i love fridays

yesterday was a great day! to start off with, my one and only class was cancelled, so that was pretty nice. i went to the temple with my good friend tori howell. i love this girl! she is one of the sweetest people i know, always doing the nice thing. and it doesn't hurt that she loves prison break and friends just as much as i do! this picture is from last semester, because we forgot to take one at the temple. 

so, anyways, we went to the temple. it was so great! we made it a goal to go every friday morning now. it is just so pretty there! and it just makes you reevaluate your life  plans/goals. what do i really want in life? what am i currently doing to achieve those goals? it just made things stay in perspective.

and then after the temple we went to ramirez for breakfast burritos. it was delicious! 

then i did homework for a few hours and got some very important assignments done. so that was a good feeling. later that night, i went to a dance party in the hemming village basement with my friend hannah from my sped class. it was so much fun! it was really hot though, that was kind of gross. overall it was a great day(:

THINGS TO BE HAPPY ABOUT:

• exercise. tis good for the body
• people noticing you have lost weight from said exercise'
• awesome FHE brothers who randomly stop by
• FRIENDS~ makes me laugh every time i watch an episode
•  blue raspberry frooties~ they are so delicious 

I need a hero

So last night I went to see the new version of Footloose with my good friend Tori.I loved it so much!!!  I love this song that goes with it

Some of my favorite part of the lyrics:

Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn
And dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
Isn't there a Superman
To sweep me off my feet?

Through the wind and then the chill and the rain
And the storm and the raging flood
Oh, his approaches like a fire in my blood

I'll meet a hero
And then we'll dance till the morning light
Dreaming, he will lead me
Held tight, tonight's the night

So, I loved the whole thing but one of my favorite parts was when Ren McCormack saw Ariel Moore in her dress, he just stopped and stared for a minute because he was in awe. I know this is just me being super sappy, but I just loved it;) Watch the movie sometime, you will not be disappointed

BEAUTY REDEFINED.

So I found this website/blog that I absolutely and then I found this amazing song that just love. 

Take back what we let fade away
Voice of tomorrow, not product of yesterday
And once you feel it, you will never be the same

All that we can do is strut, now make it loud
Toss passion to the proud whose views are simply misaligned
Ask the brave: “Step forward help to straighten
all that’s been misshapen, torn and barely left alive”

We need beauty redefined

You’re captivating, don’t be captive to the lies
That just erasing is a picturesque disguise
I dare you look up and try to mold the skies

All that we can do is strut, now make it loud
Toss passion to the proud whose views are simply misaligned
Ask the brave: “step forward help to straighten
All that’s been misshapen, torn and barely left alive”

We need beauty redefined

Make up your mind and not your face
We all know it is a happier chase
And in the end you’ll finish out the race

All that we can do is strut, now make it loud
Toss passion to the proud whose views are simply misaligned
Ask the brave: “Step forward help to straighten
All that’s been misshapen, torn and barely left alive”

All that we can do is strut, now make it loud
Toss passion to the proud whose views are simply misaligned
Ask the brave: “Step forward help to straighten
All that’s been misshapen, torn and barely left alive”

We need beauty redefined

In my Philosophies of Education class we discussed social reconstruction and that has to do with bettering society and the world. Remember what you are here on this earth for- to help change the earth!  

Rain. Rain. Rain

My body feels so great! It has been a while since I really worked my body. I saw the rain outside and my leg muscles were just itching to go for a run so.... I did! It felt so great. There was well, a lot of rain as you can see. I ran a couple miles and my lungs and legs felt it. I love it!

So you cannot see it really well, but the dark part of my legs were bright red in real life! My legs got pretty cold on my run, but it felt fantastic(:

Things to be happy about [:

• Different Seasons
• People noticing you smell nice
• Board Games. Simple way to entertain you
• Gilmore Girls
• I MIGHT get to nanny in D.C- we will see what pans out!
• Prayer- remember you are never alone!
• Changing colors of fall

Apology to my Body

So, I like to read Nat-the-Fat-Rat  (Mormon Housewife) and she had this old entry that I really liked. It links to this one as well. All about loving your body, and apologizing for mistreating it. My turn!

