Soccer. . .

This is going to be a short post. However very learn-worthy. OK! So the other day I was asked by my friend Chris to go and play soccer with him and his friends. First let me tell you that, yes, I do love sports. But only sports that I am pretty good at. Now I can kick straight and hard. However when playing with BOYS who have been on teams, well. . . let's just say it was intimidating. To the point. Today, while driving to church, I saw some people playing the cherished game they love, soccer. I thought to myself, I REALLY do want to learn how to play. Well after watching, very carefully for I was still driving, I texted my friend Chris (this kid is amazing from what I've seen) and asked him to teach me how to play.

Then later in the day he said, "Do you want me to teach the rules too?"

And I replied, "Maybe another lesson. I don't really care about those. I mean if I'm being honest."

So what did I learn today? To be honest and be praised for it! haha!

What did you learn today? In church? In your day?

Again. . .

Two posts in one day. . . AGAIN! But technically since I am still kind of on Virginia time it's the next day! Take it however you please.

Want to know a pet peeve of mine? It's great. Totally appropriate seeing as how I've just returned to my home in Arizona and to get home I had to take a plane. . .

WEEEELL I'm going to shout out anyways and tell the world. Or the people who read my awesome-tastic blog. My pet peeve is: HATING PEOPLE WHO USE THEIR CELL PHONES ON THE AIR PLANE. Why does this bother me so? It's not because I am superstitious to any degree. Not entirely at least. However when THE CAPTAIN of the flying hunk of metal thousands of feet above the earth ground tells you to "Turn off you cell phones during the flight, UNTIL we get to [insert airport]," THEN JUST DO IT! This has happened one time before. Same airport. What do you NOT understand? What the freak is so important you put MY life in danger of crashing to a painful death, or painful survival. On the plane as we are in the air, finally after leaving the airport thanks to delays and storms, we are no where near civilization. I mean, people we ARE in the air, basically space. As I look out the window, I think, "Oh man alive. If i were an artist, these are the kinds of views I would proudly paint." Then to my wonderful shock, I turn my head to the slight left to see the lady sitting a chair away from me. Across the isle is her dear, sweet little hubby. Doing what? Oh yes. . . Playing with his cell phone. . . On the Internet. WE ARE IN THE AIR BUDDY! NO SIGNAL UP THERE!

So to my amazing sense of knowledge in my cute head, I think, "Dude! If this plane come crashing all the way to the ground. And we all somehow live. . . I will personally sue you dumb cell-phone-using-ways-whilst-on-a-plane-very-high-up until you wished you had died along with the rest of the passengers."

Just saying. Please don't use your cellular device when they specifically say NOT to. This is the SECOND time someone has done this. Seriously. I will tell you straight up that you are not cool/popular/busy/whatever to be on your cell phone. Genius!

That's all!

Post about my cute outfits coming soon!

Peace.

P.S. I have a new cute-y nephew. BAM!

Last Post

Don't worry! It's not my forever last post. Just my last post in Virginia for a little while.

Pretty much, this summer has been AMAZING!

Filled with learning, new friends, adventures, and great family.

Have fun!

Adios! (That's to get me back into the spirit of living around Mexicans for a while!)

A Whole Lot of Nonsense

This Monday, I helped my sister, Mombabe, move into her new townhouse. First, I would like to express how much MORE I absolutely LOVE this house! Compared to the other crap hole, it's pretty cute and amazing. She already has pictures and decorations hanging in the house. It is officially her own home!

This Saturday I leave to go back home to Arizona. In some ways I am happy. In others, I am kind of sad. Virginia is a whole new world. It is filled with different people, different views, and different cultures. It is a beautiful state and I have met some really great people. When I first came so many months ago (May! Heck it's a long time! ha!) I was introduced to the sweetest girl, Mckenna. Now, let me tell you that I am not a girl person. Give me a boy to hang out with any day because, like me, they are straight up and know what's up. But Mckenna really helped me come alive in the church. She is so strong and through her example and kindness, is has made me strong. Like I said, I'm not a girl friend having kind of girl. Then another girl moved into the ward. I swear she is the funniest and so cute. I love her and her example. Plus she has the cutest taste in clothes. There are a lot of people in this singles branch of whom I will miss. Like my home teachers. One sometimes has an English accent. Yes, only sometimes. The first time i met him he was speaking pure like American (no accent). The next time, there it was. I guess it's a come and go type of thing. The other has such a good spirit about him. And he speaks like SEVEN different languages. Which is just cool in and of itself. There are tons of people I will miss.

