quotes and scriptures that keep me going mostly quotes though!

these two kids who i love dearly also keep me going:)

Know that you are a daughter/ son of god, children with a divine birthright. Walk in the sun with your heads high, knowing that you are loved and honored, that you are a part of his kingdom and that there is for you a great work to be done which cannot be left to others. Pres Hinckley.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

To be great is not to be seen by, but to truly see others, to be great is not to be higher than another, but to lift another higher.

Life’s too short to waste one second with anyone who doesn’t appreciate or value you…

It is what it is. Not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.

There is no end to hope. there is no end to love.

It doesn’t matter where you are on the path, but in what direction you are headed. emma smith movie

Do more than hear… Listen. Do more than listen… Understand. Do more than think… Ponder. Do more than talk… Say something.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

They day you start thinking love is overrated is the day you’re wrong! If somethings wrong it’s not having it!

While in the pursuit of happiness one should stop and just be happy.

Some people come into our lives. Leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.

3rd Nephi 12:43-47

"An behold it is written also, that thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy; But behold I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do goo to them that hate you, and pray for them who despitefully use you and persecute you; That y may be the children of you Father who is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good. Therefore those things which were of old time, which were under the law, in me are all fulfilled. Old things are done away, and all things have become new."

People have been asking me how being the bishops daughter is going, or how the bishops family is dealing I've decided to elaborate on it. It has its advantages and disadvantages. It has it's rewards and sometimes it just plain stinks. It's not easy being the bishops daughter and now i understand why people were saying i feel so bad for you at the beginning of this whole process. It is not what i expected to be. It is completely different from having your grandparents as temple presidents so make good choices. It is like living in a glass house. I sometimes feel like i should use the excuse shouldn't i rebel isn't that what bishops kids are supposed to do. Ha I think I've used it before. But every child goes through something. I guess this just has to be one of my somethings that has happened in the last three years. Overall, I'm sure in the future I'll be super grateful for the experience, but for now I'll say I'm dealing fine, it's hard but it can have it's rewards... so life as a bishops daughter may stink but sometimes you come out of the experience with a different aspect on things. I'm sure it will happen a lot more after the however long he has is over. but for now I'll be grateful for what I get, and deal with the other things later. The Lord never gives you more then you can handle right? I've decided to live by that phrase. love you all and hope you have a good day!

I’m officially addicted to…

dr. pepper. I know crazy right?! Well it all started on a trip to Utah. I had literally 30 minutes to pack, but you know me I’m all for the spontaneous trips. They’re very fun to me. So we leave at like 5:30, but we have to stop because we need caffeine. I’ve always loved dr. pepper, but it wasn’t till this trip that I actually HAD to have it. Needless to say I now crave it and have to go on dr. pepper runs. I can’t leave a grocery store or anywhere without getting one. Sad I know but it happens right. Ha well this my update… have a good day:)

the joys of having matt at home!

well when matt comes home i get grilled about boys, i get threats that he will kill the boys, my little sister makes up lies to tell him so i get grilled some more. we fight and i say it's time for you to go back to armenia, maybe you'll come home a little more humble. I say your still weird and you've been off your mission for almost 7 months (aren't you supposed to be normal yet?!) life gets harder with the pops and and the momma. we wrestle and i always LOSE. i try taking a nap or sleep in and i get bombarded with matts butt. we have tickle fights. we listen to mom sing love at home when helen and matt and i are fighting. dad loses his temper A LOT, because he can't focus enough on matt when i'm around (favorite child much?!) dad just always loses his temper with me anyways i'm the messed up child who apparently he doesn't like much. helen and matt get spoiled beyond belief and what do i get a laugh in the face. we see everything and i mean everything from matts dorm room it's like he's moving back in. he takes the whole week to do millions of loads of laundry. we hear random conversations between him and natalie either in person or over the phone like i'm hearing right now. HAHAHAHAHAHA we hear a lot about why he hates BYU oh and uncle andrew i'm supposed to tell you a lot of people think BYU is the prophets school but the school of prophets is U of U because all or most of the prophets graduated from there.(self righteous much haha jk) we listen to what we call "cabin talk" between him and stephen. steve gets mad at erin, erin fights back we all yell at eachother erin leaves bawling and makes us all feel bad well most of us anyways, matt gets up and takes a walk he can't handle it. if grandmas here she starts using sayings like oh hell stop fighting, or i'm never coming to stay with you guys if your always fighting so we've made a new rule while grandma is here were not allowed(happy aunt heidi haha) to talk to eachother. matt watches tons of ESPN and we never see the TV remote. steve takes matt golfing and kevin usually ends up with them which upsets erin. oh and the best thing he's ever said is what i heard tonight, straight from his mouth you fight again and i'm leaving to go have thanksgiving with natalie we see how it is matt and we love you too. that boy doesn't remember anything before he went to college or his mission does he. hahaha we love when matt comes home best memories of all!

Oh wow.

well politics have grown on me just a little bit thought. not majorly though. i'm only sixteen. my friend today came and got me and was talking to me a little about it and how her parents didn't really care, they voted for McCain just cause he was republican, she has a my space and said that this picture was going around about Obama and it was a picture of him and it said quote "Hitler gave great speeches too" i didn't quite know how to react to it. i haven't seen it didn't even hear about it til today. i guess i don't really know what to say about it even now. i'm scared about what's going to happen, really i am but is it really right to do that. i don't want to sound racist i do sorta agree with it, but if people really felt that way why didn't McCain win? i guess i do agree with the statement. i could really never get a feel for Obama cause you never knew when he was lying or telling the truth unless he made it obvious or at least that's how i felt. i'm only sixteen and i'm not saying i'm right at all. i just don't understand what people really saw in him. my seminary teacher was kinda put on the spot this morning by these boys who were really upset by the election results. seminary is seriously the weirdest place to talk about this stuff to me anyways. so the conversation kept going on and on and on and on. the way i feel about it is we have four years to deal with him. our lives may be a living hell who knows what will happen but once people truly realize what this new president of ours truly is maybe we can get him out of office. i don't know just some thoughts!!! have a good day!
