"What? Is this a fashion show?" Why Women Really get Ready in the Morning

This morning on the way to church, I was walking behind some really pretty girls. They had dressed nice with good hair and nylons/tights of different colors and designs. Shoes, hair, make-up, skirts. A boy passed and said to his friend, "What? Is this a fashion show?"
All I have to say to that, boy, is," Why yes, yes it is." Ever wonder why exactly women get ready? Look quite so nice? It ain't for you boys! Its TOTALLY for each other! Life is a competition. Every aspect of it. It is nice to dress up for boys but it's so you will think WE look better than THAT other Girl. Basically, girls get ready, put on crap loads of make-up so other girls will look, notice, compliment, and LOSE. Mwahahaha!

Now you know one of the secrets of girlhood. Feel better boy on the sidewalk?

P.S. to Girls, guys don't care as much as you think. All that make-up you put on? He'd rather not see all the stuff on your eyes and lips. Natural is pretty too.

Oh! I see now! Haha, and that makes total sense, actually :) No wonder. Cami came over to visit Saturday night and put on a ton of make-up and I mean A TON. Yeah, she looked pretty but it hid what I like to call her natural :) She had lipstick to cover the earth and eye liner for the milky way but it hid her finer beauty. She even compared herself to Adalie!

Fear as a now third year medical student

It would not be a trial of our faith if our faith was not actually tried. Trials are essential, obviously, but how much of a trial can it really be if all the time we feel His guiding hand and Comforting presence? Can those really be considered trials? Today I am officially a third year medical student. Reflecting over the last two years, I want to take a moment to write down my thoughts. As a missionary, when the Spirit said I would be going to medical school it was a huge relief. I had struggled up to that point to really know what to do with my life. I knew I wanted a good career, a steady paycheck, a job that I loved. I knew I wanted to work outside the home, make a difference, help people. But I didn’t know exactly what that looked like for me until that moment in Virginia. And when I got home and got to work researching and then putting into action all that would be required to be accepted into a medical school in the US I had multiple moments of doubt. Heavy doubt. But I p...

getting to and through YEAR ONE

Hello? Oh, Hello there! I am excited to talk more about my summer as I enjoy the last few days before I dive into studying hard. It is almost the beginning of the second year of medical school. Last year was one of the hardest years of my life. I experienced more pain, suffering, doubt, tears, and heartache than I have ever before in such large doses. I staggered under the weight of my fears and found myself often on my knees with no where else to turn. It was a beautiful place to find myself. Of course it is easy to say that now, looking back as I stand proud. There was a lot that went into my decision to go to medical school. Ultimately it took a lot of prayer and a lot of planning. It took a lot of service hours, a lot of hard work in my undergrad, a lot of conversations with my mother. It was a grueling process which no one can understand until you've been through it. I often doubted I was making the right choice. As I was preparing for the MCAT, which is the entr...

I woke up this morning and after getting some breakfast I stepped out into the dim light of predawn and stood barefoot in the grass. I felt the dew on my feet and the soft cool morning air on my face and hands. I listened but the birds were still asleep. Taking a pair of scissors, I cut a bloom from the rose bush outside my back door. Life is messy. And sometimes unkind. It is confusing, painful and discouraging. But an amazing thing happens when we decide to take it just one day at a time. It is a lesson I have to learn over and over. Sort of like Charity or Humility or Optimism. I have decided to have faith over fear. To trust that although I can't know what will happen, that a perfect Being who loves me does. And trusting in that is more important to me than knowing. So while it is difficult, and some would say perhaps a cop out for dealing with life, I choose to trust that God cares enough about me to have my best interests at heart. And if He has decided to not share...
