Midnight movie.

We went to Transformers 2 this morning at midnight. It made for a 22 hour day for me. But it was worth! Really good show!! There were some extremely unneccesary dirty comments which REALLY bugged, but other than that the actual movie was really good! Next midnight movie...Harry Potter July 15th...

New Haircut.

What do you think???

Our lives wouldn't be the same without her...

Last night (in the rain) my roommate Kristen and my best friends ever Brandon and Jason and I went to the Kelly Clarkson concert! We had so much fun! Brandon and Jason and huge Kelly fans, always have been, it's always been a joke in our friendship, so we had a blast! Afterwards we went to ColdStone and talked! SUCH a fun night! Thanks guys!

Kelly!

Rain+Hat=CRAZY hair



So happy :) Love these boys :)

Kelly was getting out of the van! Such excitement!

With Chad! He did so good!

Ben and Chad after they performed, they won $1000

These pictures are out of order..this is Chad and Ben singing...

Before the concert started

A desire to do and to know.

We had an interesting discussion at institute last night. We were studying in Abraham chapter 1 verses 1-4. We were focusing on verse 2 which says, "And finding there was greater happiness and peace and rest for me, I sought for the blessings of the fathers, and the right whereunto I should be ordained to administer the same; having been myself a follower of righteousness, desiring also to be one who possessed great knowedge, and to be a father of many nations, a prince of peace, and desiring to receive instructions, and to keep commandments of God..." Someone raised the question, "How do we get a desire to know" I think this is an interesting question. How do we gain a desire to know? How do we gain a desire to do better, to be better? Why is it that we can't just stay how we are, but that we must progress and become perfected, and learn more? Someone made the comment that when we do something something long enough we gain a desire to do it. If we do righteous things continually we will have a greater desire to be righteous. If we sin continually we get a greater desire to sin more and more. This made me think of a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that I love he says, "That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the nature of the task has changed, but that our ability [and desire] to do so has." I just thought that this was an interesting point. It makes sense and is probably just common sense, but it is interesting to think about.

Revenge is sweet :)

Yesterday morning we woke up to this.....

SOOOOO We....

Did this....

(this picture was taken about two hours after we did it when they found it :))

They were a little surprised to see that their joke back fired!

{One week and one day until...}

This....

AND THIS!!!!!

For those of you who don't know who TRUMAN is (probably all of you :)) It is my neighbor here in the good ol BYU 90th ward! This is Chad Truman and his brother Ben. Chad has been in my ward the last two semesters, super neat kid! And their band is opening for the Kelly Clarkson concert next Thursday that Brandon, Jason, and I are going to! I'm super excited for him, I have never met anyone as musically talented as this kid! You have probably heard him and didn't even know it...if anyone of you have listened to the Joseph Tribute to the Prophet CD...his seminary teacher is the one that did that and Chad does the narrating for The Rising song. Here is one of their songs, they are singing this at the Kelly Clarkson concert next Thursday, and their first CD is being released on Friday! Can't Wait!

{seminary graduation}

Multiple posts today :) Playing catch-up!! Friday was my little brother's seminary graduation. It was so good! I cried through the whole thing though :( I'm so sad/excited to see him grow up! The graduation was really good though. Colton got released from Seminary Counsel, he really enjoyed that, and they called 4 new ones. This week is the high school graduation...we'll see how that goes for me...Good luck Colton! Love you!

~Ladies man~
