The Lord's Prayer

If you have never listened to Andrea Bocelli sing the Lord's Prayer with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, you should! Everything about this song is beautiful!

"Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence"

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland gave an awesome devotional at BYU in 1999 with the title "Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence."

I was listening to it Sunday morning and have listened to it numerous times and I just love it and highly recommend it to anyone who is about to make a big decision in life or will sometime in the future (so everyone.)

It's about 35 minutes long but it's worth every minute. Or here's a link to the written version (although I think listening to it is better.)  https://www.lds.org/ensign/2000/03/cast-not-away-therefore-your-confidence?lang=eng

Halloween Costume Pictures

Beware lots of pictures of me...

Hey peeps, I am up way too late and am exhausted, but I wanted to show off my Halloween costume. I got to wear it two days in a row and I was pretty excited about that! We had our work Halloween party on Thursday and then I went to a YSA Halloween dance on Friday night.

This is the way I wore it to work on Thursday. I made the skirt and I am really pleased with the way it turned out! Well I am happy with the whole outfit. :)

 This is me Halloween night before the dance.

 We have a life size cardboard cutout of Taylor Lautner at our house. We like to pull him out at Halloween and other such fun times. We put him outside the front door for the trick-or-treaters to enjoy and they loved him. Some took pictures with him and wanted to know where we got him. :)

The stockings I found to go with my awesome costume! They were originally socks but I cut off the feet so that the spiderwebs would be on the front. Happy Halloween! (And Happy November.)

Our roommate picture (minus Melinda as she was not home at the time.)

Sandi as a pirate, Kara as Eponine, Taylor as himself (yes he is our 5th roommate:), and me as a witch.
