Photo Bucket!

Oh my gosh! I'm having too much fun with photo bucket! :D My mom told me about it and when I first tried to sign on... I thought I had to pay... so I didn't do it... But then I tried again recently, and I simply was having a blonde moment before, and felt really stupid about it! haha! :P But here's some of the things I've done on there! :D

The Lyrics to this was written by one of my institute teachers students and gave him permission to share it! It's so amazing! The lyrics are meant to be sung to the tune of  "Come Thou Font of Every Blessing"

The Sinner's Psalm

Lord, My strength is growing thinner, 

As I rock upon this sea.

'Mid the tumult, as a sinner. 

And the waves engulfing me,

Comes a light unto my weak eyes.

Piercing through the dark of night;

Through the Savior there is sunrise--

Sweet forgiveness is in sight!

Holy Father, I beseech Thee,

Tune Thine ear to hear my prayer;

Set Thine angels roundabout me,

Loose my feet from Satan's snare.

Bear me up, if Lord, I stumble.

Dry my tears if still I weep.

If my hear is meek and humble,

Seek me, Lord, They Wand'ring Sheep.

Unto Jesus, Lord and Savior

I do give my willing soul;

By His grace and loving favor,

Is my broken heart made whole.

In my God thus far I've trusted,

And have not been led astray;

Ever, Father, shall I trust Thee

I shall make Thy Word my way.

Though sore Trials be thrust upon me,

Bitter cups I may partake,

I will drink them up entirely--

Not my God will I forsake!

Lord, how joyous is Thy Mercy!

O, how perfect is Thy plan!

Let my heart reflect Thy glory,

May I live with Thee again!

"I'm no Beauty Queen, I'm just Beautiful Me!"

Daddy Daughter Moments are always Priceless! <3

Yeah, I know I messed up on this one, but you live and learn right? ;)

My First Edit! :D

This is pretty much one of my favorites ever! :D

I've just been playing around with the effects and other things what looks good and what doesn't! :D I have way too much fun with it and I'm addicted! :D

30DBC Day 13

Day 13 — Write a letter to: Someone you wish could forgive you

To be honest I wish Heavenly Father to forgive me for the Stupidity that I've done the past couple years! I Know nobody's perfect and things happen. But life's been so interesting, and so tough lately because, recently I finally figured out what I truly wanted in life. And it has been a rewarding process, and it has been really tough lately! I've been seeing my bishop because of the struggles I've had. But I'm truly grateful for the Atonement of Christ! If it wasn't for that we'd all be screwed. I seriously wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't for the Atonement of Christ! Now that I'm going through a process, I'm learning more of the Gospel, and learning to have a better Personal Worship in my life! I truly Love the Book of Mormon! That book has helped me even if I don't read anything that helps me in my personal life, it always has something to just give me peace that I'm doing the right thing, and I'm heading in the right direction! It's just so comforting, and feels so great to just be living the way I should! Being able to make goals of what I want, and need in my life! I'm grateful for the friends that encourage me to do the best that I can be! I'm grateful for my parents for their support, and Love that they have for me! I've definitely changed for the better, and I enjoy of who I am today! I wouldn't change the past couple years for anything! I'm grateful for the guys I dated, because, even though both of them were so tough to date, it turned out to be worth it considering where one of them is at, as well as where I stand right now! I'm so excited for whatever comes at me because, I know I'm stronger that I can kick Satan to the ground, even if I'm struggling so hard to just keep myself on my two feet! I know that I can do it as long as I know that I'm not alone, and Heavenly Father will always help me through anything as long as I turn to him to give me some peace of a certain situation. As well as just having to courage to tell my loved ones what is going on in my life.

I want to know: How do you think others view you?

I honestly have no idea... I'm sure people think that I'm a sweet girl, innocent, and very smilie! Has a good attitude, People think that I may be beautiful. I honestly can't read minds so I don't know what they're thinking of me! I know of what people close to me, those that I work with, those regulars that come to my work practically everyday, think that I'm a good friend, great listener, cares for everybody around me and that I go out of my way to help people that are in need of help! :D I'm very loyal to my friends and family I defend them fully when situations may arise! I'm loving and caring for those around me. I really have no idea! :P But if you'd like to tell me what you think about me! I'd be honored to hear it! ;)

Tell me Your favorite musician and why?

One of my favorite Musicians is actually an LDS artist and one of many of whose music I enjoy the most! His Name is Paul Cardall! He plays classical Piano to New age music. One of the main reasons as to why I like this artist is because, He was born with Congenital Heart Disease where he should've passed away hours after birth, but some doctors did a special heart surgery to help him stay alive. He lived with a very very poor heart for 30 years. Almost 2 years ago he was finally able to get an emergency heart Transplant and he is doing amazing! His story of that journey is heart warming and full of blessings and Miracles from our Heavenly Father! His book is called "Living for Eden" It's published from a blog that he kept updated for his family, friends and fans to look at to see how he was doing. In his book he talks about memories, lessons he learned, as well as grief and joy with in his life. He also shares what his heart looked like. It's very interesting and very miraculous that he lived with the heart he had for 30 years! Now he can enjoy the next 30 with his wife and beautiful Daughter! ;)

30-day blog challenge. Day 12

Day 12 — Write a letter to: The person you hate most/caused you a lot of pain

*** Caution: Getting really personal***(But only because I feel right sharing this)

Dear ...,

      I want you to know I don't hold anything against you anymore. I don't feel hate, I feel a special Love that I can't describe because of the things I've been through this forgiving process. And I wish that you would be able to read this if you were still a live... But you probably are reading over my shoulder or if someone happens to find this blog. I want to share with you what I went through(I'm only going to share what I feel I need to say). 

