Why It's Not About You On Christmas

We just went through the holiday season
and I'm sure everyone received gifts..some wanted
and some not wanted.
I'm even sure there were some arguments and disagreements
that happened around the dinner table.

But did you even stop to think and realize
that this day, Christmas Day, isn't about you.
It's not about the gifts, the parties, or the yummy treats.
It's not about who got the best present or the most presents.

Christmas is truly about the birth of Christ.
It's about what sacrifices were given so that
you could live this great and wonderful life.

Christmas is a time where you reflect on
the things that matter most, it's not about you
it's about Christ.

So the next time that you get upset because
you got a gift that you did not want or was
the wrong color/style you should remember
that this day isn't about you, it's about Christ
and it always will be.

Much love,

Top [Ten] favorite quotes!

"Those who move forward with a happy spirit will find that things work out" -Gordon B. Hinckley I love this quote because I honestly believe in it.

It's so amazing that when I read or listen to his talks how much I feel as though he is talking specifically to me. 2. "You have not failed until you quit trying" -Gordon B. Hinckley See, I told you I love this man. I absolutely love this quote because it is true, I believe that if you keep on trying at something you have won in some regards. 3. "If you are a little better than you were yesterday, then that is enough" -David A....

Spring Break 2016

This year I was FINALLY able to go on a spring break trip with my family, which was much needed. You see usually my school schedule and work schedule never coincide with when my family is taking their annual trip to the lovely KW but this year it did! I was so excited to be able to go this trip! This year (and every other year) we traveled to Key West, Florida and OMG it was amazing! Even though it was a long(er) trip it was well worth it! There is so much to do there, even if the place itself is only 3 miles wide. My favorite thing to do is the Conch Train ride, its a little train/trolley ride that takes you around KW and tells you historical facts about the place, (maybe I love it a little too much because I am a history guru). But in all seriousness it is nice to actually get away from the demands of life and enjoy time with family and it doesn't hurt that it was in such a beautiful place surrounded by the ocean. On our way to Key West and on our way back home, we stopped at...
