To The Lady Who Tried To Tell Me Who To Date,

To The Lady Who Tried To Tell Me Who To Date,

First off I want to start with saying that you don't really know me. You can't get to fully know someone in less then an hour. Yes I am a cute fun loving girl, with a great personality but honestly I don't need you telling me who to date. I am perfectly happy with who I am dating and I would not do anything to change that. I wouldn't leave him at all. I am completely happy with him. He has been bringing out the best in my. He understands me. He's the first guy who does not want to hurt me would never try to do anything to hurt me. There is so much about him that I love. I would never leave him or hurt him. I know you kept telling me your son is young and "attractive" but you don't know what type of guys I am into. You said he is 19 and that he would be perfect for me. You don't know perfect for me. Each person has a different perfect. Honestly I don't date younger guys or guys around my age cause of how immature they are. Those guys tend to think they are hot shots when they are not. Every guy I have dated that was in that age range has hurt me and didn't care that they did. I honestly don't care that you mentioned that his girlfriend just broke up with him and that you want him to have someone. That is NOT the type of person I am. I am NOT the girl who goes in right after a break up just to be used and dumped. That is one thing I will never do. I value myself and my feeling's to much to put myself in that situation. The fact that I told you that I am happy with the guy I am dating and you ignored me and kept on trying to get me to break up with him to be with your 19 year old son who you stated is immature really offended me. It showed me that you can't stand to see your son single and that you just want him married off that way all 5 of your kids are married off really offended me. The fact also that you told me you forced your son to get his Pharmacy Tech degree so he could be a pharmacist while you force him to go to college really is not the type of family I want to have in my life. I believe children are free to make their own choices even if that means NOT going to college. From the moment you met me you tried to control my life and that is not okay with me. I am my own person. You do not know my past or what my goals in life are. I know you probably will not read this and I am okay with that as long as you try to not control my life at all. It is my life. I will make my choices. I will continue to be with who I am with. He makes me happy and there is so many things about him that I love. I wish you the best in life and hope that reality does catch up to you in due time.

Sincerely,
The girl who makes her own life choices

Good Feelings :)

Some of you know...some don't....but there is someone who i'm absolutely crazy about. For those of you who know who he is...I'm sure by now you can name his name. There is so much about him that I just love. He has a great personality. I just love how he acts, that he is different from all the other guys out there. There is something special about him. I can't sit here and name every single qualities that he has that I love but I sure can name a good amount of them. He has many of the qualities that I want in a guy. The fact that he shows respect. He also isn't pushy like most men out there. He has brought so many things out in me that I have hidden away. I love that he is able to do that. He brings out the good in me. I haven't meet a guy before who was able to do this. One who just makes me happy. Happy to hear his name. Happy to see his face. Just happy in general. He's one that is always on my mind. No matter what I am not able to take my mind off of him. I love that. I feel like I can be myself around him. That I could trust him completely from the moment I first met him. For those of you who know me know that this isn't an easy thing for me to do. I know he is different then most guys out there. I love that. I could honestly just go on for hours talking about him. All the great things about him and how he is just amazing. Just being around him makes my heart start to pound. I feel like I'm in a whole different world. One where nothing matters but what currently is going on. It's so nice. I love that feeling. I can't wait to see what the future brings. I know things are going to be great in life and that they are starting up.

Life...Changes...Hurt...

It's been awhile since I've posted on here. There's been A LOT going on in my life. So much that I'm just getting to a breaking point now where emotionally I'm finding it hard to carry on. Yes life is better then it has been in the past. I am happier then I was before but there is so much going on now that I'm just not sure what to think of it all.

