Savor the Mooments.

I know this isn't coming right in the heat of the feminism storm that caught the attention of so many this past summer, but I feel like it's still an important issue to address. First I must say, I am not shy about my views or opinions. When asked about women's right's issues in today's world I confidently stand my ground. Women deserve equal pay, they deserve a voice, they deserve opportunities to grow and live and love. Feminism is designed to create equality. I am not below men, nor am I above them. I have been asked several times to share my opinion on the Ordain Women movement. To me, it's an interesting topic because I've been asking that very question my whole life. Why can't I hold the Priesthood? What is so wrong with my desire to serve the Lord through the Priesthood? I can remember passionately arguing with my mother when I was twelve years old; I just did not understand why women couldn't do the same things that men could in our chur...

As my undergraduate schooling has ended, I have been quite sentimental about the time I spent at BYUI and the places this school has taken me. So I decided to write up a list of my favorite memories during college. They aren't in any particular order, just which one I thought of first. And I tried to contain it to 10, or even 15… but that just did not happen. Happy reading :) 1. That one time Kameron Kavanaugh caught me and David Contreras gettin some in a practice room.

The special occasion when Heidi Jane Spjute Powell and I had a full on conversation in our own made up language... also in a practice room. 3. When Danielle Windham and I duct taped Bailee Super to a lamp post. No regrets. 4. Spending two weeks in the beautiful country of Ghana, Africa, singing my little heart out with the BYUI collegiate singers. Specifically, the moment I stepped onto te...

There a lot of things that go on in the big wide world of Walmart. I am proud to say that I am a new Wal-Mart cashier (#whatever #whathasmylifecometo #whyamihashtagging). It's a fun time. I've only been working there for a few months and I have already come to the conclusion that the world hates cashiers. PEOPLE, I am a person. An American person. I like to do all the same things you do. So I've come up with 10 things the world can do to make my life happier. Not easier, just happier. #10 Separate your crap from other people's crap. And don't get mad at me when I scan something that isn't yours. When clearly, there was no way to tell. Because guess what? I can take that shiz off your ticket and you won't even have to pay for it. Imagine that. Wal-Mart is smarter than you think. #9 Put your cart where it belongs. I don't care what your excuse is, it's 20 feet away, just do it. If you have traumatic experiences of seriously breaking your legs ...
