"It's Extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become. Trust in the Lord as He leads you along. He has thing for you to do that you won't know about now, but that will be revealed later. If you stay close to Him, you will have some great adventures. The Lord will unfold your future bit by bit." -Elder Neal A. Maxwell, 1984

It says
Amethyst is and uplifting stone. It helps to get energies moving upwards, turning your mind and heart towards spiritual things. It also enhances Psychic abilities, and makes us more sensitive to our higher selves. Amethyst aids in Prayer and Contemplation.Haha! I can't stop laughing like crazy, I just smile everytime I think about it! :D hehehe!

Good Day today! :D
Today was a pretty good day! It didn't start out very well because my mind wouldn't shut up! I have been awake since 2 this morning! Tired? Yes and No... Am I surprised? no... because I had a little bit of sleep right before my Alarm went off this morning... like an hour and a half... so pretty much I had about 3 1/2 hours of sleep last night... How Wonderful! But I think I will sleep better tonight though! Today was so Amazing!
The Sunday before Christmas is a Sunday I look forward to every year! Because we pretty much Sing Christmas Hymns the whole three hours and hear thoughts about Christmas, Favorite Christmas Stories, and Family Traditions! In Sacrament meeting, speakers talked about Christmas and Charity. Being able to serve those in Need, being with Family, and remembering what Christmas is really about! :D Christmas is my favorite Holiday in the World! :D Why? Because I get to be with my Family! I Love my family very much! My family started a tradition of reading the Night of Christ's Birth and also as most families do we open one present... and we all know what those presents are! :D Yeppers! Pajamas! So excited! I don't have a lot of warm pajamas so Christmas every year I get a warm pair of PJ's and those are my PJ's for the Winter to keep me warm! :D I'll be going to my parents house to spend the rest of the week in Lehi for Christmas, then be back at my apartment Saturday Night so that I can go to my Singles ward for Church since I have a calling and I really want to be there! :D I Love my Calling, I have so much fun with it! :D I am the Relief Society Music Specialist, and wow! I have had so much fun with it! :D
In Relief Society to day they did a Christmas Program type thing, and here is what we did! :D
1. We sang hymn # 202 "Oh Come all ye Faithful (Vs. 1 & 2)
2. Someone with an Awesome French Accent(literally someone was visiting my ward from France!) read Luke 1: 26-32 She spoke pretty good English too!
3. #202 Oh Come all ye Faithful (vs. 3)
4. Becca- She shared a tradition her family did when she was growing up. The 12 Days of Christmas to 3 families that needed some help. So starting on the 11 of December, they would choose 3 families from their home ward or Neighborhood that they thought may have needed help! Each day they would get a little package of food or something to help them out drop it off on their door step and Doorbell Ditch. And on the 12th Day Christmas Day, they go to each of those families houses and give them a big basket of Food! And sing Christmas Carols, and tell them who gave them the other 11 packages! It was pretty cool! :D
5. Someone read Luke 2 : 5-7
6. #206 Away in a Manger
7. Luke 2: 8-14
8. # 203 Angels We have heard on High
9. Emily- She told us her favorite Christmas Story! She shared one of my favorites about the Three Trees. Where each of them had a dream of what they wanted to become when they grew up tall and healthy. The 1st Tree wanted to become a Treasure chest filled with Gold and Gemstones! The 2nd Tree wanted to be a Throne Chair for Kings and Queens to sit on! The 3rd Tree just wanted to stay on the Mountain and point up to Heaven! When it became time to be chopped down, the first Tree was made into a Pig feeder type thing... The Second Tree became a Boat, and the 3rd Tree became confused as he was put into long pieces of wood. One day the Virgin Mary set her Baby Jesus in the Pig Feeder filled with hay, and the 1st tree realized they were holding the most precious treasure in the World, God's only Begotten son. The 2nd Tree held quite a few fisher men, and one man fell asleep during the journey, a Nasty Storm came and the Boat was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold up with the storm, all of a sudden the Man woke up and Said "Peace Be Still" And the 2nd Tree realized he was holding the King of Kings. The 3rd Tree Became the Cross to hold the Savior on the day of his Crucifixion, and the 3rd Tree was depressed and sad, when the 3rd Day came around he could feel the tremblings of the Earth Praising Joy, and he realized of how much he just changed the world.