Yes I do have a new job and I quit the horrible place that I was working at before. I am now working as a cashier at Walmart and I am loving it. I have made some great friendships there. Also developed a real crush for someone. But yet there is just so much going on that is emotionally over whelming me.  It has nothing to do with the friends I have made that I have built a great friendship with. It's more so with this one guy who hasn't gotten the hint or even the word no. He hasn't quiet understood yet that I don't want what he wants. Yes he keeps trying to push himself on to me. No I am not comfortable with this. Yes I have tried to tell him. No he doesn't listen. Yes I feel like he stalks me at times. Yes he keeps grabbing me. Yes I have punched him in the face. No I do not want anything to do with him. I want to keep away from him. Yes I have tried to tell him to be just friends. No he hasn't gotten it through his head. Yes he keeps doing things to me that make me very emotionally confused. Yes he has hurt me emotionally. Yes I want to break his face. No I won't do it unless I have to. Yes I do feel like he is ruining any chances of me being with any other guy. Yes there is another guy who I am crazy about. Yes he tries to keep me away from him. No I can't avoid him no matter how much I try. Yes I do try to avoid him. There is just so much going on that I really don't know what to think and am finding it hard to process everything in my mind. There is a guy who I am crazy about and really want to get to know better but I feel like I'm being held back because of the guy who won't leave me alone. I really want things to work out with the guy I'm crazy about. He seems to be an amazing guy. I'm at a point in my life where I have great things in front of me but there is things that are trying to hold me back and keep me from getting those great things and no matter how hard I try there is a piece of rubber holding me back and not letting me get to those great things in life. There are so many things going on in my life that I want to let out but I am not sure on how to let it all out. Some of it I have let out and some of it I can't find a way to let it out. I really want things to go really good for me in my life. I want to succeed in life and have a great life but I find that hard to when there are so many things that are trying to pull me back and keep me from doing what I want and need to in life.

There is so much more I want to get off my chest but right now I feel like I got a good amount off and that I am unable to get the rest off of my chest.

Alone

Ever feel like not many people care for you? Like your alone in the world? I'm sure we have all been there. I'm sure everyone's been kicked out from a group cause the group wasn't willing to work with them because of the stubbornness of someone in that group that they where trying to teach and the fact that they gave up on that person and the others that where more then willing to learn and was working hard at trying to learn but gave up hope cause of the way they where treated and didn't feel welcomed by that group. Or feeling like no one cares for you or wants to hang with you. Giving up hope cause every time you try to do something that'd be fun or even something that will build the relationship the others don't want to and start to think you are using them for entertainment. Or getting your hopes up to making a big change in life only to be let down cause others get scared and don't want to ruining your plans and crushing your hopes. Or even those that ignore you cause they feel as if they have better things to do or better friends then to be with you instead of just once and awhile making conversation to see how each other is doing and what they have been up to. I feel like as I get older people get ruder and ruder and only want what they want instead of trying to help others or be there for others or even build up a relationship.

Moving on...

Okay so....I have been through a really rough year this past year. Been through the ups and downs, mostly the downs. I have barley gotten through it and am still struggling to get through everything. With it being a new year, I want to change things and try to have a year where it's mainly the ups. This year I will not deal with guys. I am taking a break from them for awhile. A much needed break. They have caused me to much pain over the past year and I need time to myself to figure out really what I want in a guy for a future husband and to become happy with myself. Something that I can't do with a guy being there distracting me. I have started to fall into a depression due to work over working me and among other things. There are a few things I have decided that I am going to do this year to make sure that I don't fall into a deeper depression and that I can get out of this depression that I was pulled into. 2013 is the year to move on with life. Start focusing on what I love in life. Become who I am ment to be. Find myself again. Become a stronger person. Among so many other things. I am not ready to let this year become a year like last year instead I am ready to make it the best year that I can.

Time for change

There are so many people who are worried that the world is going to end on the 21st. They have stopped worrying about others and just about themselves. Doing what they want in life and not giving a care about others. Life isn't about being able to do everything you want for yourself. It's about being there for others. Helping those that need help or even those that don't. Stop and think if you died today would you be happy with the life you lived? Would you regret the way you acted. How selfish you acted? How you ignored that homeless man sitting on the corner of the street with no shoes, no coat, no socks, freezing in the dreaded cold of the snowy night? Would you want to redo your life over again to make it better? No matter what goes on in life we should care about others. Others need help. We can not face this life on this world alone. We need help from others. We need to stop being greedy. Show that you care for someone. This holiday season I challenge each and everyone of you to help someone out. It could be paying for a single mother's family's meal at a restaurant, seeing a screaming child in a store and offering to buy the child some candy or a toy, offering a coat to a homeless man freezing in the cold, or even something as simple as walking someone across the street, or even just smiling at someone. We can make a difference. I challenge everyone to make a change in this world, do something out of kindness, not only for this holiday season but for the whole year of 2013 and all the years to follow after that. We can make a difference  One person alone can make a difference and that can lead to hundrads of others making a difference also. Let's all put down our cell phones, log off of Facebook and go do something good for this world. I would love to see 100 people commit to making a change for the year 2013. Do something for someone. Stop being greedy. I know we can do it. Lets make 2013 the year of change, the year of kindness, the year that people can stop worrying so much and just feel happiness all around them, knowing that the world is becoming a better place. I not only challenge you to make a change in this world but also challenge you to get your friends to also make a change. We can do it.

