New Hair!!

Ok I went to get my hair trimmed yesterday when Big Sis and Cousin S started teasing me by saying how I was going to get 4 inches cut off and so I decided what the heck, cut it all off (shocking them, especially my mommy ;) ). We had also been discussing the Twilight movie (Amazing might I add, absolutely loved it!) and Cousin S decided I would look really cute with an Alice inspired cut since I'm so "petite". The cutting began, I look down and see 6 inch long strands falling to the ground. If you ever want to get your heart pumping, get her hair chopped on a whim. So, she finishes cutting and then styles it for me and whalaw! Short hair Stacie! I happen to really like it (I think haha still getting used to it) and it makes my headband highlight really cute but I want to know what all you guys think so be sure to comment and let me know! And be nice about how I look, these were literally taken as I was climbing in bed to go to sleep.

The BIG 2-0

Today is my twentieth birthday! I made it!! I am officially no longer a teenager. After 17 1/2 years my mommy no longer has teenagers. I think she has earned it don't you. I mean 17 1/2 years of living with teenagers cannot be easy, especially during the 13-16 year old stage. I remember what I was like and wouldn't want to have that much time of me then. I'm not saying I'm no longer like that at times, but I'm working on it! What can I say, I'm a work in progress. The Lord is still molding me into the woman He wants and needs me to. It has been an exciting and adventurous journey so far and I can't wait to find out what else He has in store for me! I want to say thank you to all of my family, my wonderful best friend (who is basically my sister), and all my other friends for helping me get to where I am today. It is because of you I am who I am. Your examples, guidance, and directions have helped me through so many trials, difficult times, and times when I just needed an answer or someone to listen to me. You all have amazing patience putting up with me so thank you for everything you have and still do for me. I hope I can continue to grow and make all of you proud of who I am. And most importantly, I hope to be able to make my Father in Heaven proud to have me as a daughter so that when I meet him again I can look him in the eye and know I am worthy of the love He always gives to me.

My Writing's

Every once in awhile I just need to write, it's how I am able to get everything out and onto paper. This first one I wrote while in my Book of Mormon class my second semester up at BYU. I was having a pretty difficult time not knowing what to do with my life, where to go, and not wanting to be at school anymore. Through all this I learned I am a Daughter of a King and I have the love of the most powerful and amazing person in the universe. I am important to Him.

I just wrote this one today in Stake Conferance. It hasn't been edited quite as much but I think the point is still pretty clear. Obstacles are a daily occurance in our lives and we need to be able to ask the Lord for his help and direction. I need to thank ZB for this picture. I got it from this post of her's.

20th Birthday

Yesterday was my best friend's 20th BIRTHDAY!!! In honor of her I made this page celebrating her wonderful life. CC is the most amazing person to me, she has gone through so much and come out on top. She is a constant example to me in charity, love, kindness and so many other things. I'm grateful to be able to call her my friend.

Boston

These are a few pictures of some great memories on the Boston trip for Seniors and Orchestra Council members. From meeting at the airport at 4:30 in the morning (after not sleeping at all the night before), to unexpected snow falls. If you ever want a good laugh take 25 AZ born and raised high school students to Boston and then have it snow unexpectedly. Being creative in your wardrobe became a neccecity in order to stay warm! Then came the rooms with two queen size beds and one pull out. Six people per room. We ended up three to our bed just cause it was more fun. :)

Finals

Finals is never a fun time for any college student. Extra stress, more work, and tests. You tend to go crazy during it and then it gets very...Interesting at two o'clock in the morning as my roommate C and I found out the fun way! We were going into our very last day of tests and were basically loopy and ended up getting extremely hyper at about two in the morning. It turned into some great vidoes and pictures! :) The middle picture was taken during my clogging final with my dance partner for that semester :)

Hot Dog

The story behind this picture is this: these hot dogs were a cheap lunch for a poor college student. I loved eating these the only problem was my mouth is to small to get it all in my mouth easily. Well my roommate, two guy friends, and a girl who lived two floors below me decided that it would be funny to "help" me eat the hot dog and shoved it in my mouth, and taking pictures of me trying to eat it. It is an experience I will never forget and always laugh at. :)

Mar

I got a text from my good friend Mar today asking why none of the Pictures I have of her posted are "normal". My response cause she is never serious in pictures, but I searched my pictures and found these and so in honor of Mar, as normal as anyone I know can get. Plus I got to use my new scrapbooking things!!

Heaven

I've been thinking a lot lately about agency and my own personal part in this world. I wonder whats the point, I am just one person it's not like I'm going to make any difference. Then comes the realization that I am a Child of God. Ever thought of how big that really is? I mean I have a Heavenly Father who is an all powerful being and He loves ME. How much more important can you get. And I am important to this world, my opinion matters. In this upcoming Election my vote does matter. God is a merciful God because he gave us agency, He isn't trying to torture us and make our lifes so horrible, that is Us. We as citizens of the United States are doing this to ourselves. We need to finally get up off our couches, stop complaining and DO something about everything we complain about. We have been so blessed in our lives, we live in a free country, we have so many conveniences at the tips of our finger tips, actually have a say in what goes on in our gov't, and we have the True and Living Gospel on the earth yet we aren't happy enough. I say enough is enough. It is time we finally show our Father in Heaven how thankful we are for everything He has GIVEN us or how do we expect to continue to be blessed the way we have been. It is our decision. What is yours going to be?

P.S. sorry no scrapbooking, I'm not connected to my external hard drive.
