Howdy

So, it has been QUITE SOME TIME since I blogged. Writer's block, writers block, righters block....??one of those was my issue. Jk, I know how to spell writers, you guys.

Life lately. A big event was that I purchased an iphone, much to the anguish of my anti-iphone older brother, but he just doesn't understand, it's just so........AMAZING!!! Actually, that's being dramatic. I only got an iphone because I allowed some bum-guy to talk me into it, I have no idea how they actually compare to any other phone as this was also my first smart phone.

Another new event is that I have started attending IA. (Iphone-aholics anonymous)

No, but seriously, getting a smart phone was a huge step for me!! Now I can text people funny pictures ALL. DAY. I needed this really bad. I can't believe I went so long without the ability to do this. My life has dramatically improved. My mom loves that I hardly ever talk to her anymore. Okay, slight exaggeration there. She doesn't like it. Okay, another exaggeration, I still talk to her. But any ideas of how to get myself to set my phone down for more than 25 min would be greatly appreciated.

Um, some other things that happened, I got engaged, and then I got not engaged. But I don't super want to dwell on that. I do want to say that I believe Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us and I want to do my best to align my will to His. This life is short. We can't always see the purpose for certain things, but we can act in faith. That's all He asks of us. Always act in faith that obedience will lead to our incredible joy.

BIG THING!! Little brother Gabe is now on his mission in Tempe, AZ! I have to say that it's a huge comfort that he is just right down there *Pointing south* as opposed to Dwight's mission where he was all the way through there *pointing through center of earth to the other side of the planet, Madagascar* But Elder Gabe is actually having some pretty third world experiences, stuff we didn't really expect. But he loves it! And he's all mature in his e-mail and facebook posts, making his older sister look like a bigger kid than she already is. And he is in a facebooking mission, which is amazing! They get to talk to people about the gospel from anywhere on the planet that has internet, basically! And we get to see his inspirational quotes every day, which makes for a happier Mom and sisters :)

Something I should probably announce is that Kimmy and I are going to leave and work as entertainers on a cruise ship. Or train dolphins in Hawaii. Or become pirates. We haven't really decided, but something is going to happen. But we DID get Barbie feet the other night when we swam in the Carson City hot springs for about 2 hours, which could be really beneficial to our modeling careers. We expect that our modeling careers will take off any day now. But anyway, Barbie feet. You know what I'm talking about? We got really excited for a minute because eeeeevvveeerrrrryyyy little girl wants to be like Barbie. You know, 7 ft tall, 20 in waist, 44 in bust and 34 in hips. And feet that make it so you can always wear stilettos. We literally couldn't put our feet flat for a few seconds, best feeling ever. Actually not though.

As we speak, I am downloading a bunch of piano guys music for the Gabe-man and we are going to send to him for his b-day which is on the 26th. So I'm going to post a vid of one of their songs, it's pretty gorgeous. 


Well that about does it for me, can't think of more to write. But peace and blessings!!!
