Momma Bear.

This is Momma Bear. She's cap'n. And my best friend. She had a birthday last week, here are 10 things I adore about her.

1. She makes a snickering sound that I just love.
2. Whenever she starts something and she likes it, she puts her whole heart into it.
3. Whenever I need someone to talk to, she's always there with an open mind and helps me see the other side.
4. If it wasn't for her, my family wouldn't be in the church. She's the one who let the missionaries into our home and I couldn't thank her enough for that each day.
5. She is always helping our family grow spiritually, she's the one who gets us to read our scriptures and say our prayers.
6. She has mad dance moves.
7. She's gorgeous. I hope that when people say you look like your mom when your older, they're right. Because I sure wouldn't mind it.
8. She'll do anything to make her family happy.
9. She helps me stay calm when I get worked up about things, and she's always patient with me.
10. She keeps our family together and always reminds us that we can do hard things.

Lately

The last few weeks my life has consisted of only a couple of things.

1. 
   
   
   
   

Studying. Like crazy. Mainly for AP US History, don't ask me why I'm taking this class. Because I question myself everyday when I walk in. But I know in the end, it'll be worth it. You know why? i'm determined to pass the AP test. I will study until the first Friday in May, and I will pass.

2.

Reading. I love to read, and sometimes I forget that. And then when I realize how much I love it, I just can't stop. Right now i'm reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, everyone needs to read it.

3.

Sadies! I know it's next weekend, but trust me. I've been putting a lot of effort into this dance. I was in charge of our shirts (which are going to be dang cute) and so I've had a lot to do. But last week we went to Castles n Coasters! Oh, by the way, this is Dallin. He's my best friend, isn't he so adorable?! But anyway, CNC was the best, I had the time of my life.
