Mother nature also brought me a lovely present on my birthday, I could have done without. I thought this was a hillarious video and exactally how I feel about my period lol. Enjoy!

Elder Joey Brown

Joey and I outside the Nauvoo Temple last year when I went on his family vacation with him. I can't believe that was a year ago, almost exactly.

Tomorrow Joey leaves America for his mission in London England at 1:30ish. He'll be going to the England MTC in Preston England, the same one my brother went to 8 months ago.

Joey and I have known each other for a long time and I'm gonna miss that kid a lot.

I went to his ward this last Sunday and he spoke about what he did to prepare to be a missionary and it was great! Of course studying scriputres and using his "Preach my Gospel" manual and going to seminary helped him a lot, but what really allowed him to make it to this point is repentence and being able to be forgiven. He talked about how great a thing it was that Christ died for us so that we could repent when we made mistakes. Also he said that we all need to prepare to be a missionary cuz we all need to be a missionary in our own lives and let the people you love and see everyday know what you believe in.

Since my brother Cody has left to devote 2 whole years to the Lord and now that Joey is too i am going to try harder to be a "missionary" I know what i believe in is the truth and how happy i am knowing it! I want others to feel this way especially the ones close to me that i love.

I said Goodbye to Joey Sunday after he spoke. I didn't think that was gonna be the last time i saw him but it was. Its hard to say goodbye. so hard.

A friend told me about this website if you have any missionaries you want to write and it's called http://www.dearelder.com/ and you can write letters to your missionary on the site and they print it, stamp it, and mail it for you! all you gotta do it pay for the postage! I can't wait to use the site for Joey and my brother

I know Elder Joey Brown is going to be a GREAT AMAZING FANTASTIC missionary.. he's going to change so many peoples lives. Well actually Christ's gospel and the spirit are going to change their lives but Joey is going to open that doorway! He has a very big heart and a strong testimony. I'm proud of him and i look up to him.

If you read this before tomorrow Joey, I love you and I know you're gonna be great!

BUTCHERED!

One quality about myself that i would change is that I'm VERY impatient and sometimes it bites me in the butt.

i wanted to get my hair TRIMMED and layered some just to get rid of the gross split ends. so i called Valerie, the woman who cuts my hair normally. If i wanted her to do it i would've had to wait another week and a half SO i decided to trust my hair with a new girl that has worked at Valerie's Salon for a week... bad bad bad choice.

I got there and to my surprise the "new girl" went to my high school and graduated right before me! i was so nervous and stupid to put my precious long curly hair in her inexperienced hands.

This is how it turned out... :( after an hour and 45 minutes this is the damage. She couldn't even straighten my hair. What kind of stylist can't straighten hair??

Shayna was supposed to get hers cut right after mine, but we got the heck out of there before she could do any more damage. I put on a fake smile but as soon as i was out the door i was almost in tears. It wasn't cut evenly at all across the bottom and i had two chunky "shelf-layers" probably one of my most saddest moments ever when i got home and looked in the mirror.

Right after my visit to a mirror i ran straight to Mica's Salon. I HAD to get it fixed right then!! Luckily i caught her right before she was leaving and she cut it for me. Evened out the bottom, blended the layers, thinned, and gave me some bangin' swoop bangs! It's about 5 inches shorter than my original plan but it looks alright and hair grows...



This is my hair super super curly! The short layers make my curls rock out and it's great!! I was kinda scared the first morning i woke up with the curly hair with this new cut.. it was so big!!

I GOT TO LEARN SOME PATIENCE!

STRESSSSSSED!

I hate the end of semesters! Its getting closer and closer till finals so all my professors are piling on the work! I wonder if they like get together and laugh at us, the students, while we squirm to get everything done?!

I only have classes on MWF so i only have 6 days left that I have to take that drive to ASU Beebe. On these last 6 days I have to

• Turn in Ch. 4 access homework (hate this program)



• Turn in a 12 slide powerpoint about anything (not too bad)



• Study my butt off for A&P Cranial Nerves, Autonomic Nervous System, and Spinal Cord



• Memorize all 65 different muscles in the human body where they are and their action



• Get ready for a test on access



• Sociology final (probably the only one I'm not freaking out about)



• English research paper (with a new teacher and new style. RIP Dr. Jackson)



• English final



• A&P final



• Micro. Apps final



• Concepts of Fitness (online) final

AHHHHHHHHH.... I really just wanna scream.

