darn it...

that didn't last long.

for those who didn't see:

and it will probably change again.

i need to find something to stick with- and am having trouble.

but for right now, i need sleep.

goodnight.

and yes,

i just changed my blog title to the deathly hallows symbol... bahaha. i love me some h.p.

kara. not the chocolates, but just as sweet.

my friend kara

she is just amazing.

i really like her a lot.

we didn't really know each other very well until last year around this time, when she started coming to my bachelor nights.

what fun times.

anyway.. kara is leaving on wednesday to go serve an lds mission.

it's very brave of her, but i know she will be an awesome missionary and change so many people's lives.

she's that great.

she invited me to her last piano recital.

holy guacamole! this girl is unreal! i had no idea she was so good at tickling those pearly whites.

but she is.

and the last song she played - how great thou art - brought me to tears.

amazing.

just as she is.

love you, kara!

good luck in texas!!

the wise old man

Gary Keetch.

He is a very smart old man.

He owns Taco Amigo (my place of employment)

and he is my Stake Patriarch.

A few weeks ago I sat on the front row at Stake Conference. Papa Keetch was sitting on the stand and noticed me sitting next to my friend, JCM squared.

So naturally, he went into work the next morning and asked Lindsey who I was sitting next to.

Lindsey just smiled and said, "Well, I am pretty sure she is just friends with him. Anna has been writing this missionary that comes home in a few weeks."

Now here's where the story takes place:

Ysterday morning I come into work and Gary starts asking me all sorts of questions about this said "missionary". I answered them and kept going about my chores.

I had made a list of a few things I needed to get done.I walked back up front to check something off of my list, when I notice that Gary had added something to the bottom of my list.

I eventually checked that last one off.

because i wore red lipstick

before church yesturday

i listened to this talk on my triple sweet scripture ap.



then i went to church. had the normal routine

- sacrament meeting

- sunday school

- and then of course there's relief society



guess what the lesson was on?



did you guess?



well, it was on the very talk that i randomly decided to listen to yesterday morning.



not sure yet why I needed to hear that. but apparently i did.



i wrote a list of 100 things i am grateful for in my 10 year journal, so no need to do that here, but i am grateful. for lots of things. and for conference talks- that give me little boosts of encouragement.



if you are ever feeling worthless, just go listen to a general authority speak. they'll make you feel a zillion times better (:

**note to self: wear more bright red lipstick- you'll get lots of compliments at church. Well, probably not only at church.**

sis kiss

Today as I was spring cleaning my bedroom closet, I came across an old photo..

One that I am very proud of.

We like to call it

The Sis Kiss

isn't it so great?

Thanks Mom and Dad, for teaching us how it is done.. even at such a young age.

Also, Today is my great friend's Birthday. He said no one is allowed to wish him a Happy Birthday via Facebook- so I did via Twitter, and now via Blawg.

Happy Birthday, Jordz!

I woke up this morning to this:

As much as I don't like being cold.. I really love waking up to something this pretty.

For the Beauty of the Earth

Now go have yourself a lovely Sabbath.
