Tithing

So, I just have to say that tithing is pretty much the biggest blessing giver in the world. Last saturday I borrowed a friends car to go to salt lake, and the trip went just fine, until upon arriving home, I decided to fill the car up with gas. I got to the gas station, slid my card and got ready to fill it up, when I realised that I had no idea how to pop open the gas cap cover thing... So i searched and searched and couldn't find the button so I got ready to leave. Before leaving I checked the screen and it looked like my card had cancelled. So I went home and found out where the button was and was off again. I returned to the gas station a few hours later and put about 6 dollars of gas in. When I got home I checked my balance, and i only had a few dollars in my bank account which suprised me because I had over a hundred when I had left. A charge was on my balance of 100 dollars that I was supposed to have charged at the gas station about 2 minutes after I had left. My card had not really cancelled, and whoever went after me had charged their gas to my card. I freaked out. I mean this was ALL of my money, ALL of it! So I called the bank, they were closed, and called the lost or stolen card number and they couldn't help me, (side note: I love how they put that number on the back of your card! Like you'll really have your card around to see the number if it's been lost or stolen! oy...) So finally I went to the gas station, and at that point they couldn't help me yet. So I spent the day freaking out, and on sunday I went to church and paid my tithing with a check. I had to transfer my savings into my checking account to pay for the tithing but I thought it would be worth it. So, when monday came and my tithing check was yet to go through and I had less money in my account than could cover it, I was totally freaking out. The Irony of it all, My tithing check was going to bounce! Haha.. it's kind of funny when you think about it... But anyways, on tuesday I went to the bank and after talking to them I found out that they couldn't help me yet, so I was destined to have my temporary poorness. Dang dang dang... But here comes the blessing: Yesterday night when I checked my balance, the charge was completely gone, not like canceled, but like it had never happened in the first place. My money was back, and seriously I cried. SO the moral of the story? When in doubt, PAY YOUR TITHING.

Fruits Basket!!!!

I just started watching this show, called Fruits Basket, it is an anime show that my friend aubree has started me liking. I was slighly suspicious at first, but after watching the first episode I was totally hooked! So thanks Aubree! But this show, seriously you should spend some time watching it because it is really awesome! It is about the zodiac and people who have been born to live as one of the different animals of the zodiac. It's pretty cool, and it makes me laugh. It has all the lameness a good show needs along with amazingness that makes it totally worthwhile. And sorry, this is definitely the worst blog I have ever written... but the show is good :)

The Amazingness of Kristen Hendriksen

SO my friend Kristen pretty much said that I needed to write a blog about her so that she could comment on it, so I decided to take the opportunity and write about her. For starters she has very nice eyes, very nice. And this is a trait i take total advantage of every time I say something that offends her. But it's not a lie, they really are super nice! But also she is just so cool, she has like this quiet exterior but man when you get in a conversation with her you cannot stop laughing because she is so funny, and it is smart funny too. Oh gosh it kills me. Also, she is just so nice, like really if you need someone to talk to and just to be understanding, she is the one. And no worries, she is the most humble person ever. She would never ever ask someone to write a blog about how amazing she was, well actually she might, in fact, I think she did. Oh well, I love the girl.

So Tag You're it: Kelsi, Aubree, Becky So You Had Better Blog

"She knew little about him, yet she felt that she knew him better than anyone in her life, understood the essentials of him, the shape of the spirit that lived in his heart, the strength of the heart that was the compass of his mind."
"He had seen many women more beautiful than she was.He had never seen one at whom he enjoyed more looking."
Okay so lame though this may sound, I totally want that kind of love, like really. I want to find someone who I know better than anyone else even though I don't know everything about them. And maybe that is not even possible, but if it is, I want to find it. I want to find it so badly. These quotes strangely enough comes from a book by Dean Koontz, it is called The Good Guy, and it is about a man who has been hired to kill a woman, and the man who decides to risk his life to save the woman even though he doesn't even know her. I found myself caught in this book, i wanted to finish, but at the same time i never wanted it to end. I wanted to be that woman who had found that kind of love for this man, who loved her more than anything. It sounds so wonderful, and so impossible, but that doesn't stop me from wanting it.
I am only 18 but that doesn't stop me from wanting marriage and family and a career, and everything that life has for me. And I have no idea what is coming, I am at a place where anything could happen, anything, and I don't really know how to approach that. I mean wow... decisions decisions. And life is crazy, I mean honestly you can never guess what will happen next, what trials or blessings are around the corner, and that inability to know makes it hard. We have to make decisions without knowing their outcomes, but luckily we have guides, spritual, physical, and emotional guides that we find in those around us, and also in our god.
Whoever it is that you love, and whoever it is that you decide to worship, even if it is not the same god that I have found, I hope they guide you on your path. I hope you find what needs to be found, because someday we will be shown are lives, and I for one want to be able to look back with confidence knowing that I did what was right.
