Holiday Cheer forever.

Okay.... Sooooo this week has just literally rocked.

Monday was back to normal with productive Mondays!

You may remember last year, my first semester at College, I would accomplish...EVERYTHING. 

It helped so much, cause I would be starting my week off with a bang.

So I brought it back.

And yesterday was awesome.

Laundry.

Broadcasting video.

Apartment cleaned.(It was in bad shape after the boys re decorated...)

Room was clean.

Blankets washed.

And like old times, I even squeezed in a nappy poo.

I caught up on my missionary letters.

It was all checked off.

So it got to the night, and my sick roommate went to bed.

My studying roommate...studied her heart out.

And my artist roommate painted.

So I decided it was some time to spend with me, and the one and only Father from above.

My creator.

I got my hot cocoa in my green mug, sat down and read some scriptures, I read some old General Conference talks, and watched a lot of the new Mormon Messages. 

So obviously...all of this got me thinking.

I practically worship the holiday times.

I love the cheer that is in everyone, for the heck of it.

It's the most beautiful time of the year...

It's awesome, by far my favorite.

So I was just really hoping for the time to come quicker...

I wanted it so bad, I had all of my favorite winter foods.

Soup and Hot Chocolate.

And then what does it do today? IT SNOWS.

Here are my total and complete thoughts with the snow.

It is the best gift someone could ever give me.

Every time it snows, something great and unexpected happens.

There has been ONE moment in my life where I wanted to curse the snow...and it was because I had to take my drivers test. 

{{The snow is magical}}

 So my prayers were answered. The snow coming was God's way of saying...the holiday spirit can always be here...you just need to make it that way.

It was God's gift [Tender Mercy] to me for the day. 

And for that I am grateful.

It was just what I needed after a week like last week...the never ending week.

It was just the turn I needed on my road to success. 

So this week has been incredible.

And it is only Tuesday.

The season is just around the river bend.

Yeah, and I broke my own rules and started playing Christmas music...sue me. 

Okay ALSO, 

It's Kathryn M. Craig's birthday! Show your respect, let her know your love. Tell her Happy Birthday.

I love my mommy. I was the luckiest person in the world because not only was I sent to this family, I was sent to be her last and favorite daughter. I have been able to grow up with her, basically alone. No siblings distracting attention away from either one of us. We were always one anothers pal. Luckily, my mom and I are crazy in sync. I have taken on her insane shopping habits, her crazy musical talent, her hilarious jokes, her beautiful looks. Yes. That is my mom. I am her mini me.

I love my mommy, and I have loved spending these last 19 years with her, I so look forward to seeing her again in November.It has been truly hard on me here at college with out her here. I feel like most people say that college is great with no parents. But me? I am having a rough time cutting the umbilical cord. I have serious separation issues that I never thought I would have. For those that know me they know I love the show Gilmore Girls. It is a show about a "mother-daughter" relationship.I find my self and my mommy to be like Rory and Lorelai in the sense that we are {best friends} first...and mother-daughter second. Back at home, I found myself choosing her over friends. She was always there, sure we fought and had some bad moments, but I knew my mom would always be there for me.She always listened to me.She always cheered me up.She always pushed me to accomplish something.She was always mine.

Happy birthday Mom, you are nothing shy of awesomeness.I love you.

I am so incredibly grateful for my mother.

I know I literally wouldn't be where I am today without her.

She makes me laugh. 

She is my literal best friend for life! Nope...for eternity :)

SEE?? We are just alike.

Holiday cheer forever, anyone?

My happy note, {{According to me}}
