come ask me about it and it will probably turn into my testimony...:D
After math:
I worked
On Friday morning, I went to work.
Cleaning a stake center.
In Fillmore.
Just in case any of you don't know where Fillmore is, it's a place where I don't want to live.
Fillmore is so small, there are only pickup trucks and horses and buggies.
No joke.
On the way there, I was wedged in the middle of two boys I didn't know
The motel we stayed at was just as grand because it was the highest rated hotel in all of Fillmore.
......
I would have given it a one star rating. Or maybe that was giving it too much credit.
We got up the next morning after a no sleep night (because our motel room was an icebox) and we got to work cleaning again.
We cleaned
And cleaned
and cleaned even more......
until late afternoon WHEN WE WERE DONE!!!!! :D
we were supposed to stay the next night but we were finished (thank goodness)
On the way home, we played Life on a kid's ipod and , of course, i lost :P but it was super fun still.
I thought about what i am grateful for,
and i am grateful for a ton of things,
but for tonight, i am grateful for knowledge.
I am grateful for the knowledge that i get from school
I am grateful for the knowledge that i create from my own thinking
I am grateful for the knowledge that others have to create new things
I am grateful for the knowledge my parents have in order to teach me new things
I am grateful for the chance i get to go to school to gain a greater knowledge when others don't
I am grateful for my own knowledge of the gospel and that i have opportunities to share it with others
what are you grateful for? :)
Thanksgiving and Giving Thanks

So, today as i was having a special time to myself.
(taking a shower)
I thought about friends.
And let me just tell ya.
I have amazing friends. :)
I have friends who I can talk to and freak out with when there are guys involved in our lives.
I have friends who can make me laugh so hard that I bang my head on the bus seat.
I have friends that make me start to get misty eyed when I read lovely notes that remind me that I am loved.
I have friends that will never be forgotten.
On that note, let me remember those who have not been forgotten
because I will always remember a friend.
Why forget someone who made you happy
Who made you laugh
Who made you cry tears of happiness
Who made memories
So to those who have inspired me, who have been examples to me, who have been the best they can be
I say:
Thank you
Jessica:
thank you for your insane amazingness that leaves me in awe and tears every time I think about you. thank you for your words of "i love you" and "my amazing adopted sister", because those are words that make me feel happy. thank you for our wacky adventures, our deep conversations, our funny pictures, and for memories that will stick like glue in my brain and heart. :) thank you for our amazing walks to the Pink Shop and talking to me about Ham. hehe. thank you for your hugs and smiles that greet me everyday I come into school or from a class, especially when I'm having a bad day. I love you!
Kayla L.:
thank you for your loyalty to an amazing friendship. I remember you in Ms.Gadd's class walking in, probably pretty confused. I thought that you were so cool and I wanted to be your friend immediately. I remember jogging in P.E. with you, and inviting you to go ice skating with me for a YW/YM activity in my ward. I remember how cool your blue mascara was. :D thanks for being my twin! :) thanks for being such a dear when no one (okay, just me) doesn't have a lunch. Your so willing to give up something for the benefit of others. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! :)
Betsey P.:
thank you for being my Betsey-Loo. haha! just joshin'. thanks for your craziness also, and for your phone to make prank calls to certain no longer single spanish teachers. :) thank you for making everyone laugh and for taking intense situations into a joke. Thank you for making sure we all have code names for certain boys. ;) thank you for your laughs and stories that make my sides hurt.
Esther C.:
You are such a freakin babe that i am thanking you for being just that. :) thank you for always remembering my birthday and for always giving me a hug when you see me. :) it really makes my day! Thank you for all your smart-alec remarks that keep me rolling on the floor. thank you for everything that you do for me! :) i love you so very much girl.
Janelle A.:
:):):):) im going to start crying! what the heck!
really, thank YOU.
thank you so very, very much Nellie.
thank you for everything.
thank you for amazing elementary school years and junior high years. thank you for doing the most insane things with me. thank you for being the first person i emailed to when i got and email address. thank you for going with me to my first stake dance. thank you for making a really crappy Christmas nativity set with me in sixth grade. :) thank you for talking to me and standing up for me. thank you for knowing what is right and what is wrong. thank you for smiling. thank you for laughing. thank you for forgiving me when i messed up. thank you for walking with me in the rain storm after that one musical theater day. thank you for memories that i hold very dear to my heart. thank you for the tears that roll down my face, because like you, i like emotions too, because yeah, they do get in the way of life sometimes, but that is what makes life interesting. And happy tears are emotions that i think anyone can live with.
thank you again, and again, and again.

So for Halloween this year, its only my parents and I.
What we did?
We went to Red Lobster instead of trick or treating.
I would seriously take amazing seafood instead candy, just saying. :)
After that, we hurry and ran over to visit my grandma at the nursing home.
We talked and laughed an joked and made "hand-turkeys"on her whiteboard.
It was just grand, and I loved it.
But what I loved most was my grandma.
When we finally said that we had to leave, my grandma immediately spoke up and said, in a most kind way,
"Jess,(my dad), will you give me a blessing?"
My grandma is almost 90 years old, has Alzheimer, but still remembered her Heavenly Father and the priesthood.
So my dad went to her chair, laid his hands on her head, and gave her a blessing. During the blessing, he said that her Heavenly Father loved her and was proud of the greatness she did in her life. I was crying during the blessing/prayer because of the Spirit that i felt was incredibly strong and I knew that my Heavenly Father loved not only my grandma, but me. I love my grandma and her example that she is to me. Her smile after the prayer was gorgeous, but the light in her eyes and the glow of the gospel radiated throughout the room and into my heart, making a permanent crater in it that glowed with such warmth that I cried even harder.
I love my grandma with all my heart. :) ♥
Then yesterday night, I went and hung out with Jessica and Kayla.
And we screamed, laughed, and I almost peed my pants. :D
We sort of watched Pride and Prejudice because Jessica had never seen it before.
But with the "sort of", we more talked then watched.
So we got bored, hurried and skipped to the kissing scene at the end of the movie so Jessica could see it :D and put in Super Mario Brothers.
Screaming was more entertaining than the game.
After a while we got bored of that and put in Just Dance.
I whipped and creamed everyone's butt. >:)
It was TONZ of fun and then it started to snow as we were driving home. I was super happy!
I wake up, there is a little snow on the ground :D and christmas music is on the radio.
You seriously cannot wake up to a better morning. :) so now I can legally talk about Christmas! so beware everyone.... :)
