new favorite band!

So, I know I'm probably SUPER late...but I've decided to jump on the bandwagon...lol
I watched the movie 'Just My Luck' with Lindsay Lohan in it the other day. In the movie is a band named McFly. Up until that night, I had no idea they actually existed, so I checked out some of their songs the next day and I've been listening to them NON-STOP since then. I'm gonna try to post a music player with some of their songs on it ((hopefully it works))

If not, you'll just have to take my word on this and see for yourself just how awesome they are!! :)

a post about absolutely nothing lol

Haven't really been on here all that much recently. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm alive and well! School ended about 3 weeks ago and I've done pretty much nothing worth commenting on since then. I ended up with 3 A's and a B+ with a semester GPA of 3.75 ((which I'm totally psyched about!))

Life has been pretty simple (and kinda boring) since basketball ended. Sometimes I don't know what to do when I'm not around my guys and girls...I miss them sooo much! I most definitely can't wait until basketball season starts up again :)

Hope everyone's been doing well!

--Much love!

...opportunities...

This past week and a half or so has been really amazing for me. Each day, I was blessed to have many, MANY opportunities to share about the church and the gospel.

I absolutely love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!

We've had the missionaries over almost every Sunday for the past 3-4 months and they are soooo awesome! They have such a strong and sweet spirit about them and they have helped our family become closer :D

in case you didn't hear...

INDIANAPOLIS, IN IS GETTING A TEMPLE!!! :D

as far as i can tell, everyone is sooooooooo psyched for this new piece of exciting information! i can't wait to find out where they'll be putting it and when they'll start :]

yay for general conference!

Proof that Sportsmanship Still Exists

I saw this article on the Yahoo! homepage and just couldn't resist reading it. These teams are truly groups of individuals that still know what sportsmanship is and how to show it. The story and video most definitely made me cry and put me in a fantastic mood. It's about a student on a football team that scored a 51 yard TD in a Varsity football game last week. Normally, it wouldn't be all that impressive, but Ike Ditzenberger has Down Syndrome. His and the opposing team made it possible for Ike to score, probably making last Friday night one of the best of his life thus far. It's moments like these that truly make me proud to be an American and it gives me hope that maybe, just maybe...sportsmanship does still exist in this world.

I hope the videos work...

this first one is the one Ike scored last year in a Junior Varsity game.



this next one is the one he scored on Friday night.

Truly inspiring, isn't it? <3

its that time of year...again

Soooooo....school's started up again lol

I'm not sure if I'm excited or what, but my classes are pretty good so that helps out. I'm taking 13 credit hours instead of the 16 I was gonna take.

I'm planning on moving out as well, but I NEED to get a job first. Hopefully I can find one at the student employment fair this Thursday... [cross your fingers for me!] haha
