Little Piggy.

My bro in law and I were on the computer today and we found this. I died. This is the cuttest little thing that I've ever seen. He sounds like those squeaky shoes that every little asian had as a child (including myself).

Someone find me one of these cause I want one to take around with me! Thanks.

Fall break.

So it's fall break. I'm sitting in snow hall...watching my little sister slave away to make some food. It's really quiet and I feel awesome cause this is what I'm doing for my fall break. I can't wait to see what else this weekend will entail.

Party on.

The simple things.

Today I was talking to my best friend about the simple things. The simple things in life are the things that we should be grateful for! These are the things that we should be living for. Simple things like being alive. Being able to breathe. The ability we have to walk, see, hear, touch. Being able to hug, say I love you, and share love to someone in need. Seeing someone's smile. Going to bed in a warm place. Fall leaves. Visiting family. Dating. (Yes, i said dating. It's suppose to be fun!) Playing with your pet. Watching a sunset. Wearing your favorite outfit. Laughing with friends. It's all suppose to be fun. Life is suppose to be fun! We are meant to have a good life here and because of this simple things we can. Call me a creep. But my other friend mentioned this blog to me the other day. "1,000 Awesome things". Someone is posting about 1,000 simple awesome things that make them happy. I don't know them but the things that they ahve to say seem pretty sweet. Check it out.

Things I wanted to steal.

I've never been tempted to steal until this weekend. I found these things...and I want them!



 
Went to my cousins house this weekend, saw this on the counter, thought it was the cuttest halloween decoration, almost stole it.


 Saw this 82 yr old gma holding a honk for peace sign. She was so cute I wanted to stop and steal her. (..i honked)



 Saw this on campus, stopped to take a pic, thought about stealing...walked away.

An open face.

Today. Was. Stressfulllll!! There usually are a few things that go wrong everyday. But no. This was not one of those days. This was like sweating cause you’re running back and forth and then swearing in your head cause you forget about something else...It’s almost hilarious how many things went wrong. Listen.

- I accidentally slept in this morning instead of studying for my accounting quiz
-I had to have Caisie drop me off at school cause I almost missed my quiz
-I realized my homework was left at home so I needed to go get it
-Remembered I didn’t have a car on campus so I had to arrange a ride home
-Once I got home I noticed I hadn’t even FINISHED my homework (this is where it gets pathetic)
-Also remembered I had a quiz in my second class that was in 20 minutes
-Had to park in the gay tsc parking that makes you pay or else I would have missed my second quiz…

AGHHHH! What a stressful morning! Mostly all my fault but still. I was not having it today. And then something happened. My professor said something to me. She was lecturing about oral presentations and was talking about how we should present ourselves. Mainly about having an "open face" because having an open face allows other people to see that you are a friendly person and that you are open to communication. And then she pointed me out. She told the class how every day, she would look at me and notice that I had an open face. That I was always alert and listening to what she had to say. She said that if she was having a bad day, she could look at me and realize that her was teaching ok and that some people were actually paying attention. So after class I went up to her to thank her for the comment. Then she said something that meant more than she knows. She said that everything she had told the class was true and that’s why I was probably such a great dancer. She knew that I was a dancer but hadn’t realized that I was doubting myself and my abilities with dance. (i know, us dancers...so unstable) Doing all the choreography for the HOWL has stressed me out to the point where I constantly get anxiety every time I think about it. I've been discouraged with myself which has made me consider quitting. Finally quitting after 18 long years of dance. I wanted to quit and never do it again. But how could I give that up? How could I give up something that I’ve loved for that long. That simple phrase made me think. Throughout today, I’ve thought about what she said and I realized that it wasn't just a coincidence that she said that to me. I needed that and I am truly blessed in the most simple ways. So it all started from having an open face.

Life is good again.

Can I just say I loved this weekend?! One, I was not stressed at ALL! (which honestly says something-great weekend) and two, I spent the weekend with people I loved the most and was able to hear lots of inspiring things. Conference. What a beautiful thing. And the funny thing is that conference comes just at the perfect time. It's just in time for when I'm about to give up on life. BUT, I was able to get a few good things out of this weekend. I just need to remember these things:

Elder Uchtdorf: "Satan deceives us through discouragement. But what matters to Jesus is that we are doing the best that we can. If we do the best we can, all will be well." 

"The most powerful being of the universe loves you. He sees you as his child. He sees you as the individual that you are deisnged to become."

Carl B. Cook: "Now remember, its better to look up" -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

"Let us remember him and not hang down our heads."

Thomas S. Monson: "Nothing will bring more peace to our souls, if we keep the commandments and have the spirit."

"Inspiration and guidance are gifts that he freely gives us as long as we seek them."

"Remember the Lords promise, to those that trust in him, fear thou not, for I am with thee. I am thy god, I will strengthen thee and hold thee."

"Realize how close to us he is, how far he will come for us."

Great right?! Conference just puts a smile on my face. Especially Pres. Monson. He is the man! "Hello!" Like seriously, what a cutie. I'm so grateful to have this amazing gospel in my life. It truly shapes me into who I need to be.

I took Kuma on a perfect fall night walk. I was slightly late for the sunset but I still saw some sweet things! I love the clouds in this pic.

Oh and I made those cinnamon goodies from scratch. Nbd. Just pounded the dough and erraythang. I was sort of proud of myself. Kuma was even hungry for them!

Spent the day with this crazy girl. Love her more than she knows. Singing at the top of our lungs, voices cracking, laughing so hard we cant talk about how bad we are at singing. We tried to support the Aggies while surrounded by 50 thousand BYU old people fans. It was fun. Oh and downed delicious salads from Costa Vida. What up. 

So all in all...I had a perfect weekend. Thanks friends and fam!