10. Luke 2: 15-20
11. #210 With Wandering Awe
12. Clara- She shared her Testimony of Christmas and how special it was to her! :D
13. #201 Joy to the World
14. The Nativity Video
15. Thoughts from the R.S. President
16. #214 I heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Let me tell ya! The spirit was so strong, I Loved it like crazy! :D I quite enjoyed myself! I sat in the front of the room so that I wouldn't have to keep on going up and down, I could just stand up and lead the music! It was a fun day! :D
After Church I went to my Grandparents house, and met my Newest Cousin Rachel Sydney Leavitt! Let me tell ya! My Cousin Tyler and Kellyann made a cute baby! And Kelly has the right to be biased! Rachel looks so much like Tyler, it's awesome! She's definitely a Daddy's Girl! She makes the same looks as Tyler, I look forward to getting to know her! Wow! She's so dang cute! I hope to share pictures soon! :D She was born December 7, 2009(so only 13 days old!) She was 7 lbs 3 oZ. and 20 in. long I believe... Rachel is such a cute little Baby! I love her to bits! :D

Happy Birthday Kevin!
Happy Birthday to My Boyfriend Kevin! He is so amazing! :D I Love him like crazy! He has been my friend for almost a year! And It has been an Adventure! I Love his passions for Movies, he loves to make jokes and make people Laugh! He makes me Laugh everyday! I support him in everything he does! He majors in Digital Media in Animation. Which he wants to do that with Movies! :D He is My best friend! I hope he had a great Day today! Cause I miss him right now! He is in California for 3 weeks, and I took his birthday off for no reason really... Dang it! All well, I made it productive! I went Swimming this Morning with a Friend of mine(it is so much easier to work out with someone! :D), then I surprised my parents by coming over to their house, Ironically enough, they were about ready to leave to Abbie's Christmas Preschool program! haha! I didn't even know about it! So it was good timing! And I told Kendra and Abbie that Today was Kevin's Birthday and they wanted to tell him Happy Birthday! :D So after Abbie's Program I called Kevin, and let Kendra Sing Happy Birthday! He was laughing like crazy! It was cute! My sisters Love Kevin! They Love to play with him! When ever he comes to my parents house with me, My sisters love to sit on our laps! As well as Wrylie(my dog).
I LOVE YOU KEVIN! I HOPE YOU KNOW YOU ARE LOVED! :D I'M GLAD YOU HAD A GOOD BIRTHDAY!!! :D
Abbie's Program was so dang cute! They sang little nursery rhymes and Christmas Song! And Abbie can sometimes be a drama Queen when she is asked to! Boy did she do a good job with making a Pout face for "Santa Clause is Coming to Town" And Collin Caught pictures at the perfect Moment! haha! I don't know how she did it! Some of the Kids in her class are so cute! There was a girl that was next to her, she looked like a Shirley Temple Kind of Girl, and she also looked like she had a Character! ;)Then, there was a girl that had a cute Flower on her head that was pretty much almost as big as her face! haha! ;) She was a cutie! Her hair was so cute, it perfectly formed around her face, I looked at her the whole time! There was a little boy that was so cute! haha! He had glasses on that made his eyes look like you were looking in a fish bowl... He was so cute! haha! When they were doing the "Pledge of Allegiance" He put both hands on his Heart! Abbie put her hand over her rib cage where the stomach is at... 4 year olds are so hilarious! When they were doing "Santa Clause is coming to Town" They were told to sing as Loud as they could, and Guess who came out? Yeppers! Santa Clause! Their faces were so priceless when Santa Started doing his "HO HO HO's" They were startled of how loud he was, but also this look of "Oh my Gosh! Santa is Here! I can't believe it!" So cute! All of the kids in Abbie's Class sat on his Lap! And after the rest of the kids in the Audience were able to sit on his lap! And My sister Kendra wanted me to take her up! :D I was pretty happy by this, and laughing because when it comes to Santa, Kendra gets really shy, it's so weird! She is a hyper Girl... and the kind of girl that would say "Hi! My name is Kendra Sue and this is my sister Abbie!" But she went right up to him and sat on his lap! It was so cute! Collin my little brother asked if I wanted to sit on his Lap? I said "What?! No!" I'm pretty much too old to sit on Santa's Lap! ;)
After the Program, I took Collin to see Jim Carrey's A Christmas Carol(it was Collin's first time of seeing it!), I Like this particular version! I would Love to see this movie in 3D holy cow! There were a lot of parts where it would be worth seeing it in 3D! ;) I'm not a big fan of the Ghost of Christmas Future, and they did a very good job with him! I think he's my favorite out of all the versions! Cause you Laugh through some of it! :D My favorite part of the Movie was the Ghost of Christmas Present! When he took Scrooge to the first destination, it was like being in a roller coaster! And you actually felt like you were(oh what's the word?), out of this world kind of thing! It was fun! :D Today, was pretty much a day of Hanging out with my family! Around 7 I went to my Friend Lauren Crockett's Wedding Reception! And I saw Coach Meyring! And some other swimmer's I knew and actually pretty good friends with! :D It was a blast! Although, During the dance part of the reception, they had songs that you would've heard at a High School Dance or something... the only songs that you wouldn't hear was the Couple Dance, and the Daddy Daughter Dance... And even get this! They even had Boot Scootin' Booty! What?! I just thought it was interesting to me! :D But it was kind of fun when they did the First Dance as a Married couple Dance, and the Daddy Daughter dance! I know exactly which song to do for the Daddy/Daughter Dance! It's Called "Butterfly Kisses." This Song gets my dad Crying every time! This song is mine and my Dad's Song because of it! I've always loved the song since I first heard it! But, with me, if I were to do a dance reception... I would probably just have romantic songs really cause I want the reception to be formal. and also the whole day and night is all about the newly Wed Couple! And then I went to Mckenzie Pierce's Wedding, I just pretty much went and said Congrats and left... I was tired!
I LOVE YOU KEVIN! I HOPE YOU KNOW YOU ARE LOVED! :D I'M GLAD YOU HAD A GOOD BIRTHDAY!!! :D

All of the kids in Abbie's Class sat on his Lap! And after the rest of the kids in the Audience were able to sit on his lap! And My sister Kendra wanted me to take her up! :D I was pretty happy by this, and laughing because when it comes to Santa, Kendra gets really shy, it's so weird! She is a hyper Girl... and the kind of girl that would say "Hi! My name is Kendra Sue and this is my sister Abbie!" But she went right up to him and sat on his lap! It was so cute! Collin my little brother asked if I wanted to sit on his Lap? I said "What?! No!" I'm pretty much too old to sit on Santa's Lap! ;)
After the Program, I took Collin to see Jim Carrey's A Christmas Carol(it was Collin's first time of seeing it!), I Like this particular version! I would Love to see this movie in 3D holy cow! There were a lot of parts where it would be worth seeing it in 3D! ;) I'm not a big fan of the Ghost of Christmas Future, and they did a very good job with him! I think he's my favorite out of all the versions! Cause you Laugh through some of it! :D My favorite part of the Movie was the Ghost of Christmas Present! When he took Scrooge to the first destination, it was like being in a roller coaster! And you actually felt like you were(oh what's the word?), out of this world kind of thing! It was fun! :D Today, was pretty much a day of Hanging out with my family! Around 7 I went to my Friend Lauren Crockett's Wedding Reception! And I saw Coach Meyring! And some other swimmer's I knew and actually pretty good friends with! :D It was a blast! Although, During the dance part of the reception, they had songs that you would've heard at a High School Dance or something... the only songs that you wouldn't hear was the Couple Dance, and the Daddy Daughter Dance... And even get this! They even had Boot Scootin' Booty! What?! I just thought it was interesting to me! :D But it was kind of fun when they did the First Dance as a Married couple Dance, and the Daddy Daughter dance! I know exactly which song to do for the Daddy/Daughter Dance! It's Called "Butterfly Kisses." This Song gets my dad Crying every time! This song is mine and my Dad's Song because of it! I've always loved the song since I first heard it! But, with me, if I were to do a dance reception... I would probably just have romantic songs really cause I want the reception to be formal. and also the whole day and night is all about the newly Wed Couple! And then I went to Mckenzie Pierce's Wedding, I just pretty much went and said Congrats and left... I was tired!

Wisdom Teeth are out!
Monday, I got my wisdom teeth out! And I can honestly say, I was pretty nervous! I was lucky that my Home teachers came the night before to give me a priesthood blessing of comfort that every thing in the surgery will go nice and smoothly! I was so grateful for that peace! I was ready for the surgery then! haha! Yeah, I go to work Monday, and my co-workers were asking questions if I was nervous, and other things, I don't really remember either... my mind was pre-occupied! I guess in a sense I was preparing for the surgery in a way.
