I don't know why I always feel compelled to make faces like that. I also don't know why I always feel more compelled to start goals at the beginning of the year, as opposed to the second I realize I need to change something in my life. I mean, in reality, change is impartial to time. Life couldn't really care less if it's January 1st or July 17th. I was lucky to ring in the New Year with some of my closest friends. The kind of people who just inspire you to be better every second you're with them. I've compiled a list of 2015 "To Do's". They are actually more so, "To Become's". I figure resolutions are worthless if they aren't progressing me into becoming a better person. So that's what I'm resoluting (?) to do.

I want to become someone who speaks only kind words.

I want to become someone who is inspired (and inspires others) through film.

I want to become someone who harbors purely positive thoughts.

I want to become someone who flosses every single day. (haha..for real).

I want to become someone who eliminates negative self talk.

I want to become someone who is healthy. 

I want to become someone who develops an even greater love and understanding of the sacred temple ordinances.

I want to become someone who serves others more often. 

I want to become someone who will one day be a worthy wife and mother to choice children of Heavenly Father.

I want to become more like my Savior.

Merry Christmas.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Yes, Jesus Christ. In other words (and in efforts to clear up any misconceptions), I am a Christian. Thus along with the rest of the Christian world, I celebrate Christmas.

I just want to bear my simple testimony that I know that the Savior lives; I know that He was resurrected by His infinite glory, through the Father, to overcome death - not only for himself, but for all of us. I know that His atonement is something more than my mortal mind can fully comprehend. But I am ever so grateful for the mere glimpses of understanding Heavenly Father has granted me through sacred experiences. I know that we can return to live with Him again, after all we can do. I love that my Savior, in His perfect love, atoned for my many sins, shortcomings, inadequacies, pains, and imperfections; that He, a man without blemish, advocates perfection in all of my flaws.

Merry Christmas. :)

Today.

I will never understand those people who say, "Today was a good day" and actually mean, "I slept in until 2:00."

Unless you're a parent with a baby that was up all night, or something like that.

I'm just saying.

I can't sleep in on Saturdays. The one day we have in a week to get up and go on adventures and enjoy this beautiful world?

How could you want to sleep instead?!

Today was a really good day.

Nothing particularly striking about it; it was just good.

My roommates and I spent some time up Payson canyon, because I'd heard wonderful things about it.

It didn't disappoint.

And I really am so blessed to be surrounded with great people.

P.S. Officially booking Christmas-grams until med-December!

What is a Christmas-gram, you might ask?

It's where I take adorable videos of you and your family. And then in place of a Christmas letter,

you tell people to watch your video so they can see your perfect little family and what you've been up to this year.

Or you can still send the Christmas card, and we can just place a little QR code on the back with a link to your family's Christmas-gram.

Someday I'll actually finish my website so you can see a real live Christmas-gram.

Until then, let's just make you your very own. :)
