Decisions.... Decisions...

"It is in the moment of decision that your destiny is shaped."-Tony Robbins

Why is it that there are not happy mediums in life? Why can't we make a decision and feel indifferent about it? When it comes to making decisions, once they are made you can either feel indefinitely happy about it, or, you can feel as if you made the worst decision on the planet. Why is this? Decisions are such a part of everyday life and each decision affects the rest of our life. If they are such a big deal, why can't some of them be easier to make?

Are the decisions that I have made life or death? No. But do they feel like it? Oh yes. This particular one has been difficult, but was one that needed to happen. I may end up regretting it later, but at least I had enough guts to go out and act on my decision, right? With everything going on, sometimes it is hard to know if your decisions really had enough thought put into them. But, the sad thing about decisions is that you have to live with them. Whether or not they are your friend. For now, I will trust that I have made the right decision. At least for now. :)

Until Next Time...

Peace & Blessings.

{Truth} :)

Over the past few days I have come to realize how much Truth I have in my life. Some of them were during spiritual classes, while others cam straight out of the blue. I will begin with this one.

I had a best friend in High School, which many of us do. After I graduated things seemed to change. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized that I have been in the wrong. I have been the one that hasn't been a true friend. The Lord was willing to finally just smack some sense into me. Telling me, wake up and humble yourself your prideful idiot. After some apologies, we are back to as we were. Situations may have changed, but our friendship never had. I am so eternally grateful for my Savior and Heavenly Father for helping realize how to bring back a friendship that i never should have lost.

Second, Institute was amazing yesterday. I have had the opportunity to take a class from one of my favorite Seminary Teachers. This lesson we found a talk that we loved from General Conference, then found a scripture and Hymn based off of it. This is what I picked.

Waiting Upon The Lord

Robert D. Hales

This is a quote that I loved from his talk.

"On this Sabbath morning, I express gratitude that "in my Gethsemane" and yours, we are not alone. He that watches over us "shall neither slumber nor sleep." His angels are here and beyond the veil are "round about [us], to bear [us] up.""

The scripture that i found is Alma 26:12 {found is the wrong word choice, it is actually one of my favorite scriptures.}

"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things;.."

The Hymn that I chose is I Know that My Redeemer Lives

I know that my redeemer lives

What comfort this sweet sentence gives

He lives! He lives who once was dead

He lives! my ever-living friend.

He lives! To bless me with his love

He lives! To plead for me above

He Live! My hungry soul to feed

He lives! To bless in time of need

He lives! To grant me rich supply

He lives! To guide me with his light

He lives! To comfort me when faint

He lives! To hear my soul's complaint

He lives! To silence all my fears

He lives! To wipe away my tears

He lives! To calm my troubled heart

He lives! all blessings to impart

He lives, my kind, wise heav'nly Friend.

He lives and loves me to the end.

He lives, and while he lives, I'll sing.

He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.

He lives and grants me daily breath.

He lives, and I shall conquer death.

He lives my mansion to prepare.

He lives to bring me safely there.

He lives! All glory to his name!

He lives, my Savior, still the same.

Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:

"I know that my redeemer lives!"

He lives! All glory to his name!

He lives, my Savior, still the same.

Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:

"I know that my Redeemer lives!"

I also remembered a poem that I thought went well with this idea.

The Little Blue Engine

By Shel Silverstein

The little blue engine looked up at the hill.

His light was weak, his whistle was shrill.

He was tired and small, and the hill was tall,

And his face blushed red as he softly said,

"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."

So he started up with a chug and a strain,

And he puffed and pulled with might and main.

And slowly he climbed, a foot at a time,

And his engine coughed as he whispered soft,

"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."

With a squeak and a creak and a toot and a sigh,

With an extra hope and an extra try,

He would not stop-now he neared the top-

And strong and proud he cried out loud,

"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."

He was almost there, when-CRASH! SMASH! BASH!

He slid down and mashed into engine hash

On the rocks below. . . which goes to show

If the track is tough and the hill is rough,

THINKING you can just ain't enough!

I know that I can do anything with the Lord, and that I can't, or shouldn't, do anything without him.

