One Direction infrection!

Sorry Beibs, you've been replaced:)

                                                    What makes you beautiful:

 One Thing:)

Why can't all men be studly, attractive and have accents?:)....I would like that, I would like that ALOT!:)

Oh Mandy,

So recently, certain young men... who shall remain nameless:)  have been pretty adamant that as Mandy is mentioned in fewer posts than Kaylie, on my lovely little blog, my love for my two dearest friends must be unequally weighted...to this I reply....PSH!!! Come on folks do you not KNOW Amanda Christine Estes? Obviously, my life would have little purpose with out her!.... Mandy my love, if you should  happen to see this just know that I love you! I love it when you leave a party at 6:00 to go home and make an apron! I love that your little brother is chair of the FSA, I love the time spent on your trampoline and the children we encounter there, I love the memories we made at EFY and the fact that we got so little sleep because of them. I even love when we watch period films for hours at a time! Kay and I don't do it because we like them....we do it because we like YOU!...like alot! So just remember that you are indeed loved! By me, and just about everyone else!:) see ya starshine:)

....you are larger than life indeed:)

Blank Stares at blank pages.

What's better than a general authority? ....A German general authority obviously! And when the GA in question is president Uchtdorf you can pretty much expect lovely! There's this darling little talk he gave that I am quite nearly obsessed with, the talk is, "happily ever after" I countinually find little flecks of gold that I have never encounterd even after the seventy billionth time of reading it! Today I read yet again the words,

"Your own wonderous story has already begun, your once upon a time is now!!"...

I was thinking about that. About just how much more I have to do and accomplish in this life, and about how many more beautiful and wonderous experiences I will have, and how many great people I will meet. I thought about the parts of my story that have already been written. They weren't all happy chapters but they were nessasary, because with out them, my ending would be different. And I would be a much different character!

Once, during a particularly nasty bit of life, Noah told me, "God has a plan for all of us and this is just a part of it."

Maybe, we all need to have faith, faith that God has written an even better story than we are writing for ourselves. And also faith to live that story out. When we do that, not only do we make our own lives a story worth telling, but we will also help lead others to their happy endings.

Sometimes.....

Sometimes, it's 11 and I can't sleep, and all I want to do is text Noah, but I know that if I do, we will end up in some ridiculously long hilarious conversation that neither of us will want to end, and we will be up until 3 a.m talking about pick up lines and bromances. And I will think it's wonderful, until 6:00 when I'm forced to wake up and drag myself to shool on less than three hours of sleep... This must be what it's like to work in a bubble wrap factory! " must not pop the bubbles, must not pop the bubbles" except for me, it's " must not text Noah... Must not text Noah!" :).... But if he were to text me first, that would be fine! That
would be fine indeed:)

sixteen candles:)

Yesterday, one of the darling little beehives in my ward said to me, " I'm so jealous of you! You get to go on dates, drive a car...go shopping, and you have a LOCKER!!!!...I can't wait to be sixteen!"

      well, I couldn't help but smile at this lovely sentiment because I totes remember being that little beehive, envying Angel and Noel every day of my life, because they went to this glamourous place called Lehi High School...and shopped for prom dresses and had cars! ...Now here I am, in those same shoes, and Miss Kyara, just btw, it happens a lot faster than you think! Rite now, on my last eve of my fifteenth year, all I can think of is how many amazing things will lie in store for me!:) here are sixteen things I hope to do in my sixteenth year!:

1. go on another date.
2. get my license
3. get a job
4. donate blood. 
5. join the big brothers, big sisters organization
6. learn to sew
7. get a car of sorts
8. Go to EFY
9. Be A YCL at girly camp
10. Finish the book of mormon...and beat the young men while Im at it:)
11. Hang out with Noah and Bryce as much as possible!
12. Make a snow man with Kay!
13. Do something wonderful for all of my friends' sweet sixteens

Things worth missing:):)

 You know those moments, when you feel like you need to be on a commercial for Kodak because everything is just going so incredibly perfect! Thats definatly what my life felt like last weekend! Saterday was kind of a big deal:), actually that statement was false; Saterday was DEFINATLY a HUGE deal! It was my very first experience  " hanging out with friends in even numbers." At the end of the night I was able to conclude two things! A) that you probably shouldn't hang out with boys at Lowes Extreme Air Sports unless you are EXTREMELY cooridnated! (Really, you probably have to be Mia Ham or Kaylie Bartholomew to not make a fool out of yourself.) but secondly, and much more importantly,  I realized that seeing EFY friends can make you really sad happy!  happy for obvious reasons, but sad because you know that you may go weeks...or even months without seeing them again!!! and the whole EFY morning process begins again! When you miss something THIS much, so long after it has happened, consider yourself one of the luckiest people on planet earth, because you know for a fact that you  have had some really wonderful things in life!

Don't cry because its over-- smile because it happend!:) thanks for an amazing night Noah and Bryce:)

All the colors are SOOOO beautiful....:)

Ok, I know this video is unbelievably long, but it's soooo worth watching:)
