10 years ago
I was going through the most awkward stage of my life...I wore denim overall cut-off shorts everyday and my bangs were growing out along with my sick permed hair. so the bottom half of my hair was curly and the top half was straight. I got my kitten pepper and became obsessed with cats. I liked to climb trees and have spurts of hysterical hyperactive fun.

5 things on my to do list today
  1. go to class
  2. go to dinner group
  3. go to my parent's house
  4. make my art postcards
  5. get new shoes so I don't have to wear running shoes with slacks to work anymore
5 snacks I enjoy
  1. chips and salsa with cream cheese
  2. popcorn with peanut m&m's mixed in
  3. fruit...preferably pineapple or berries
  4. grilled cheese sandwiches dipped in ketchup
  5. smoothies of any kind
What I would do if I was given a billion dollars

I, like shell, would give 1,000,000 to the church for tithing and even more for fast offerings. Then I would pay off all my professors and get my teaching certificate...jk I would finish school and earn my teaching certificate, then go to art school and become famous. I would by my siblings and parents their dreams houses then I would buy a house on a cliff in the northeastern part of the united states and buy a year supply of crab and eat crab every day while I paint lighthouses and seascapes. By then I will be a celebrity so I will marry a really hot righteous man that adores me and we will have lots of children but before we have children we will visit every continent and live in countries such as Ireland, England, Italy, Switzerland, China, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, The Congo, India, some South America country, and we'll buy a couple islands and visit them. Every winter. And maybe we will have children by then. Yeah, I will have children first but I won't age because I will buy anti-aging magical potion which will allow me to visit the world but still be young enough when I am done to have lots of children. Then I will give to my children money I have invested so they can live their dreams.

President Gordon B. Hinckley, 1910-2008



It's been a really powerful day at school today. Instead of regular lecture in my classes we went around and discussed our feelings and testimony of the prophet. I am so glad that I go to a university where we can talk about our beliefs during a time like this. I am so glad that President Hinckley was the prophet during my youth. In the events I have been to where he has spoken I felt his love for the gospel and for the members of the church. Through his life I have learned that I too can have a fulfilling experience if I stay active in the church and keep trying to be a little better.

Go here to see some great pictures and listen to President Hinckley.
