sunday morning. sun is shining.

"Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this, knowing after all the unreturned phone calls, broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment, you never gave up hope."

I watched this movie today. He's Just Not That Into You. And I kind of loved this quote.

Today was conference. I was able to see the first part and I loved every minute of it.. I also had an interview for my endorsement for BYU and stuff. President Ballington (I'm not sure if that's spelled correctly or not) said some pretty inspiring things. Basically. He says that we all, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, should always keep the Honor Code. Regardless of whether we attend a church school or not. Which got me thinking. Do I present myself as being a follower of Christ with every thing I do in my life? Honestly. I don't think I do enough. Someone, during conference, said something that I liked. "Preach the gospel at all times. And if necessary, use words." So I challenged myself to always remember the Article of Faith number thirteen. For those of you who aren't really sure what that it is.. Here it is... 

"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul -- We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." 

P.s. I just got a new phone. It's a smart phone and it's the best ever. I didn't have my scriptures with me. So. I just grabbed my phone and looked it up. Since I now have the Bible and the Book of Mormon at the touch of a button. How awesome is that?