I think I will miss my sister the most. She is so crazy, funny, loveable, fun (fun and funny are two different things), and so great. I love that she and I (along with everyone of my sisters) can just sit and talk and have a good time. Put aside our differences and talk. It's great to know that our mom raised all of us to be similar, but completely different. And it's great to know that our mom taught us how to love each other. I'll miss Mombabe's family. All the cute phrases and sayings and fights. Seriously people the fights are THE. BEST.

Although I will miss all of these things and the people the most, it's time to go back to the Arizona for a little while. I love knowing that I have a place to go back to. To a family and friends who love me. Well some friends, sorry for those who I don't love. Just kidding! ha! Anyways, I am so excited to go home and go to school. Crazy, but yes!

So while in the VA state I have made some very proud purchases. I will have a post on Saturday to show my pictures of all the GREAT (seriously it is THE BEST EVER) stuff that I got! Love love love love LOVE.

Mom, don't read this next little diddy here.
Do you know what? My missionary boyfriend got transferred. :( I cannot admire his attractive suit anymore. However I will be going home to an old sea, but with new eyes. Yeah boys! haha! Mom, ignore this part of my blog! Avert thine eyes!!!!!NOT! It's not like there's really any kind of anything special in here.

Well, Arizona watch out because I'm coming back fierce! Bay-bee!

I'll miss you sweet VA.

Peace.

Sunday Talk-full-ness!

A few weeks ago I was dumped by a boy over the telephone (I didn't tell my mom I was dating this boy either). I couldn't understand why and I was blind in the
fact that I did not see this coming whatsoever.
I promised myself a few years ago that I would never cry over a boy,
however, that has unfortunately been blown out of the water. I'm a girl, give me a break.
I have a point to this, stay with me. Well, this boy is very nice,
of course I didn't think so when I was bawling my eyes out for him.
However he is. Well, the very next Sunday, like three days later, I was called to
be a Sunday School teacher in my branch out here in Virginia while
here for the summer. It was great, but I didn't understand
why they would want me to be a
Sunday School teacher. Yes, I can talk and talk and talk.
But put me in front of an audience/crowd to speak publicly, and I become so
nervous that I talk so fast it feels like I am humming a song. On Pioneer Day, one of the counselors asks me to give a talk on August 9th. Today.
I'd been given almost three weeks of preparing time. And today was the result of it. I made my talk 20 minutes (while reading out loud to my calm self) and it only lasted about 10-12 minutes. Which is good. Better than 5 minutes.
Anyways, on the whole dumping situation. It really opened me up to the church. I was already pretty strong in the church.
Paying tithing, reading my scriptures daily and praying
daily (most days). Well when I got dumped (harsh word, trust me, I KNOW),
it made me focus all my attention into the lessons and talks that I would share with this Branch. It was great.
It humbled me and made me more obedient to the
willingness of the Lord. So, I can't believe I'm saying this,
I am very grateful that I got dumped. Why? It has made me stronger in something much more important. Plus now I can focus my attention on the cuter boys!
Like the ones in my branch. . . well ONE. Actually two, if you count the missionary.
But I can't, because he is a missionary! Darn! haha!

Now I just want to give a little summary of my talk. . . The topic? Personal revelation through prayer. I spoke on the need and how we should be prepared and can prepare to receive such divine information from the Lord and the Holy Ghost. Then I spoke of how we also need to be prepared to receive the answer. It will come by "His own time, according to His own will." There were some really good quotes as well. In general, I'm so glad that I got to research this topic and come to know of the truthfulness and surety of this principle.

Oh! And thanks to a cute outfit and a sister, Mombabe, who did my hair. . . I looked SUPER cute for it as well! Check my cute-ness out! ha!



(Don't mind the bags hanging on the door)

So this is a dress a bought at Target! See the tear
drop hole in the center, so cute!
My hair is in a side ponytail with a big white flower.
OH LOVE!

Yes I am a nerd because I take these kinds of photos. . .
of myself. But you got to love me!


Anyways! That's my post!

Peace!

My Fed-UP Post!

