Pictures from cht. Wouldn’t add on to my last post.

CHT (church history tour:])

My most favorite vacation ever was the Church History Tour that I went on. It was such an amazing experience for me to help strengthen me. I was in a rough position before I left that I didn't let anyone know about. At first I was really worried about the trip. I was worried about the people and the just being gone for two weeks. I was self conscious. At first I was going because my friend wanted me too, and in the end I figured out I went for me. I loved this trip. More than words could ever explain. The places Sister and Brother Ewell take you have the spirit everywhere. Even in New York. There wasn't a day that I asked myself why am I here. I knew exactly why I was there. To strengthen my testimony and my self. I met some of the greatest and most friendliest friends on this trip. Friends I know will last a life time. This trip helps anyone find themselves. My most memorable places were Adam-Ondi-Ahman, Sacred Grove, of course New York, everywhere. I just loved it, period end of story. There were a couple days where I had already been to a couple places before. But learning about them in a whole new way helped me a lot. The trip was so much fun that I didn't want to leave. I still don't want to be home. For about a week I wasn't used to not having wake up calls, my door taped shut at night, my chaperones, Sister and Brother Ewell. I miss this trip. Recommended to all.

oh valentines day.

i hate it;/ all it does is remind you you have someone, and when you don't all it does is remind you, you don't have anyone. Oh the joys of being boy friend less. sometimes life just stinks. oh well i had 2 pretty cute dates carter 8 and tanner 5 and tanner let me know that i was his favorite girlfriend i love those boys... i can't wait to stay the weekend with them in a couple weeks. anyways valentines day didn't stink to bad okay it really did but the night was okay i got to spend it with the boys... thanks boys!!!

btw sheli they insisted on taking pictures with my camera so here they are haha...

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."

so...

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:)
