words are powerful. word.

this semester i am taking a living prophets class...

it is the greatest class that i have EVER taken...

we have been studying our dear prophet for the past two weeks...

goodness sakes i cry every class because the spirit is so strong...

these quotes are ones that he has used in talks and i have now adopted them as motivation in my life...

"stick to the task till it sticks to you;

beginners are many, but enders are few.

honor, power place and praise

will come, in time, to the one who stays.

stick to the task till it sticks to you;

bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too;

for out of the bend and the sweat and the smile

will come life's victories, after awhile."

-author unknown

"it is easy to be pleasant,

when life flows by like a song,

but the man worth while is one who will smile,

when everything goes dead wrong.

for the test of the heart is trouble,

and it always comes with the years, 

and the smile that is worth the praises of earth

is the smile that shines through tears."

these are definitely quotes that i will be memorizing and taking with me wherever life takes me!

i am so grateful for a inspired prophet of the lord who finds so many ways to teach us to improve our life and continue pressing forward to the potential the Lord knows we have!

ramblings. because it has been a while.

after my last post life got craaaazy...or cray...whatever you are into saying these days.
the holidays came which brought lots of much needed family time, finals came between the holidays and then Grandpa passed away right after Chritsmas.

needless to say i was running around...more like driving to and from saint george...like a chicken with its head cut off.

i have lots to catch up on of course but this post is just a little something to keep me awake in accoutning. i don't think i slept very well last night because i can't keep my head up today.

the couple next to me keep making out. not kidding.
mr handsy cant keep his hands off mrs handsy and i now have an irritated twitch in my neck.
not sure how accounting brings those feelings out in people but to each his own i guess!

have i mentioned before that it is always negative below freeezzzzzing in this town?
yes, i know i have. but it is, and it is terrible so i will continue to say it!

however, i really love this town and am loving this semester so far!
seventeen credits at BYU is almost suicide but it keeps me busy and not worrying about things i can't control.....(like what if i get a mission call to somewhere that has lots of snakes....or is colder than provo.....kill me now.) (of course i am kidding about that....i know wherever i get called is where the Lord needs me!! And I will be happy about it....with lots of help through prayer if snakes are involved!)

tomorrow i am going to the circus with Emilee and Stephanie.
isn't it great when you make spectacular friends from your job??
i just adore my co workers.
the best part about it?
i am taking Brock's niece Brielle with us and you know what that means?
we now have a free ticket to act as excited as a two year old because we will have one with us!!
of course...we would have acted that way regardless but now people will maybe look at us less strange.

welp....i feel more awake now so back to paying attention in class i go!
