Moral Creed

So for my religion class this semester I am taking 'Preparing for Celestial Marriage' I was a little skeptical at first, but it was the only class that would fit with my schedule. Now I am so glad I'm taking it! I feel like I learn so much. We had to make these things called our moral creeds. It's simple really, all you do is make a word document of things that you will do, and then another for things that you wont. I think that this is a very good idea and that everyone should do it. Here is mine :) p.s. A lot have to do with dating and marriage because of the class I am in...

I will...

· Settle for nothing less than a temple marriage.

· Date people that honor and respect women.

· Hold to my standards when it comes to looking for someone to marry.

· Make sure my future spouse and I are starting our marriage on a good foundation.

· Live a life worthy to be married and sealed in the temple.

· Pray to the Lord for guidance in things that I am supposed to be doing.

· Trust that the Lord knows what is best for me.

· Be happy and remain positive through life.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

Don't worry people, it has been a much better week so far! I think I was just freaking out because it was the first week of school. So I'm sitting here at school looking at pictures while I should be doing my homework. I found some pictures of a trip that I went on with Ashley and her family a little over two years ago. I'm just going to say that for some reason some are so funny to me. I might just be in one of those weird moods...
And last but not least....The polka dancing! Probably the best part hahaha!

B.F.F.

This, my friends, is my new best buddy.
As much as I would love to never have to be around him...
We somehow just can't seem to part.

Summer, You've been good! School, please come sooner!

Bryce Canyon

A couple of weeks ago my family and the Henries set off for Bryce Canyon. We were supposed to go to Lake Powell like we do every year but due to boat problems that didn't happen. Our truck broke down while we were driving there so that set us behind a day and a half, other than that the trip was a blast!
