Pageant Clip

Miss American Fork Pageant
... a day of MaDnEsS!! haha!
(Isn't my mom the greatest?!...)

Long time no see...

I'm going to start blogging again I swear.
So, update on life?
Graveyards kinda suck at the hospital, but I work with hilarious people and the patients are inspirational. I work on the Inpatient Rehab floor and see a lot of heroic people. I have a favorite, (am i allowed to have a favorite?) his name is Tony :D He laughs and jokes with all of us Nurses and PCA's and has absolutely the most incredible perspective on life.
Love ya Tony!!

So, anyone hear the talk from Elder Holland on Sunday? I really don't even have words to describe how much it touched me. It was somehow exactly what EVERYONE needed to hear. Isn't it incredible how one talk can be so universally applicable and life changing? I love the gospel and I love our prophet and apostles. I love my testimony and am slowly gaining the confidence to share it with others. When I face God in Heaven, I don't want Him to have to ask me why I didn't share the testimony I was given. I want Him to be proud of the efforts I put into building His kingdom. I'm gonna post it here as soon as its available on YouTube..it should be on there right?

Next subject, I am now the new Miss American Fork! I know I couldn't believe it either. This year will be full of so many wonderful opportunities and I am so excited! I was able to meet with Mayor Thompson a few days ago and already have so much respect for him. He is more of a grandfatherly figure and truly cares about people and our wonderful city. I also will be able to spread my platform to a larger group of people. My platform is basically to get people motivated into service and volunteer opportunities. I am working on a website for this and when its finished I'll post a link to it. It is a website that will require a lot of feedback and input so please contribute! I need people to post service opportunities, local heroes, etc. We also need to be more aware of global events and how we can serve our brothers and sisters in different countries. Little things do help and are greatly needed!

Dating life? I just signed my life away for at least a year so don't worry...I won't be sending out wedding invitations anytime soon. Unlike the rest of you.

I am going paragliding in a few weeks! I can't wait! I am slowly accomplishing things on my 'To do before I die' list and it makes life so much sweeter!
