Abby sang with BYU's Women's Chorus in General Conference, which for those of you who do not know is the ULTIMATE goal on any choir member's bucket list. Singing in the Conference Center for a worldwide session (viewed by MILLIONS) is not something that happens every day.<br />

My beautiful friend and old roomie Mariah was getting married at the end of January and so I threw a little lingerie shower for her at my apartment. I was very pleased with how it turned out, so if any of y'all need a shower in the future, I'm your girl!<br />
<br />
The theme was a Bridal Lingerie Brunch and my friend is from London, so we definitely tried to keep it classy.<br />

<br />
Sorry for the belated post, but here is a recap of our lovely 2016 Christmas. This year with all of the kids in Utah and the need to navigate so many work schedules, we had Christmas away from home. My wonderful Gramma was in Disneyland for Christmas, and so she let us commandeer her home for our little family celebration this year.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

To start off, Abby and I went on a trip to Salt Lake specifically to see the Christmas displays that they have at the Grand America Hotel.<br />

So this cute pup was a surprise present from my Aunt & Uncle to my cousins, so we watched over her on Christmas Eve so that they could surprise the kids on Christmas day. I love puppy cuddles and she is obviously adorable so I was on cloud 9 the entire time.<br />

<br />
For my religion class we are instructed to share a post each week that examines a particular passage of interest from the Scriptures, and so I wanted to share here! The site I use for that class is listed below, and expect an update every week around Saturday or so.<br />

Thankfully, I repented of that attitude and I allow myself to get pumped for Christmas as early as I want to!<br />
<br />
This year is extra exciting because I have so many loved ones who are getting married around this time of year, so there is much more to celebrate!<br />

I am so in love with this holiday and this season. Christmas is what makes winter worth it, and I love that this is one holiday that we celebrate for a month at a time - not just for a single day. I work at a children's clothing store and we began playing non-stop Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving. Just last night I had a woman ask me, "How does this not drive you crazy?!" While I may not be a fan of all the *interesting* renditions they choose to play in the store, I could never get tired of Christmas music. In fact, I use Christmas music as my pick-me-up year round if I ever am feeling down.</div>

My sister Abby is in Women's Chorus at BYU and had a beautiful Christmas choir concert the past two nights. One of the choirs sang the Wexford Carol, and then Abby found this video on Youtube that illustrates it beautifully.</div>

Here are a few of the ideas that I have gathered over the years:<br />
<br />
<h3>
Easter</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.lds.org/bible-videos/videos/the-lords-triumphal-entry-into-jerusalem?lang=eng" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzFxK8ik8JPpMuAveyViqLJuYViUuDXpvYdc8Yq7e9cV1rpyn2nzfOiEClTPqa7pZ-YskN4dgdvTiurZM5OxB9HTBsrsXF3J_KF5Nf8VPh3vkXhq-fblubCcOzX2-ss9MNLNKdpmYkO36Z/s640/christ-in-jerusalem.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
- On the Saturday evening before Easter, hold a candlelight dinner and read the Book of Mormon account of the three days of darkness before Christ’s visit to the Americas.<br />
Then use the time to discuss the blessings of having a Savior of the world.<br />
- Each day on Holy Week share with children what happened to Christ on that day 2,000 years ago.<br />
<br />
<h3>

- Have an "Ultimate-Summer" day, where you do all of the summer activities at once. Swimming, picnics, baking, playing tag, turning on the sprinklers, going star gazing, etc.<br />
<br />

- Watch one Harry Potter movie a night in the week leading to Halloween.<br />
- Pumpkin carving or painting, of course!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Christmas</h3>

- On Christmas Eve have a candlelight dinner, and prior to eating pop Christmas Crackers (everyone is REQUIRED to wear the hat - no exceptions!)<br />
- Serve meat, cheese, pita bread, and fruit for Christmas Eve dinner to symbolize a meal in Jerusalem.<br />
- Open PJ's on Christmas Eve after reading the Nativity story in Luke.<br />
- Growing up away from extended family meant that our Christmastime traditions centered around our own little family, and I want to keep true to that even if in the future I live close to my parents and in-laws. That means that we will keep from visiting people from 5 pm Christmas Eve until the 26th,<br />
so that we can have Christmas to ourselves.<br />
- When I was little I saw a commercial where a child gives Santa a slice of cheese in addition to the cookies, and the next morning the living room is overflowing with presents. Ever since then I have included a piece of cheese on Santa's plate, and I think it would be fun to continue to do so.<br />
<br />
I plan on expanding this list, but these are some of the must-haves. If anyone has other suggestions for fun family traditions, I would love to hear!<br />

