fires!!!

So this post is a lil different but I wanted to post about it because it's where i used to live and its a lil scary cuz i have friends that still live there.

It's normal for Cali to have fires during this season but not normal for it to be so close to home!

This is in acton. I lived in Palmdale which was about ten to fifteen mins away if that. This picture is takin from my friends house!! Look at that orange sky!


Thats from her backyard

And again.

As far as i Know they were packing up stuff today just incase they had to evacuate. You're in our prayers!!

Also another fire that is closer to home is the New Harmony fire. I was driving in cedar last night and saw this huge cloud of smoke! Kinda scary!

Some fun Projects!

So this weekend has been pretty boring all my roommates left and friends went home so a few days ago I went to the DI to find some stuff to fix for our living room! I haven't done it all but I worked on a couple yesterday out of boredom haha so I'm pretty proud of them :] The look how i thought they would!!

Project #1
Im very mad I didn't take a before picture of this...but just imagine ugly brown wood and a funky cross stich in the frame part.

What i did was sanded the brown wood, then painted it black tore up some scrapbook paper made that into a bird than modge podged the whole thing!!! After that while i was at the DI i found a chalk board the same size as the frame so i glued that in where the cross stich used to be!!

All Done! :]


Project #2

For this one I did take before and after pictures but....i did them with my phone and they look like crap so....imagine a styrofoam ball, a green wreath. I then cut up the wreath and glued them to the stryofoam ball. After that I sanded a pencil wraped some more green wreath around it stuck that green stryofoam crap and wraped some brown twine around it!!

All done :]

a down post....

"I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.......I have no complaints about my path and the places it has taken me; enough complaints to fill a circus tent about other things, maybe, but the path I've chosen has always been the right one, and i wouldn't have had it any other way. Time, unfortunaltely, doesn't make it easy to stay on course."



Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook.



When i first read "The Notebook" I read this part and I loved it. Its such a simple quote but has so much meaning to me. I by the way love this book and the movie and I think its such a wonderful love story. I know life doesn't work like it does in the movies but this quote is just so amazing. It teaches us that life is hard and that it does have it's up and downs but its those up and downs that make us who we are and that for that we shouldn't complain about them we should be grateful for them. It's so true how time does make it hard to stay on course. We always have set plans and goals for our lives but sometimes time gets in the way. We are so busy trying to get to the next step or finishing or getting over with something that we forget to cherish the moments that gets us to the next step. (I hope this is making sense). I don't want to be one of those people that lives their whole life being angry. I want to be like this quote. I want to live life to its fullest and have fun. Life has its quirks and its road bumps but honestly that what makes it so exciting, and amazing!! Also, Heavenly father trusts us to know that we will get over them. Oh how wonderful it is to know that we have that rock, that strong gospel and someone always there. And to know that he put these things here that make us joyful and happy! I realize that I have never put my testimony on my blog and that makes me feel sad. My testimony is hard for me to say out loud or to other people. I used to share it all the time on sunday but now its like im so scared to get up infront of people to say it. I dont know if its because I am scared or if its because my testimony is something that is so sacred to me that I cant share it.....if that makes sense. However, tonight I want to share my testimony with all of you wonderful people that read my blog.



*just a warning....Im not going to edit it at all im just going to type as it comes so if it doesnt make any sense Im sorry....*



The church is true, i used to say that all the time but I dont think until recently did I really know with all my heart that what i was saying was true. What a wonderful father in heaven we have to bless us with such a wonderful gospel. I cant even begin to explain how much i love this church, and my heavenly father...I love him so much. I know without a doubt that he is there for me that when i'm so low and upset and feel like nothing get worse that he is there for me every step of the way. That he loves me no matter what and always will. He is my advocate and my savior. Im so grateful for that. Im so grateful for the scriptures and that I am able to feel the spirit everytime i read them and know that what i am reading is meant for me. I love how the gospel reaches out to your heart and never lets go. I love that we can have families that last forever and that someday when i find that one person that is my best friend and love my life that I can be with him forever and ever. I love the feeling you get just looking at the temple and knowing that the lord dwells there and its his house. I can't wait to go inside someday! I am grateful for the atonement and the sacrifice that Jesus gave so that we can return to our heavenly father and have a second chance, and a chance to repent and be forgiven. What a loving savior we have that will never give up on us. Thats what i think i love the most is knowing that he will never give up on us even when we give up on ourselves. I love that there is a plan that we arent just down on this earth for no reason that we have a reason for being here. I also love how its a plan of happiness. How could you not know the gospel is true with that???!! Who doesnt want to be happy!? I want to be happy all the time and with the gospel i know I can!! I am so grateful for my family and my friends and knowing that they care about me :]. I just love this gospel and I love knowing its true!!



Hopefully that made sense.



Hope everyone has a great night!

Anywho the reason why im posting WARPED TOUR was this last weekend!! I went for the first time last year and it was awesome but this year was sweet too!!

We (Kelsie, sarah and I) started our great time thursday evening after i got off work and headed out towards cedar city.

Sadly we didnt get any pictures of that I tried but they didn't think it was smart haha So no pictures :(....for now haha...

Once we reached cedar we picked up Sarena and met Ashley and Friend at Maggie Moos :] MMMM YUM!! What a great dinner!! We all laughed a ton! You can never not laugh with ashley and her crazy random stories haha. After that we headed over to Walmart where i invested in Modge Podge (spelling???). I recently found my newest favoritest website its http://cuegly.blogspot.com/!!!! You have got to check it out i just love it there!! Anywho we then went back to sarenas and attempted to watch a movie however as much as we tried we just couldnt stay awake and well I couldn't follow the dang movie either just was kinda boring :( bleh!

While we were there i wanted to check out Sarena's apartment cuz they didn't have a girl to fill the extra room it was really really nice but just wont work out this year maybe next year :]

However i got a crazy pic of kelsie as seen above i think she had stepped on something?? haha

The next morning around eight we headed out!! We got up early cuz we had lots of shopping to do!! WOOOT!!! The first place we went to was platos closet!! I had never been there but kelsie needed some jeans so we stopped there

After that we finally made it to the motel where we checked in! We didn't stay put for very long though because we had more shopping todo!!

Me and Kelsie had a blast shopping idk if the other girls did but we sure did!! I think i finally found my shopping buddy, Kelsie!! haha. She got some
