Day 17: Something you're looking forward to

Graduation!!!!

BAM

Nuff Said. :)

Day 16: Dream house

For me, it's all about location:

That's right, Bag End baby!!!! (P.S. if you don't know what I'm talking about, go read Lord of the Rings, and then watch the movie :)

But just think, it's perfect, it comes with beautiful landscaping:

amazing housey-innards:

And HOBBITS!!! Who are pretty much the coolest. EVER. (Sam's my fav, closely followed by Pippin, fyi, but they all rock :)

And who doesn't love round green doors right?

Overall it's pretty much amazing. However, it does have one very small setback:

It's a little too small. You really only fit if you are about four feet high.

Also, it is in a slightly not real location...:(

Sighhhhh, if only I were four feet high and fictional.

Oh well, a girl can dream right? :)

P.S. Check it out, they made Bag End into a doll-house. AWESOME.

Day 15: Bible verse

2 Timothy 4: 6-7

"For I a now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."

I have always absolutely loved this verse. Every time I read it it inspires me, and makes me want to try harder to keep the commandments and follow the Savior, so that one day when this life is over, I can know that I've fought as hard as I can to keep the faith.

P.S. The picture above is of Paul writing a letter to Timothy from prison. The picture below is of the Stripling Warriors in the Book of Mormon, which kind of relates, because they fought hard (literally) and kept their faith :)

Makeover Time!

So this one time, my lovely nieces (Strawberry, Apple, and Mango) came over to visit. And we were bored. So then Apple said, lets have a makeover party! I guess it's cause I'm just that good at makeovers!! haha....yeah. Anyways, despite my lack of photography skills, hair-doing-make-up doing-fingernail-painting skills, my models still manage to look beautiful :) So here they are:

Here's Strawberry after her eyes and nails: (She liked my green monster rug :)

Here's Apple after hers:

And Mango...was really wiggly :)

And then they all saw my lipstick :) Hehehe

And then came the hair...

So basically it was super cute, and then they went through and picked out the pictures they wanted me to put on my blog :)

Day 14: A picture of you last year - how have you changed?

So this picture was taken last year when my family went to the museum. How have I changed since then? Well for one thing, I'm not about to be eaten by a dinosaur skeleton anymore :) Also, I am a sophomore in college now (almost a junior!), I have been volunteering at a hospital for about a year, I started going to a student ward, I fell in love with Thai food, I read Jane Eyre (again :), and I met a few new peeps, and I got called to be a ward missionary, and in one month I will put in my official application for the nursing program!! Other than that, I'm pretty much the same as ever, I go to school, I stay with my familia, aaaaaaand I have a dog, who is a little insane :) That's about it :)

Day 13: Goals

I have a lot of goals. And they are always changing. But basically, here are a few:

1. I want to spend eternity with my family. This one's a biggie :)

2. I want to be a nurse!!! And I'm halfway there :) This is the snazzy uniform I get to wear next year (assuming I get in :) (Yes, the pants are totally see-through, Yikes!)

3. I want to be a mommy :) Not right now or anything, but someday :)

4. I want to memorize Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata on the piano

5. I want to read about a bagillion books, which would take too much space to list here, someday I will make you a list, but not today :)

6. And finally, I want to be as amazing as all the people I love and look up to, including but not limited to these fine folks:

Skellington

Day 12: Something you don't leave the house without

The things I don't leave the house without are pretty basic, phone, pepper spray, and keys, complete with Jack Skellington keychain:

Found this at Blockbuster the other week whilst I was renting a movie. Best purchase of my life. Okay not really, but I still like it, it has a frowning face on the back, which is slightly less creepy than the smiley face :)