I am so grateful for all of the opportunities I have to grow spiritually. :)

Life is great isn't it? :)

Anyway,

Until Next time

Peace & Blessings!

{Time has passed... I must now fill you in.} :)

School seems to drain me. Hahaha. I guess I can fill you in on others books that I have read in that class. :) I don't even know what the last one was that I told you I read. But, I will tell you from where I think it was.
I read: Gunga Din-which is an essay that wasn't my favorite. I think that it has a good moral to the story, but, other than that I didn't really enjoy it. And I REALLY didn't like the movie. Worst movie ever, I would never recommend it!
I read: Banner in the Sky- This is actually a really good story considering that it is a children's book. :) It is a story about the first ascent of the Matterhorn. :) The movie is almost identical to the book. i really enjoyed this one and would probably recommend it. :)
I read: The Hound of Baskerville- this is one of the more popular Sherlock Holmes books. I really enjoyed it because he did a really good job at confusing you. Hahaha, you never really knew who the murderer was. The one thing that I didn't like was that I had a hard time not picturing Robert Downing Jr and Jude Law as I read the story. hahaha. The video that he had us watch was very good. :)
I read: Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde-This was a very odd, yet very intriguing story. The whole personal personalities is so hard to follow. The movie that we watched for class added all of these women into the story which I really didn't like.
I have started but not finished, Frankenstein, Something the Lord Made, and A Christmas Carol. But I know that all of them are fabulous! I've read two already! :)
That sums up my schoolwork that I don't really care about! ;) hahah

One thing I haven't told most teacher is that one of my most beloved teachers was diagnosed with Cancer. :( It is really hard because I have had to have a replacement teacher. it isn't fun to try and get used to a new one. She will get through this though, i know it! :)

Right now I am celebrating Thanksgiving at my sister Kadee's house. It is super fun! She has an amazing house in Fullerton California. :)

This is all that i can think of that has bee happening in my life, I hope you all have a great rest of your Thanksgiving Break, i know I will! :)

Until Next Time
Peace & Blessings!!!! :)

Institute Teachers Always Know What to Say.. :)

Today in the Institute building, I made a new friend. She and I were in an Institute Teachers office looking at wedding announcements that he had there. She was telling me that looking at them made her sad. I of course agreed. We said something to this teacher and this is what he told us.

Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.

Thank You Brother Barlow. Thank You. :)

Books....

So. My weekly book reports have gone to the pits because school takes up time. And all of the extra time goes to work... hahaha. :) BUT. I have read these books for my Intro to Literature class.

I have enjoyed them all. I would talk about each individually. but.. that would take so long. So i won't. :) ENJOY! :)

{Skin}

I first found this song and music video through another friends facebook. It is amazing. I hope that one day, I will have someone that cares that much for me. :)

It's funny....

It's funny.... One day you are swimming with your best friend, and the next day you are in school wishing that it was summer again..

It's funny.... At one moment you are as mad about a situation than you ever had been, but then you realize that things could be worse..

It's funny.... Things could be worse in life..

It's funny.... How we base our happiness on if things go right in our life..

It's funny.... How easy it is to forget the gospel, when that's the only thing you should remember..

It's funny.... How much one person can make a difference in life. And even more how much two people can, or three..

It's funny.... How scary it is to ask someone out because of the fear of rejection..

It's funny.... We can say one thing, when we feel the complete opposite..

It's funny.... How things change..

Food For Thought. :)

Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Just thought you'd like this thought. :)

I'd {Almost} Forgot!......

These are things That I love. And have forgot how much I loved them. Sad day!!!!!:)

GREEK

Sandee has got me hooked on it! We were really good at watching it before. But now... not so good. Which is a bummer, because we both are gonna be super busy once school starts.... sigh..

My favorite people would have to be Ashley and Cappie..

Ohhhhhh Cappie. :) How I love you!

Seriously! IF you haven't ever seen Greek. I verrrrrrrrrryyyyyy much suggest that you do!!!!! :) It's the bomb!