Seriously!!!!! Ugh! Do you want to know what I am fed-up with?
People thinking they are so much high and mightier than all the rest of us.
Please let me just say that you need to step off your high horse,
take a look at your world, then talk.
I am pretty sure that your world isn't as "high and MIGHTY" as
you make it out to be. Want to know what else? Back-talking. Yes, I am guilty of this,
but please. . . The only reason you do it is
because YOU ARE WRONG and you KNOW it. Yeah!! Back-talking may seem like you are all the more smart, let me deflate that big head. It's not, and neither are you. What else am i fed-up with? "One-Up-ing". I am also guilty of this. However
I've grown out of it for the most part. So stop. This is a LOSE-LOSE situation.
So again with the head deflating.

I also am Fed-UP with the people that are self-centered and

are constantly playing the victim

card or the mayrter card.

Please get over yourself.

There's more that I'm fed-up with too. Ex-Boyfriends.

You are an EX for a reason. You weren't good enough.
In other words, you kind of sucked. Though we "loved" you at the time, we now know. Thank you for "closing your heart and eyes to us, because they really opened up mine".
What else? I'm kind of sick of this babysitting gig I have
going on at the moment. Now I absolutely LOVE little kids. They
are SO cute and funny. Seriously, where they come up with what they say,
is beyond me. But I'm not ok! with rudeness, fighting,
back-talking, question (every 5 minutes) asking, not following the rules, and having
no concept of the real world because you are so fixated on video games.
So please. Fix that. Thanks!

This is my fed-up post!

Peace!

Have You Ever. . .

Have you ever had the feeling where someone is staring at you? And you want to look so bad, but if no one is staring, then it's like you're the freak? Have you ever had a hair hanging onto the back of you tickling your arm? But you can't for the life of you see it. So then the problem is whether there is really a hair there or not. . . Have you ever gotten the chills? You do the whole "body roll" thing, and that ONE person ALWAYS sees you acting weird. Have you ever tried to open a locked door? Then even though it's locked, you try again JUST to make sure it really IS locked? Again, that one person sees you. . .

I HAVE! Today in church I swear almost all of these happened to me. First I had the feeling someone was looking at me (I mean today is fast Sunday, testimony meeting, so someone could be staring me down to go up and fill the time in). So I turn to look, and turns out no one is. I'm just conceited (duh someone has to stare at me 24/7). ha! Then I had an hair on me, in Sunday school. Not only was the hottie-off-limits-aka-the-current-missionary-of-my-ward (shhhh. . . that's a secret! haha! And he wants to write to me! SCORE one for the off limits boy!) watching my helpless search for this stupid hair, but so was my friend Chris and some random kid. So again I felt like a freak. Then I had the whole CHILL thing. haha! Man, I was entertaining. OH, the last! SO I'm walking out to the car and as I reach in my purse I accidentally hit the panic button on the keys, so it's honking like crazy until I pull the keys out from my purse, and hit the panic button. Only to get to the car, and try to open the locked door. I unlocked it, got in, and laughed really hard to myself. I am so funny!

I am a nerd and being such nerd I like to go and look for AWESOME quotes and post them as my book de face, facebook, status. Well I like them SO MUCH that I'm going to give you a taste of what my facebook stuff is like.

“Forbidden pleasures alone are loved immoderately; when lawful, they do not excite desire.”

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes." - Marcel Proust, a French Novelist

“Change is the essence of life.Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become.”

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." Peter Drucker

"...but that doesn't give them the right to decide the meaning of my life as if I were some dream. I decide the meaning. If my life is a dream then it's my dream, I'm the dreamer." Orson Scott Card

“Love is when you shed a tear and still want him, it's when he ignores you and you still love him, it's when he loves another girl but you still smile and say I'm happy for you, when all you really do is cry.”

"... if he was a good man, how could he leave me? So he must not be a good man. But if he isn't good, then why does it hurt so much to lose him?" Orson Scott card from Enchantment. Ruthie thinking abut Ivan (ee-vahn)

“Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”

"Like running the hurdles. Work so hard, jump over every one, fast, high enough but no higher, because you can't afford to hang in the air. And then, when the race is over, you're dripping with sweat, either they beat you or you beat them ... and then a couple of guys come out and move the hurdles out of the way. Turns out they were nothing. All that work to jump over them, but now they're gone." Orson Scott Card

"Your mother surrounds you every moment," she said. "I know, because I feel her love for you in my own arms, around you now." Orson Scott Card

"There are three kinds of people. Suckers, Victims, and Grown-ups. Being a Grown-up, means choosing your own destiny"


Those are only some quotes I really like!

That's all for now!

Peace!