For spring term I was enrolled in a class at BYU but I took the rest of the summer off, which I really appreciated.<br />
<br />
With Abby leaving the nest, our parents officially have had every kid move out. We celebrated/mourned by taking a vacation to our childhood and current favorite, Disneyland. OF COURSE it was the best week of my life, and OF COURSE I am a bit upset that we had to leave at all. As school is picking up I feel the rising need to eat churros and lounge in Fantasyland. I am so horrible at taking pictures, which I really want to do better at, but thankfully my family stepped in and helped document this trip.<br />

This was an extra special trip to my home-away-from-home, because we stayed in an actual Disney resort, which is a first for the Booth clan.<br />

We left early Monday morning and figured we would get maybe a half day at the park, however we were #blessed and ended up getting to party all day long!<br />

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with the entire family, which was absolutely amazing. It is crazy how much we have grown and yet how things haven't really changed since I was little.<br />

And I don't think y'all understand how STOKED I was that we used Christmas Crackers. I had been wanting to use one of those paper crowns for forever, so this really was a perfect Christmas.</div>

So, sorry?? I guess???<br />
<br />
This past semester has been a doozy, to be honest. On the first day of school I panicked and immediately wanted to drop half of my classes, which I nearly ended up doing. I had my schedule set as if were continuing as a Stats major, but after that first day I realized there was no way I could enjoy college and also have more than one math class a day. Thankfully I was able to rearrange my schedule fairly successfully and I walked away from Fall 2015 with a respectable GPA.<br />
<br />
I am one of those annoying kids who panics if they get a B, forgets to do the readings, or gets to class late. I came into college knowing that it would be much more difficult to maintain my sanity with my old attitudes towards school performance, but I have found that despite difficult classes and large workloads, I can still be the same bratty nerd who sets ridiculous standards for herself.<br />
<br />
Sorry haha. ^ I got a bit sidetracked.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I have decided on a new path, and while it has taken a while to grow on me I am getting really excited for where this major will lead me. I just recently declared a Human Development major with a minor in Statistics. Hopefully I will be able to continue to grad school & receive my Masters, so that I can participate in research in Human Development and Family Life. <br />
<br />
I have always known that I want a major that will give me a lot of wiggle room and one that will give me more skills than what I need to be successful in my job - I want to be able in my personal life, as well. For example, nurses and doctors are able to apply what they know no matter the circumstance, and I would love to have one with me on a deserted island. Human Development is perfect because it gives me the breadth and depth I have been looking for, and I can use what I learn to better my own family and community.<br />

Overall last semester was amazing. I now live at Alpine Village, which is a thousand times better than I had hoped it would be. I have the B E S T roommates and I am amazed at how lucky I was to have been placed in the same apartment as them - we learn so much from each other and I just feel so loved every day.<br />

I think that sometimes it is so easy to forget your self worth and the literally endless possibilities that lay before you. I love this song because it is all about power that comes from within, and picking yourself up when you fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">That, and growing up my nickname was "Butterfly" so I'm basically destined to love this song.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That reminds me of an example someone gave once to help those in the audience better understand how strong God's love for us is and how it doesn't falter, even when we are sinful. Imagine that you have a baby who is just learning to walk. He will wiggle his way to standing with the support of your couch, put one chubby foot in front of the other, and happily waddle his way towards your open arms. But let's say he falls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two steps in he bellyflops onto the ground and his mission to walk across the room has failed. In this situation, what do you do? Do you chastise him, angrily berating your child for not getting it right? Do you groan in annoyance at his inability to walk? Do you tell him, "Your'e hopeless. Sorry son, but you failed now and so I guess there is no point in you trying again. You fell too hard to get back up."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You smile, make some baby noises, and welcome him to try again. It could take days, it could take weeks, but you keep on encouraging him to walk - no matter how many times he falls flat on his face. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God is the same as the loving parent in this situation. We fall, we sin, we aren't as steady on our feet as we should be. But rather than being angry at us and dooming us to live in misery, He smiles and welcomes us to try again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter how many times we fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter how far we have fallen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Better yet, He knows what our potential is. Despite what other people say, and even though a baby has no knowledge of what the future may hold, He knows that the little boy will not only walk, but he will run, skip, dance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just because you are on the ground now doesn't mean that you aren't destined to frolic in the sky.<br />

