Pet peeves


I was tagged to write a list of my pet peeves. Kind of silly, but here I go.

  • When people stick out their tongue while they laugh
  • Creepy guys that give creepy stares
  • Pleather
  • When a potential 5 minute phone conversation turns into an all day text messaging fest
  • When people swear in attempt to make themselves look good
  • Not pushing the "clear/cancel" button on the microwave when there is time left over
  • Mysterious marshmallow desserts
  • Celebrities talking about politics
  • Back hair
  • Bathroom stalls with a mirror positioned so you can stare at yourself while on the toilet
  • Muffin tops
  • Earwax
  • WhEn pEOpLe TyPe LiKe tHiS
  • Unibrows
  • When the person before you has peed on the toilet seat without wiping it off
  • People who get into a 15 items or less grocery line with a fully loaded cart
  • Velour sweat pants
  • Grocery carts with one dysfunctional wheel

    I ♥ General Conference!



    Sadly, I missed the majority of conference. I had to work Saturday. Sunday I was sick, so I was in and out of sleeping through the talks. But what I did listen to from the prophets really touched me. I can feel the Spirit so strongly when they speak. It is such a great feeling to know that they love us and are serving the Lord in our behalf. I know that Heavenly Father inspires the prophets to guide us through their words. I can feel it. Their messages are so powerful and reinforce the Savior's love for me.

    The simplicity of God's plan amazes me. I know what I am required to do in order to gain eternal life. It is so important to have faith in God and accept His will. I am grateful I am not told to blindly believe in anything, rather to pray and ask for a personal knowledge of God's teachings. I am also very grateful to have had the Spirit reveal to me that what I have studied in the scriptures and learned from the prophets is true. I know that ultimately, faith and charity will lead me to eternal happiness. That knowledge is what gives me hope and compels me to repent and become closer to Jesus Christ.
