"Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal." - William Penn


(Yes, swiped from the front page of HP 7. deal with it.)


Kelle has now been in the MTC for a week! Yikes! I just sent her a little card today. I'm sure she's rockin' it 218 style over there.

Once upon a time, many years ago (sort of) we all six of us were freshmen together in Provo. This is a mini reunion picture.

Wow. So it looks like I'm just going to be sappy-capital for the moment. 

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind be always at your back,

The sun shine warm upon your face,

The rains fall soft upon your field,

And, until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Kim, Jenna, I swiped all of your pictures. Thanks!

This is me being a good companion already and going with Mikelle to the front door while she says goodbye to a BOY. I was right there. The whole time. That's right. I don't mess around.

... And I believe Kimmy is dancing. Like usual.

Love you, love you.

This is just a little snapshot personification of life. In this photo, Mikelle was just made a missionary, Jenna is getting married in April, I am already pro at the thumbs-up-missionary thing (oh boy), and Kimmy is upset with us all for fleeing the state. 


Mikelle, in 18 months when you read this - Hurrah for Israel!

a shout out...

To some of my people:

To Madre:
My mother is starting her new job today! She will be the best ever. I love her and am so grateful for her.

To my girl Kimmy Lane:
I love you so. Anytime you want a cupcake, a slumbah, or anything else under the sun, I'm here for you!

so...

I know that I really have something better/more important/including pictures to post about
buuutttttt
that's a little too big for me to process right now.
So I'm going to post about my greatest great love for this cute cute cutest:

guys! he is so cute and so sweet! I just saw the movie and I am beyond convinced.

A) He is a prodigy. 100% so talented. I am for real.

B) He is so nice to his mom, his crew, and his fans. So so sweet.

C) He is legit jail bait... and while I don't love him in such a way, I see where you're coming from, Selena Gomez. 

D) I just want him to stay away from the corrupting influence of Miley Cyrus. Stay pure JB.

E) He is so little!!! What a cute little skinny kid, I just love him. 

F) People, my Biebsy is legit. In every way.

I loved the movie. That is the basic bottom line. love him.

"Trumpeted from the summit of Calvary is the truth that we will never be left alone nor unaided, even if sometimes we may feel that we are..."

"...May we stand by Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in, even until death,” for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death and when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone. "

so cool...

I'm not old enough to play baseball or football. I'm not eight yet. My mom told me when you start baseball, you aren't going to be able to run that fast because you had an operation. I told Mom I wouldn't need to run that fast. When I play baseball, I'll just hit them out of the park. Then I'll be able to walk.

VICTORY!

Guys, I am successfully 
CRUSHIN'!
On a fella that, lets be honest, am I ever going to lay eyes on again? He came in to work. And 
ahhhh, fluttering heart, flushing cheeks, weak knees.
But I didn't get to flirt with him! 
STUPID kid in front of him had to make a payment. Even though Jessica tried to take a long time, she was finished before I was finished, and so... goodbye my almost lover.


Additionally, feast on the BIEBS!!!!! + Rascal Flatts

Just a few of my favorite LOVE quotes. In honor of February 14

"Would that I could love the best of men as tenderly as God loves the worst..."

"Twas not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart,

Twas not my lips you kissed, but my soul."

-Judy Garland

"From their eyelids as they glanced dripped love."

-Hesoid

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

"I met in the street, a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat was threadbare - there were holes at his elbows; the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul"

-Victor Hugo

 (as you might have guessed, this is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite quotes. ever.)