A way with words...

I'm not sure why but for me it seems so much easier to just write things out instead of talking about them aloud. I'm not sure why this is but it's just how I have been for awhile. Things bottling up inside of me. Slowly causing more and more pain. Tearing me apart from the inside. Yet hiding it from the world. Telling no one what is bugging me. Not able to talk about it to anyone. The feeling of betrayal and hurt. Feeling always alone. That no one cares. That I'm the only one in this world and that I'm fighting alone. Waiting for someone to see and hear my silent cries. The cries that no one knows about. That no one will know about. Keeping it buried deep inside. Away from the world. Not able to share my feelings to the world. Yet wishing for everyone to know how I was feeling. To see the pain I'm going through. Wanting to know that I'm not alone in the world. Wanting to know that there is someone who's going through similar things that I'm going through. Wanting someone to just be a friend. Someone to talk to. Someone to go out and do crazy fun things with. Get out and do things. Get away from the depressive thoughts. To be able to free my mind from everything that is going on. Life is crazy. It's pulling me down. Down to a place I don't want to go. Wanting to free myself from this place that life is pulling me down to. Needing to get out. Get out and do something fun. Escape the craziness of life. The everyday tasks.

Ready To Give Up.

I'm tired of being strong. Tired of holding on. I just wanna let go. Let go of everything. I have been through way to much this year. I'm ready for it to be all over. I can't handle it anymore. I want this pain to go away. To never come back again. All this hurt that has been caused to me this year. All by several people. Made worse by others. I'm ready to give up. Ready to stop fighting. I don't want to do this anymore. I need to get away. Away from everything. To never have to deal with any of this ever again. Let go of everything from my past. To forget about it all. To have it not haunt me for the rest of my life the way it does now. I'm tired of putting on a happy face. Pretending that nothing is bugging me. When there is so much that is bugging me. Tired of hiding everything. Tired of acting like nothing is ever wrong when there is sooo much wrong and so much that is bugging me. So much that is taking the living daylight out of me. So much that is taking every living will out of me. I can't do this. I don't want to. I want it to all go away. I want to be happy. To forget everything.

Love...

As I'm getting older and older I'm starting to find that all my friends are starting to fall in love. Yet every time I fall in love I end up getting hurt. There has never been a time where I feel for a guy where he didn't hurt me. Slowly I'm starting to believe that maybe love isn't for me. After all not everyone gets married. Maybe I'm one of those people who's just not ment to fall in love and get married. Maybe I'm just suppose to get hurt over and over for the rest of my life. Never falling madly in love and getting married. For as long as I can remember I've been tricked to fall into guys games that they play with girls. It seems like no guy has dated me that really cares for me yet I know that there has been a couple. Yet all the guys who hurt me have made it seem like all guys are like this. I'm starting to lose hope that I'll ever get a date. Find Mr. Perfect. So many guys out there are to stuck up in there own ways and could care less about a girl like me and for the feelings for a girl like me. Right now I don't think I'll ever find Mr. Perfect. Maybe I will one day but right now I don't think I will. Some guy who's not like the others will have to change this but I really don't think it will happen anytime soon. I would love to find a guy who's that amazing but with the way the world it going and how all the guys are I know that it's not going to happen for awhile.