At the appointment, I remember they hooked me up to a blood pressure monitor, and heart monitor, and she hooked me up to an I.V. and when the doctor came in, he pushed the syringe, (which was Fentanyl) and the doctor said half a dose on the other one(of which I don't know...) But any ways, they were like, this is my favorite part... haha! I felt like they were waiting for something. The next thing I remember was asking if we were done already(My mom said I was awake already and was trying to speak... haha! I don't remember falling asleep or even waking up...) I remember being in a wheelchair... but I don't remember how I got in there, or anything... I then remember the nurse asking if I needed help getting to the van... I think I did ok... but I don't remember how I even got to the van... The next thing I know is that we're back at Taylor Drug waiting for my prescriptions to be filled... I was numb, and I was loopy! I couldn't even speak! I remember Jarom Lance asking me if I wanted him to cover for me Friday night... I said no... I'll be there... I can't really afford missing anymore hours. Anyways, got home, and changed... I seriously don't remember a lot of what I said or did... I just know I wanted to rest. Kevin came over to visit me! I was pretty happy with that! :D He said he was happy to have held me to so that I could rest! :D We played Dominion with my family, which is pretty easy even someone that's on Drugs can play it! haha! Like I was on Lortab, and still had some effects from the Anesthetic! haha! And I got in 2nd place! When does that even happen! I wasn't even that Coherent at all! ;)
Yesterday, I was better, I was still loopy from the Lortab, but today, I'm trying not to take the Lortab so much... I want to be alert when I take Kevin to the Airport, so that I'll know where to pick him up too! I'll surly miss him like crazy! :( He's going to be in California for Christmas for 3 weeks! ahh! Crazy! He'll be back on the 4th of January! That almost feels like for ever!

Some Postive thinking for this time of year!
In Relief Society today was a pretty much an amazing Lesson about Joseph Smith in the Joseph Smith Manual(Chapter 45). It was Joseph Smith's Feelings about His Prophetic Mission. In it we ended up talking about Life and being able to endure through the hard times. Well, at least it was what was going through my head! Talking about Service, using the Atonement, and "Fake it till you make it."
Service is so Huge for us especially this time of year! And it should be used more often through out the year! I Love Service! I do admit there are somethings I don't really like doing... but it always feels so good after wards especially if I complain at first(I don't like doing that and doing my best to stop doing it...) and start looking at it as a fun activity than a "boring" activity. And I want to start trying to start doing that to begin with! Service shouldn't be Boring! It should be fun, fulfilling and even helping yourself in a way! :D Matthew 25:40 " In as much as ye have done it unto one of these of the least of my Brethren, ye have done it unto me." We all know that Scripture. I've heard from so many people that Service actually can help you through difficulty, Cause there is some one out there that is having a harder time than you are, and you are able to help them. And also Remember that Christ is there for you to help you through... he has gone through every pain and afflictions and temptations of every kind!
The Atonement. We all don't know how it works... we just know that it does! Let me explain. All we do to use the atonement with the repentance process and the forgiving process, we pray, and do our best in life as we go! And through some tough times, we ask for the pain go away and as long as we are obeying we will have peace to help us through our lives! Heavenly Father isn't going to put us through something that we can't handle! Some small things to him can be huge things to us and he'll help us through anything! We just need to have the Faith. The Question is Do you have the Faith and the Patience to Make it through?
"Fake it till you Make it." I've heard this one before and didn't really understand it till my Relief Society President shared an experience from spending a semester in when she was 18. She was pretty Shy, and her first Calling was FHE Group leader. She was set with a guy she didn't want to be with(get this it's because he was outgoing and Happy just the sort of person a shy person Needs! And it's true! ;) He gave her the Advice of "Fake it till you Make it." Meaning that during the hard times Smile everywhere you go... Look like you're always Happy. People will catch on! And soon you'll find that you aren't faking anymore, you're just smiling because you know you can make it! And it brings a better perspective! :D A Quote that has helped me in life from Swim Team! hehehe! I Love Swim Team! :D Anyways, there was a time where coach Gathered all of us together in his room, and on the top of the Board, there was a Quote that said.
It was just interesting to me! Relief Society is always so much fun! At least in my Ward, I have a Calling that I Love like crazy! I have so much fun with it! I know I only have 5 minutes, but that can be a long time, or it can be really quick and short depending on the day! But it's a chance for me to be able to teach something whether it is something about a hymn, or a thought of some sort, or music in general, like keeping the beat(which is interesting cause some people don't get it at all), or even reading music... I think I can teach Beat, and actually might have an idea for it! hehehe! ;)

Life is Tough, But it's even tougher when you're Stupid. -Anonymous (Do what works in Life)Coach had someone Write on the Board as we shouted out what really does works in Life, like Simple Services, Smiling, giving compliments, etc. And Asking What's in it for Me? What can I do to make someone's Day everyday? Now Ask yourself, What's in it for YOU? What Can you do to make someone's Day? What Works for you? And if you do that, you'll be able to start looking at life in a different perspective, and will eventually get to an eternal perspective! :D

Crazy Day!
