This music video is ridiculous. Insane. Stupendous. 

But in order to truly appreciate its epicness you must first watch the video that explains how they made it. 

You WILL be blown away.

Confession

I have a confession...

I am addicted to peanut butter. Bad.

There is just something so magical about it.

 Peanut Butter, magical? Yes. I definitely just referred to peanut butter as magical. 

When I get home from a long day of school.. All I want to do is grab my jar of crunchy peanut butter and a spoon.  It is somehow relaxing in a weird way. 

I made some no-bake peanut butter, oatmeal cookies the other day... HEAVENLY! 

My next goal in life: Eat peanut butter cupcakes! 

If someone were to make me these cupcakes... I would have to love them for eternity. 

I would just die of happiness. 

Oh The Things People Say...

Today I came across this video and I had to share it. Feel free to watch... hahahaha

Keep your head up!

"So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference."

-Thomas S. Monson

I definitely do this often! :)

"I know it's hard, know it's hard,

To remember sometimes,

But you gotta keep your head up, 

And you can let your hair down."

-Mr. Andy

Have a fantastic day everybody! :)

Fabulously Fantastic

Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. 

Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. 

Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. Happiness. 

In case you couldn't tell... I am very happy right now.

AND IT FEELS FABULOUS!

So watch out everybody, because this girl is on top of the world right now.

When life gives you FOURTEEN inches of SNOW....

You make your family in snowmen form! :)

This took a really long time... But it was totally worth it.

Yes, my dog is crazy. 

This snow has given me a fabulous break from school and bundles of joy!

But truth is... I miss my friends. A lot. Being stuck in a house full of old people... Well you can make the conclusion on how I feel about that. 

I haven't seen Miss Chile in over 5 days! Gahhh

And it seems like a millenium since I last saw my Gig Harbor buddies. 

BUT... On the bright side, 

I LOVE SNOW.

Like a lot.

I love snow. 

So much. 

We just had about 8" (I'm guessing) dump on us last night. 

Snow has been falling ever since Saturday. 

And ever since Saturday night I have been nannying special needs children. 

And today is supposed to be a day off for me. 

But I'm snowed in. 

So I'm taking a quick break and posting because I am getting cabin fever from not leaving this house for 

5 days. 

Luckily there is another babysitter here with me.

My wonderful beautiful sweet mother.

Oh how I do love her. 

I love her more than I love the snow. 

A lot more than the snow. 

Like a lot. 

Now, enjoy this lovely photo of the view I have while babysitting in the snow :) 

I hope you're enjoying your day!

A little nugget of wisdom

"Today you are you, that is truer than true.

There is no one alive who is youer than you."

Apparently... Alex Trebek and President Uchtdorf look shockingly similar?

Scroll down to previous posts to have your mind blown!!!

Smoothies and Mustaches

I'm one of those people who always seem to be overly happy. I very rarely have a bad day. 

But today... I did. :(

So what am I going to do to make myself feel better?

1. Go make myself a delicious fruit smoothie.
2. Watch countless episodes of Jeopardy. -This is my new addiction. Am I a nerd or what?

 P.S. Did you know Alex Trebek use to have a mustache?  :) 

Stand Taller

“The Lord has a great work for each of you to do. ‘Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations’ (D&C 115:5). He trusts you, and He calls and relies on you to stand taller and shine brighter in these challenging but wonderful days.” 

"The Lord doesn't need admirers; He needs followers. You learn to be a leader by first learning to be a follower. The scripture says to ‘act,’ not to be ‘acted upon.’ ” (2 Nephi 2:26).


-President Uchtdorf
