I am LOVING this cover these days, especially since I think they overplay the original on the radio

Today is one of those days
I am doing things (going to church, spending time with friends, baking)
but nothing is quite satisfying

I have run into this talk a lot recently
and it brings peace and comfort to my soul
So many beautiful things can be taken from this talk
and I would like to share some of my favorite parts from it

"First and foremost, you are a spirit child of God. If you neglect to feed your spirit, you will reap unhappiness. Don't permit anything to detract you from this awareness."

"God knows better than you what you need. He always attempts to speak to you. Listen, and follow the uncomfortable suggestions that he makes to us--everything will fall into its place."

"Avoid at all cost any pessimistic, negative, or criticizing thoughts. If you cannot cut them out, they will do you harm. On the road toward salvation, let questions arise but never doubts. If something is wrong, God will give you clarity but never doubts."

"The pain of sacrifice lasts only one moment. It is the fear of the pain of sacrifice that makes you hesitate to do it."

Not only are there so many words of comfort in this talk, but also so many suggestions on how I can improve
I am excited at the renewed strength I feel, at the sense of purpose I receive from listening to these words

Happy Sabbath to you all!

I wish I was flying to London today
Instead I am taking these two (Owen isn't going with them) to the airport so they can fly to London


They better bring me back some galaxy chocolate

Can I be finished with school and have lots of money for travel?
Please?

Maybe I am dreaming of going to this
But I worry that it would ruin My Fair Lady for me because Audrey is just sooooo good
Just look at her!


I would be fine with this being my wedding dress

I have an addiction
and it is called pinterest

I don't have a wedding to plan
I don't need to decorate a home
I don't need to sew a new wardrobe
I don't need food ideas for a party

But I can't stop pinning
adorable, creative or beautiful things

Is there a 12 step program for this?
because I need it

A typical thursday evening in Freshman Seminar with Jenn...


Both of us on our laptops, taking notes and paying attention
browsing the interwebs
shopping for shoes

Let's hear it for 2nd senior year!
