9

I love mornings that I wake up and there  is light streaming in through my window (even if it is grey skies outside like today)  I recently decided that instead of being grumpy about having to wake up that I should be excited that I have the chance to have another great day.  So far it's working out great.

anywho

Day 12! A picture of something I love  (I can't believe I was skeptical about this being a challenge, It is so difficult to choose just 1 thing that I love)

This is my Family. 
All of us.
It used to just be my mom and I with 6 boys
NOW I have TWO sisters.  How lucky am I?
I even have a Nephew (who is the cutest kid in the world)
and hopefully I will have little Asian Nieces and Nephews soon...please?... ;) ? 

I totally already used this quote... but Its my favorite.
"Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth "You owe me" look what happens with a love like that, it lights up the whole sky!"- Hafiz

this is why the glass is half full

Church rocks my socks! Today we talked about seeing the good in people and every part of life and also being happy.  In relief society we had a discussion about a talk that pointed out that the more we suffer, the greater our capacity to feel happiness.  Realizing this brought me a lot of comfort. Think about it.  "Trials are mandatory, Misery is optional" Looking back at some of the trials I have had I know that because of them I am stronger and can feel happier for everything I am given.

Day 10 = a picture of something I hate (more like strongly dislike)

GROSS

My face hurts from smiling

Today is such a good day!...why?
There is no particular reason. WHICH is my favorite kind of good day.

  • I listened to Elvis while I made lunch with my favorite apron on
  • Read my scriptures :)  (40 pages left of my BOM)
  • listened to some talks
  • laughed my face off with Kara and Casey
  • cleaned our garage
  • Talked to a cute boy on the phone
I have not done much... But I just feel happy.  I really like this life thing, I think I will keep at it.



Day 10: A picture of the person I do the craziest things with

There is a tie...
This is Tamra Nelson and Whitney Floyd.
As you can see they are in cuffs..
Need I say more?
Also in this picture you may notice that they are dressed like they are about to rob someone...
Just saying.  thats really apple juice.
thas all

I LOVE THEIR GUTS! 
I can not even believe how much I love these girls 

"Liven, Lovin, Laughin, thats what I be doin"

Why did the easter egg hide?


(He was a little chicken)
Day 9 = A picture of the person who has gotten me through the most
This is Daniel.  My Best friend/Little brother

He is always willing to hang out with me
To listen to me talk to him whether I am happy or sad
Always is patient with me
Never gets annoyed when I am singing my heart out and dancing in the car
We have gone through the hardest trials together
Always forgives me when I am grumpy
Sets an AWESOME example for me always
Is supportive of me (He even reads this blog everyday)
Knows everything about me and still likes me:)

Jeeze the Wheeze Daniel Perry you are to legit to quit

"One of the great tragedies we witness almost daily is the tragedy of men of high aim and low achievement. Their motives are noble. Their proclaimed ambition is praiseworthy. Their capacity is great. But their discipline is weak. They succumb to indolence. Appetite robs them of will." -Gordon B. Hinckley

I am feeling Jolly

Day 8 = A picture that makes me laugh

Same Girl
Similar Activity
Both moments we couldn't breathe from laughing so hard


Naturally I laugh just looking at these pictures.

I believe in instant karma

Day 7: A picture of my most treasured item




Not to be super typical...but! I really do treasure my scriptures! I spend quality time with them everyday.

Also on my night stand are a few other items that deserve a shout out.  My journal, a National Geographic National Parks book (slowly making my way through it. and I recommend it!) Preach my Gospel.  And my gangs wrist band. (please don't kick me out for not wearing it at this very moment)




"When the time comes for you to sacrifice for which you believe, will you have the faith to make the sacrifice? Will you commit to do anything the Lord asks, even if it means putting aside lifelong goals?"


this quote ALWAYS makes me stop and think.  Initially I always tell myself that I will do anything the lord asks and make any sacrifice I have to...  But what about the things that I have planned for my life?  I know that sometimes and someday I will have to sacrifice the "good" things in my life for the "great" things.  So I just pray that when I am older and wiser that I can have the perspective to recognize whats good and whats great.

Thas All

Monday

Today was the first day of lessons for the month MEANING that there are a lot of new faces.  Usually little kids are very apprehensive, but! one little kid today kept calling me over finally when I could pay attention to him he said... "Miss Teacher.... you are beautiful" 
favorite student award to him!!!

Day6! A person that I would trade places with for a day.

I would trade with George Klein, Elvis Presely once said "George will be my friend forever".  And he was! George was friends with Elvis until the end.
