I couldn't have asked for anything more. I know it was a sacrifice for those involved and I am SO grateful for everything this holiday. ESPECIALLY how even the smallest act proved to mean the world to me, I feel loved, cared for, and wanted. With what I got and the way my family made me feel, I can conquer the world. They saw that vision too and we're facing it head on. Together. I won't flaunt a list of the things I got because I think these glorious feelings can be achieved without bragging (although, every single gift was perfect for me. Thank you thank you thank you thank you...+eternity.) Best Christmas EVER! Topping this one? Nearly impossible. Take that, naughty elf.

I hope you don't regret that Nate made you ask me out.
PS Nate, I want to come with you to France. I know you are not moving there yet but I had a dream about it so it will happen.
Today is Sun☀day: such a blessed day it had to be named after the brightest physical object in the universe. Today was extra blessed because I got to spend my sunday evening with two of my very favorite people. Audrey and Adam.
Hey folks,
I sure hope you're having a good day. As for me, I have a pimple on my nose just in time to be Rudolph's twin. Oh joy. A lady from England yelled at me at work and her very lovely accent made all her mean words seem that much truer. Don't worry, we're good friends now and I hear her little nine year old did quite the wrapping job for his fathers Christmas present. Sometimes I feel like this guy [view below.] Packaged seemingly perfectly but quite uncomfortably forced there. My attitudes will change, don't you fret my deary. Christmas is going to be that much more interesting if I open up a present and there is a MAN inside. Don't be too jealous. Make your spirits bright. ♥Wilms
"You know how famously grouchy the french can be but Julia can bring the best out of a pole. She thinks they are the most wonderful people in the world."
Julia Child was really quite the little firecracker and you know me, I love people with spunk. Those like Julia, who have a talent of bringing out the best in people, (even those who don't see their 'best' side very often) should be celebrated! Plus, Julia was fearless! Who goes to a cooking school for boys and sticks with it to the end? Mrs. Child. What an admirable woman.
"They were very unfriendly until they discovered I was FEARLESS....something I discovered about the same time they did."
Now, Meryl Streep was vividly phenomenal playing Julia Child in the movie. I wished to somehow become the woman that was portrayed in her performance the first time I saw it. She really studied Julia and brought her to life on screen. I believe she deserves the highest praise for her acting talent. I like this movie because it focuses on something real and good. We all need a little more good in our lives.
And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth he sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, good will to men."
There is evidence that God is good, especially during this time of year. Your God might not be my God but he loves you regardless. He wants you to be a bell. Speak Peace to the souls around you this Christmas season. Be a light others can rely upon.
For some of us, it's just another building. For others, it represents childhood. I don't want to sound sappy bud Daddy has always loved this building so much. Sad we had to say goodbye.
Music has been touching my soul a lot lately, if you haven't already noticed. I get down on myself, it's true. My insecurity succumbs my thoughts and I feel kind of hopeless.It's been a hard week for a lot of people. It was difficult for me because I hate goodbyes. BUT during the points that I was so overwhelmed by it all, this song brought me out of it. Firework-Katy Perry. I could listen to it and felt sudden motivation of ruling the world! This song makes me run faster, write better, get me to study for hours and want to dye a section of my hair purple. I think I will. Merry Christmas to me. So if you refuse to listen to this song because of the various reasons people assume they don't like all of the music of one artist or one genre (which I might add is RIDICULOUS since there is beauty within all of us to reach) please just read these few words of encouragement I hope for you. Ignite love.
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
I have been debating putting up this song for a long time. There are three seconds of the music video that I don't agree with and do not want anyone to think I support. Remember that.
I strongly believe that when you look for beauty in the world, you'll find it. Dedicated to the provo tabernacle and the love my father has for it. And to you, my dear friend.
Today alone, you brought joy to finals. Why? This attempt of recognition will only scratch the surface of your wonder.
"I didn't have time to bring forth my hearty laugh, instead just a slight chuckle."
"Jerks wear shorts in the wintertime."
"The man...who has very straight teeth by the way."
I'm sorry for the shooken up soda, for laughing at the mighty explosion and for stealing this beautimus picture of you from facebook. I owe ya one! But honestly, don't we all owe Chelsea Gibbs one?
I miss you already. *tear wipe* Pathetic that I started crying, right?....Lets not talk about it. I just love you too much. Tyyyyypical... You've changed my life for the better just by being you. Just sayin.

"Speak by the word of angels. Sometimes you can't be that person to them because they choose it that way. Judas would not let Jesus be that person." (how to help someone you care about)
"Christ teaches people by asking questions, when people come to me for advice they don't always want answers but by talking it out they come to their own conclusions."
"Did you know "failure is not in the bible dictionary? It starts that page with "faith.""
"Crying is proof we're alive"
"Grump not"
"Far too often we worry about future's that don't exist."
"If you don't have a sun, make one."
I know you're not dying or anything. I just appreciate and will miss spending time with you. Loves! Farewell for now.
Dear Santa, I know you don't believe in me but I still believe in you! I'm writing a list for you this year, hopefully not for the sheer pleasure of writing a list on a blog.

Eskimos have over a hundred words for snow. We have one: snow.
The spanish language has different words for different types of love. We have one: love. I could use millions of words to try and express my feelings but I highly doubt any of them will actually be able to truly grasp...well, me. The closest you get is a title: Lizi. The best thing to do when you can't understand something is enjoy it anyway.
