A Wise Man Once Said. . .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snAjZ8mfoYw
* Embrace this day with an enthusiastic welcome, no matter how it looks. The covenant with God to which you are true enables you to become enlightened by him, and nothing is impossible for you.
* When you are physically sick, tired, or in despair, steer your thoughts away from yourself and direct them, in gratitude and love, toward God.
* In your life there have to be challenges. They will either bring you closer to God and therefore make you stronger, or they can destroy you. But you make the decision of which road you take.
* 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.
* You cannot communicate with God unless you have first sacrificed your self-oriented natural man and have brought yourself into the lower levels of meekness, to become acceptable for the Light of Christ.
* Put all frustrations, hurt feelings, and grumblings into the perspective of your eternal hope. Light will flow into your soul.
* Pause to ponder the suffering Christ felt in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the awareness of the depth of gratitude for him, you appreciate every opportunity to show your love for him by diligently serving in his Church.
* God knows that you are not perfect. As you suffer about your imperfections, he will give you comfort and suggestions of where to improve.
* 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 any fear like your worst enemy, but magnify your fear about the consequences of sin.
* When you cannot love someone, look into that person's eyes long enough to find the hidden rudiments of the child of God in him.
* Never judge anyone. When you accept this, you will be freed. In the case of your own children or subordinates, where you have the responsibility to judge, help them to become their own judges.
* If someone hurts you so much that your feelings seem to choke you, forgive and you will be free again.
* 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.
* Avoid rush and haste and uncontrolled words. Divine light develops in places of peace and quiet. Be aware of that as you enter places of worship.
* Be not so much concerned about what you do, but do what you do with all your heart, might, and strength. In thoroughness is satisfaction.
* You want to be good and to do good. That is commendable. But the greatest achievement that can be reached in our lives is to be under the complete influence of the Holy Ghost. Then he will teach us what is really good and necessary to do.
* The pain of sacrifice lasts only one moment. It is the fear of the pain of sacrifice that makes you hesitate to do it.
* Be grateful for every opportunity to serve. It helps you more than those you serve.
* And finally, when you are compelled to give up something or when things that are dear to you are withdrawn from you, know that this is your lesson to be learned right now. But know also that, as you are learning this lesson, God wants to give you something better.
(In a BYU Devotional, given on May 14 1996, Elder F. Enzio Busche of the Quorum of the Seventy of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gave advice to those listening on how to become a disciple of Christ. The speech was entitled "Unleashing the Dormant Spirit" and can be found at http://speeches.byu.edu/reader/reader.php?id=7908 )

HAPPY 2010!!!
So I am super excited for the things that my life has in store for me this year!! As many of you know I'm getting married March 12th of this year; and I am so excited that I can hardly stand it any longer!! But I still have 64 days so here are some of the thing i'll be doing until that great day! (and a few things i've already done this year).
-I moved to New Mexico!!! ah I know, I know. My mom suggested a long time ago that I come and live with them, But it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I actually decided to do it! and i'm not going to lie it has been pretty hard. I miss Jeff so much!! But trying to look on the positive side: I get to spend time with my family before I run off with my new life and start my own family. and I am using this time to better myself.
-Last Sunday my mom and I joined Weight Watchers!! ha ha I am hoping to loose 20 pounds before the wedding!! ( at least that's my new years goal!) So far it's been pretty good. I've stayed under my points for the day and I've been working out everyday. Now I just have to keep it up lol, Wish me luck!!
-About two weeks ago Jeff and I got our first apartment together! It is pretty nice for a first apartment and it has lots of extra space, which is very nice!! Jeff will be living there alone for the next two months, Poor boy.
-We also finished registering for our wedding! It was a lot of fun but whoo, i'm glad that is done!
So for now i'm just chillin with the family and planning my wedding! Plus looking for a job... I have to interviews this week, so that's good right?