Yesterday I got to go fishing with my Dad and sister and that helped me relieve some stress.. Oh and I have the best Dad in the world who put all the crickets on my hook and got the fish off for me! He's great :)

Time Out For Women!

My Mom, Grandma, Aunt Lorrie, and Aunt Malinda went to Time Out for Women this weekend it was great

It was friday night and all day saturday in Memphis at the Mariot hotel that was probably the most fancy one i've stayed in

Jenny Oaks Baker is an amazing violinist who played throughout the first night

Then Sheri L. Dew was supposed to be there but she was in Africa taking tons of books to the people there, but she had a video she made for us.

Then John Bytheway spoke. He is one of my favorite speakers, he has a great way of reaching out to the youth. Most of his talks are for them. We bought several of his talks on CD and i got him to sign my copy of his talk "Jesus Know I'm a Christian" and i got a picture :)

After it was over friday night we went out to dinner on Beale St. and ate at Blues cafe or some place like that. This was after we drove around for a while trying to find anywhere with our stupid GPS. Beale St. was fun there was loud music, lots of people, and people stomping and poppin in the street. Lets just say I was having fun but Grandma was kinda uncomfortable so we left shortly after eating.

The next day started early at 9 am. Hillary Weeks is an LDS singer that sang several songs between speakers and told a few stories, she's so amazing and had touching songs that I will be downloading shortly.

The first speaker was Emily Watts. She spoke a lot about motherhood which I haven't experienced yet so it was like an inside joke that I wasn't let in on lol it was good.

"Do you ever have moments when you think that the entrance to motherhood ought to have a sign proclaiming, “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here”? With her trademark combination of stories and insights, Emily Watts shows just how much there is for moms to hope for (sign not included)."

Then it was Michael Wilcox, he knows so much about the scriptures.

"Though some may believe hope is a gift we either have or don’t have, Michael believes hope is something we create consciously. And he has the scripture stories to back that up. You’ll discover that hope becomes the natural emotional consequence of living key gospel principles."

Mariama Kallon was my most favorite speaker of the whole weekend. Her story is so great and her testimony is so strong, it really touched me.

"Raised in war-torn Sierra Leone, Mariama Kallon saw many things as a young girl that might fill a person with fear and hatred. Soon after witnessing the violent murders of parents and siblings and spending her youth fleeing from rebels, she was introduced to the gospel of Jesus Christ and found hope in God and peace in a knowledge of eternal families. She was given a humanitarian kit by the Church, which became a treasured symbol of hope that she used to bless the lives of many as they again fled for their lives. After returning to her town, she was called on a mission to the Salt Lake City Temple Square Mission, and wept in gratitude to the Lord as she visited the place where her precious humanitarian kit was made. Today Mariama stands as an example of the divine purposes of humanitarian work and tells her story to numerous audiences, urging them to participate in this work. She currently resides and works in Salt Lake City, where she has attended LDS Business College."

Mom and I got to go up and talk to her for a minute afterwards and got a picture.

Then Amanda Dickson spoke. She was hillarious crazy woman.

"How many times have you heard the phrase: “Don’t get your hopes up.” Well, there’s none of that here. Low hopes never helped anyone! We want you to get your hopes UP—and keep ’em way up there. Amanda believes in changing what you hope for and believing hope can change you. "

Last was Mary Ellen Edmunds. She's a funny lady in her 70s who laughs at her own jokes lol

"We know some of you know that song—you know, the one about the ant? Really? You don’t? Well, then, you are in for a treat. MEE has been learning about resilience: how to get it, how to keep it, and what to do with it. And she’s sharing life lessons from her own personal journey. "

Time out for women was a great fun and spiritual experience for me and i enjoyed going so much with my family :) I love yall!
