October

It's October 22.  Where the heck did October go??  Honestly this month has gone by SO fast.  Anyways, here are some of my October highlights.  



Before going home for Conference weekend, my roommates and I got to play in this hail storm!  It's little things like these that remind me of the beauty of this life.  


GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!   On the 4th and 5th of this month, we had the opportunity to listen to the Lord's words through His called leaders of this Gospel.  Let me tell you, it was seriously incredible.  One of my favorite talks was President Uchtdorf's talk Come, Join with Us.  He totally nailed it.  "..please, first doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith.8 We must never allow doubt to hold us prisoner and keep us from the divine love, peace, and gifts that come through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ."  To read his entire talk, click here.  To read, watch, or listen to any of the talks that were given in the October 2013 General Conference, click here.  


On October 10th, I got to finally say that my best friend has been out in the mission field for 6 WHOLE months.  6 MONTHS ALREADY!  I'm already a quarter of the way done with this wait!  Days seem to drag on, but honestly the weeks fly by.  I was so excited, I sent him a "happy six months" package.  He's such an amazing example to me, and I couldn't ask for a better best friend.  I can't believe I've already gone a whole six months without him by my side.  Just under 18 more to go!  :)

 Midterms were last week..Let's just say I'm extremely thankful that most of them are over.  I totally aced my psych test though!  I literally teared up and almost hugged my professor when he handed the test back to me.  #winning 

FALL BREAK was last week as well.  So after those awful midterms, I got to go home and chill with my crazy family for a few days.  That was definitely a relief.  We had lots of sister time.  :)  The break was definitely not long enough though.  
Sister date!! ^^


Pumpkin Patch with this little squirt.  ^^

I recorded a new cover!  You can listen to it on my soundcloud profile by clicking here.  



I'm sure there will be many more highlights of October as it comes to a close, but this is it for now!  I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the month; enjoy these beautiful autumn colors while they're still here!

So Much To Live For

One of my best friends showed me this video a while back, and I came across it this last week.  
Please watch it, it's incredible. 





I'm going to keep this short and sweet; there is so much to live for.  Don't give up because you want to be noticed, or heard.  You are loved, and you make a difference.  
This world would be a different place without you.  Nobody can fill the role that you fill.  
There is so much to live for, and if you haven't found that to be true, find something worth living for.  This life is truly an amazing thing, and you only get to live it here on this earth one time.  
Make it count, find something to live for.
It doesn't matter how far you feel you have gone.  
There is never a point of no return. 
That's the beauty of this life; living.  

Always remember, you are loved.
