Things I Love Tuesday: Spencer--Pyper, Education, Dance, Friends, Facebook Stickers, Temples

Spencer is my first little sister. She is a senior in college and is way cooler than me. She's smart, funny, confident, and really good looking. We got to be in Rexburg for a few years together and that was awesome. She loves on my little Maelie hard and that makes me happy.

1. Pyper is my one and only little sister and she exceeds all expectations just like she does with everything else. She is talented, smart, beautiful and funny. She has the whole package. She is someone who I love to spend time with and love to go support through her diverse endeavors like dance team, volleyball and orchestra. Here is a video of her singing Les Mis to me on a family vacation. Enjoy!

2. Education is something I always took for granted. Through High School I never enjoyed going to school and wasn't too excited about college... Well now that I am much older and wiser I have realized how big of a blessing it is to have the opportunity to gain an education. There are so many people in the world that would love to gain an education that don't have the means to. Not only am I grateful for my education, but for BYU-I itself. It is truly an amazing place that has taught me so much about myself, life and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

3. Dance. Dance is my life and has been since I was about 3 or 4ish. Through dance I have learned many life skills from personal responsibility and respect, to taking care of my body. I am a dance major at BYU-I and I can't imagine going a day without it. My teachers here on campus play a huge roll in the gratitude I have developed for it and I am grateful for them as well.

4 My friends!! I think these pictures sum it all up! These girls are literally the most amazing friends I have ever had. We share the same passions and goals in life.They are friends who are honest even when its hard, but I trust them because of it. There is never a dull moment with them. They keep me in line while reminding me it is O.K. to let loose sometimes. Love them dearly!

5. Facebook stickers. I'm not sure how many of you know what these are, but for me they are little surprises of happiness. On Facebook messenger there are cute little stickers you can send to people. they aren't the normal emoticons these are special. There are so many different stickers, one for every occasion. My friends and I can have a whole conversation using just those stickers. Getting those stickers makes me happy and some encourage me to!

5. Last, but not least, I love the Temple. The Temple is truly a piece of heaven on Earth. I love the comfort and peace I feel when on its grounds or in it. There is a special Spirit that I can feel every time I go. It is the house of the Lord. It is a gift given to us to use to make covenants with Heavenly Father so that we can make our way back to Him. It is a safe house for me when I need to get away from the world.