Ladies & Gents, McCall is back in the land of 10,000 lakes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I am at school in Utah I literally obsess every day over how beautiful the mountains & desert are. When I am in MN I obsess over how green & breath-taking my midwest abode is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so lucky to call both places home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have moved a lot in my lifetime. Every 4 or 5 years my family has packed up and started over in a new city, new state, and new life. I have friends in Utah, Wisconsin, Arizona, & Minnesota; I recognize "home" in the valley, the suburbia, the desert, & the lakefront. I have attempted to reinvent myself many times and in many places, and I often reflect back and wonder what kind of person I would be if my family had settled in one place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have learned so much from those around me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have seen examples of grace, kindness, and self-confidence. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have seen examples of pettiness, pride, and popularity.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While the first year after moving has always been difficult, at this point in my life I can say with certainty that I am so grateful to have had all the experiences I've had, to have met all the people I have met. Some brought lessons, others brought blessings, but in the end all helped shape me into who I am today. I have much I can still improve on but even now I have come to understand that there are some huge steps in my life that I would not have had the courage or preparation to take if it wasn't for the influence I've felt from those all across the nation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just want to take a few moments to thank some of my friends and leaders in my life who have left a lasting impression on me.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - --</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I learned to be myself and cherish childhood from <i>Courtney</i>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I learned that grace and strength can come from challenges </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from <i>Nicole</i>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I learned to be unapologetically you and to help those who </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">need a friend from <i>Anna</i>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I learned that there are some people who make you feel </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">happier just by being in the room with them from <i>Lindsey</i>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I learned that a sincere smile makes the most friends and that </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you should never let your bad mood get in the way of being </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">kind from <i>Madeline</i>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I learned body confidence and girl power from <i>Nikki</i>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I learned what it feels like to be in the presence of royalty from </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Allison</i>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">& last but certainly not least I learned of friendship and love </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from <i>Scamper</i>.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-- - -- - -- - -- - -- - -- - --<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is constantly changing and if we wish to find true happiness we must be willing to accept that change. Home is wherever your heart is - this rings true for me, and I am so grateful for the many places that I have been able to give a piece of my heart these past 19 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think little McCall would be proud of who & where I am today.</div>

So many great & exciting things have happened / are coming up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since my last post in February I turned 19 ½, I went on a weekend camping trip, and I played soccer while inside a large inflatable bubble.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my ½ birthday, my momma sent me all the ingredients that I can't buy for gluten-free s'mores.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For those who don't know me, there are a few things in life that I have a passion for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Netflix marathons, fresh flowers, the scent of cologne, new clothes-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& all these pale in comparison to my love for chocolate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Junior High I used to come home every day from school and either make myself s'mores or a big bowl of chocolate ice cream (healthy, I know)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I have been gluten-free, finding a suitable graham cracker replacement has been an absolute nightmare.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say, this was the best ½ birthday EVER.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
About 3 weeks ago a group of people from my ward decided to camp up in Diamond Springs, and hopefully visit the hot springs (we ran out of time unfortunately). It was FREEZING that night, the boys thought it would be funny to collapse our tent, and someone drove off in the middle of the night with our breakfast in their car, but it still was a fantastic trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next day we went to the color festival (which was absolutely CRAZY) and then got together and ate at the Cannon center as one big happy family.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(We cleaned up first, of course.)</span><br />

On a Friday night Liz & I decided to walk (we were hopelessly lost for like 30 minutes) to a park where free games of bubble ball soccer were being held!</div>

This is my super-belated post about General Conference - only my favorite time of year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For those who don't know, in the Mormon church we get together twice a year and listen to inspired messages from our church leaders. I am not kidding when I say that I wish we could have Conference every weekend: I just love it that much!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
General Conference is set up in 2-hour blocks, with four main sessions and two specialized sessions. The general sessions are split between Saturday & Sunday, so this means that the entire weekend is full of Conference goodness. This year was a bonus, since it fell on Easter weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here at college it is at first a bit strange not watching Conference with my family - I mean, that is how I have done it for the first 18 years of my life! Yet quickly I have found that Conference is Conference no matter where you are, no matter who you are with. My roommates, neighbors, and I all gathered in our living room and snuggled on the couch together, sang the hymns with gusto, and helped each other remember how to spell some of the foreign names that were on the screen for only a few seconds.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This weekend was heavenly.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In between sessions on Saturday we had a mini BBQ behind our apartment, and since I have General Conference weekend as one of my approved "cheat days," I ate like six hotdog buns</div>

I like to look for overall themes or particular messages that stick out to me each Conference, and this year I felt touched by these three main things: God's plan, marriage & family, and temple work.</div>

Since it was Easter, I also noticed the additional emphasis of Christ's love and the Atonement, which in my mind ties together with EVERY message given.</div>

