Hooray to the end of a long week and to the beginning of what's bound to be a great one. Two days ago while buying my weekly treat at the always divine Sweet Tooth Fairy, I read a quote painted on the wall and fell in love! The quote read "You are what you eat, so eat something SWEET!” Just another way for me to justify my addiction to all things sweet. You better believe those words will be painted on my kitchen walls when I have a home of my own!

On a more serious note, I came across a rather "extraordinary" video clip today that I would like to share. It stresses the importance of women and the Relief Society to the churches success. It lifted my spirits and I hope it does the same to yours! Check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqfCXBsXGfQ&feature=player_embedded

Well spring break has now come to an end, and I must say, it has been a success! It has been a fun filled week spent with family and friends. The best part of my break (by a long shot!) was attending my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary.We spent the night recreating my wonderful grandparents wedding reception, cake and all! Dinner was served alongside a beautiful program at the exquisite Lion House. The night was full of smiles, laughter and a few tears due to the overwhelming feeling of love. My cheeks hurt from too much smiling after my dad and his siblings shared their favorite memories of their parents (my poor grandparents had to raise some wild ones!). I am so blessed to have such wonderful examples of true and eternal love in my life. After 50 years my grandparents are in love as much as ever. I will be forever grateful for the decision they made to marry in the temple, make and keep those sacred covenants with their Heavenly Father and raise children in the gospel. They have truly blessed my life and continue to every day. What I have learned from this weekend is to always live in a way to be worthy of a temple marriage that will last forever! It will always be worth a wait.

I am sure many of you have heard about the growing Kony movement.  Today I just want to add my support of this movement to the many others.  If you haven't already, please take some time today to watch the Kony 2012 film at this link http://vimeo.com/37119711 .  Nothing is more powerful than an idea. Support this movement by becoming aware, donating, sharing information or painting the town!  Lets make Kony famous and stop this monster!

Often times I find myself needing a quick pick me up to lift my spirits during a busy week. When I find myself in this situation I usually go for 1. a CUPCAKE (well let’s face it, any type of dessert) or 2. Quotes. For my cupcake needs I turn to Sweet Tooth Fairy. If you've never been I advise you go a.s.a.p.! They make the best cupcakes in all of Utah (In my opinion.  And trust me I have tried A LOT of different cupcakes.) as well as delicious cake bites. As for my quote needs, I of course turn to the website Pinterest, where I have recently found some rather wonderful quotes. Therefore, I decided to take another post to share a few with you all. I hope you enjoy!!

Have a wonderful week!
