I'm just gonna get right to the point. I just discovered yet another thing about myself! I do realized that I get upset over little things a lot, but I get over them fast. I'm sure your all rolling your eyes right about now, and I never thought I got over things fast either. But I do. Let me explain.
I am not the kind of person that gets my feelings hurt often. Unless my family or really close friends say something to me, I usually don't care what other people think of me. If someone thinks I am "Too Enthusiastic" or a "Fun Crusher" than that's their problem, because I like me. My family likes me. I stay with in Jehovah's guide lines. And I have friends who I think like me. So as long as I am not offending people or stirring the pot anywhere, I just be me. And because of that, I don't get my "feelings" hurt that often!
But a few weeks ago I got my "feelings" hurt. And I was actually shocked by how much it hurt! It wasn't something I was upset about for a few hours. It was something that really hit me hard and took me a while to get over. And I realized when someone gets their feelings hurt, why an apology can mean so much! I never realized that I had feelings to be hurt.
There is a difference between being offended and having your feelings hurt. A difference between being offended and feeling used. Its really hard to get over. It was just new experience for me, because I usually don't care. It made me realize what is important and (I'm sure you have all been waiting for me to realize this one) that the little things don't matter as much. Because when I actually got my feelings hurt about something that is important to me, then I realized how trivial EVERYTHING else is! (snapshot)
So, I am okay now. Unlike when I am "offended", having my "feelings" hurt took me awhile to get over. I cried for a few days. But now I am okay.
When people say "Only time can heal a broken heart.." they are right. And now I get it. I realize that I will always be a work in progress. As we all are. We are all working on ourselves to be the best version of ourselves we can be. And sometimes its hard. But we're all working on it everyday.
So next time you don't want to say "Sorry".. man up and say it. And next time you want to hear it.. say it first. You never know what you might hear in return.

Diane Lane vs. Scarlett Johansson
Hi guys! Me and a few friends are each burning a cd of our 15 favorite songs at the moment and then trading them! Its a pretty cool idea, but now I am at a loss of what my favorite songs are! I love them all!! ;)
So this last weekend, I had a booth at the mall on the hill. It wasn't my best show, but it was okay. Not that I haven't realized it before, but there are some REALLY weird people in this world! I swear the majority of Americans can't possibly own a mirror. If they did, they must not look in it. Because if they took a look in a mirror, they mite not go out.. well actually.. They still might go out like they do! You know when someone is walking by you and your not sure if its a dude or a chick? Ya.. that's bad! And NO man should ever wear skinny jeans. I'm sorry Hunter Hayes, but they are not good. In fact they are quite revolting! Nothing should be skin tight below the waist guys! Its just wrong.
So yesterday, it was just me and mom at the mall. I made a comment about my hair, and how bad I thought it looked that day. I am in the middle of growing it out and its at that terrible phase where its too long to be short, but too short to be long! I can't put it up in a ponytail, but it doesn't look good just "down" any more. So I am having a terrible time trying to figure out what to do with it. I think I am just gonna throw it under a hat from now on. So either way, I was complaining about how bad my hair looked and my mom, with out even looking up says
"It looked worse yesterday."(snapshot)
I was shocked. I thought my hair looked pretty good the day before. Guess I was wrong. Like I said last time I wrote, you only get that kinda honesty from.. Family!
Now going off subject, I have been told I look like Scarlett Johansson before, by several unrelated people. I don't see the resemblance, and I'm not a big fan of hers and I don't really want to look like her. But a few nights ago I was told I look like Diane Lane! Especially with her Nights of Rodanthe hair cut! Sad movie btw, don't watch it! Either way, I think Diane Lane is super pretty and I don't mind people thinking I look like her. But what do you think? Diane Lane and I have any resemblance? I think Diane Lane is a whole ton prettier than Scarlett Johansson!
So people need to look in the mirror before they leave the house, men should never wear skinny jeans, family can be brutally honest and Diane Lane is prettier than Scarlett Johansson.. what a productive discussion!