Johnny Depp

So. The other day at work I was asking this guy if he'd seen certain movies. Most of them had Johnny Depp in them. And he has never seen them. That there is just a sin. I LOVE Johnny Depp! I think he is amazing and very attractive. He has very nice bone structure! :) Here are some movies that I have loved him in!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

"Heh heh, you're really weird." :)

Alice In Wonderland

"What IS the difference between a Raven and a Writing desk?" "I haven't the slightest." :)

Secret Window

"I don't like it, it makes me feel icky."

D-I-V-O-R-C-E DIVORCE! :) hahahaha

Oh Johnny..... Yeah. if you don't like Johnny Depp, that MIGHT put you down lower on my friend list. Just sayin. :)

SUPERNATURAL

I had totally forgot how much I LOVE THIS SHOW! It just makes me so happy. All the time!

I was bustin a gut when I read this! :)

Oh My Goodness! If you haven't seen him lipsining to eye of the tiger, look it up on Youtube HILARIOUS! :)

Plus. Jensen Ackles is just mighty fine.... :)

"House Rules: Driver Picks the Music, Shotgun shuts his cakehole." HAHAH :)

HARRY POTTER

Oh my goodness. I am obsessed. The only medicine for my addiction is more Harry Potter.

I think that when Voldemort smiles, it is SUPER creepy! Don't you agree???

I want to re-read all of these books. Too bad I have so many on my list right now... :(

I honestly just thought this was super cool. :) I want them all. i would hang them on my wall. :)

Maybe I shall watch all of these again... hmmm. Who knows. :)
Look at how cute they were when they were little children.. ah. :)

Anyway.... :) This is what I'd almost forgot that I love. :)
Thats all for now!
TTFN!!!!!!!!!
PeAcE & bLeSsInGs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Well... This is {Random}... :)

I can't do a quote for this post. Because every part of it is basically not only a different topic, but a different feeling. :) So... yeah. Prepare to and enjoy getting confused.

As most of you know, I LOVE horses. And lately I've really really really really really wanted to go horseback riding.

I haven't been in a really long time. So it does kinda scare me. But I think that once I got back in the saddle I would love it all over again. I usually go horseback riding at my Aunt Nanny's house. But I haven't seen her in so long! And really, it's all my fault. I could go down there whenever I wanted. But I always get so caught up in whats going on up here, that I forget about it. Which is totally wrong. I even called her and asked her if I could come down. Because I knew that I was applying for other jobs and I wanted to come before my schedule would change. BUT.. I went and forgot all about it. And Now I have a new job. Sad story I know. But, I'm sure that I will be able to find a time soon. :) I can always take time off work it need be. :)

I am falling in love with the piano again... :)

Sadly, it has been a while since I've sat down and just fully enjoyed playing it! Sometimes it just seems like a chore. But lately it has been a treat. I'm really glad that this happened. And I'm sure my piano teacher will be too!!!! ;) Right now I am finishing learning Sonata K. 333 by Mozart. And I am trying to teach myself Deax Arabesque by Debussy. But that will be a chore that I will give my teacher. To teach me that song.

I was at work the other day. And one of the teachers was playing a song. And I totally copied one. It is called "To Satisfy the Law." It's an arrangement of -Jesus Once of Humble Birth -I Stand All Amazed &-How Great Thou Art. It's amazing!!!! :) I can't wait for Malinda to help me learn it! :)

I bought this movie to watch it with my friend Teah. But we ended up having to cancel, which is super sad. BUT I still want to watch it.

But I'm also super terrified to think about it! EEEEEEEK! I hope I don't pee my pants or something!

So. I'm not usually one to conform. But the First Presidency asked us to do this '90 Day Scripture Reading Challenge'. Which, I'm totally cool with that. BUT. Just my stake presidency asked us to read the New Testament. I was kinda mad. Because, if I'm going to find answers to my questions I should read where I am supposed to, not just where they say I should. Anyway. I started reading it.

I haven't found any specific answers or anything. But I do love it! :) I don't even remember reading it before. Even though I know I have. Ah. I love it! :)

Shhhhhhh. Don't tell Sandee! :)

Every week, Sandee asks me what color Nail Polish I'm going to wear the next week. And every week I tell her "I don't think about that until the day of, I'll just pick one out of a hat."
Well.... This MIGHT be a lie. It's true that I don't think about it very often, but! I usually have some sort of general Idea of what color I want. I think next week I will use
Essie Splash of Grenadine. Pretty. Don'tcha think????
Anyway. That is all!
TTFN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Dad Was Right.... :)

When I found out that I got this job at Moore's, my dad told me, "You aren't going to know what to do with a REAL job." hahah. I just laughed it off thinking, little do you know. Well.. He kinda was right. This whole this is a whole lot of work! I trained to be a waitress yesterday...

