Trailer for Stake Day of Service

VIDEO!!!

So click on the link above labeled video (I'm original I know). So my stake is having a stake day of service this weekend and some people in my ward decided to make a video preparing us for it. It's hilarious. You will understand my ward if you watch it.  Enjoy. Oh and I really don't know where my Bishop came up with the whole ghetto blast thing. It was hilarious having him say it in Relief Society on Sunday.

Ramblings for Mother's Day

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been thinking about the definition of home because of a conversation I had with my mom.  And the other night I had this thought come to me: "They say home is where you hang your hat, but I believe home is where you give your heart."  And as I thought about that, all the places I consider to be  my home are with people who I gave my heart and I received theirs in return.  I haven't always just called my parents house home.  I have called friend's houses as a second home at times or my apartment at school I referred to as my home a lot of the time.  Even though I had many homes, it was okay because they were all places I felt loved, welcomed, and as someone should that mattered. I am grateful to have been able to give my heart to many people.

Then immediately I started thinking about my wonderful, kind, and loving mother.  She is someone who has always given her heart regardless. She has definitely given her heart to each of her children.  She is always concerned with our well being, and has always been there for us(whether we were willing to turn to her or not). She has guided me through some of my most difficult trials and celebrated with me in all of my happiest moments.  She has always been there and will always be there for me. Because she loves me and I love her in return, wherever my parents will live someday will always be home to me.

Isn't she beautiful?! Now you can all see where my good looks come from! ;) 

But anyway that is my story for the night.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!!!!

UNLV! woo!

I have had a crazy week. I found out on Monday that I was accepted to UNLV for my master's program. I have been emailing people like crazy trying to jump through all of these hoops so that my start can be as smooth as possible. I have had some insanely annoying obstacles with their website. Grrr. But thankfully waiting until the next day I have been able to fix most of those problems. I was able to register for classes today which was exciting! I am really excited for fall!

Now I'm officially a Rebel! I am so excited for all of this.  I feel so blessed to be able to further my education. :)

FAKE it until you BECOME it.

So one of my friends shared this on Facebook. I decided to watch it because there were positive comments on it. and oh. my. goodness. It was so worth the 20 minutes I spent watching it. I could hardly wait until the end of the video because I just knew this was something I needed to share. It is something I am going to watch again and again.  But seriously it puts a whole new perspective on life for me. It puts a whole new perspective on faking it until you make it.  Because no you don't want to just make it, you want to become it. Enjoy. :)
