Starstruck Shmorgs

My older awesome brother, Morgan, is currently serving a full time mission of 2 years for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Santiago, Chili.
He is doing incredible things out there 
And I miss him terribly.
But I wanted to share a little nugget of one of his current emails.
I thought it was funny. 
Let me share...


"On Saturday we were able to go to the Temple to see the Christmas presentation. It was packedddd! Rumor had it that there was going to be a very special guest.. We went with this family that was baptized here in July that absolutely loves us. While there I was able to see a ton of people from my past wards. It was really awesome to hear how much they missed me and to beg me to go back to their wards. Kinda bittersweet though to think of how hard it will be to leave these people that I have come to love so much. Wow... Don't wanna think about that!! But I think all the young women reading this will be very jealous to hear that that special guest was David Archuletta. Hahaha. Yeah.. I saw Elder Archuletta in the biggest Christmas concert in Chile with the Temple as the backdrop. Not gonna lie though... Kid's got some pipes. He is serving in one of the missions here in Chile and got special permission to come and be a part of the program. Pretty neat!"


Ok, so I'm kinda jealous.
But props to you, Shmorgs, for even knowing who he was.

If You Just Realize

I realized something great today. 
I was talking to a girl in class today about some of her boy drama.
And boy, did she have some serious issues.
She is was distraught over this boy who had just broken up with her.
She kept on saying over and over again that she wasn't happy. 
She pretty much thinks the world is over.
I tried giving her the best advice that I could.
But I lack a whole lot of experience in that department.
I mean. 
Lets be real.
I haven't had my first kiss yet and I am a freshman in college.
But I just wanted to tell her this.
I could not even begin to tell you how many flippin' hours and nights I have spent
worrying about
crying about
thinking about
 boys.
But honestly.
Who. Cares.

Who ever decided that boys are everything?
The only source of a girls honest happiness.
We all want it.
A boy.
There for everything and anything.
There to hold you. Cuddle you. Kiss you.
Take you out.
Drive you around.
Hold your hand.
Carry your bags.
Open the door.
Fix your broken TV.
Tell you your eyes look pretty.
Be your automatic date to parties.
Surprise you with a dozen roses.
Study with.
Go to movies with.
Laugh with.
Tell you your beautiful.
Give you confidence.
Take care of you when you're sick.
Etc.

Why is it that girls feel that it is necessary to worry about all of this stuff?
We can take care of ourselves.

Don't get me wrong. Who wouldn't want all of these things?
Anyone would be lucky to have all of these things.
But it shouldn't necessarily be the deciding factor on whether or not someone is happy or depressed.
Cause I think that what girls base their happiness off of.
And that is ridiculous.

So screw you Taylor Swift for programming into every teenage girls mind that boys are everything.
Cause they're not.

So while everyone out there is listen to her sappy love songs about love. Or the loss of love.
I'll be eating yummy salty chips and salsa with a ice cold diet coke.
Peace.

Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday! 
From Logan, Utah's 1 degree weather.
Let me just say something.
Coming from experience.
Heels + Snow
BAD COMBO


“God is eagerly waiting for the chance to answer your prayers and fulfill your dreams, just as he always has. But he can't if you don't pray, and he can't if you don't dream. In short, he can't if you don't believe.” ― Jeffrey R. Holland

Athro Love

Sometimes.
When I'm in Anthropologie.
I get super duper depressed and wish I had millions of dollars to fulfill my happiness of having my home look like the store itself. 

Brick walls.
Distressed floors.
Shabby artsy fartsy furniture.
Rustic pipes.
Metal finishes.
Urban vibes.
Awesome books.
Perfect bedding.


One day.
It will happen.
