's not formal this year.. Weird.. I know. BUT they are doing a 'Dress as your favorite decade' theme! SWEEET! This is like the 80's dance, only better cause you have more options! I'm thinking like the 40's or 30's. Like the Great Depression era. Or the Notebook type of look. Hopefully I can find a 'Noah' who's at good looking as Ryan Gossling! Yeee! aannnndddd it's also True Aggie Night. The only day where you can get away with kissing multiple guys within the same hour! Well.. I guess you could get away with it some other night, if you wanted to be classified as a.. never mind. ;)
-This last update is a little frustrating. But all the guys in my Apt Complex are 17-18!! Seriously I'm like the oldest, and I'm not used to that! The bishop told us that there was ONE room where there were guys that were like 21-23. Just ONE. So I hear the same thing every time I meet some new guys, "I'm 18." Siiigh. Oh well, I have connections with good-looking RM's. No big.
Sorry this is kinda long. I need to start updating everyday! It's an adventure here- all day, every day.
More to Come!
-Design on a Dime (how we fixed up our Apt)
-Bonfire pictures
-Emily's new song about our lovely green carpet (classic!)
-and all of my new goals for this year!
Stay Tuned.