It took me about a week or so to finally tell my parents as to what happened at the park that one day 12 years ago. I told my dad bits and pieces of what happened. Then about a week after the experience, I was woken up by my dad and I told my parents every detail of what happened. They were sorely worried about me and I refused any kind of help that they offered( counseling, help from the bishop, etc...), I was very prideful and wanted to do it all on my own. After you moved I felt more free and felt that I could be free and happy. But, I found times where things were brought up, and I would get flash backs like no other I hated it! Those flash backs were in my dreams, and today I don't have any dreams because I'm afraid that I'll have dreams of something happening to me, or someone else that is close to me getting attacked by someone that has an interesting mind like you had.  You denied that you did anything to me when my parents called your parents. They grounded you for only 2 weeks! I didn't like that. But I had to learn to let it go. In 4th Grade I transfered to a different teacher so that I wouldn't be in the same class as you would be! I no longer trusted you or any other men in my life.

When I saw you in 8th grade, all of the flashbacks came back and knowing that you were in the same school as I was made me truly struggle inside! I was always scared of you! Other Girls had crushes on you, and I only knew you for who you were! And I could tell that you were still having the same habits with the Lying and other habits that you may have developed. When you were in my foods class, I was ok as long as you were at the opposite end of the class room. When Mrs. White put me almost directly next to you, was when I got scared, and I confronted to her that I wasn't comfortable with where I was sitting. She moved me back, and put someone else there. And I was fine again for the most part. With the state of mind I was in that year, I  struggled with my grades, and everything else in my life. I should've had help, but still didn't get it. My younger Sister(at the time we didn't know what she was till she was born) became my motivation to live, I didn't have anything else keeping me up.

In High School, I finally got tired of everything that was going on in my head, I needed to get myself to move on, I knew I needed to and I wanted it! I just had no idea how to do it? So I asked my Seminary teacher and I treasure that letter he gave me inside my institute Scriptures! I told him that I was excited for my youngest sister to come into my family, and I asked how I would be able to get myself to move on? This is part of what he said to me:  "I am excited you are getting another baby sister this month....What a Difficult and hurtful situation. There is an answer to your question though. The answers are found in the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ suffered for thing that we did not do wrong but are still painful. I would invite you to read, ponder, and Pray about Alma 7:7-12. Then, I would invite you to pray and ask the Lord specifically to help heal your hear and your mind. He may not completely take away the memory of what happened, but you will find greater peace, and greater strength to overcome the bad effects. I know he can heal those been harmed by others. We can ask our Father in Heaven to cleanse, and heal us through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Try asking for this specifically in your prayers. Council with the Lord, Continue to tell him how you feel and how you are hurt, then ask him to help. I know the Lord hears and answers our prayers. Jesus has the capacity to give you a new heart and heal the wound that you could not help."  

I know he helped me out when I read that letter! I am so blessed to have a loving Heavenly Father that is there for me to help me through my trials, and even though some of those I put upon myself. I know that as long as I live the gospel now, I know I will get what he thinks what I deserve.  I know that he helps those that have been victimized and everybody else in the world! I know the Atonement works and it has helped me to become the person I am today! And I know I will be used as a tool to help others heal! It's been a really rewarding experience throughout my life! :D I Love the Gospel! It has helped me and has always been so constant! I'm grateful for the Book of Mormon that it's helped me stay out of temptation and has helped make my day so much better!  In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.


My Senior year was when I officially forgave you for the things that were done so long ago. In church I heard that there was going to be a fireside about the "Power of Forgiveness" I knew right away I needed to be there! The speaker was so amazing! Half of his family passed away from a car accident just over 4 years ago, and he came and talked about the experience and what lead up to that point in his life. He talked about experiences that taught him how to forgive those that did wrong to him(robbery mostly..), and when he got in the car accident he was able to forgive the 17 year old young man that was DUI and killed his pregnant wife and 2 of his children(not including the unborn child). He talked about as he was looking around in his surroundings, seeing his dead wife and unconcious children(one of them was at a Football Practice), He looked at the 17 year old young man and just prayed to Heavenly Father to help him forgive and hope for the best for this young man. He didn't hold a grudge from that Car Accident. He doesn't blam anybody at all!. When I heard that This man had immense peace and a huge amount of Love for the 17-year old. I thought to myself. "I want that!" and heard a voice, saying "Ask." So I gave it a try I prayed that I would be able to forgive you, and hope for the best for you, and have a certain kind of Love that can not be ever explained in words. I felt at peace and such relief that I started crying! I felt such joy, and was so happy that I felt that Senior was going to be the best year ever! And it did because of a change of heart, and Attitude! I had an amazing time through out that year. 


