Basically, life is great :) I'm not saying there aren't bumps in the road, but overall it's been quite enjoyable :) I Love my friends!! I'd like to give a thank you to:
ChuddaChudda, who makes my day, everyday. There are so many things I could say here, but I'll just sum it up by saying he's my everything. :) He always knows how to make me smile and helps me be happy - even when he doesn't know he's doing it. I Love you :)
MomWebb, who is my inspiration and my hero. I Love her more than I can say. She always knows how to make things right when everything is falling apart, and she's one of my best friends :)
Michilli! [sorry if I spelled that wrong] My gorgeous little sister, I'm so glad we have become such great buds :D
Twin, who lights up my world ;)
LittleSis, who is always eager to Love. And gives some of the best hugs ever!
Gladiator, who laughs with me [not at me] when I'm being a dork, and smiles at my randomness.
Tiave, who makes me smile.. despite how ridiculous he is to deal with, sometimes. Love ya :)
SilverLight, Eli~. I just came up with this, because she has like water-blue-silver eyes, and she.... just glows. She always says hi to me when she see's me, and smiles. She has a way of making you feel wanted just when you really need it.
KyDancer, who gives me reasons to laugh all the time. I'm much better off because of her bright pretty face :)
Wall, who also makes me laugh. Everything about this amazing gal puts a smile on my face :)
Katie J., just adorable in every way! She really hasn't changed since we were six. Her smile is SO contagious.
ZANK! Because he always knows just when to be a dork, when I really need to smile. Hey hey hey ;)
Soza, who is courteous. He always says thank you, even for the small things, and always says hi to me.
Poker, who is good at making me smile.. most of the time :)
Jareth! Isn't that one of the coolest names you've ever heard?? He's an upcoming freshman, and has decided to join the lovelyness of guard! I've only known him two days, but so far he's made me smile :)
Sketch.. Wow. She attacks me everytime I see her, and makes me feel SO Loved.
Scales. Always excited to see me. :)
Dream, who I can trust, and can trust me. Great listener :)
There are probably many more people who do little things to make me smile, but these are the ones I remember the most right now. Thank you all so much! You are the ones who make my life happy :)

The Four B's
I meant to blog about this a while ago.. but I forgot. Silly Kiki :)
These are my notes from Church on Sunday, April 11, 2010.
Sis. Bingham: (Spoke in Sacrament Meeting) "Every member a missionary." We are called. "Surely someone will take care of that need." Act. That someone is you. Missionary work in it's purest form is a genuine inward desire to share the Gospel. Be an example of someone who is sensitive to the Spirit. Do what you're told to do. Hold your heads up, work with diligence, do what the church tells you to do. "In may cases, member missionary work is the only missionary work we can do" ♫ Let the lower lights be burning... some poor fainting, struggling sea-man you may rescue, you may save ♫
Bro. Bingham: (Also in Sacrament Meeting) Missionary work has a thousand names and a thousand faces. Heavenly Father very much is involved in this work. Yours is the privilege to be not spectators, but participate in that work. "Youth of the church, the world is in need of your help." [Pres. Monson]
*********and hear is what I was thinking about, that I felt like I should write down:
This Gospel is not a set of rules. It's not a list of do's and don't's for everyone in it. It is the only church that has the authority to use God's power and as such the leaders of it give us advice straight from Him. How lucky we are to have this! So, no matter how large or small our church is.. doesn't matter. What matters is that it's the only way to have the constant companionship and guidance of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Those 'rules' aren't mere do's and don't's, they are strong advice from God to help us live happy lives. This is the only Gospel that has the fullness of that advice. How grateful I am to be a part of that.
*********
And now the join lesson in Young Women that same day
Bro. Barry: Resist the devil. Let your light shine. If it's darkness you feel, don't say what you're thinking. don't gossip. "Talk good" about others. Talk about the good that's happening to you. Don't be afraid to talk about the Gospel. Tender mercies happen to you everyday, share them. He will help you all along the way.
Sis. Barry: We litterally were called on this mission when we sustained Christ in the pre-existance. You are on a mission NOW. You've been given the gift of this Gospel. People depend on us to share it. You learn this Gospel from when you are two. You are on your mission now. So,

How are you doing?
Don't have an un-honorable mission. You can have an honorable mission. You can do it. If we don't, who on earth will?
Become PROFOUND Theologians
Who? Mothers, missionaries, members of the church. You can't teach well what you do not know. Know the scriptures. Come to church. Go to seminary. Go to mutual. Pray. Ask (parents, friends, etc.) Discuss. Listen. Read Church magazines. General Conference. FHE. Temple.
Have you been doing this?
Yes! You are having this MTC experience. Do you know enough? I bet you DO. You know these answers. You know enough to start TODAY. By your example. It's your calling. You are on a mission. Knowledge starting flowing in when you have this FIRM foundation. Study the scriptures. That is where the basis of this whole Gospel is. Daily: ponder them, pray about them, study them. They will lead you to Christ and give you instruction. It works. Share what you learn in seminary.
Themes of the Barry's talks: No gossip. Share tender mercies. Knowledge. Learn answers.
As you can see, I took quite a bit of notes on the 11th. I Loved it, so much. I just had to write down all the good stuff that was flowing out of those people's mouths. I knew I had to, these people are always inspirational. And I'm very, very glad I did. Just reading over them again brings back the feeling I had that day. Thank you SO much, B's. :)
