SO MANY PICTURES

hello my dear friends (:

spring break has been fantastic so far!

to start off, megan and i hit up the young womens conference!

it was fantastic!

 Pinterest hair??

The conference was fantastic!

"any place can be a holy place"

"everything you do now will influence generations to come"

"You can spend your days feeling sad, alone, misunderstood, or unwanted. But that isn’t the journey you had hoped for, and it’s not the journey Heavenly Father sent you to take"

and my very favorite one

 "But the best part of this love story is when Rebekah 

first saw Isaac and he first saw her. It doesn’t say this 

in the Bible, but I think it was love at first sight! For 

“virtue loveth virtue; [and] light cleaveth unto light."

The conference really was great (:

okay! 

sunday was easter! 

please ignore that cake. i really didnt partake of anything un healthy for all of easter

 someone shouted marijuana!

 I call this "we were all staring into the sun"

"look at that monkey scratching itself in front of everyone"

 "the kabes is tired"

 "we went from elephants to elephuns to smelliphants to smellifuns"

 "get out of my face mom im trying to instagram"