Life's Crazy

Wow I haven't posted on here in a long time. It seems the older I get the more crazy my life gets. With it being September now I have started classes back up. I can't even tell you how crazy my life is just with everything from my classes. There seems like there is sooooo much but yet there isn't it seems like. I am taking 16 credits. Kinda crazy to think that I have that many credits that I'm taking this fall semester. My day starts at 5:30 am when I have to wake up to start getting ready for the day. Pretty crazy to think I'm actually getting myself up at that time and to classes. Something I have never been able to do on my own before.
So as I mentioned earlier I am taking 16 credits. Which is kinda a lot of credits to take at one time but it's not. I am taking American Civ., Math 1010, English 1010, Art Lectures, Darkroom Techniques, and 2D Design. As you probably noticed I have mixed between generals and major classes. It's kinda how I like things. It helps balance things out in my life.
In my Math 1010 class I have this on Tuesday and Thursday at 11am. Kinda have mixed feelings about this. I'm not the best at math but I"m going to make the best of it that I can. I have been doing okay so far and have learned somethings. I am hoping to continue to learn things and to hopefully get better at math while passing my math class.
In English 1010, I feel like this class is kinda slow. Like it could go faster or be more entertaining but I'm not sure if it will.
American Civ...oh gosh I could go on a rant about this class. For one the teacher keeps telling us that we are idiots and that we know nothing about history at all. He also calls us stupid and morons. He is constantly bashing all of us. He thinks he is a know it all and that we know nothing and are 100% stupid and that he has to teach us everything in order for us to have some kind of hope in life at all. There is sooooo much more I could rant on about this class but I"m not going to.
Art Lectures. This class is going to be easy minus the time that it's at. It's kinda late in the day but luckily it's only once a week. We basically just have to show up, sign the roll, listen to a lecture and then go home. That's how easy this class is going to be.
2D Design...it's a drawing class...of course. I'm not to big on drawing but I do like to draw here and there. So far I haven't learned anything besides shapes and lines...kinda weird cause I already know this stuff but oh well.
Darkroom Techniques...oh gosh I freaking love this class. I could live in this class and be happy. I have learned so much already from developing film to making a ray-o-gram. It's sooooo amazing on everything that can be done. I never knew it was so easy and that I'd love it so much. I could go on and on about how much I love this class it's just freaking amazing.
On top of being a full time student I am also working part time at McDonalds. Yes it's fast food....yes I use to say that I'd never get a job in fastfood but I have. McDonald's has taught me so much and I'm very grateful that work there and get to work with the people that I get to. Sometimes it's not always fun to work but we do have fun here and there. I have learned sooooo much there and can't wait to see what else I will get to learn from working there.
As you can tell life is well crazy and it's a challenge for me but it's a challenge that I'm going to complete. I know I can do it and I will.
Well peeps that's all for now. I'm gonna try to blog more but I'm not making a promise that I will. So if you don't see a blog from me in awhile it's cause I'm busy or something.
Love ya'll
-Rae

Mad/Hurt

So I am the kind of person who doesn't tell you when I'm mad at you. I have my own way of expressing it. I'm the kind of person who when I'm mad at someone and they ask me if I'm mad at them I wil tell them that I'm not. It's just the person I am. I will tell the person I'm mad at them when I'm ready if I feel like I need to. Sometimes I won't tell anyone and it will just stay hidden that I'm mad at someone.

Some have noticed that I have been hurting lately but most have not. Yes I have been hurting a lot lately and it's really complicated on why I have been hurting so much. There is sooooo much I want to say but I can't. I have gotten to the point where I'm just taking life as it comes hoping for it to get better. This summer has been one of the hardest for me and I'm getting through it. I'm becoming a stronger person but I'm still hurting. There are no words for how much I am hurting. It's hard to describe how much I am  hurting to where someone else could understand it. I hoping that this pain goes away soon. Things will get better but it's going to take time for it to get better. Right now I have to take life as it comes and deal with this hurt.

