Words I Live By

The Best 2 Years

D&C 4:1-5

Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.

2Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.

3Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;

4For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;

5And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work.

Morgan left for his mission yesterday.

Not gonna lie, it was really sad.

But we all know that he is going to be an incredible missionary in Santiago, Chili.

So long and farewell Morgan.

See you in 2 years!

Now, go kick some missionary butt and come back home.

I give you full permission to laugh at my puffy red eyes.

Let's just say, it was a rough 15 minutes.

We were all crying...a whole lot.

I feel like lately I have so much on my mind but not enough time to actually accomplish them.

What's new.

I need a little romance in my life.

Someone fix this.

Killing 2 birds with one stone

I would like to just say 2 things.

The other day I was working and it was the day after I got my new platinum hairdo.

And this man comes up to me and goes,

"The second i walked in here i thought you were Brooke Hogan."

Ok

um.

How do you respond to that?

Thank.......you?

So apparently, to the people of Spring Roll I look like a skank.

Thanks for that kind sir.

That really boosted my self confidence level up a few notches.

NOT.

real classy kind of girl.

Ok, and for the second thing.

I have been on the hunt for a great new perfume.

I was in target killing some time a couple days ago and i came across the perfume.

I walked up and started smelling all the sample bottles.

This was the first one i saw, so i picked up it up.

Don't judge.

so yeah.

i bought it and now i wear everyday, all day.

and i love it.

so once again, don't judge because its Playboy brand.

So that's my little piece of lately-ness.

And let me just say one thing.

The church is true.

The Cruise Of Love

So.

In true Cram fashion.

We gotta have him going out with a bang.

a big bang.

huge, monsterous bang.

So in honor of shmorgs leaving for his mission, we (as a family) decided that we wanted to go on a big/huge/ginormous/reDICulously awesome vacation.

TA DA!

I shall now present you with.

The Oasis of the Seas

a.k.a

The Cruise of Love

and i'll get to why that is in uno momento!

Let's just say that this vacation was the bomb.com.

Everything you could ever imagine was on the boat.

A boat.

Who would have thought that there is so much to do...on a boat.

Everything from swimming, zip-lining, surfing, EATING, karaoke-ing, broadway, carousel riding, world's sexiest man contests, clubbing, water shows, more eating, etc.

We had so many adventures!

Here are a few!

We got to see the wonderful broadway musical Hairspray!

Worlds Sexiest Man Contest

I don't recall ever feeling bored.

That says a lot.

My aunt came with us on this adventure on the Cruise of Love.

This are our freaking awesome matching t-shirts!

So adorable!

So fun on the back of the boat!

What's this game called again?

Beats me.

Formal night at The Dining Room

Oh...Sediki...

The Cruise of Love

We have arrived in Haiti!

So so beautiful!

Rollar-Coaster-ing it in Labadee!

This was quite the experience...

my partner was mother.

Getting ready for the zip line across the water!

At the top of the mountain ready for the zip line!

Eeeeek!

Family picture in Labadee!

On our way back to board the ship!

We're in Jamaica Man.

Jamaican Me Crazy!

We all got matching tank tops.

Reagan found a lady finger!

We had some dance parties.

With Adam the Flowrida!

and my boyfriend.

hottie with the body.

and flowrida....again.

and there's flowrida again.

with ash.

The Cruise of Love

And we swam with some dolphins.

No big deal.

Met some cool waiters.

and my future husband.

Tony Scott.

Then had a private DJ lesson with my future husband.

Yeah, i was his best student.

And i didn't mind a little one on one action.

Yeah, he totally got behind me and put his hands on mine and taught me how to DJ like a pro!

{It was love at first sight}

All in all, this trip was incredible!

It was a great way to send off Morgan!

None of this was possible without Momma Cram

(and some serious yogurt)

So thank you mommy!

This was a trip we'll never forget!

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.

It's about learning to dance in the rain."

America's Day

Happy 4th of July!

A night full of laughter, memories, and best friends.

The last 4th of July for these 3 lovely lades at home.

I sure am going to miss these days.

Sitting on top my my car in front of the temple, watching the firework show never was any better.

{Especially getting attacked by the sprinklers and getting soaking wet}

Oh the memories we'll never forget.

Art for the Sand

Ok, so just for the record.
This is probably the coolest thing i have ever seen in my life.
During our cruise we went to a ice show and there was s segment called "The Toy Solider".
This guy from Ukraine comes to the middle of the stage with a big projector type of object in front of him.
On top of the projector was a bunch of sand.
Then the music starts...

It was so incredibly cool to see in person but here is a video of something a lot like it.
It's not the exact one we saw but close enough.
