Peace Out Colorado!

Guess who's going on a road trip?! Yeah, me:) Leaving tomorrow with mi madre and heading to the good ole state of Utah to go see family and go to a wedding! It was a spur of the moment wedding so I wasn't sure if I'd actually be going to it haha! But I'm excited to get out of town for a few days and see family and eat some delicious food. Plus, it's going to be just me and my mom so we can do whatever the heck we want when we want! Can you spell shopping?

So if you're wondering where I disappeared to, that's where! So you in a bit! :) Happy Early 4th of July. I love this country and I'm so proud of all the men and women who fought and continually fight to keep us free. I know that there's no way that we would be this country without the help of God inspiring great people. I remember this movie I saw about stories of George Washington and others about times God spared them and inspired them. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Interesting fact: Did you know that test scores and proficiency started going down and have never caught back up to the level of schools the year after prayers were banned in school?

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though. I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back. How was dress shopping for you? I like the lace and buttons on this dress Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...