If It Rains On My Parade, I'll Dance In It!
I am loving being back at snow college!! I am pretty sure that coming back was the right decision! I have made a lot of new friends and I have 5 awesome room mates! Who I absolutely adore!! They are so much fun to be around and they are all so happy and out going!
First there is Kylie (Ky) - she is on the drill team and super loud. All the time, you always know when she is home. She is always so happy!
Then there is Jodie (Jo) - she is so funny and always makes me laugh. She had dark brown hair but is a total blonde at heart!! She always just makes my day by saying something to make me laugh.
Then there is Bree' L (Bree) - she is also on the drill team and for the first week and a half I thought she was super quite and shy; but really she is not she is a lot like Jo and Kylie and she is so funny and super nice.
Down stairs there is Jayleen (Jay) - I have never met anyone with so much natural energy... but not only does she have tonz of her own energy, her mom gave her these natural energy pills that she likes to take which totally make her go off the walls. It is so funny to watch her dance around and laugh over who knows what she is talking about. She is so cute and nice!!
Then there is Roxanna (Roxy) - But I don't know her like at all. I NEVER see her... maybe like once a week... When she is walking around on campus. (Normally with her boyfriend) they are really cute together.
The 2nd week after I moved in there was a night that it was raining really hard so Jo,

Starting All Over . . . Again.
So as many of you know, and don't know. I will be attending Snow College this summer. I move in two weeks down to the apartments called Oak Tree, in Ephraim. I'm not really sure how I feel about this move, as most everyone knew I have been planning on returning to Southern Utah University. Which I was EXTREMELY excited for, but things happened and my parents changed their mind, so I will now be going to snow. I have to say I am not really excited for starting my life over all over again, this is my third semester of school, at my third school. And I will tell you as much as I hate having to start all over I am very glad that I have gotten the chance to go to different schools (this will be my 9th school I have gone to in my life), because I have met many wonderful people and I have a lot of friends from all over the world. And as cool as that is it is also really hard, cause I leave and don't normally see them again. So anyways, here I am about to start all over again for my third time... and I will be totally honest and tell you that the sooner it gets time for me to be moving the more excited I get. When I went down to get into the school and find a place to live and all that stuff, I met two girls that are both my age and they are total dolls!! and they showed me around and told me about everything that happens and about all the cute men. ha ha After hanging out with them all day I figured that this change was not going to be so bad. and that it all is going to depend on the attitude I have going into it. I sadly learned that the hard way, when my parents moved me home during the middle of my school year at SUU and sent me to the LDSBC, I was not very happy and all I could see was the bad in everything, It wasn't until I figured that I was stuck where I was and there was nothing I could do about it so I might as well just have fun while I'm here. and so that is what I am planning on doing when I move to snow, I don't really have a choice to go where I want to go, so I'm going to make the best out of being at snow.

What is my true eye color??
Blue
You are an exciting person, your eyes reflect your sheer love of life. You love having fun and being with friends, but you have a deep soft side.