Can't Pick Your Family
Hey folks! Its so gosh darn cold here today, everyone is staying in doors! I just canceled my dentist appointment in Hayward, because its just to cold to go out. The horses spent the night in the barn, bunked down with hay and grain. And the dogs are in the house, and it ain't warming up! Even the sun looks cold this morning. But at -20, everything looks cold!
So a few nights ago I was listening to the radio (I realize many of my conversations start this way) and I heard a new song by Rodney Atkins called "Family". After listening to the first verse I knew it was gonna be a good one! Ya'll need to hear it!! Its SO us! It'll make you laugh because everyone knows me and everyone knows how I feel about family! All I'm saying is Tiffany, if your reading this, you should feel special! You don't get my kinda honest from just anyone! You get it from "Family." Pete and Kelli, you should feel special too! ;) I am seriously part of the BEST family ever!
Not only was it written about my family, but I can also relate it to my congregation! I seriously am part of the COOLEST congregation ever! Where else can you go to meeting and actually joke about the football game in the middle of watchtower? Solon Spring baby! That's the place! We are the biggest quilt family I have ever seen! We're made up of the funkiest types of people, and yet we all go great together! We don't care if you got the latest fashion, we don't care if you say crap in the mic (but I wouldn't encourage it), or if you forget what you were saying half way through your comment, or if you comment with out the mic at all! We don't care if you don't know your own name (Mikayla), or want to talk about the football game, and even if you have the LAMEST jokes on the planet, we still want to hear em! (snapshot) "I didn't choose em, but I'd hate to loose em!" I love our congregation!
I'm gonna post the song on here, cuz I need everyone to hear this song. This song was totally written with us in mind! ;) This is gonna be the theme song for next years 4th of July part-a!!

God is Great, Beer is Good, and People are Crazy
Hey guys! Hows it going? I haven't checked in for awhile! I bet your all wondering where I've been! Well, to tell you the truth, I would much rather have fallen of the face of the earth to drift around with the stars in space!! How much fun would that be? Instead I have been on earth hanging out with my awesome peeps, helping to plan a wedding for one of the best!!
So a few nights ago the bridal party and I spent the day in Duluth shopping for wedding supplies!! We have a list of things to that needs to be done, picking bridesmaid dresses at the top! I had no idea how much fun bridal shops are! Walking into a bridal shop is liking walking into a dream closet! You take your shoes off and you walk on carpet, their are chairs and couches all around for spectators, racks and racks and racks of endless amounts dresses in all kinda colors and (my favorite part) ENDLESS amounts of mirrors!! Who doesn't love to look at themselves in the mirror.. oh wait! No one loves to look at themselves in the mirror.. unless you are part of an amazing bridal party.. in that case your gonna look hot!
So I was talking with someone and we were talking about our favorite scriptures.. and I realized I didn't really have one.. I was disappointed with my self at first. And then I thought about it for a minute and I knew what scripture was my favorite.. its a scripture that REALLY pushed me to get baptized when I did.
My favorite scripture is (Philippians 4:6) Its an amazing scripture and really gets me through a lot. When our whole world and all that we know is falling apart, Jehovah is the only one is standing strong, there for us to hold on to. Some days.. when I feel like I just can't take another step in life, I remember what really matters and it lightens all the rest! And I remember that through it all, Jehovah takes care of us and anything is possible when we have him on our side.
So whats your favorite scripture and why do you love it?

Hey people! How are you all enjoying this weather?? Do you realize that its January and we have barely had any snow? Last year, we got our first snow fall in October and it didn't leave every again.. well until spring! ;)
Oh my goodness! Just as I am writing this, it starts snowing! Was it supposed to snow today? Darn it!I hate snow. I hate cold. I hate it. I hate it.
So I haven't been sleeping good lately. I think its just because my stress level is through the roof and I just can't relax. I tried tea before bed, which didn't help all that much. And its not that I'm not tired! I just can't power down my mind! I can't relax. I'm not sure what to do about it, so right now I am getting better at just getting by!
The snow is really coming down now! In big fat flakes too..
So this morning, I was supposed to go out in service. I had plans of inviting my call to meeting tomorrow. We have the C.O. and he is such an amazing speaker. He has a way of explaining things that makes it real! But I didn't fall asleep until sometime after three.. and this morning I got up with the worse feeling. I came up stairs for a little bit and decided that I needed to sleep a little bit longer than 3 1/2 hrs. So I went back down stairs to crawl into bed, and then decided that I needed to go.. but I was going to just lay in bed for 10 more minutes. Ya right! I swear it was like two seconds and I was asleep and didn't wake back up until 10:30.. It was weirdest feeling. Then once I realized that I feel asleep and SLEPT, I fell back asleep until noon. Obviously something is wrong. Six more days until end of the semester!!
Gonna go stuff my face with some tacos!! Mmmm!!
