The Beauties of the Earth!

This past week I have had the opportunity to be in Flagstaff and see all of the beautiful nature that surrounds it. One night I was able to go on a night hike with my friends. We hiked up a mountain, and when we reached the top we were able to look up and see the stars that spotted the sky it was absolutely amazing!! It made me think of how big the universe is and how much there is out there that we don't know about. And about our Heavenly Father and all of the worlds that are out there. It made me feel really small, but at the same time really loved. I know that even thought I am small comnpared to the universe, Heavenly Father still loves me and listens to answers my prayers. He watches over me and cares for me because I am his child.



The next day, we were able to take a trip to the Grand Canyon and see the sun set there. It was absolutley breathtaking. It made me think of the hymn "How Great Thou Art."

Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed;

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee,

How great thou art! How great thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior, God to thee,

How great thou art! How great thou art!

I know that my Heavenly Father has blessed me by giving me all of the beautiful nature that surrounds me. It is so amazing that he would take the time to make it so beautiful and ornate for me. I feel blessed to be able to be surrounded by it all of the time.

These are pictures that I took at the Grand Canyon of the sun set.

I am also so blessed to be able to have the friends that I have. They are such good examples to me and are always there for me. Whenever I need a hug or a get-away, they are there. I have been so incredibly blessed in my life!

Lava Tubes!!!!

So yesterday morning, I went with my friends Ammon Naylor, Alyssa Alhmer, and Melissa Christensen to Flagstaff's one and only, Lava Tubes. It was so much fun!! You climb into this whole in the ground and climb down some rocks (that happened to have a lot of water and ice on them) until you get the semi level ground. You pretty much hike through a cave that was carved my lava. Sometimes the ceiling would get really low and you have to pretty much crawl to get through it. It was so much fun! and cold and dark... but fun! And now, today, the day after, I am sore. It's so pathetic that I'm sore from hiking, but alas, I am. I would recommend doing this hike!

I'm Still Here!!!

It's been a while since I've posted anything. That's probably because nothing exciting ever happens in my life. Pretty much I'm just going to school; 
it's such an exciting life. This past month there was spring break, which I got to go home for! It was so good to spend time with my family (even thought I was cleaning for a lot of the weekend). But it was so good to see my family and spend time with them. I love my family and miss them so much! Also, last week, I was awoken at 2 in the morning out of deep sleep by a noise that we soon after found out was a chain saw and maniacal laughing. And then a few mornings later, I woke up and found 4 roses, a bag of chocolates, and a hand written poem sitting on our table. These were both by the same person believe it or not. That made this week more interesting than the rest. But life is good and I am still alive!  

Ok, here's the picture I promised of the Snow day. It's only one, but it all I have. It's of me, Aubree, Kylie, Nick, Jeff, and our amazing snowman that we built in the back of Jeff's truck. I 

think it's pretty cool!

SNOW DAY!!!!

So this past weekend, it snowed and snowed and snowed and snowed. And guess what it brought? My first ever SNOW DAY!!! I was so excited, one reason because I had early class that morning, and also becuase it gave me time to do homework that I needed to catch up on, but most of all, so I could play! I spent the day watching lost with my roommates and some friends from our complex, eating an amazing breakfast of waffles and eggs and bacon, and playing in the snow (including watching my roomates try to sled down and hill with card board boxes, having a snowball fight, and making a snowman). It was such a fun day. I'm so glad I got that day to relax and catch up on everything. I wish there was a snow day ever Tuesday!!! 

Oh and I would post pictures, but I don't have any from that day, but I'll get some... sometime... and post them.