Happiness

Okay so some of you have noticed that I haven't had the best time  lately and that I've been going through a really hard time. Struggling to get through each day. I want to thank all of you who put up with me. There has been so much that has been on my mind in the past month that has been bugging me and affecting me on a day to day bases. There is so muh I want to say to some people but probably won't. I have made some changes in my life to work towards being happier in life. I'm making these changes for myself. Not for anyone else. I refuse to make changes for someone else and not for myself. All changes I make are going to be for me to work towards my happiness in life. I have learned a lot the past month or so and it has made me a stronger person. I can't say that I'm happy it happened but I can say that I'm happy that I have learned from it and have become a better person because of it. I am going to strive to be a better person for myself. To help make my life the best that it possibly can be. I still have some things to figure out in life and it's going to be a touch road to learn them but I am a lot closer to learning them then I was a month ago. I am hoping to have everything sorted out soon. I am a lot happier now then I was a couple days ago. I am probably the happiest I have been in a long time and still have a ways to go to work towards being fully happy with myself and with my life but I am getting there and will be glad when this road is over. I have some of the most amazing friends who have helped me through this hard time. I wish I could thank each one of you and pay you back for the help you have been. I love each and everyone of you.

Feelings...

Sometimes it feels like it's not worth it anymore that it's best to just give up. That no one cares. That no one wants to be a friend and reach out to you when you need a friend the most. It feels like you are all alone in this world that there is nothing for you to do. No matter what you do it seems like it's not important at all. No matter how much you keep trying no one seems to appreciate you for who you are and that people are always wanting to change you or that they just don't want you in their life anymore. Leaving you there stranded all alone feeling as if you are not worth it or anything anymore in this world. Feeling as if this world will be better without you. Yet you are hanging on by a strand. Barley hanging on. About to give out and let go at any moment but you know that there is something good that is about to com. You just don't know when or where it'll come so you keep losing hope. Waiting for things to get better but seeing no changes. Having few people tell you that things are going to be okay and that they will work out. Someday things will get better but for now it's best to just hang on to that one strand that's keeping you up hoping that things will get better at some point. Sooner rather then later.

Choices

So lately with all the personal choices I have made in my life that I have shared with others has not gone how it could have. I've been attacked for these choices I have made. I shouldn't be getting attacked and put down because of my own personal choices that I am making in my life. People have been putting into their mind that my personal choices for my own life is something that they have to apply to theirs also and they don't like the idea. Yet somehow they are not grasping the fact of personal choice. They don't have to change and do what personal choices I am making. That's why it's a personal choice. A choice that I want to make in my life not in someone else's life. I can only control my own life not others. Please don't go attacking me on my personal choices either. You have no idea what I am going through and why I am making these choices. I have a reason behind everything that I do. I make these choices cause I feel as if they will be the best option for me at the time. This is how it will go. If people continue to attack me for my own personal changes then I'll have to make some more changes and block out those who are attacking me for the choices I am making in my life. I will be cutting back on sharing what is on my mind and keeping to myself a little bit more till I feel that people are done attacking me. This is how things are and will have to be for awhile. If you don't like it then to bad. It's my choice. I have been making many changes in my life and I will continue to do so to make myself a better person.

Major Changes For The Better.

Okay so I have been through a lot since graduating High School a year ago and I have realized a couple of weeks ago that there are some major changes I need to make in my life. Things that I need to get better at doing and some things that just have to change.

I have struggled at reading my scriptures my whole teen years. That doesn't mean that I didn't read them just that I'm not the best at reading them and I have decided earlier this year to work on getting better. I never really started to get better at it till a couple of weeks ago. I started to sit down and just for 30 or more minutes read them and have found that they are truly amazing when I sit down and just read them with no distractions at all and don't set myself a certain amount to read. I have gotten lost in them and have found that there has been times that I have read them for hours and ended up not doing the other stuff I had planned for the day but I felt better after reading them even though I didn't get done what I needed to. I still struggle at reading them but I am working at getting better at reading them. I am not setting myself a goal since goals do not always work. Instead I am sitting down during my free time to read them...which I have lots of.

Some other changes I am making is that I'm no longer letting people push me around and use me like they have in the past. I'm done with that all. I will speak my mind or just walk off. If you don't like this then that's your problem but I no longer want to be part of drama, bossed around, or used. I am my own individual person. I will do what I feel I need to do. What I feel I need to do may not be what you think I should do but that doesn't matter. You can give me your opinion as long as you word it in a way that makes it sound as an opinion or a suggestion instead of an order. I may still be a teenager as of right now but in about 3 months I will be no longer a teenager. I don't deserve to be treated as I have been and I won't put up for it anymore. I am setting my own personal rules that I will work at following. If you don't like them then fine. They are not rules for you they are rules for me. Some of them may effect others but those who are my true friends and really care about me will understand. They will realize that I am doing this for myself and to become a better person.

