Living Life Under 5 Foot

Life is so much more than merely enduring it. It's all the components of enjoying, of love, of interest, and value. To keep it simple. Create the desire. Take the time. Put the effort in and you will accomplish whatever you deem success to be.

I received the BEST compliment today! Someone came and I smiled and said hello, and they said. "Oh you must be mormon!!" AWE SHUCKS!!! I have been working hard for so long on my testimony, and for the time of my life I was unsure, it sure makes up for it when someone can tell just by looking at me. The man went on to explain how I had this glimmer in my eye and was always happy. Therefore, he concluded, I must be a mormon. I believe I enjoy this. It was just a grand day let me tell you. Things just went well. I helped my good friend plan how he was going to ask his girl to marry him. I had fun! I've also refreshed my love for the 50's and found this ADORABLE dress.. just saying! Well, that's all for now folks! How pretty is this?

This week has been full of it all for me!  - A date or two -Bought a waffle maker -Cleaned my room -Worked -FINALLY BOUGHT A CAMERA!! School is going great, have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE English! Getting back into the grove of professional writing has been a little difficult for me, but it's coming along. My first assignment is a profile essay. I was thinking one night, " What can I do this on it?" I sat, wearing my vintage 1950's pants.. when it dawned on me.... "I should do it on the 1950's!!!!!" and thus it has begun. I've been calling, everyone I know, and even meeting new people who were alive in those times. This essay is coming, and will be posted when I'm finished!  I want this!
