and its negative 1,000 degrees in the morning
however i LOVE walking home.

when i got home, amelia had looked out side and said
"the trees are covered with that...that....one kind of frost again"
"you mean hoar frost?" i said
she giggled and said "yes, that...i almost called it slut frost"
it made me laugh a lot

im not sure why it struck me so much today,
but it did. it made me sit and think twice of just
how beautiful the world in which we live is.
seriously.
For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.
For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
Pleasures pure and undefiled,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.
For each perfect gift of thine,
To our race so freely given,
Graces human and divine,
Flowers of earth and buds of heaven,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise
now i just want to go home and watch little women with my mommy
p.s. this pic was taken back in the fall.
it also makes me very happy :)

he tried to run away into the church parking lot
but no one would let him in...
so he reluctantly turned around
and tried to bolt across the street
but the cops showed up.
he was a naughty turkey...
only in logan...

in the midst of having a really crappy morning,
i received a text from my mother saying:
"i love you my dear, i hope your having a gleeful day"
that in itself made me want to make this the best day possible!
(so, i did ALL my laundry, and ALL my homework and
since then, it has been quite glee-ful)
also, on the back of the box of Midol I purchased today it says:
"ask a doctor before use if you have difficulty in urination due to enlargement of the prostate gland"
does that make sense to anyone? haha
it reminded me of the episode of glee where finn tells puck his mom has to have her prostate removed. hahahaha
oh the little things in life sure do make it great

i have been pondering for sometime about switching wards with sara michelle. but i knew that for some reason i need to stay but i just didnt know why...until today.
i have been wanting to switch because i have just felt very disconnected from my ward all last semester. i havent felt welcome by any of the other girls in the ward, and just feel a little secluded from everyone there. but i decided to stay just because it was the right thing to do.
today i knew it was the right place to be simply because i felt that every single word spoken was literally catered to me. we learned that when we use our talents and skills to benefit others, we are in turn benefiting our selves and bringing a little more joy into the world. then we learned about the creation of the world and how God's plan has made it so that we can all be eternally happy. then sacrament meeting was all about...happiness. i couldnt believe it. everything that was said was in direct reflection of everything i am trying to better in my life. being happy, and finding joy in the journey. it was seriously an answer to so many prayers and questions i have had for so long.
<3 it!
"each day can be the best day of my life"
"dont worry your life away"
"everyone can create something of substantial beauty"
"as we strive to lift up others, the more we rise up ourselves"
"your future is as bright as your faith"
"learn from your past, don't live in"
"god doesnt care about where we have been, but about where we are and where we are going"

visiting with my grandparents today
and bonding with them like we never have before.
it was just me and them...
for probably the first time ever.
(thats just how it is when i am one of 30 grandkids)
and they told me stories of their time in logan
when they were first married.
almost 60 years ago
grandpa worked at the bowling alley
and got paid $.85 an hour
grandma would walk around the corner to the grocery store
and buy 4 pounds of beef for a dollar
it had to last them a week
grandma said "when you are happy, you dont ever notice you are poor"
i sure do love my grandparents
and i sure do love logan, utah

having the knowledge that death is not the end
and that we will all be reunited again in His glorified presence
brought joy to my day
i was once told that people often have their most profound spiritual experiences
with life and with death
its so true
you will be missed uncle gordon
also my little bro piping amazing grace
at the grave side service.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
powerful words
powerful music
always tugs at my heart
and makes me really think about how blessed i am
to have the knowledge that i have
brought joy to my day

this is what made me happy
doing something for myself.
and feeling great as an end result
the start of something new
this is a new little piece of me.
my "new years resolution" (if thats what you want to call it)
is to enjoy my journey
and to find true happiness
in my life and day to day adventures.
one way i feel i can best describe this,
is through pictures
so this blog will, in a sense, be a journal of pictures
of how i can find happiness in each and every day.
its mostly for my self... but maybe you can find some happiness in it too.