Now some of you already know this but I would rather talk to people face to face or over the phone. It's a lot more personal. There are some who I'm fine with talking to over the internet but those who I really care about I would rather talk to you in person or over the phone. I am cutting back my Facebook time. I will not get on Facebook much and if you ask me to get on to check something I will not get on till I want to get on. My life doesn't revolve around others. I have my own things I need to do and I will do those before I check Facebook. I refuse to let Facebook control my life anymore. I am also cutting back on my texting. There are the few who I will still text a lot but other then that I will not text like I use to. You know who you are if you are one of the people who I am okay with texting a lot. I will be working towards cutting back on my text usage and working on talking to people more over the phone or in person. This is a choice I made and again if you don't like it then that's okay cause it's a personal choice that I have made.

Those are the main changes I have made in my life as of right now. There are some other changes I have made in my life that I am working on and will continue to work on and there will be more changes I will make later on in my life. These are the choices I have made and feel that I need to do. I still care for everyone but if you don't hear from me as much don't be alarmed. If you want to hear from me then give me a call. If you don't have my number and want it let me know and I might give it to you depending on how I feel about you.

Lots of Love
Raven

Changes and thoughts

Okay so recently I have quit my job at Carl's Jr and got a job at McDonalds. I have felt that most of you are not supportive of this decision I have made. I have been getting comments like "Isn't that a step down?" "Why would you want to work for McDonalds" "You can do better" and much more along with glares and stuff. None of you know fully of what I am going through and that I made this decision on my own because I needed to. I have my reasons on why I did this and I feel as if I don't need to go telling everyone on why I made this choice in my life. There has been a select few people who have been supportive of this choice in my life and those are the one's who know why I have done this. I feel like I shouldn't have to tell everyone on why I have made this choice and that they should be supportive of me no matter what I do. Many of you would take back your comments if you knew fully on why I'm making this choice. Comments like those are just hurting me more then you would think they are with what I have been through recently. I wish for all of you to be supportive of me with this decision but I know that will never happen because none of you can fully feel and know what I have been through. This is my decision and it's one I feel will do more good for me then you all think it will. Please let me live my life doing what I feel is right without any rude remarks and glares. Thanks you.

Life Stinks!

Okay so I really need to vent. There is lots going on in my life and I really can't handle it anymore. I'm not quiet sure what to do anymore or even if I should do something or just give up on it all.

So for sometime now (at least 1.5 months) I have been trying to find a job. I have applied everywhere I can think of even places I would have never thought of. I have even applied at every McDonalds I can think of but no luck at all on getting a job. I have gotten maybe 4 job interviews out of all the millions of applications I have turned in but not one single offer for a job. Yes I am looking for my first job and I have been told it's going to be hard but I never thought it would be this hard. I don't know where to look at now or even if I should keep trying to get a job. I'm not sure if all this time I have wasted on trying to get a job is worth it. I have had no progress and am running out of money. I'm really hating how all these immature high school students can get a job super east but no matter how hard I work at getting a job I can't get nothing. It's not right. It's almost impossible to get a job without any work experience but there is no way to get work experience when you can't get a job. I have done everything that others have told me to do when job hunting yet I get no results at all. I'm to the point now where I don't even think I'm going to get a job. It seems like no one wants to hire me no matter how hard I work at getting a job and honestly I'm starting to lose hope that I will ever be able to get a job. All I really want right now is a job. A job where I can work hard at, learn new things, make friends, show I'm responsible, have something to fill up my free time with, and to have money to be able to pay to do things with friends or get things I need to get for school and stuff. But I guess this is asking to much. :/

There are other things that are going on also but I don't feel like talking about those right now. Maybe later. Who knows. But for now life stinks!

LDS Problems

So lately I have been really into reading LDS Problems, BYU Problems, Mormon Wonka, and Mormon Girl Problems on twitter and other sites and I just thought I'd share some of my favorites

LDS Problems

#ThatAwkwardMoment When there is a huge gap between you and the next person during the sacrament.