It was way hard! There are certain ways to write the foods on the slips, you have to total everything up. SO stressful! But at the same time I loved it. So that was good. I absolutely loved it.. until my ride home when I realized...

I didn't charge the money for the tip on someones card. But I took the money out of the till. I'm pretty sure I was singing to the car, and then was like "OH SHIZ!!!" So I had to go back to work before my other job today and tell my manager what happened. I was super nervous about it. But he actually wasn't very mean about it. He just said to be sure to do it next time, took my money, and said thanks. I bet that he was happy that I was honest enough about it. Because at night time there isn't a Hostess. So there would be no way for him to know that it was me. I feel good that I did the right thing. But it still stresses me out..

I've been worried a lot about all of these crazy decisions that I have been making this past weekish.. Are they really the right decisions? I put in my two weeks at Bravo. Which I'm super sad about. But at the same time, it feels right. But then after I tell myself it's right, I worry that its wrong. It's a vicious cycle that I can't seem to get out of..
But then I remembered this quote.

Thank You Dr. Seuss. If you weren't dead, I would give you a hug right now. :) Because it makes everything make so much more sense.
I have worked everyday this week. And it has been super stressful between being trained, and training other people.
I'm shocked that I don't look like this right now.
Then the thought of school comes up and I think I really WILL look like this...

I don't know if I've told you this. But I'm taking some pretty tough classes this semester, and I'm pretty nervous about them. I'm taking:
Human Biology
English 2010
English 2200 &
Philosophy 1000.
It just sounds like a whole lot of reading that I'm worried I won't have time to do with my new job.
BUT... There is a plus side.
I won a parking spot in the institute parking. Guess who doesn't have to pay $66 for a parking pass? That would be me! :)
Welp. I hope that didn't exhaust you as much as it has exhausted me. That's all for now folks!
TTFN!!!!

Cute Picture{s} of the Week. :)

"A king who always cares for the elephants like his own sons is always victorious and will enjoy the friendship of the celestial world after death."-Kautiliya

I feel like I am turning into my sister...

I probably am...

Anyway. When I went to look up pictures for my blog. The backround of 'bing' was a baby elephant.

Aren't they just so darn cute??? I feel like this one is smileing because it found a piece of grass! SO cute! :)

I also really liked the quote. It was buy some buddhist person. But it's true. God would care for ALL of His creatures. So why shouldn't we? Food for thought. ;)

anyway. That's all TTFN!!!!

Heidee's {Semi} Weekly Book Report! :)

So. I finished The Host. and I loved it! It was pretty much amazing. Had me on the edge of my seat like the whole time! :) I don't know what it was about it exactly. But I loved it. It actually brought me to this whole other world, which is exactly what reading is supposed to do! Ah! I just loved it! That sums it up in 4 words. :) I just loved it!So NOW I am reading
Siddhartha By: Hermann HesseSo far I really like it. I'm not very far, but ya know. It's been a realllll stressful week. So hopefull I can finish it today or tomorrow. It's super short. Like 180 pages. So I know that it is possible. I just get so tired when I sit down to read it.

It's about a guy 'Siddhartha' who is on a quest to find spiritual enlightenment. I'm excited to see how it ends!

Anyway. That is all!
TTFN!

PeAcE & bLeSsInGs!!!!!!!!!! :)

A New Beginning!!!! :)

I've been searching and searching and searching for a new job! And guess what??? I've FINALLY been hired! I am now going to be working at Moore's Family Restaurant. :)

As of right now. I am a hostess. But, that is a pretty big job. Because there, the hostesses also take the money. I am also going to be training to be a waitress.

So far. I have only gone two days. I've only messed up twice at the register. And today. {big embarrassment} I dumped all the water out of the mop bucket....

Did I cry when I got home? Maybe. but. I still am going to love this job!!!! It's GREAT!

TTFN

Peace & Blessings!!!! :)

Heidee's {Humorous} History, of this week! :)

So. Today. I thought that instead of writing 6 short posts. I would right one really long one. Yeah? Much easier for me anyway! So.. Where shall we begin!?

{Heidee's Funny Picture of the Week!}

I find this picture to be Hilarious! It remind me of my dog! We've given her Rawhide bones before that I swear are that big. :) Haha. She may not be that small. But the bone was that big!

:)

I was thinking about my dog the other day. {Yesterday} and I realized that she's 9. I bet that she's not going to be with us very much longer. And that makes me super super sad. Like just thinking about it makes me want to cry. I've had her for so long, that imagining my life without her is just. Sickingly sad. But I guess I will just forget about it! She's still with me now. And that's good enough for me. :)

{Sandee has ruined me}

That is metaphorically speaking of course. But she has spread her addiction to nail polish, onto me! Ugh. hahaha. I'm not as badly addicted as she is. So I guess that's a good thing. But yeah. I'm addicted all right. It's now to the point where I can find more colors that I want that she can.

This sadly probably isn't even enough nail polish to exhibit what my collection looks like. But. you get the idea, yeah? yeah. :)

{School}

So, I typed in School on Bing, and this is totally what came up! HA! :) it totally made my day. They do teach a History of Rock and Roll at Weber. Maybe I'll have to take it sometime! :) haha. Anyway. SO I'm all registered for school. Yay! {Sarcasm} I'm just not ready for summer to be over, and really. I don't have enough money for it either! But I do have one bit of exciting news!

I had this conversation with my friend the other day

-Me-"Have you taken English 2200?"

-Her-"No. But I am in the fall."

-Me-"Fall, as in two weeks?"

-Her-"Yes."

-Me-"Who's Your professor?"

-Her-"His name is Vause."

-Me-"OH MY GOODNESS!"

-Her-"I assume that means we have a class together!"

-Me-"As long as it's at 10:30 on Tues/Thurs"

-Her-"Indeed it is!"

Hahahahaha. How awesome is that! Great minds must think alike! so. Basically. I'm super excited for that class now. :) Plus the fact that I've read three of the books that we're supposed to already. Yes.:)

{Harry Potter}

I find myself becoming more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more addicted to Harry Potter as the days go on!

I really want to see this again today! For.. the... third time! Which I see nothing wrong about! I saw Twilight and New Moon that many times and guess what? Harry Potter is so much better! So it at least deserves three. If not four times! :) Don't you agree? Plus. Sandee will always go and see it because she loves Fred and George. :)

{Heidee's Semi Weekly Book Report}

So. I didn't want to do an entire post about this, because I haven't finished my book yet. (I know, shame shame shame!) But I am half way done and probably will be able to finish by Sunday or Monday. Which I dub a success. Because it's 600 and some odd pages long. All of my other ones have been like 300. So I'm not used to reading twice as fast obviously! :)

But I am enjoying the book a lot. It is kinda weird for me to read a book by Stephenie Meyer that uses words like Hyperbole. :) hahaha. I was telling my grandma this this yesterday. And she said. Oh ask bill what it means. So I did.

-Me-"Grandpa, do you know what Hyperbole means?"

-Grandpa-"yes. Garbage."

I laughed and said that I didn't think so. Haha. But I just find it weird going from lovey dovey twilight to words like hyperbole. :) haha

So. That is all that I can think of for now. Which, I consider to be a lot. So yeah. :)

Until Next Time...

TTFN!!!!!

Peace & Blessings!!!! :)

Heidee's {Semi} Weekly book report!!!! :)

So. Just fyi. I LOVED These Is My Words! :)

It is fabulous! I look up to her so much!

Okay. Now I am reading

THe Host By Stephenie Meyer.

So far. I am liking it. It's pretty gripping!

But we'll see if i'm smart enough for it! :) There are some pretty big words in it. But that's okay.

I guess that I might take a little longer to read it. But hopefully I'll finish next week sometime!

That's all for now folks!

TTFN!!!!

Peace & Blessings!!! :)
