Welcome the Dal-Man!

Since I was about an hour late today, here is a sneak peek at my latest project with my Stud of a brother...

Fun Day Monday! Day4

I think I shall keep it simple tonight. :)

Today was really good all in all. Made it to all my classes, finished my homework, got to make sand castles in my Geology lab, finished my schedule for next semester. This week is looking pretty good so far.

Here are a couple of quotes to get you pondering tonight:

"I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars"

-Og Mandino

and

"Though my soul may set in darkness it will rise in perfect light I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."

-Sarah Williams

I really would love to hear your thoughts, so please feel free to weigh in...

Conference! Day #3

Let me just say along with everyone else that Conference was AMAZING this year! This was probably the first time in forever that I was able to watch all four sessions. It definitely wasn't easy considering I had to watch them on my own on my laptop online. Not complaining though. I am incredibly blessed to have the ability to watch conference in my native language at my leisure.

This was a very good year for me. There were countless talks that I felt were for my benefit. So much of what the authorities were saying directly correlated to what I've been struggling with personally this last year or so.

I think my favorite sessions were on Sunday but so many of the talks had a direct impact. I especially loved Elder Holland's talk. He is by far my favorite apostle. I just love the way he directs the people of the church in such a loving and careful way. Even when you're feeling rebuked you feel his love for you. :)

Some other themes I noticed were:
-Temple Marriages
-Being examples
-withstanding trials in your life and their importance
-Repentance and the atonement
-Tithing
-Receiving Revelation
-The impact of the music the choir sang
-Charity and the Welfare Program
-Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy
-and Family

And of course everybody was talking about this:


So funny.

Well I hope everybody had a great weekend. :) Feel free to weigh in on your personal highlights of conference down here VVV

April Challenge Day #2

Yay! I made it to day 2! Just 28 more posts to go. :) I can't wait, I hope you're ready!!!

For my first real post, I won't go too far back, just 2 weeks when I celebrated my amazing BIRTHDAY! That's right world, I am now 20 Years Old!!! And boy was I spoiled!!!!

I celebrated with my family during spring break while I was home. My mom and I went to the local beauty school for facials, pedicures, and a blowout. It was lots of fun and super cheap. We'll definitely be going back. The facials alone were awesome!

Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of pics from most of the events.

That night I got to open my presents!

My amazing boyfriend Mason, took me here for my Real Birthday!



SOOO spoiled right?? :D

I didn't take many pictures while we were there though :/ Bummer...

We had a blast though. It was Spring Break in Cali so the place was packed, but we managed to hit up most of the good ones. Goliath, X2 (my fave!), Apocalypse, and some of the milder ones like Revolution and Jet Stream. So much fun!!!

All in all, I think I had an AH-MAZING 20th birthday! I feel so spoiled and loved :)

The only bummer is the depression that hits the day after all the festivities are over. :( 12 months till I'm 21 I guess... haha