WEEK FOUR!!!
Monday September 8th, So I realized that morning that I was going to have extra lunch because I was not going be in cedar for the weekend and I didn’t want to waste my meals so I texted my dear friend Breanna Tuttle, a girl I grew up with and was best friends with for a huge chunk of my life, well of course she came with Jacky and I and we had a great time catching up on tonz of stuff that was going on in our life’s! Well later that day she invited me to go to family home evening with her and her ward that night! I didn’t know what my ward was doing so I said yes and she told me to meet her at the church at like 5 or something like that. Well I thought that it would take me longer to walk there than it really did so I just went and sat on the grass by myself to wait until brea and her roommates got there to pick me up. Well when I was sitting there this random guy came and started talking to me. It was pretty cool because he was really cute and super funny and nice. Sadly I haven’t seen him since that night and I cant remember his name lol but maybe someday I’ll run into him again and I think that time I will get his number so I can ask him on a date! Lol
Tuesday September 9th BLOOD DRIVE!!! Yay!!! If you really know me you know that I love needles and blood! Yes I know that’s not very natural and you probably think it is gross but I just love it!! Well all my lameo friends down here in cedar are scared of needles so I just ended up going by myself! But even thought I was alone I still had fun and I meet some crazy cool kids. I also met one on my cousin’s (Cailie) friend! It was pretty crazy because she knew who I was but I didn’t know her. Weird. Anyways it was fun!!
September 11th, it was my uncle Alan’s birthday! And Nicole had her baby!!! Yay! I can’t wait until I can go and see her!!!
September 12th, after classes were over for the day Justin and I headed back to Salt Lake City yet again! But this time we took a detour and went to his best friend, Lance’s house. And from there Lance drove us up to salt lake. It was a pretty interesting drive. Lol, not even going to lie. I pretty much just sat there in the middle of the two boys and listened to them talk. Ha ha they make me laugh. Once we had got to salt lake we went over to Justin’s house because his mom wanted to meet me. Ah, lol just kidding she was really cute! And they gave me a tour of their new house. Very nice, and very big!!! And then after that they took me to my house were i went and changed my clothes to go to a football game. I was planning on going to the skyline football game and watch brad, vivanna, and Alex perform but it didn’t work out so I ended up going to my high school’s football game. It was a blast to get to see all of my old friends that are still in high school and all of the alumni that had come back to cheer on our high school team!! Good times!!!
Saturday September 13, this was the day I had been waiting a long time for!! HOMECOMING WITH BRAD!!! YAY!!! I had such a good time!!! Ha ha okay before I get to far into the dirty details of homecoming I have to tell you about my adventures that morning! It was quite the eventful day! Alright so I woke up at 6am and got ready to go and watch all of my cute little sisters and cousin in the fashion show. So everyone came over to our house and we started on our way well the car was almost on empty so my mom went to make a quick stop (because we were already running behind) well after we had filled up the mother ship with gas my mom got back into the car and started to go. Well she turned the wheel to hard and ended up running the side of our car into a bug red pole. Ha ha ha! So not only did this dent in the side of the car it also popped our tire!! Well lucky for us Noel and I knew how to change a tire and we had vivanna miss discount tires with us!!! Ha ha so we all climbed out of the car and got to work in our high heels and everything. It was really funny and I’m sure that the people driving by probably got a kick out of the sight of a bunch of girls in high heels changing a tire. Well after we had been working on if for a while this nice Mexican guy who didn’t speak English came and changed it for us. Well because we were running late we called my grandpa to come and get us and drive us down. But because he was planning on just driving back home to cedar right after the show he had me and vivanna take his car and he drove the rest of the girls down ha ha ha ha ha now if you have even seen my grandpa’s car then you will understand why this is so funny! Wow It’s just really hard to explain that work of art… let’s see the day we drove it, it had a mattress on the top and like a table tied down to the rear end of it! It was quite a sight. As my grandpa calls it’s a “gypsy car”. Ha ha my grandpa thought it was pretty funny that he was making us drive it! Well the fashion show was a blast. And after I drove my uncle’s car back to Michelle’s house and vivanna and I had fun taking pictures of her doing flips for my photography project. After that Noel came and picked me up and we went back to my house and got all sexy and hot to go on our day date with brad and chase! For our day date we went ice blocking! It was a blast but I am like really scared of it so I mostly just sat at the top of the hill and took pictures! Lol after that they took us home so that we could get ready for the dance that night! Noel did my hair and I thought it looked gorgeous!!! Once the boys had came and got us we went over to chase’s dad’s house and his parent’s and sister went with us to a construction sight to take our homecoming pictures! Ah can I just say that chase’s sister is so freaking cute!!! And is such and amazing photographer!!! I want to be as good as her someday!!! This is the link to look at my homecoming pictures!! They turned out so cute! (At least I think so lol) http://www.samanthastanton.com/homecoming/preview.html
And if you wanna look at her sight this is the link! It’s really cute!!!

After that we went to the olive garden for dinner but the wait was to long so we got our food to go and went over to chase’s mom’s house and ate there! It was a blast!! When we were done we went and met up with all of “the crazies” aka the Seegrist cousins Alex, Vivianna, Mandi, and Stewart. It was so much fun to be at a dance with all of them!!! And the dance was so much fun! After the dance we went over to brad’s house and ate ice cream and watched Mr. Dees. Hum I think that’s what it was called. But I ended up falling asleep on brad’s shoulder. And I was woken up to noel telling me that it was time to go. It was a great night!! Thank you brad for everything, your amazing!!
Sunday September 14, I went to church with my family and then drove home with Justin. That night because Justin was tired he had me drive and so I learned to drive a stick shift!!! yay
