Secrets

I met Aaron at the mall for lunch and we went and looked at wedding bands. We've done it before with some okay choices but we found THE ONE!!

So imagine this for a minute... This is one of the enhancer bands that a solitaire could slide in between and it's attached by a small bar in the back. WELL, what we're doing it having it split in half so the other skinny band will go on the other side of my ring. I'm very happy about this.

Crappy pictures that can't catch all the sparkle, but believe me, once it's split and put together I will take some fabulous pictures. I LOVE IT and no one else will have this one!

loved.

I know Aaron loves me when I look at our REI registry and see that he's registered me for...

THIS!

Although it may be a little embarrassing, I am curious. Can it keep up with my speed or could it over-flow?

I don't have the password to his account so I can't go delete it. Judging by my friends, I will be getting one 

this January and I will keep you posted ;)

Okay this made me like Halloween a little

I love the Nightmare Before Christmas, LOVE. There is a guy who decorates his house all out every year for Halloween and does a couple of light shows to popular songs. HERE is the link to his youtube page if you want to see others he's done. My friend posted one on Facebook and then I found the NBC one and it's definitely my fav:



He also did Party Rock Anthem, this one is the one I saw first on Facebook:


They also did Pump It! in 2010 which is pretty awesome.


So cool right!? who has time and smarts for this anyway sheesh!

Happy Halloween!

Eat it all Up

My class is getting so good! I am really enjoying it and am loving reading the great talks and articles about what we as Mormons believe.
I don't want this blog to be all Mormony and keep posting all these religious debates but I promise, this one is GOOD so listen up!

In a class in high school we had the abortion debate. It was awkward and people were getting real fired up about everything. What I remember from it was that the Pro-Choice side kept saying "it's up to the mother, it is her choice, it's her life, she ultimately should decide." that was really all they had to support their belief
HOLD THE PHONE!

I always knew it was wrong but I never had a good way of explaining my reasoning. Well Boyd K Packer put it in the best words I've ever read.
"Always when these destructive life-styles are debated, 'individual right of choice" is invoked as though it were the one sovereign virtue. That could be true only if there were but one of us.The rights of any individual bump up against the rights of another. And the simple truth is that we cannot be happy, nor saved, nor exalted, without one another."

BAM. her right for an individual choice was lost when she decided to "do the dirty" and have the rights of another inside of her.

SO GOOD! Props to Packer.

Fall in Bellingham

I decided today I need to get out and go take some pictures of what fall looks like to me.

First you have to start out with a fall appropriate outfit.

With of course a half zip sweatshirt

The drive from my house to Aaron's

The perfect color

With some on the ground

Not forgetting the marina

...or the boatyard 

Whale watching?

or whale watching you

NETS!

Amazing colored trucks

I just can't get enough.

Fahoo fores dahoo dores

It's THAT time of year, when the world falls in love.
Well almost, I love Christmas, and I would like to give Christmas music two and a half months in my house...
and I don't care what anyone says about waiting until after Halloween, where did that come from anyway?

On my request, go to Pandora.com make a login if you don't already have one (free) and type in Christmas.
The Christmas Station is doing the trick for me right now.

Something burned in my oven so my apartment didn't smell too great. But now that the apple crisp is cooking it smells delicious!

OH.MY.GOSH.

That is all.

Gloomy day. I LOVE IT!

Wore a sweatshirt and got all my homework done cuddled up on the couch.

(and went to the gym don't worry mommy)

My religion class is talking about eternal marriage and emphasizing the fact that as Mormons we believe in marriage between a man and a woman. We're also having good discussion on the roles each gender plays in a marriage and how gay marriage can never experience that. What a shame.

At church the other week in R.S. there was a girl there with a strong opinion on thinking that it's not fair that the men have the priesthood and we don't get anything except painful childbirth.

This ones for you:

Did you hear that? Superior, more demanding, complementing, rewards, it's different but we get to "perform the miracle of creation." Now do you want to keep your role as a woman?

I believe that if the men didn't have the priesthood they wouldn't do anything. I have heard a whole lot of younger men say that. It's true! They need the responsibility! So give it to them.
