Its Christmas time

Ok so I am kinda cheating and talking about Chrismas..

the day after Christmas.

oh well, it works;)

Basically this has been one of the best Christmas's EVER!

Every year me and my family do a thing called "the twelve days of service"

What is this?

Basically its a goal where me and my family do a act of service everyday till christmas

and not just little acts of service

BIG ones!

For example one night we went to chic-fil-a

and we paid for the car behind us.

of course, instead of being a little honda...

it was a big surburban full of kids haha:)

it was like a 40+ dollar order

But it was fun to see the parents face when they found out they didnt have to pay:)

Another example is when me and my family went to the LDS bishop storehouse.

We went inside and started to help, and then we saw a young mom with a 3-year old daughter

She was struggling with grocerys

the daughter was crying
and the mom couldnt put the daughter down because she didn't have any shoes

Me and my family rushed over and helped her with her grocerys and her daugher.

then we handed her a envelope with 70 dollars and told her Merry Chrismas.

The cool part is, we went to temple square the next night,

and we saw her there.

With a brand new pair of shoes:)

I can't describe the feeling I had that night.

But all I know is that this is what christmas is all about.

I felt Christ's love so strong that night, and believe it or not, even in the chick-fil-a drive through

I know that this Church is true.

and that Christmas is not always about the gifts you recieve,

its about the birth of the Savior.

and even though Christmas is over,

the spirit isn't.

Merry Christmas:)

Giggles, Happiness and Laughs

Often people ask me,

"Why are you always so happy? How?"

Well the answer is fairly simple.

There are many reasons why I always seem to have a smile on my face:

My best friend (She puts a smile on my face everyday)

The notes I get in health class......

The countless hours of playing apples to apples with my brothers

my lovely calling in the Mia Maid class:)

all the inside jokes I have!

Spanish class....;)

But its not only these things that make me so happy, theres lots of other things

The memories that are so close to my heart that I will never let go

My Testimony

Music:)

Trek

The temple

My darling family

Seminary

and several other things.

But to me, the main reason that im always happy is one simple statement.

Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me.

They love me! Silly ol' me who messes up everyday and they still loves me regardless

Its quite amazing, cause they have tons of children and they love each and every one of them!

And not just any kind of love

A special love

The kind of love that makes you know that your special and loved everyday no matter what.

They love you, and always have and always will

Please don't forget it!

When there are times when you feel like giving up

Believe me I know..

Just keep going!

You are loved and you are important and special!

Don't ever forget it!:)
