Home for Christmas...

So I'm home for Christmas.... 

What a time. The first three days of my vacation I slept in three different time zones... I'm not going to lie that was a little tolling on my body. I'm here though, finally home. It's funny though I think of home as Rexburg, Idaho, more than I think of home here where I am. My mother is in Iran, my father in Louisiana, and my brother in Atlanta... I've moved around quite a few times so it's hard to choose a place where I'd call home... Where in this world do I feel most at home? In this snowy little town called Rexburg... 

I decided that I love the snow, but I can't drive in it and that's why I hate it. I have a very light weight car so it seems to swish around even when I'm careful! It scares me! SO that is why I would ever disown the snow, because of my own fault of not being able to drive in it. 

I love trying to figure things out and realizing that in the end it's only but faith that will help me carry me on

I love Christmas. I love my Savior and the time of year he brings at this moment. It's such a wonderful time to be in. 

Basically I've done nothing exciting though just chillin out at home. It's nice. Well hope to have some exciting things to put up soon! 

Sincerely, 

your one and true Flower

Spirit Conference Extravaganza!


I feel so blessed for my experiences here at BYU-Idaho. I love it so much. I joined the SSE ( Student Spirit Events) This past summer and I have absolutely loved it! It's been amazing! This semester I was given the opportunity to be a mentor this semester and it seriously was the most amazing moment of my semester, in all honesty! 
This was my mentor group!!! We were such a fun group! I seriously felt that Heavenly Father put us together. We had such an awesome moment in the bus and we shared our favorite scripture thanks to Cassie, and it was such a spiritual moment! We grew so close to each other in that small moment in time! I love this gospel looks how it creates friends! 
The most amazing thing we did was called the SPIRIT CHALLENGE. This is what I feel is one of the greatest object lessons of the Tree of Life ever! I love this gospel. I've always been a part of it but I've never watched it and it was such a testimony building moment of my life. Oh my... I love life. 
This picture above is why I love Idaho. 
This is a weekend I needed so bad. I loved the bonding and love of Christ and God and the feelings that I have for the Gospel. 

Oh and one of my Best Friend's Jaclyn Pope is ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!

Christ, my Savior, my everything...


I feel so blessed to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Everyday I wonder why I was so blessed to be given this gospel. I have had some pretty trying times lately and so I called one of my best friend's Ashley. She is so amazing, and she really really helped me a lot and is always there for me. These are just a few quotes from the brethren that have made me feel better in times that I felt were hard and low. I love the comforting words of our apostles. 
"The disciple will be puzzled at times, too. But he persists. Later he rejoices and exclaims over how wonderfully things fit together, realizing, only then, that with God—things never were apart! "~ Neil A. Maxwell 

“Faith is not only a feeling; it is a decision.”

Neil L. Anderson

 "That we may always know that no matter how dark our Friday, Sunday will come is my prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen." ~ Joseph B. Wirthlin 

"In life, have much fun and laughter. LIfe is to be enjoyed not just endured." ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
