To a Great Latter-Day Saint...

I feel really blessed to have lived on this earth alongside so many great men. I love the gospel. I love the men and women that help draw each of us closer to heaven.

“This is my prayer for all of us—'Lord, increase our faith.' Increase our faith to bridge the chasms of uncertainty and doubt. . . . Grant us faith to look beyond the problems of the moment to the miracles of the future. . . . Give us faith to do what is right and let the consequence follow.”
( “Lord, Increase Our Faith,” Ensign, Nov. 1987, 52–53.)

Vocab...

I am one of those people that really admires a person with a wide vocabulary. I find myself making mental notes of words people use and then looking them up when I get home just to make sure I knew what it meant (or to find out what it means).
I think this is because as much as I love hearing new words I have a hard time using words correctly, some of you may have noticed this. I'm constantly reviewing my sentences with Mitch just to make sure I'm not making a fool of myself.
I love it when I read a book and have to keep the dictionary close by for the words the author uses that I've never heard before.
I'm not all about people just throwing difficult and rare words into conversations but I still like to hear a variety of vocabulary in conversations.
Likewise there are words I despise. I dislike them so much that I won't even tell you what they are because I don't want to have to type them. I once had a roommate that hated the word armpit. I don't really know why. It's not that I like saying armpit but it just doesn't bother me. Another friend of mine hated it when people said chunk or any variation of that word. I guess words just effect us all in different ways!?!
Here are a few of my favorite words:
-fruition (don't know why, I just like it-maybe because it has the word fruit in it and I like fruit?)
-veracious
-cacophony
-obsequious (most words with q's are good)
I could come up with a billion more.

Any of you have any words you love (or hate) to hear?

Help!

Stealing an idea from a friend's blog I've decided to get your input. I'm getting my hair cut either this week or next and I have no idea what to do. What do you think? Which hair cut could I pull off best?

...Short, above the shoulder A-line? (Yikes!)

...Or Medium? With a few side bangs?


...Or keep it long with more layers?

It's been decided...

I'm getting my haircut. It's high time don't you think? I've basically had the same haircut since I was 10 yrs old. I knew getting a new do was a must when talking with my friend about my current style she politely said, "you don't really have a hairstyle right now, you just have hair."
So what should I do??? My hair is pretty long right now and I don't want to just go in get a trim and a few subtle layers like I always do and no one can even tell I had two inches cut off.
I don't want to go too short either, I don't think that would be flattering.
Let me know if you have any ideas!
