Dear Mother Nature,

even though my best friend would disagree,

please stop making snow anywhere.

She loves snowboarding more than me,

and I miss her.

[love] ME

Dear ASU,

can you please just end already!

Your homework and class schedules are

getting in the way of our BFF hang outs.

You suck!

[love] ME

Dear Work,

My Kristi^2 friends are starting to think that I don't love them, and that I am not happy.

Please stop being so demanding!

[love] ME!

ps (Kristi Campbell I don't have a pic of you?)

Hi.....yes I am alive!

Well it has been forever...

yeah sorry about that!

Here is the run down of my life

since january until the end of March:

January

Papa's Funeral in Il

Aunts and Uncles

[check out my hot mama in the red!]

[close, but not all, grandkids on the Bowden side]

Started my FINAL semester of classes

Homework, Homework, Homework!

February

My cousin Jason got Married in Florida

Pom won their 8 state championship in a row!

go to aia 365 to watch their routine

[about 76 min into the afternoon taping]

Final project #1 for classes due

which means plenty of

sleepless nights, diet cherry pepsi, and hobo outfits

And in the end the only thing getting me through it all

The Temple, like always

Speechless

Meet Dr. Papa... amazing man, I mean he raised my mom after all! Dr. Papa changed the world,one patient at a time, just ask Joliet, IL they have story after story, life saved after life saved, all because of this man, unselfish, giving, and sacrificing of moments with his 11 children (Yes I just said ELEVEN) and moments with his precious sweetheart

all so he could save lives, of those he hardly knew...

Dr. Papa's period of tests and trials will soon be over, he soon will get to embrace his sweet wife again and watch us from beyond the veil. I know that for many my lack of words and lack of tears at these moments seems insensitive, but let me explain:

I have a testimony of Eternal Families

Even though my family has yet to be sealed,

I know we will be together again in the kingdoms above

I know that what ever lacking in our relationship we may have had due to life circumstances,

We will make up for on the other side of the veil

I have a testimony of the Plan of Salvation

I know I will see my Dr. Papa again

"And I soon go to the place of my rest, which is with my Redeemer; for I know that in him I shall rest. And I rejoice in the day when my mortal shall put on immortality, and shall stand before him; then shall I see his face with pleasure, and he will say unto me: Come unto me, ye blessed, there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father. Amen."

[Enos 1:27]

I love you Papa

May God be with you until we meet again

A Brand New Year!

2010:

The great and wonderful twenty-ten brought many things into my life, two new best friends, a trial that I fully needed to experience to prove to myself I am stronger than I think, my life is more blessed than I can imagine, and my mom still knows me better than anyone. Many disappointments were felt, and many priceless memories were made. The temple proved to be the ONLY thing that kept be grounded, or at times, barely afloat. I gained a curfew again, and fell in love with 'home' all over again. Spent many, many, many a work filled night, and many nights buried in homework assignments. I witnessed a beautiful daughter of God with such a meek, and humble heart get baptized, and daily soften the hearts of my parents. I spent one full day in and out of a car, taking too many pictures and making memories of the most successful kidnapping I have ever pulled off. Was brought to tears over how blessed I really am, and spent a Christmas season that exhibited more love and kindness than any year past. Twenty-ten had many a moment of confusion, tears, and sadness, but and even greater amount of love, charity, and moments of amazement at those in my life.

2011:

You came in with joy, laughter, and great company. I have big expectations for you, being the year I turn 2, turn 22, graduate from college, become a teacher, and hopefully find more and more ways to draw closer to living with an eternal perspective.

To anyone, and everyone who made my 2010 what it was, and who is yet to make my 2011 the best year yet, Thank You! Words of love and gratitude can not fully express how blessed I feel everyday to be surrounded by those who motivate me to be a better person, I love you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Do Something More

Lately I am not even ashamed to admit I've been soul searching

Not because I need major change

Because I need drive

Because I need to thrive off something

Because I need to be motivated to do something MORE

I found that motivation here

The Deuce Litui story

watch the video linked above,

I promise it is not a waste of your time

Here is my TBOLITNFL

My personal internal commitment

I will effortlessly accomplish goals that were once intimidating

I am beautiful

I love myself

I respect my body as I do the temple

I make my own choices

I am a Disciple of Christ

I am devoted to my Heavenly Father as Elder Holland and the current day apostles and prophet are

I will be there when I am needed

I will help those in need

I hope you are as inspired as I was, as I am

Hardison Family [FTW]

A Family Tradition

So in the Biro household we can be strange,

so strange that a tradition was sprung one morning

it was after I had just had broken up with a boy

and I was sad

so my sisters woke me up out of a sound sleep one morning

and did a very acrobatic, very interpretive dance

to this song

Now on this Christmas...

Abby and I can't wait for Emily to be home

so we can DANCE!

maybe if you are lucky I'll post a video of us doing it

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas!

Go spend time with someone you love [lessthan3]

New Beginnings

no, there really isn't anything really NEW in my life

but somehow, the things about to happen in my life

make it feel like a new beginning

im not supposed to admit this

but maybe i don't care

maybe i can cry over something i left in the past 2 years ago

maybe i can be irrational

maybe i can get emotional over listening to old songs

maybe i love my new sweatpants that were $40,

yes ridiculously $40

maybe im not ready to grow up

maybe i have a few life decisions to make,

but im putting them off

maybe im completely and totally lost without the gospel in my life

maybe im entirely okay with the previous statement

maybe im petrified to ask out a guy in my ward because he is

out of my league

maybe im perfectly imperfect,

and its all okay because my Heavenly Father made me that way

and he has a plan

and thats all that really matters.
