Reminicing...

I was just going over old posts and it made me miss so much of my life that is no longer a part of my life...

I wish so much of this was still in my life .
It's so weird, half of these girls are married now, the boys are on missions. And we are all over the place.
I guess I've just been missing who I was, and the adventures I always had...

Christmas Merriment?

Christmas... Probably the CRAZIEST time of year. For those who work in retail it is the LEAST merry/jolly time of the year. And for those, such as I, who are AWFUL at shopping for other people... this too is not a magical time of year.

This year I convinced my family that we should draw names instead of buying a gift for every member, because well... let's face it... we are poor. I drew my Mother. Now, many people think that was the BEST DRAW EVER! But for me, that was one of the worst names I could draw. My mom and I are very close friends, however when it comes to style we are not really on the same page.

For example: I LOVE floral, flowy, animal print, bows, etc. My mother HATES floral, animal print, tight, flowy, aka everything. Do you see my problem? While shopping for my mother yesterday for 12 HOURS! I found one part of her gift... however, I found about four gifts for me! Wait... That was not the purpose of my shopping trip... Shoot. Ya, kill me!

So if any of you know my mother and how to shop for her PLEASE HELP ME!! I need it! Because we are nothing alike...

Sexual Healing

So, I know all of you, especially those who know my mom and are about to go tattle that I am blogging about Sexual stuff haha, but before you do please read and watch.

Society and media are overwhelming the youth and young adults and even the adults of society today. Sex is no longer a beautiful creation God made so that we can have children; it's a game, and almost like a competition for a lot of people.

I know when I was not being my best self a dear friend and I would compare how many boys we had kissed and it was almost a competitive act to see if I could catch up and reach the number of boys that some friends had.

Now thinking about that I am ashamed and am so grateful I have moved past that! All sexual acts before marriage can bring is trouble and heartache. I know as mothers, parents, sisters, and friends we want to protect our girls from these mistakes and hurt; but we cannot, all we can do is be good influences and hope they learn from watching other's mistakes.

I found a video of a boy from Pacific University and this is his poem about Sexual Healing; I am so impressed with the kind of man he is and that he had the strength and heart to share this with us all. I truly think it is a video every single person should see and be moved by. Well, enjoy:
