Dream Dress

So yesterday my mom and I went to pick up the most beautiful dress that you could ever imagine! Prom is coming up and I have been planning my senior prom since my freshman year with a close friend who lives in California. We promised each other that we would go to senior prom with each other and well it's that time of year. We set the plans and he is flying in for prom weekend and I am sooo excited!!

I have been dreaming about my dress for years. It is red and mermaid fit! I love it sooo much!! I would totally be married in this dress if I could wear red in the temple. Well I was going to post pictures but they aren't loading. So I will load them later!

A good healing weekend for all

Friends are amazing!! I recently got to go to a concert with one of my good friends. We have been good friends for awhile but this year we have both been super busy and haven't been able to hang out in awhile. He got his mission call a couple of weeks ago and is going to Minnesota for two years in August. We really got to talk and catch up. We talked a lot about how crazy it is that a lot of our friends are going to be leaving for their missions this summer.

I am so glad that he called me last minute and asked me to go to this concert with him. I had a tachycardia episode at school on Monday and had to get IV fluids. It was a really hard week for me and I was feeling a little down. Being able to have an adventure with a good friend was a lot of fun.

Also this weekend I got to spend some quality time with my brother. He has his own little family now and I don't get to see him as much as I used to. It was really good being able to spend time with him and my brother Jason. We latter got together with Jeff's girlfriend Zoi, who is like my sister already. {Jeff needs to marry this girl!} Anyway, Jeff took care of me this weekend. He is always so attentive to how I am feeling and makes sure that my needs are met if I can't meet them on my own. I love that about him. He is a good guy and will make a good husband and dad. I am happy that he has Zo, they are a power couple!!

So I bet you are wondering "why is Jeff taking care of you and not your loving parents?" Well they were able to go on a much needed weekend get away from all of the troubles {ME ;)} of the house. I am glad that they got to get away and go on a much needed date! They got to spend two whole days with each other without interruption! My family are not just my family, they are my closest friends.  I love you all and thanks for always being there for me!

Here are some pics from this weekend... I don't have any form the concert

The priesthood POWER!

So last night I was in bed sleeping and then all of a sudden my body just starts feeling like I have a billion ants crawling in my skin and then my restless leg syndrome kicks in, but not just in my legs... my arms too!! I was like what the heck! So I got up walked around my room a couple times but that didn't work, so I went into the kitchen to get a glass of milk. Just so you know this was at 1 am and I was still waking up so I kept running into walls... I am surprised I didn't wake anybody up. Anyway, nothing was working so I sat in my bed wiggling around and praying asking my Heavenly Father to help calm my body down so I could sleep. I did this for like an hour or so and I wasn't getting anything but the impression to go wake up my sleeping parents and ask for a blessing.

It took me like 5 minutes of arguing with myself whether or not I should do it. I decided to go in, I woke my mom up and told her I needed a blessing. She then woke my dad up... not an easy task because he was on a sleeping pill and was out. She eventually got through to him and I received a very groggy and drugged up blessing. Then I decided that I wanted to stay with my parents through the rest of the night.

Yes that's right, I am almost 19 years old and I slept in my mommy and daddy's room.. deal with it!
Well the blessing worked and I was able to fall asleep 30 minutes later. When we woke up my dad didn't remember a thing and was confused as to why I was asleep in his room. My mom and I told him and everything is all good now.. except me being exhausted. That was my night!

I want to bear you my testimony, I know that Jesus is the Christ and that He lives. He is always there to comfort and guide me. I know that the priesthood is a sacred thing and that it works. It can help perform miracles, hence it being called the priesthood POWER. I am so grateful for having a priesthood worthy father who can perform these wonderful things. I know that families are forever and that I will always be with mine.The church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints is true and I know that for a fact.  I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
