My Sad Attempt at Scrap Booking

Okay so you have to give me credit for trying. I have never been the arts and crafts girl, but I would like to scrapbook. I have old ticket stubs, receipts stuff like that, that I want to put into a scrapbook. So I need some tips! I know that some of you out there are really good at this kind of stuff. Help me out what can you tell a beginner who is not very creative?

Love You!

I found this pic while going throught some old pictures. This is a picture of our upstairs hallway. Aren't they the cutest! I really appreciate all they have done for me and all they continue to do for me. They are an amazing examples! I love you Mom and Dad!

Dinner Group

I am in a dinner group hereat school and for those who don't know what that is I will explain. There are nine of us in the group and we rotate cooking dinner for everyone. Every other Monday I cook dinner for the night of us and every Sunday through Tuesday we have dinner together at one of our apartments. I have really enjoyed being in thi group. It gives me something to eat and people to hang out with every night at six! Super fun!

Earrings

I got my ears pierced right before Christmas this past December. A little bit late in my life but better late than never is what I have found to be in this case. I had to keep my first pair in for 6-8 weeks so I have just started wearing new earrings! They are so much fun! These are a pair that my brother Cameron got me for Christmas. It snowed this weekend in Provo so I thought it was appropriate to wear these. Woohoo for being a girl!

Orange Flowers

These flowers made me so happy when I saw them in this great store at the mall here in Provo. And they were only $13! I had to buy them! They make me smile every time I walk by them to leave my room and go out the door.

Reading!

In the last month I have got into reading again. I guess all my mom's hard work of reading to us out loud as kids finally is paying off! One thing that really motivated me was a website my Aunt Kathy recommended called goodreads.com. Its a great way to track what books you have read and to remember which once you want to read next. Right now I am reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (after finishing Sense and Sensibility last week), The Happiness Project, Series of Unfortunate Events #3 (after finishing 1 and 2 last week), 10 Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives (should have read that years ago!), and the New Testement (after finishing the Book of Mormon last week). As you can see I have been doing a lot of reading but I am really loving it and it is keeping me busy! So if you have any good books let me know about them!

Manti Temple Trip

This Friday I went to the Manti temple with my visiting teacher Stephaine Yano and a friend of hers. We left about 7:00 in the morning and went to a 9:30 session. The temple was incredible! It was so grand! The rooms were big and the art was wonderful. I feel in love with this temple and decided that it is my favorite one. If you ever get the chance to go I wouldn't miss it!
