Monday....

So monday my cousins let from Arizona. I was sad, but I will see them next year I guess. but after that my grandpa took my family and I to the movies! WE got to go see Rimona and Beezus. I REALY enjoyed that movie. It was cute and VERY clean, there was NOTHING in it. I would give it 4 and 1/2 stars!!!! It's that good! My brother even liked it!! 
    After that we went to this really yummy California place called, "The Hat". Yummy! But that wasn't even the best part, after that we went to Rite-Aid and got the TWO LAST cartons of my favorite ice cream ever, Chocolate malted crunch!!!!!!!!!! I wish they had that ice cream in Utah!

Yesterdays 12 hrs

So yesterday we took a REALY long trip To California. It took atleaast 12 hours. With a 7 seat van and 7 people in my family it was REALY crowded. Well we have story's to tell. One of our things we've seen which is that We were rin STOP traffic for about 45 minutes. People were getting out of their cars and tried to see what was happening. It was about 101 degrees outside. No one could realy see what wazs happepning. All we could see was realy bad black smoke. Oncce the 45 minutes were up we drove by a burnt car. It had a trailer in the back of it the had not an even a smuge of black on it. Truley a maricle. And the guy who's car was on fire didn't hurt anything except his wrist! WOW!
                               We had a very long trip!
Oh and another very funny story, We had to go through an fruit checking place and It was hillarious becauase my mom was like yess, we do have apples, and so the guy wanted to see them. So my mom had to get the apples out, and the apples were on the bottom of everything, so it took like a lot of time for mom to find the apples!
Well I got to go, because we're going to the beach in a few minutes :)

Good Story...

So, Sister Allen gave the lesson in YW's today and read us this cool story she found. I really liked it so I wanted to share it with you. If you like something you usually share it right? Well actually not always but still here u go.

"A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.

He shook the jar lightly.

The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of juice from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

"The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions - things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, and your car.

"The sand is everything else-the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls."

The same goes for life.

"If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
"Play with your children.
"Take time to get medical checkups.
"Take your partner out to dinner.
"Play another 18.
"There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.
"Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter.
"Set your priorities.
"The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the drink represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.

"It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a friend."

Almost Gone...

This Summer is almost gone.  just a few more weeks left. So much has been done, and there is still much more to do. For me it seems like I had school just yesterday. The memories and feelings are still very clear. I c an still see me and my friend skipping down the hallway down to Mrs. Hancock's room during mentoring. I can still hear Mr.Nettlton teasing Josh, I have a lot of other very clear memories still in my head. 
I am excited to go back to school, but nothing is going to be the same. No Mr.Nettlton, No Shayn, No Mrs.Hancock, No Alyssa, No 7th grade, No Mr.Hancock, and more of the things that made the school year great aren't going to be there when I come back. 
What am I going to do? I guess I'm just going to take things one step at a time. To look on the bright side, I will still have Jourdan E. and Mr.Hull.... So a friend and a teacher... WOW don't like to think about it. But it's like half of me wants to stay, and the other part of me wants to go to Vista. Who knows, I guess I'll stay at Rockwell till it gets really bad...
I am so excited to smell those school smells. I miss tons of things.
Who knows what will end up happening though.
Well Love all of u!

D&C 90:24

In D&C 90:24 it says, 
"Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly and remember the covenant where with ye have covenanted one with another."
I really like this scripture. It reminds me that If we follow the commandments of God and are doing good everything will work out for our own good.
I love this scripture. When I am having a bad day I can just remember that Everything is going to be ok. 
So I am glad for this Promise that Heavenly Father has given me and you.
I love this church so much and am greatful to be apart of it. I am glad that I have the BOM, in my hand so I can read it and learn, And I know that every single thing in there is true, I have not a single doubt in my body. I am so grateful that I have a testimony of this church. I am grateful that Joseph Smith prayed to ask the lord which church was true. I know that If we have a question we can also go to the lord and ask him, and he will answer. 
I love you all. 

Camping!

Hey all,
Im going camping next week!
Monday Tuesday and we are leaving Wednesday.
I was sort of mad that we were going but once I found out we were going with the Ross's I was happy.
Ellie ross is my age, so it is nice 2 have her around while camping.
WE are staying in our own little tent, and probably not sleeping. We will stay up all night long watching movies,, playing games, and talking. FUN FUN FUN!!!
I am SO excited!

It's here then it's not

You never know what you have untill it is gone. Sometimes you do have an idea of what you have, but you don't some what fully know what you have untill it is gone. And sometimes you wish what you have right there would be gone, but when It is gone you wish it was back. You should be grateful for what you have. Don't take things for granted. You should be thankful for what you have, even your trials. Trials help us, and are the reason we are here. Trials help us learn a lot. It's like you wouldn't know what sweet tastes like if you've never tasted Bitter.
So back to what i was saying. 
I must say I'm not the best at seeing all I have, But this past year I think I have been better at it. Then when It's gone I really want it back, so I just hope that all of you try to see what you have.
I hope you sort of got what I said!
Love ya all!

Time...

Time is a very weird thing. It can go SO slow, or it can race by faster then light.
i don't always like how time works, sometimes I wish it would race by faster, and then once it does, I wish It would have gone by slower.
Don't dwell in the past, and don't always dream about the future (if you do you won't have one).But Don't get me wrong it's great top think about your future, but PLEASE don't do that 24/7!
We should all just enjoy where we are now, and take in every second. Because before we no it it's gone and over.
Just a random thought...
Love you all
