Count your Blessings

Hey there blog readers I pretend are reading this! (Honestly it's usually just me), today I was sitting with my mom playing "Count your Blessings" on the ukulele, and I thought maybe it would be a nice thing to count my blessings on this here little patch of the internet.
Blessings today:
-My brand new gratitude journal
-The best playlist ever full basically just of musicals
-That one fellow who happens to be one of my best friends
-My momma "jammin'" with me on the couch
-My awesome lovely sister who takes me around Utah valley to look for temples
-The beautiful house of the Lord
-Snail mail to my favorite brother

Aspire Higher

Summer opens up opportunities for spiritual growth that the school year cannot. Whether it's girlscamp or just a day at the temple, I will always enjoy finding ways to feel the spirit this summer. While having adventures and finding a job and such are important things about summer, don't let your priorities get messed up, don't let a day pass you where you have neglected to take the time to feel the spirit in your life.

Spiritual Sunday

"If this isn't your castle, then you're not my prince"

I'm going to try and keep this short and sweet today. 

Dear boys of the world,

Respect is the most attractive thing you can do.

Respect your priesthood.

Respect women.

Respect the church.

Respect yourself.

Dear girls of the world, 

Keep looking. 

You can do better. 

Wait for respect.

Amen.

Take family names to the temple.

Jesse Neil was born in 1791.

I took her name to the Temple. 

I was sort of excited.
