Valuable lessons in Dating.

Yesterday was Sunday which included Church and then a fireside to follow. The fireside was about Dating and it was great!It was long.. but, great valuable lessons. The fireside was about a web blog turned Book "31 dates in 31 days" by Tamara Duricka Johnson. The best part is that not only was the author their in person, but she was Mormon!(me too) I loved it when I first heard about the fireside and actually looked at her blog after hearing all she had to say. Here's the blog link: So the super "Me" summed up version is that she(me too) was tired of being single and wanted to start anew. The idea ultimately meant to start fresh, go on first dates, have fun and just enjoy the process without any expectations. So, she went on 31 dates in 31 days, had a second date with one of them and ended up marrying the same guy! It's pretty official that she's a Rockstar! In the church alot of times dating isn't easy... like AT ALL! Especially to a Convert looking in.(also like me)So, because of that I have decided to really put myself out there and start dating. I feel like this experience will take time and also building my confidence. One of the Prime Lessons that I learned from Tamara's talk was to just say "Yes". Yes to anyone that asks for a date and/or anyone that I wouldn't normally go for. I should give everyone a chance and that's exactly what I'm going to do. The only problem is that will those same people have the same motto as me, the "Yes" to anyone motto. I just hope to be given a chance as I am giving a chance to everyone else. Another Great Valuable lesson was just because you went on a date with a person and sparks did not fly that doesn't mean it's a dead end. The reason for this is because they have friends! One of those friends could be the one and even your future spouse. So... You...Never...Know... :) So we shall see where this goes!

Say what?

So, today was a pretty great day filled with laughter and errands. Mom's had me running some errands (which usually means I drive), but today I was a relived to be a passenger. Anywho, so we we're mainly in Torrance today and I was able to get a few quick pics of my outfit today. Sorry for the somewhat bad quality of my photos The iPad doesn't take the best photos. Before, I forget I accepted the offer to a certain BYU which is.... BYU.......Drumroll.... Idaho!! So, Idaho here I come!!! Well, after my mission at least. :) Top: Arizona,pants: Target,sandals: Se Boutique,purse: Melie Bianco,Headband: Jcpenny,watch: Walmart

Accepted?

So I applied to University! I applied to 3 universities in 3 totally different States. I applied to Utah,Idaho and Hawaii All three which are church schools. Utah is 1st choice, Idaho my 2nd and Hawaii My 3rd (Only b/c it's super far away... and I live in California!) So Far, I got Accepted to BYU Hawaii & Idaho (In that order) It's kinda Bittersweet for me going off to college. I am super Pumped for the Experience & Adventure I have yet to encounter moving to another state. At the same time all my family lives in California, so I'm sure it will be especially hard on my Parents. I'm just grateful that I'm getting Accepted, I know now that a 4.0 Gpa & getting on the Deans List Finally paid off. I still have yet to hear from Utah which btw, is the hardest of the three to get into but, Patience is Key (So I'm told.) If I don't get into Utah, It's ok b/c I think I would really enjoy Rexburg,ID. Here's some Pics of what It looks like. I will Blogging From One of these Places! Can't Wait! So Here are the Campuses: Utah, Idaho, Hawaii

Blog Updates Soon!

Poor Little Blog of mine :( I have been neglecting you so... I will be posting alot more.Soon Stay Tuned!

A Day given to you is a Great Day

So, Today was a great day. It was filled with the spirit and just overwhelming peace. As, I took the Sacrament today I remembered. I remembered why I joined the church, how lucky I am to have been blessed to be here today. When I say how lucky I am, I don't just mean in Church, but overall. I’m so grateful to be alive and unharmed. I realized that A Day given to you is a great day..(Hence the Title Name). Any day in which we wake up is a blessing to be alive once more, to be able to walk upon the earth once more. The ability to Laugh, Love and live with our Families & Friends once more is fulfilling is it not? Realize that Heavenly Father has given us another chance at life on this Earth. Another chance to experience all we wholesomely can, before we eventually die. Yes we will eventually die, but to know that you did your best in everyday given to you is peace at mind. It really is. I'm not afraid of death & dying like I use to be once. I have peace of mind now; I have accepted that I will die one day. I also know that by living by the gospel & living a righteous life, I will be not only be reunited with family but also receive exaltation. I realize that it is Ultimately Heavenly Fathers Decision and I'm only living by his divine plan, but I always do my best. I do my best to be the best Heavenly daughter I can be....
