Greater Love

A boy in my ward sang this song today. It was

so beautiful. They lyrics were so touching, and

I wanted to remember them.

GREATER LOVE

(written by Kenneth Cope)

If I had been there at His trial

And watched as they mocked Israel’s King

I wonder if I would have tried to turn their hearts to Him

If I had been there when they whipped Him

And watched as He fell to His knees

Would I have been willing to offer my own life for Him?

For His friends—how He bled

His love for them was just as He said

Greater love—He showed the greatest love of all

If I had been there at the hillside

When they fastened His hands to a cross

I’m sure that my heart would have broken

For His friends—for His friends

And that’s me if I do what He said

Would I give—could I live my life

Like Jesus—Jesus?

Well, now it’s been years since His lifetime

But He and His love still remain

And all that I want is to be like Him

He was all I hope to be

I would give my life to be

The kind of friend Jesus was to me

Greater love

Internship

I got an internship! 

I now work at Keeler Thomas

This is me ready for my first day of work. It was

a little overwhelming, but I like it. Sometimes it's a

little weird seeing myself in business clothes, but I

like it. I am super excited to learn and gain experience. 

Valentines Day

I have a little catching up to do. For Valentines Day
Ally, Kayla, and I wanted to heart attack Andy's house
while he was. We wrote on a lot of the little hearts cheesy
pickup lines or love quotes. We had a good time.

 On Valentines Day, Andy invited us girls over for
dinner. I was excited for it all day. I actually love
 Valentines Day even though I never have a Valentine....
Well that is a lie. My mom is always my Valentine and
she is the best!


When we got there we walked into a candle-lit hallway

and a candle-lit kitchen with 3 roses, 3 boxes of chocolate
and 3 cards with our names on them.

We each took turns reading our cards out loud

And then ate yummy fondu.

And we ended the night with a couple group shots
and watched a movie.

Thanks Andy for making our night so fun!

Boys are....

Time and time again I am reminded of how... silly boys

can be. It amazes me how differently boys and girls think.

I have been especially aggravated with boys lately, and I

am on an "anti-dating" mode (probably wont last long).

However, last night I read this paragraph in my book :

"Everyone has something of beauty about them. In the beginning

 for me, it was Ky'e eyes I noticed, and I love them still. But loving 

lets you look, and look, and look again. You notice the back of the

 hand, the turn of a head, the way of a walk. When you first love,

 you look blind and you see it all as the glorious, beloved whole, or 

a beautiful sum of beautiful parts. But when you see the one you 

love as pieces, as whys-- why he walks like this, why he closes

 his eyes like that-- you can love those parts, too, and it's a love

 at once more complicated and more complete."

I don't really know what to say except for I really love this. 

Yes, boys and girls are so different, but when you love

someone you learn to love (almost) everything about them.

I can't wait until I find love like that. A love so deep that

all of their annoying behaviors and immature moments can

be looked over and loved.

Quotes

Sometimes all you need is a good quote

to lift you up. Thanks to Pinterest you can find

a plethora of them. Here are some of my favorites.

Girl Time

We had a girls night last weekend. It was wonderful!

We went to Brick Oven to stuff our faces and talk.

 Elna, me, Ally

Kayla, Emily, Lizzy

Elna and I had a great laugh because we dated the

same guy. I love that we are friends though and

we can make jokes about it :)

Emily was going gaga over some really tall guy.

Then she realized it was Brandon Davies from

the BYU basketball team. She was freaking out.

It was so cute. Ally was so brave and asked him

if he would take a picture with us.

And Thanks to Lizzy we got a discount on our meal

because she works there! AWESOME!

Afterwards we piled into my car, jammed out

to Call Me Maybe, and dropped everyone off

at home. 

Viva Las Vegas

Ally and I were starting our party a little

early with some Just Dance. Ally got this

amazing dance on video. I was dying laughing
