a little bit of sparkle

I’m obsessed with sparkles and butterflies right now (as you can probably tell about butterflies from my profile), I just love being a girl! Haha I mean ya, if I were a boy I would learn to be okay with it (I guess) but, I am really glad Heavenly Father decided to make me a girl. OH and by the way, this is our last FULL week of January! I am really excited for this month to be over; this month has gone by soo very ssslllooowwww. I want summer to come, one month closer to summer, I LOVE the warm weather. I’m excited! ;)

My Wonderful Friend Megan returns home soon and I am SO EXCITED!

My best friend Megan is on a mission for the Latter-Day Saint Church in San Diego, CA. She is currently serving at the Mormon Battalion Centre there and returns home at the beginning of March. She has been away for almost a year and a half and I am getting anxious for her arrival home. I would never tell her I am excited for her to come home because I don’t want her to think about coming home and not finishing out strong on her mission, so it is my little secret BUT I will tell you all because I don’t think right now she is able to read this! We have been good friends for about 10 years now and I hope it continues for a lot more. Below is a picture of her and I at EFY a few years ago (it is a church camp, for those who don’t know what it is, it is where youth get to meet with other youth of the LDS faith from around the world and stay at a college campus for a week. They get to participate in games, activities and have lessons that help build testimonies and help them learn more about the gospel.)

(Left to right is Megan and I at EFY at Montana State University, summer of 2006.)

Here is her blog of her being on her mission if you're interested in following:

Happy Happy 2011!

Happy 2011 to everyone!!! Hope this next year is better than the last and the last year was pretty darn good (but I am pretty sure it will be ;))! I am excited to see what the next year has in store for me. I hope it brings many more big improvements like this year I made some huge improvements, I mean I WENT TO SCHOOL and LIVED ON MY OWN! That is HUGE for me and I am really happy it has gotten back to that point. Well, Happy New Years again and it's a whole New Year for many more posts to come of stuff that we can only wait and see what they are going to be about!