Never make eye contact with the person that is choosing someone to say the prayer.


Best drinking fountains on Earth. #mormonproblems


Why didn't the BYU football team do as good this year? Every time they gained ten yards, they had to give one back for tithing.


BYU Problems

New addition to the YSA hymnal- "If you like her then you should have put a ring on her" #Beyonce #BYUProblems


Prayer always helps me find the right answers...except for on my finals #NowImScrewed


Just as school ends, wedding season begins... #BYUProblems


With this many righteous kids you'd think we'd be blessed with good weather #ProvoProblems


Mormon Wonka

Oh, you're good at kissing? You must have the gift of tongues.


Oh, you pushed a handcart around for a few days? I'm sure you know exactly what the pioneers went through.


Oh, you put scripture verses as your Facebook status? You're definitely going to the celestial kingdom.


Oh, you're no longer a lip virgin? I'm sure your Bishop will need to hear about this.


Oh, you wear a bikini? You must have read the church dress code recently.


Mormon Girl Problems

You learned Spanish on your mission?! So, like, can you order for me at Cafe Rio?!


Is it sad I know people from my ward more from our Facebook group wall than in real life?


Someone needs to make a documentary of single Mormon girls and call it The Husband Games.


Elder Uchtdorf, if I married into your family I would NEVER be bitter!


Next month's Ensign should have an infographic showing contact information for the missionaries in the #LDSConf choir. #dearelder


Does Elder Uchtdorf have any sons? AND do they have the same accent as their father? If so, can I marry one of them?


I love sister missionaries (because they're in the field, they're not part of my husband hunting competition)!!!!








Enjoy! :)

Goodbye Dating & Courtship Class and spring semester

I have decided this semester to take a dating and courtship class that I have falling in love with. I have learned so much in this class and wish it would never come to an end. My teacher is just amazing. He makes the class worth going to. I have learned so much. Out of all of my classes I have had this semester, this is the one I'm the saddest to say goodbye to. It has given me something to look forward to every tuesday and thursday. This thursday is the last day...the end of my life. (or so it feels). But I am hoping to be able to go on dates and apply what I have learned from this class on these dates. To be able to find the one guy who is ment to be my husband. Then to use what I have learned to help me maintain a healthy and happy engagement and then marriage. I feel like I have been able to not only get better at communicating with guys but also with friends. There are somethings from this class that can be applied to friendships also. Well I"m probably boring you to death about how much I'm going to miss this class so here are some dating tips I learned from the class that i have fallin in love with. Hope you enjoy them like I do.

 Follow your heart, but take your brain with you
 Be careful not to use other people's lame dating patterns or standers as the standard for you
 One thing that will prepare you for marriage is to learn how to make and keep a friend
 To get dates, make yourself accessible to other people
 It will take some pressure off dating if your focus is trying to make friends with the people you date rather than worrying about whether or not you will become boyfriend and girlfriend. People marry their friends.
 Be measured and disciplined in revealing your feelings for someone. It creates a less pressured atmosphere for a relationship to grow. There is intrigued in mystery. Respect the growth cycle of other people's feelings
 Constant assessment of a relationship can sometimes prohibit it's growth.
 Keep at the flirting. Vary your methods. There is more than one way to talk to that someone you want to get to know.
 Obvious attempts are okay. subtle attempts are great too. Awkward attempts are even cute.
 Failed attempts aren't wasted. People are flattered and entertained and it's our Christian duty to lift others and bring joy into their lives.
 If we don't move out of our comfort zone, we won't grow, and if we don't grow we won't find joy.
 A reminder: you measure your success as a young single adult not by whether you are engaged or nearly engaged...but by how much you are conversing, flirting, and making new friends with those that you like.

Another class that I'm going to miss is Art History. My teacher has made the class o worth going to. I love being there. I have learned lots in the class through the semester and feel like I understand art better now. I love to point out different style periods in each art or architecture that I see. I can't wait to take more art history classes in the future.

I'm also going to miss english. For so many reasons. I love my english class but luckily I have more english classes to take. I have found a love for writing. I have volunteered to write essays for friends or to edit them for them when they are complaining about how much they hate writing essays.

Well those are the classes I'm going to miss.
