Pretty Much...

True...true, very true. 

Love this.  Be happy.

It is so much easier.

 I love chocolate.  Alot. 

I love this.

I will do this when I am a Mom.

So perfect. 

This is a great idea.

 Love it. 



Yep.  Pretty much. 

I have learned this the

hard way many-a-times.

I am a little over it :)

Happy Pinning and

happy voting day if you live

in Arizona!

2nd Annuuallll....

I am hosting our 2nd Annual Lymphoma Run

on April 14th, 2012.  That is a Saturday at 7am

on the dot!  I am sooo excited.

I went down to the state capitol Friday and got 

my trade name so I can set up a bank

account under "Bekah's Run For Life".

I now need to finish up with the IRS so donations 

can be tax deductible.

I have been in touch with the event coordinator for the

Lymphoma and Leukemia Society's location here in Phoenix.

They help out 3rd party events.

I already have 10 sponsors who are donating to 

the cause and that will help with the cost of things like:

food, beverages, prizes, shirts, ect...and

the remainder will go to the full

donation fund. 

Bet you didn't know the state makes you

jump through a bunch of hoops to 

form a charity organization did ya?

I am so happy.  So...spread the news.

It is $10 to register and you get a shirt.

It is 4.5 miles.  Not bad at all.

And the top 3 finishers will be getting

awesome prizes and there will be an amazing

raffle.  Also...light entertainment.

So happy!!!!  

Come and get a good workout, eat, donate, 

and take part in something that

really means a lot to me!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

My Powder Puff Football team

 won the Las Vegas tournament. 

I know...we were shocked too.  

I guess we are better than we realized.

We have some pretty athletic girls.  

There is this one girl named Janene.

She is amazing.  

We played 5 games.  There were 8 teams.

We lost the first to a safety which is so lame.

We won the next 4 games and only let one touchdown past us.

It was so cold and so windy but we had a lot of fun.

This is us with Tommie.  I have more pictures

with Tommie and these girls than

anyone else in my life I swear.  We love
 him and he has done such an amazing job
coaching us.

Goooooo Golddiggers!!

I vote we change our names to "The Pumas" next year.  Can you

imagine how awesome our uniforms would be?

Ps...

Vegas is a dirty, dirty place.

Don't look down while you are walking
out on the strip.  Just sayin...

Randomness...

We went to Rocky Point over the weekend 

cause it was Carly's boyfriend Jared's birthday.

(That was a mouthful)

He happens to be cousins with Tatum, and I went to

Mesa High with both her and her husband Chase.

I brought my friend Mark.  

I really like them together.  It gives me hope again. 

This my friends...is the life.

Also...my most recent favorite quotes form Pinterest...

The above one is very true...

And remember when I showed you my wedding dress.

Well I was sadly mistaken.  The below picture is actually my dress.

I think it is kinda weird that I am not even really dating

anyone but I have this thing about wedding dresses.

Call it what you may...but the dress is amazing.

Too bad I am not currently engaged...

I know...it is amazing. 

Movie

This movie looks so cute!  

And it is based on true events...which makes

it even better.

Valentine's Day.  Better find a date. 

A New Adventure...

Yep.  It is true.  I am moving here for the summer.

It is something I have been tossing around in my mind

for awhile and so finally I just decided I should do it.  

I feel like I am suffocating a bit here in Mesa.  I 

need a change of scenery and direction.

I almost moved here when I graduated to do an 

internship with the International Dyslexia Foundation.

But then I told them I couldn't do it when I received a strong

prompting to move home.  

So...I have decided to re-live this dream and move there.

Since I am on salary, it will pay for my expenses and then I 

hope to transfer to an Old Navy or Banana Republic 

just to work and have extra money.  And I need to 

study for the GRE.  I took it in October and got a 900

and I need a 1000 to get into ASU.  I didn't

do as well on the written essay portion (4.5 out of 6) 

and I was sad since writing is usually my strong point. 

But I will site see, and meet new people and be

in a new ward.  I am so happy!

I have a few friends who live out there

or who have lived out there who 

are really helping me find the right place for me to

live.  I am so happy.  I am usually a very careful, planned out person

so to do this so spontaneously is such an awesome feeling!

A Must Read

The Rock

There is a story by a Father Mary about a man who was asleep one night in the cabin, when suddenly his room filled with light and the Savior appeared.  The Lord told him he had a work for him to do, and showed him a large rock explaining that he was to push against that rock with all his might.

This the man did, and for many days he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulder set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the rock pushing with all his might.  Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spend in vain.

Seeing that the man was showing sings of disappointment, Satan decided to enter the picture, placing thoughts in the man's mind such as, "Why kill yourself over this; you're never going to move it," or "boy, you've been at it a long time and you haven't even scratched the surface." ect giving the man the impressions because he wasn't moving the massive stone.  These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man and he started to ease up his efforts.  "why kill myself" he thought, "I'll just put in my time putting forth just the minimum and that will be good enough," and that he did, or at least planned on doing until one day he decided to take his troubles to the Lord.  "Lord," he asked "I have labored long and hard in your service, putting forth all my strength to do that which you have asked me, yet after all this time I haven't even budged that rock half a millimeter.  What is wrong?  Why am I failing?"

To this the Lord responded compassionately, "My friend...when long ago I asked you to serve me and you accepted, I told you to push against the rock with all your strength, and that you have done.  But never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it!  At least not all by yourself.  Your task was to push!  And now you come to me, your strength spent, thinking that you had failed and ready to quit.  But is that really so?  Look at yourself, your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewed and brown.  Your hands are callused from constant pressure, and your legs have become massive and hard.  Through opposition, you have grown much and your ability now far surpasses that which you used to have, yet you still haven't succeeded in moving the rock, and you come to me now with a heavy heart and your strength spent.  I, my friend, will move the rock.  Your calling was to be obedient and push, and to exercise your faith and trust in my wisdom."

This story sums up my life :)  We all just need to be a little more obedient and patient with the Lord and place ALL OUR FAITH IN HIM.

Now say a prayer, read your scriptures and the go eat a bowl of ice cream and watch Biggest Loser!!!!