We are trying to be more spontaneous and so yesterday my roommate, my neighbor, & I drove to Moab for the day. 6+ hours in a little old car that wheezed as it went up the mountains and friends who love to sing along made for both a fun journey and an awesome destination.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Right now I am eating some horribly undercooked gluten-free cookies and I am definitely </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">already in the regret stage.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life has been crazy lately. Last week my Grampa passed away, I need to pick a major within the next 30 days, and I have some other future plans that require a lot of preparation and self-evaluation, which I am not the best at. I feel like in my classes I am only half there, as if this semester doesn't quite </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
feel real to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel concerned and a little lost but I have not let these decisions and situations override what could be the best semester ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My roommates and the next-door neighbors have never been closer, and it is great to have the level of trust and comfort that we have with one another.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still have an awesome schedule and my professors are perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I go on walks more often and I am super excited for a warm Utah spring (as opposed to a prolonged Minnesota winter.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have the means to take better care of my body and I have stuck to my goal of visiting </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the temple weekly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But most of all, I am content with the pace I am moving at.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't been on any dates, I don't have plans for a study abroad, there are no job opportunities lined up for me, and I still don't have that pesky housing situation figured out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& I am fine with that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things will happen when they need to happen and me worrying about the timing is only going to cause grief. I spent my entire childhood waiting to grow up and I am not about to make the same mistake twice. (Although I must admit I do get baby hungry sometimes.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life goes on despite all of our planning and preparation, so we might as well relax and pay attention to where we are being led.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am starting to become a believer in the rule of 3s. When I see or hear of something three times within a certain window, then I pay extra attention and attempt to determine what I am to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
learn from the signals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully my ramblings will be useful to either future me or my non-existent readers.<br />
<br /></div>

It is that time of year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love the tradition of setting New Years Resolutions. I am a huge advocate for continuous and conscious improvement, and so this holiday is one of my faves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year I have a few specific plans in mind, and I am going to copy the "four minds" model. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( Physical. Mental. Spiritual. Emotional. )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Physical</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Eat healthy. Be mostly gluten-free, with the exception of whole grains. Don't purchase gluten-free junk food more than twice a month. Eat as though your life depended on you vigilance to eating well. Because it does.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;"><i>-</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sleep earlier. Sleep longer.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Walk to / from school at least once a day. Workout for at least 15 minutes a day.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Mental</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Begin your afternoon with completing homework, and then do one bonus assignment or required reading before relaxing.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Read for pleasure. Based on last semester, you have the time.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Spiritual</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Go to the temple at least once a week.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: large;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Emotional</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Meditate each morning.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: white; font-size: xx-small;">-</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Go to lunch with one person a week.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i>
I think that one thing I have always been good at is having a thirst to be better. I always look for inspiration for how I can improve or what I can do to accentuate the good qualities I do have. If there is any one skill that I find vital it is that of self evaluation. You can never improve if you don't know what your weaknesses are.<br />
<br />
May this year bring good food, good friends, love, and laughter.<br />
Make 2015 the best year of your life.<br />

To kick things off, on the 23rd I threw a party for all of the current and alumn theatre kids from my high school. It was a reunion of sorts, it was super great to see everyone, and there was so much food that we had enough leftovers to cover every meal for the next two weeks.</div>

For Christmas Eve we have an undeclared tradition of finally wrapping presents and running to Target an hour before it closes in order to get forgotten gifts. I am proud to announce that I was the first to have all of her presents wrapped and under the tree.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas morning was magical, as you would expect.<br />
<br />
We opened and exchanged gifts, our special Christmas breakfast was made to perfection, and most lovely of all was the snow. Leading up to Christmas everything had melted and MN was brown and icky. Lo and behold, on Christmas day it began to steadily snow, and soon after everything was covered in a blanket of white.<br />
<br />
I jumped up and said, "It's a Christmas miracle!"<br />
<br />

The following days were beautifully relaxing and they couldn't have been any better. Then on Sunday, Gavin, Marissa & Justin, and their 4 year old, 2 year old, and newborn came to little ole MN. That night we stayed up until 3 am just talking and catching up.<br />
<br />
The next week with them included Christmas Part II, Mall of America, movies, ice cream, many "dance classes" and journeys on rocket ships, and even more snuggles with the cutest four-month old on the planet.<br />

On New Years Eve we have a tradition of playing live-action Candyland; a children's board game made even more difficult for adults by adding candy rewards with each checkpoint you reach in the game. We were all sugared-out from gumdrops, peanut brittle, molasses cookies, popsicles, and much, much more.<br />

