I remember going to DQ for family home evening treats when I was younger. My very favorite was the Butterfingers blizzard. The funny thing is I don't know why that was my favorite, I don't even really like butterfingers. It was probably one of my sisters favorites ha. Well for the first time since I was probably 9 years old, I went to DQ and tried the Banana Cream Pie blizzard. Oh. my. gosh. SO good.
For one of my classes, this week I had to go to a children's dance concert. It was pretty amazing actually. One of the performances hit me pretty hard. A 7 year old little girl danced to this song. As soon as I got home I looked it up. Turns out it is from this past years EFY's CD. It's such a beautiful song.
I Am His Daughter
The photos in the magazines Don't dictate who I'm supposed to be The world can't recognize, all that I am inside But I know in His eyes, I am a part of, the bigger picture,
There's so much more to me He helps me see that I have so much to offer I am His daughter He loves me the way I am, He's my strength when I stand He is my King, and my Father, I am His daughter.
The people on the TV screen, The leaders, rulers, and queens I watch them shape the world, And though I'm just a girl, I still know for sure, That I am a part of, the bigger picture
There's so much more to me He helps me see that I have so much to offer I am His daughter He loves me the way I am, He's my strength when I stand He is my King, and my Father, I am His daughter
And when I'm feeling small, And wondering if I'll ever, find courage to stand tall Through His love I remember
There's so much more to me He helps me to see that I have so much to offer I am His daughter He loves me the way I am He's my strength when I stand He is my King, and my Father, I am His daughter
P.S. DAILY GEMS
So I heard about these "Daily Gems" from a friend last week. I love them! They are inspirational quotes from our Leaders of the Church. They are found on LDS.org. I love finding good quotes and these have become the best part of my mornings.
(Go to LDS.org main page, then click on gospel library, then Lds gems- inspirational quotes, then click on the tab Daily Gems)
"Sisters, we love you. We pray for you. Be strong and of good courage. You are truly royal spirit daughters of Almighty God. You are princesses, destined to become queens. Your own wondrous story has already begun. Your 'once upon a time' is now."
Soo these caramel apples may not look the greatest ha, but they were so good. I would even say as good as Pooh Corner in Dland- and thats saying something!
I love living in Lanai Apartments. They really are the best. I've met so many amazing people this semester and have had a lot of fun. In fact, it has become one of my favorite semesters of college. I am so glad I've gotten to meet these girls. Living in UT would definitely not be the same with out them.
My newest nephew is here! A little over a week and a half ago our little "Huckleberry" was born. I am so excited to meet this little man. I love him already. Look how cute he is!!
Congrats Tyler and Alisha!
(Thanks Alisha for posting this picture- I have been dying to see a close up!)
Today's the day- October 24th-Landry's 21st Birthday! I have been thinking and looking forward to today for a while now. I'm so excited because today he opens my package! I wanted to do something really special for his birthday, and after brainstorming and asking a lot of people... I decided I was going to sew a blanket! I had never done this before but, thought how hard could it be right? ha ha wrong. Sewing is hard work and takes a lot of patience! I am so lucky I had my mom, to teach me and walk me through everything. She is amazing. She helped me undo every mistake I made to make it absolutely perfect-- and it really did turn out perfect. I will always remember this time I had with my mom. We really had so much fun together.
Can't wait to hear from him tomorrow!!
Roll Tide (Go Elephants :)
I am so proud of him. He really is an amazing missionary.
So I'm 20 and am now a junior at BYU. I am studying Elementary Education and start the program this fall- so excited! As of now I just made it back up to school and am so happy to be back. There are so many things to look forward to this year and I can't wait to see what happens...