Dear Body:

• Natural Brown Hair: I am sorry for hating you and feeling so plain next to blondies.
• Ears: I am sorry for the profanity you listen to at work and never say anything
• Mouth: I am sorry for not always flossing my teeth or using mouth wash at night
• Knees: I am so sorry for all the pain I put you through in high school! I have since decided it was not worth it
• I am sorry for not always giving you sufficient sleep at night
• Brain: I am sorry for all the negative thoughts I keep stored in my brain. What a waste of space!
• Feet: I am sorry for hating how wide you are. You are stable and you help me get to where I need to be. 
• I am sorry for sometimes intentionally scraping you or cutting you. You don't deserve it! 
• Tummy: You actually are fairly proportionate for your body. I am sorry for being upset with you. I will go to the gym more and so you can feel the burn!

Love, Molly

SNOW

So this is a little late because my computer wasn't cooperating the day it actually snowed. But I did take this from my window. I am actually kind of excited for winter. I love wearing scarves and hats and my pea coats. I love the look of perfect, unbroken snow. Snow angels, snow pranks, hot chocolate, spiced cider, and Christmas is on the way!

New Philosophy of Life

So I stole this from my cousin, but I really like it :D

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regret. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for reason.  If you get a chance, take it.  IF it changes your life, let it!"

I think a lot of the "life is too short quotes are pretty cheesy but the rest of it I love! If you have someone toxic in your life who makes you feel not-so-good about yourself, just don't put yourself in that position! And make sure you are treating people right who care about you. You don't want to take them for granted... Remember that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! Even the cruddy nights. They are there for a purpose. So don't stress too much. You can get over it.

Random Side Tangent~

Tonight I have been listening to all sorts of country as I did my homework. The one that was my favorite is a toss up between "dirt road anthem" by Jason Aldean. I am just feeling my roots come out . I think its because this past weekend we drove through Ashton Idaho and that is country! I just love the feel of the country.It is peaceful and tranquil and you can really think. I miss this place! I don't want to live there when I am older, but it is good to reminisce(: 

Girls Weekend

This weekend my roommates and I went on a road trip!Friday night we spent the night out at Kara and Mallory's family's beautiful cabin out in Ashton Idaho. It was so much fun. There cabin was so peaceful! It was not crowded with people like Rexburg, so it was a nice change.

 What is a girls night without junk food? We stopped at the gas station close to the cabin to buy drinks and to rent THOR. I bought a 54 oz soda and finished  almost all of it. YUM. While we were at the gas station, Michelle spilled her soda on her white shirt, and so Elicia used Mallory's brand new tide-to-go stain remover to get it out. It was pretty funny to watch. 

We spent the night first watching THOR- I know this is shallow, but he is a beautiful man. We then watched a couple of episodes of Season 3 of Gilmore Girls. (Rory is starting to like Jess and she will break up with Dean soon! )Every 25 minutes or so Elicia would get up and swat the TV in an effort to stop the flies from flying on the TV. She was apparently rather successful...

Saturday morning we woke up and watched Gilmore Girls some more as we ate biscuits and gravy! It was so yummy and filling. Then we loaded up the car and drove to Yellowstone! On the way we rocked out to Owl City and Glee. When we got there, we crammed 6 of us into a 5 person car. Kara got in first. (We of course concealed her before we drove past the gate)

We drove for several hours and the animals were pretty scarce. But eventually, we saw some pretty cool animals! We also saw many rivers and waterfalls! 

                                          

Overall it was a great day! We then wandered around the shops and then I started feeling sick so I went back to the hotel while the rest of the girls shopped. Then we watched Fried Green Tomatoes which did not help with my hormones already out of whack! Then we watched Storm Chasers (they chase tornadoes) for a couple of hours, which was like running a rerun over and over again. But in a good way(: 

It was a great weekend to spend with the roommates!
