Yesterday marked 6 months since my wonderful sweet grandma leaving this earth. I am sad. But I know I have much reason to be sad. One of the most elect lady's has left us and returned to our father in heaven. She is happy and I know wants me to be too, even though it is really hard. I know she is right now doing something that brought her much joy in her life. Sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know she is helping others to learn of this wonderful church. She is being very patient and loving while she does this too I know. It is amazing to imagine. I will try to do my best to also share the gospel with others, so that they can feel the joy and peace that I have!
My Grandma was a LOT of fun. She was always telling us stories, or making us laugh. She loved to laugh! She taught me how to make her amazing brownies, and always showed us what she was sewing. A lot of the things she made for us! She was the queen of games and loved a good game of phase 10 or scrabble. She would always sing some pretty funny songs to me and she always encouraged me and was there to talk to me.
I Miss her a LOT. But I know she's busy somewhere on the other side smiling.... and when she smiles YOU smile. I know she would not want me posting about how sad I was here but instead finding something else to be happy about. So here are some things that I am happy about that have been going on in my life or have made me smile.
I am happy about completing our Classical acting play "Two gentleman of Verona". It was so much fun to do but the joy definitely comes in the completing of it! My mom was the director and she did an amazing job. She spent more than 12 plus hours a day for a few weeks on this play!
Evan, My mom and Me
Here is just one of me..... Don't you love that creepy hand in the background... Megan. :)
I was happy that I got to spend Natalie's birthday evening with her. It was on the night of the play. Here she is opening the gifts I got her. I got her a bunch of our "Favorite things" we like to eat or do. And just some random stuff too, but she liked it. Sorry the picture is blurry.
This picture So makes me smile!!
I am really happy because I now have a garden!!! For one of my classes we have to plant a Garden and I finally did it. It is a hanging garden made from shoe organizer. Sounds weird yes, but I think it it pretty cool! I am growing, 3 kinds of flowers, carrots, rosemary, cilantro, green onions, lettuce, and spinach.
I also planted this pretty flower that has an AMAZING fragrance!
And.... A raspberry bush! We havn't planted it yet, but it's outside and it does look better than it does in the picture. (That's a picture from when I first bought it.)
I am happy because on Sunday we are leaving for a little vacation! My dad has work in Arizona and we are staying at a really nice hotel! This is just ONE of the pictures (I found on there website) of the pools where we are staying. They have a lazy river too! I can't wait to go get in that pool....

But I'm smiling even more because some of my favorite people are coming and meeting up with us in Arizona!! Susan, Dave, Josh and Holly! Were excited!

In one of my classes for school we were challenged to read the Book of Mormon in 30 days.
On Thursday I was able to go to my schools "Youth Conference". It was heald at a large park (You can even camp there) and it was an all "Outdoors day. It was amazing to be in nature on such a beautiful day!