Today was so crazy, I kind of wish that I could just start this day over again and just have a clear mind! Wow! I was such a space cadet today! :P I woke up and got ready. I went all the way to the bus stop, and right before the bus was supposed to come, I realized I forgot my Wallet which had my Bus pass in it! And I was like CRAP! And I had to walk back to my apartment(which wasn't too far away to begin with), I also forgot my Scarf, and forgot to put on another layer of clothing to keep myself from freezing my Bum off! It was 3 Degrees Fahrenheit! I don't remember Utah Getting that cold especially in Utah County! I thought it was usually in the 20's or something, and really I'm fine with that! But I am not equipped with Winter clothing, I mostly have spring and Summer wear. I have a few hoodies, and I can't really wear a hoodie that Says Lehi Swimming in the front, and "Swimmers stay focused Zan-Shin" in the back to work... and a Girls Camp Hoodie from when I was a Stake YCL on my 2nd to last year of Girls Camp! I need some boots, and some sweaters that I can wear to work... I don't know, and some longsleeved shirts would do the trick! :D haha! I just made a Christmas Wish list and didn't even mean to! LOL
Anyways, When I got back to my Apartment, I called my work and left a message that I would be late to work, because I was a space cadet and forgot my bus pass, and missed the bus, and I would be there close to 10 at the latest(because I didn't know the next bus would take me to the hospital too! Which was Sweet!) I ended up getting there between 9:30 and 9: 45! OH! I felt so stupid! And then I forgot my bag that has one of my favorite books in it, and it had my Lunch. The sad thing was I couldn't remember if I left it at my apartment or even on the Bus(which would have been really really bad! :P ): So, I kind of just let it by because I was pretty sure that I left it at my aparentment. Then I get to work, and I have a bag of nuts that I like to snack on! :D and I started chewing and I felt a little bit of pain in my jaw, and I realize what the problem was cause I usually never had that kind of problem. My Top Left Wisdom tooth is almost in and my gums on the bottom part of my jaw I felt signs of "teething" going on, and my bottom left tooth is going to break in soon, and I was like oh Crap! So I decided to finally at last make an appointment with my Buddy(My dentist, I've called him Buddy since I was like 4 years old! :). And I have one tomorrow at 11:30 A.M. Oh thank heavens! I haven't had a cleaning in almost a year(ooppsies! :P), and hopefully I can take my Wisdom Teeth out before the end of the year. I don't have much time at all! Ahh! I hope I'll be able to eat something at Christmas! Christmas Dinner is one of my favorite meals of the Year! :D I felt very Satisfied with myself, and I actually felt excited to go to the Dentist(which never happens anymore since I got Diagnosed with TMJD a Jaw Disorder Temporomandibular Muscular Joint Disorder). Every time I go there I always come home with one tired Jaw and feeling exhausted like before I got diagnosed, I never understood why or how my mom would come home feeling so exhausted and tired every time she had an appointment, untill about 3-4 years ago after I got Diagnosed! I Love my Dentist like crazy, but I hate going because I have to have a clamp to keep my mouth open after my jaw getting tired! :P Yuckies! I know I have to get my Wisdom Teeth out, and I am a little nervous because I heard that if you let them grow in and they give you problems it'll take more time to heal. Oh I hope not! I can't afford to be missing work, I don't want to be stuck in bed for a week, I have rent to pay! But maybe that's just me being a worry wart! And if it is true that it takes longer for someone to heal from getting the Wisdom Teeth out, PLEASE DON'T TELL ME! Or else I'll just not want to really do it. As long as I am not awake while they're taking them out! I'll be fine! hehehe! ;) Get this! I went on Facebook during a Short break and my mom Wrote on my wall and said to not forget my Dentist appointment tomorrow at 11:30! I replied "I know, I made the appointment this morning." It was so funny! They called my mom to have her remind me when I already knew about it that morning, because I was the one that set the appointment! At least they were on top of things! :D Buddy's Office is pretty much Awesome! :D
