Dear Mother Nature,

Thanks for the snow! Oh wait, it's February.  I would appreciate it if you got your seasons right.  This snow is past the due date and we will no longer be accepting it anymore, so please don't send it our way.  Next year, do mind sending it at the right time. Thanks a bunch!


                                         Love,
                                             Paige

P.S.  There better not be snow on my 16th birthday, or you are FIRED!!!

Talking.....Good or Bad?

Both.  Talking when you want to is definitely a good thing, but talking because a member of the bishopric calls ands asks you to talk in sacrament meeting is bad.  I am not a good public speaker, and get those little butterflies in my stomach every time that I have to.   However, prayer helps, a lot.  As I was sitting up on the stand I said a quick prayer asking my Heavenly Father to calm my nerves and help the message in my talk to get through, and asked that it wouldn't be as bad as I was expecting it to be.  When the time came for me to give my talk, I was the first speaker by the way, I still had butterflies, but once I got up to the pulpit, they were gone.  I had no butterflies what-so-ever, and suddenly standing up there and speaking was not so bad.  My talk must have went great because people kept complimenting me on it, and my once Young Women's president, who is now in the stake Young Women's, told me that I had so much confidence up there.  To which my reply was, ummmm, no I didn't.  She then told me that I looked and sounded like I did.  Wow, I may not have had the nerves I had before, but I most certainly was not confident.  Then when we were home my dad told me that a couple in our ward told him that they were very impressed with my talk.  So, long story short, I guess giving a talk is not that bad, however, I will not just volunteer to give one.

Late Night at the Church

 So we have the best bishop ever!  We went to a our Lehi basketball game against Lone Peak, which we lost, 58 to 38, but who cares right?  After, Kayli, Zakk, Jordan, Braden, and I were able to go to the church at 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. to play some basketball and hang out!  We got there and there were yellow and blue balloons, however, most of them were on the ceiling because they had floated up, but there were two on the ground, so Kayli and I had to take pictures with them!  

We also played some attempted basketball, considering we are not all that good at any sport, and because of this, when we played PIG with the guys, we were the first ones out.  

We also just enjoyed taking pictures of ourselves, and our eyes.......!

Sister Fun!

So what do you get when you are trying to paint a 2 year olds nails?  Well you could get a lot of things, but in Hope's case, it ends op on your eyelid and forehead.  How? I had just finished painting all of her nails and instantly her hand goes up to her face, putting finger nail polish on her eyelid.  So I fixed her nails and tell her not to touch her face. What does she do? Touches her face.......ofcourse. So I fixed her nails again.  Then I look at her nails a few seconds later and the pointer finger on her right hand has little to no finger nail polish. This time......I just left it.
