"Dont think too much. You'll create a problem that wasnt even there in the first place." ♥
BAM! best quote ever!
but really, problems come and its when you dwell on them forever and not let go, that is what creates the problem. it is when you dont want to let someone go, and they want to leave, let them, cause obviously they don't care enough about you. its when you like someone, just be pacient and see if they like you back, don't overthink every little thing. just let life happen, and smile (:

well i found out i suck at frisbee, and i deffs need to practice!

"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I'm possible!"
-Audrey Hepburn

and what always cheers me up, the notebook

(:“My Dearest Allie. I couldn’t sleep last night because I know that it’s over between us. I’m not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I’ll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I’ll be seeing you. Noah.”

I'm going to have a good week because I am choosing to have a beautiful outlook on life and I am excited for finals week!
I watched The Help, it's one of my favorite movies (:
"You is kind. You is smart. You is important."

I find the guys in this movie, Stuart, VERY attractive (: gotta love those southern boys.

Our company ONE.Heart. ONE. Mind.

The best session directors that ever lived. the cleggs!!! thank you for being such good examples

FIRST DAY OF SUMMER VACATION! we went to Lake Powell!!!

I love page Arizona! i love eating at RD's and i love spending a whole day on the lake. i love hiking through the skinny caves, and i love the smallness of the town :) Lake Powell is the bomb

I am so tired. this week has been LONG. me and my sisters went to the doctors, we had a girls camp swim party, i watched the bachlorette, we had gracie's birthday party, and i baby sat, alot. but im so excited because on monday we head off on our summer vacation! i am so beyond thrilled to go to lake powell, see all my cousins, and go to EFY :)
have a wonderful evening <3

We had the best mutual lesson on being praiseworthy. We are all princesses, and we need to hold ourselves like we know we are royalty. We need to act in a way that brings praise from others. Would you ever see Kate disregarding her poise? No, she always acts in a way that would never disgrace her, or her family. We are all princesses and we need to realize our potential and that we need to be the examples heavenly father wants us to be :)

GIRLS CAMP 2011

DAY 1

We conquered the high and low ropes course!

DAY 2

The 4th Year Hike!!! Hardest hike of our lives! (Who's that Girl?)

Day 3

The power of ONE!

Day 4

Are you in the Picture? and evening of white <3

Day 5

Be a Keeper; be a keeper of your covenants even when you have to stand alone.

Day 6

I AM A GIRL WHO KNOWS!

This girls camp, was amazing. I learned so much about myself. I learned that i can do the hardest things, even when I just want to give up and fall down. I learned that we need to prepare now for when Christ comes again because you never know when it will happen, and you don't want to have that feeling of looking out the window and seeing all of your friends out there with no light. I learned that there are people out there seeking for the truth and we can help them find it. I learned to have confidence in who I am. I learned that I am loved by so many. I learned that as young women we need to all stand together and be as one.

Thank you to all the leaders that made this years camp possible. It was the best ever! And I want to thank all of my 4th years for being the best! I loved every minute of being a 4th Year YCL and I wouldn't trade it for anything :) LOVE YOU GIRLS!

This one is for pup, and how it explains us so well. We need to know, rather than go through life always thinking what if...
This one is for tiner, and all the girls that hate us :)

This is just what we were all talking about the other day. so boys, be nice :)

I fell for a smile, and I want someone to fall for mine too. <3

Keeps me going every day...

BEST DAY EVER!!! ;)

Like falling stars over your head
We were bound to burn out, just like crashing cars
I'll never get over you, never over you
Cause you are so beautiful
You are so beautiful.... -david archuleta

"To wish you were someone else, is to waste the person you are."

"The world has LESS color WITHOUT you."

“i believe in pink. i believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. i believe in kissing, kissing a lot. i believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. i believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. i believe that tomorrow is another day and i believe in miracles.”.. <3

"grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. laugh when you can, appologize when you should, and let go of what you cant change."...

every time she laughs she hopes he's watching. not so that he sees she's happy but that maybe, just maybe he'll fall for her smile just as hard as she fell for his...<3

yes i do know one guy that makes me melt everytime I see his smile. its amazing the power such a small thing can have. gosh dang holy smokin'/look at the things you do to me.