Last time I saw you before you passed away, was 2 months before you passed away(at this time is was just over a year from when I first forgave him and put him in the Lord's hands), you came by my work to buy some Syringes. I don't know what you used them for but considering of what I heard of what you passed away from, I wasn't surprised to see you getting some at the time. Although I felt some grief, that you weren't doing anything to make you truly happy in your life. I was sorrowful for you. I wanted to see you happy, and make things all worth it! That's how much I love you, and since I know where you're at! I hope you are accepting the gospel, and being able to accept it as well and hopefully someone will do your work for you! I do remember recognizing your piercing, amazing Blue eyes, they were definitely lost. And you still had the behavior of snooping and being a silly little boy of trying to pick a specific needle you needed. My heart was beating so fast and I was freaking so much on the inside that I had my co-worker friend to ring you out. I was so scared out of my life to talk to you. Just because you forgive someone doesn't mean you have to talk to that person. Sometimes you're just not meant to be in each others lives!


I hope you are doing well, and I hope that you realize what truly brings true joy! And I hope you will be one of those to help convince those not to look, or act on stupid acts! I hope you are teaching others in the next life about the wonderful gospel! I'm so grateful I let you go into the Lord's hands when I did. It would've brought more regret if I didn't!

This song is a like but not love or maybe not even hate, I honestly don't care, I Like songs that have a good beat, and sometimes that can be bad if it means that the lyrics aren't so good... :P I know I need to change that... But this song is so annoying and over played on the radio and played at dances all the time! :P But, I do know how to have fun with this song regardless how many times I've heard it! I just let myself have fun! :D

I want to know: How you got one of your scars.

I have 2 scars on my face, but I'll talk about the one that you can actually see. It is on my right side cheek. My dimple. I used to have 2 dimples on my right side, till I got bit by a Cocker Spaniel. I was 5 years old and a friend convinced me to hug her dog. Yeah bad idea... since then I have a slight fear of dogs, but I am also a dog lover if a dog loves humans! :D I'm a little shy of dogs of those that snap at people, and don't like strangers so much. Anyways, that dog bite I got made my 2 dimples fuse into one. So it's a line going up and down. I hope you'll be able to see it. If you're having a hard time seeing it, you'll definitely see it a lot better when you see me in person! ;)

Show me A photograph of the town you live in.

Plain and simply, I Live somewhere in Utah, United States. ;)

Dear Great Grandpa Bourne,

"Yours To Hold"

By: Skillet 

I see you standing here

But you're so far away

Starving for your attention

You don't even know my name

You're going through so much

But I know that I could be the one to hold you

[Chorus:]

Every single day

I find it hard to say

I could be yours alone

You will see someday

That all along the way

I was yours to hold

I was yours to hold

I see you walking by

Your hair always hiding your face

I wonder why you've been hurting

I wish I had some way to say

You're going through so much

Don't you know that I could be the one to hold you

[Bridge:]

I'm stretching but you're just out of reach

You should know

I'm ready when you're ready for me

And I'm waiting for the right time

For the day I catch your eye

To let you know

That I'm yours to hold

[Altro:]

I'm stretching but you're just out of reach

I'm ready when you're ready for me 

I want to know: A story from your childhood.

Growing up I walked to school, I would pick up a friend of mine to go. I was usually early, so I would end up waiting just a little bit for him to be ready to go! We would walk different routes to school! It was really fun to figure out which way was the shortest way(where every way we went was the same distance and took the same amount of time!) I just know that we did a different route almost everyday. Some did feel like they took forever and others felt like it didn't take long at all! Walks to school consisted of teasing, arguing, and everywhere in between! there were a few times that our arguments got so bad that we wouldn't walk together  for a couple days then, we'd be over it and forgive each other for the funny little thing we argued over and we'd make up and be friends again!  There were a lot of good times! :D

Tell me: A song that makes you fall asleep

Amarantine By: Enya

You know when you give your love away
It opens your heart,
everything is new.
And you know time will always find a way
to let your heart believe it's true.

You know love is everything you say;
a whisper, a word,
promises you give.
You feel it in the heartbeat of the day.
You know this is the way love is.

Chorus
Amarantine...
Amarantine...
Amarantine...
Love is LOVE IS LOVE love

You know love may sometimes make you cry,
so let the tears go,
they will flow away,
for you know love will always let you fly
-how far a heart can fly away!

Chorus

You know when love's
shining in your eyes
it may be the stars
falling from above.
And you know love
is with you when you rise,
for night and day belong to love.

I Love this song like crazy! But it is so relaxing to listen to! :D haha!

I want to know: About a regret you have.

The regret that I have is something that I can't really Control. Other than that, I don't regret anything because all of the choices I've made whether good or bad. They've made me the person I am today! :D And through the atonement and as long as I do the best I can to live life the best I can. That's when it is worth it! :D
