This place I like to call Heaven on Earth is in the near future:

La Jolla, California.

3 weeks away.

can't wait for the food, the smells, the sunburns, the sand,

the waves, the morning beach runs, and the family.

:)

Do you get cracked heels often? Do you have a hard time getting rid of them?

Do you have to sleep with socks on every night to semi-heal them?

Well, I have all the same problems.

until this past week....

My mom brought me up this stuff....

and it works!

I'm not joking, my heels are SO much better.

I hate when people recommend stuff because I feel like it never works.

but this honestly does. I wouldn't lead you wrong.

I recommend it to everyone and anyone.

those are my tid-bits for the day.

go get Heel Tastic (what a cheesy name).

It won't disappoint.

also, why is 70's music so good.

seriously we have:

stevie wonder-elton john-ACDC-chicago-bob marley-minnie riperton-

bee gees-barry white-aretha franklin-earth, wind, and fire, gloria gaynor

where are the classic artists like those these days?

& please, don't tell me katy perry, justin bieber,or miley cyrus are classic artists.

i won't (can't) accept it.

anywho, if you're looking for a good song from the 70's,

check out: "Lovin You" by minne riperton.

anyone in need of relationship advice? read ALL of this.

A person who I love and has ALWAYS been a person I have looked up to and will continue to do so forever shared some advice with me that I'd like to share:

"Well everyone has a different love story. Lots of people like to write their own love story before it ever happens. Then when they are in the real love story and it doesn't match up with what they already wrote it becomes a source of frustration or a stumbling block. Don't put yourself in a box. Keep doing the right thing with the main goal to get married in the temple. It will happen, and when it does it will feel right and you won't have to worry about how fast, etc."

we continued to talk and this came up:

"From the moment you meet someone involve the Lord. Tell him what you plan on doing and that you want to make sure it’s His will. Then do all you can and give all you can to that relationship the whole time trusting the Lord. As the relationship blossoms continue to do all you can to help it grow and include the Lord in the process. Pray for guidance, help, and strength. The time will then come to find if this is the "right one". If you've included the Lord the whole time it will be evident what needs to be done. If the relationship ends even though you don't want it to, but that what the Lord says, then you can have the assurance that it is His will and all will be right. If it is right, then the Lord will help you know for sure because you've involved Him the whole time. You can't go wrong including the Lord in dating relationships. It is a must in order to find the "right one".

Don't be afraid to get into a relationship out of fear that it may not work out or fear of getting hurt. It may not work out and it will hurt like you've never known, but if the Lord is included you will have that assurance and knowledge that things will be alright. Trust the Lord, don't hold back out of fear in a relationship. Do all you can to be the best in that relationship trusting the Lord will lead the way. He will. He won't let you down. He wants to be involved, so let Him be. That's the only way to find the "right one". Involve the Lord from the beginning and give all you can to that relationship having no fear. You can't lose this way. It may hurt, but peace is the most important thing to feel. Trust in the Lord and He will not fail you. Have faith, do good, and the Lord will lead the way."

is this not perfect?

I will be forever grateful to him for this advice.

thank you.

I came across this and love it. It's a tad bit long, but insightful. have a read.

I'm officially a Provo resident.

So far, so good.

Not gonna lie, it's different than I'm used to.

But different doesn't mean bad.

I just wish I had things to do, that's my only complaint.

I'm looking for jobs, lots of them.

But as of now, I'm unemployed.

(if anyone knows of anything in provo...)

School begins a week from Monday.

Is it weird I'm actually excited for school to start?

Today was great though.

I woke up and went on a hike with the relief society.

There are definitely some girls that I could click with.

Then my roommate Jamie and I went to the temple.

It's been nice, now I just ate dinner and making plans for the evening.

Hope everyones weekend was good!

how beautiful is our world??

my little brother, leaves for Ecuador tomorrow morning!

Am I really letting him travel South America without me???

yup, i am. he has his 5 watches and 4 pairs of shoes to keep him company though.

This is truly a start to a great summer for him.

Tempe Sister Cities is honestly the best program out there.

$25 donation and a whole SUMMER filled with activity.

nothing can beat it.

Well, Robs. Have fun!

I know you will.