I find that sometimes I am afraid to voice my opinion because I know an hour later I will discover something new that changes my mind. I don't think that I am easily-persuadable, but rather that I am one who understands that there is more to the world than what I think I see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Absolute truths are so attractive, so enviable, that we often label our opinions as such. Yet there is also a beauty in change that too often we overlook or shy away from. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let yourself become a new person every day.<br />
<br />
I have this goal that I set recently to wake up every morning and spend a minute or two envisioning who I want to be that day. Do I want to act like royalty? Do I want to be the reincarnation of Audrey Hepburn? With finals coming up next week, I think that my goal will be DaVinci. I am still in that stage of my life where I am able to create any version of myself that I desire; in fact, you are too.<br />
<br />
I see this quote on Pinterest often, and I just adore it:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
HAPPY SATURDAY!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I saw the new trailer for Cinderella, and I absolutely loved this quote from her mother. ^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Disney is a goldmine for life mottos.<br />
<br />
As a child, there was nothing I loved more than to sit two feet away from the TV and watch fairytales. And as I age, I still dream of castles and love at first sight and big dresses with long trains.<br />
<br />
You really can't outgrow magic.<br />
<br />
Here at college, it is easy to lose sight of what actually matters. Things like grades, relationships, and extracurriculars suddenly have more weight than they ever did before, and you suddenly feel a pressure to excel in everything.<br />
<br />
Boy, do I have a secret.<br />
<br />
You <i>can't</i> be perfect at everything.<br />
<br />
There will always be someone smarter, luckier, or more talented than you, but when you feel like you just aren't enough, remember that the only thing that matters is that you have courage & are kind. Literally nothing else will have a more positive impact in your life than to make helping others a priority, and success is known to be 10% talent and 90% hard work.<br />
<br />
Once you give your all, that is when the magic kicks in.<br />

I keep needing to remind myself to be honest on here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't need to post every week. I have no audience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't need to post what I am expected to post. I only need to make a record of myself, how I was in 2014, what my interests were, what thoughts I was really having, how my adventures actually went down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is for me, and the more I try to make it seem like a fairytale the more lost I become.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the end, I think this honesty policy will even increase my # of posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So cheers to a recommitment to my old manifesto!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we might as well celebrate Utah winters too, because so far it has been incredibly beautiful.</div>

So far, I have enjoyed having my hair so short.<br />

The sunlight streaming into my window and the trees swaying have created a magical little light show in my bedroom. It is moments like this that make me glad to be alive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just don't want to miss any of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The texture of the wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shadows from the kitchen chairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are so many beautiful things in life that we never can appreciate them all. We have so many fragments of heaven and works of art hidden among the routine of every day life.<br />
<br />
Life is good, God is good.<br />
<br />
I use my tumblr as a way of collecting little things that make me happy. If I ever am feeling down I just hop onto my page and look at beautiful, funny, and inspirational pictures that always find a way to lift my spirits. It is like my digital dream board.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope that maybe it can be a pick-me-up for you as well!</div>

So far, college is so much more similar to high school than I could have ever imagined.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly don't feel like I am overwhelmed with homework. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have done well on my tests.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is good.<br />
<br />
I have found that there are a few things that I have been struggling with more since I have arrived, but they are things that I have always had issues with.<br />
<br />
Time management. Socializing. Fitness.<br />
<br />
These past few days, however, I have really come to realize that this is the perfect opportunity for me to overcome my weaknesses. I am here, alone, and with this solitude comes opportunities for change that maybe would have not been so effective a year ago.<br />
<br />
I hope I come out of my freshman year more talented, wiser, and all in all a better & happier human.<br />
<br />
Fall has been treating me well here in the west. I love Utah because it is a perfect little melting pot of desert and flora - I get snowy winters but I can also get 80 degree Octobers.<br />
<br />
And it sure is beautiful.<br />

We took a little trip to Thanksgiving Point to try some of their haunted houses / play in the corn kernel beach. (We are children, yeah yeah.)<br />
<br />
They had creepy clowns keeping guests "entertained" while we were in line, but at one point we decided the only way to stop getting targeted (large group of easily frightened girls) was to befriend them.<br />
<br />
So meet our buddy Mr. Grave Digger<br />

So for like every football game so far I had been at the endzone. Fun & all, but I really wanted to be in the east student section so that I could be under the giant flag and finally my dream came true!<br />
<br />
This is the one time I really appreciated being tall. Most girls around me didn't get to reach the fabric, so finally my height helped me out a bit.<br />

and this is in prep for winter, but....<br />
<br />
I am super excited because i just bought <a href="http://www.hollisterco.com/shop/us/girls-parkas-jackets-and-coats/rocky-point-parka-3383080" target="_blank">this coat</a> and it is the first coat that i have ever bought for style alone with no regard for function. I guess I am just overconfident in my minnesnowta toughness<br />
