Awww.....

I am so proud of my family back home. Mail is SO much fun to get. But it never fails to amaze me when it's addressed to "Princess". That just touches my heart. I am so dang proud (much like a PTA mom) of them still addressing me like this... I thought it was going to die out when I left.

Anyways... I got mail today from Chloe and Sophie. I miss them so much. Sophie gets bigger each time I see her and Chloe's stories keep getting more and more detailed. Can't wait to see them next weekend. I am so looking forward to it! Me and my roommate are watching Little Mermaid, makes me think of Chloe.

What A Rush!

Dance Dance

Where do I

begin? It was all so fast and so FUN! Tonight was so much fun. Guess I'll start how the idea began. There is an institute dance on Friday (Today). And the theme was "High School Stereotypes", and you where suppose to dress up as one. So... I was like "Nerd" all the way! I had my glasses and everything. But then after a discussion in my living room one day, pretty much Thursday afternoon, Darry

n, Ashli and I decided to be gangsta's!!! Ha ha. So we were going to borrow so boys baggy pants, and go for the rest. Well..... It ended up being better than I

thought. So like today before the dance I was talking to Skyeller. And telling him to dress up. He was like, "What if I went as a banana?" Oh gosh. What an AW

ESOME idea! I told him he would be my hero for at

least one month. So the kid was like, "OK saw it at Walmart, I am doing it." Ha Ha. I really didn't think he was... but it was cool that he thought he was. So we were going to Walmart to get his Banana suit and my gangsta shirt.

Turns out that he did find a banana suit and he did buy it. But first he tried to all on in the store. SO FUNNY! OK, then getting read

y for the dance. Skyeller's friend Trevor lended us his pants (;)) and we started getting ready. I think I have been waiting my whole life to dress like this. Boy's pockets are HUGE! I fitted my phone, camera, lip gloss and keys in it and you couldn't even tell. Anyways... Alyssa had gotten tattoes and we had LOTS of fun with that. Logan and Ashl

i: both put a "Tramp Stamp" on. It was SO much fun. So funny. Alyssa dressed up as a EMO and Owen was a COWBOY! It was SO fun! I

loved it. Wearing baggy clothes, hats, and walking like a penguin is like totally me. So the dance was way fun. But my pants were always falling off! And Adam taught me this way cool, really old, EFY dance. Th

at totally went with my gangsta look. I have so much fun. Dressing up was so much fun. The banana, totally respect Skyeller fo

r that. He was the "CLASS CLOWN" Such a way cool kid. I am so glad I went to this. Awww, fun fun. Oh. then came home! FINALLY! and went to Sonic with Ashli and Owen. Then came home and talked to Ashli and Logan for FOREVER and now its like 3 A.M. Saturday and its just now hitting me. Good times tonight. Way fun. Everyone was so cool. The dance was so funny.....

What Makes My Day

A few things... 1 when I receive mail. 2 when I get clothes in the mail. 3

when my mail is addressed to Princess. Oh, and a new one.... 4 last nigh

t it was raining, so we opened our window. And it usually only rains for an hour or so. But I feel asleep to the sound of rain, that made my day! ;)
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa. I love the sweater. Its so cute. I am in some serious need of new clothes here. Ha ha. Pamella told me you can't wear the same thing twice for at least 2 weeks. Which is totally true. But I have to wear 2 different Sunday outfits each week. Which I really have enough clothes to be able to do this, just I have my favorite outfits and its so hard to only wear them once a month. Ha Ha. The troubles of a college student! Anyways! THANK YOU! I love love LOVE getting mail!

The Family: A Proclamation to the World

We, the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, solemnly proclaim that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children.

All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.

In the premortal realm, spirit sons and daughters knew and worshipped God as their Eternal Father and accepted His plan by which His children could obtain a physical body and gain earthly experience to progress toward perfection and ultimately realize their divine destiny as heirs of eternal life. The divine plan of happiness enables family relationships to be perpetuated beyond the grave. Sacred ordinances and covenants available in holy temples make it possible for individuals to return to the presence of God and for families to be united eternally.

The first commandment that God gave to Adam and Eve pertained to their potential for parenthood as husband and wife. We declare that God’s commandment for His children to multiply and replenish the earth remains in force. We further declare that God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife.

We declare the means by which mortal life is created to be divinely appointed. We affirm the sanctity of life and of its importance in God’s eternal plan.

Husband and wife have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations.

The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed.

We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets.

We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.

This proclamation was read by President Gordon B. Hinckley as part of his message at the General Relief Society Meeting held September 23, 1995, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
