My Beautiful Grandma Hill

Tuesday, September 25, 2012, My beautiful Grandma Hill passed away. I've never had anybody in my family pass away, so this has been a difficult week for me. Today we went to her viewing. She looked so beautiful in her white temple dress. I know she's in a much better place and that she's happier where she is. There are no words to describe how much I love my Grandma. She was an amazing woman. I'm so thankful for her righteous example and for the inspiration she's been to me in my life.


I'm going to miss seeing her beautiful smile every time we go and visit. I'm going to miss her big hugs and kisses. I'm going to miss all the football games. I'm going to miss talking to her about what's been happening. I'm going to miss fishing with her. I'm just going to miss my Grandma.



I'm so thankful for this wonderful gospel and for the Plan of Salvation. I'm thankful I was blessed with such an amazing family. I know that I'll get to see my Grandma again. I know I'll get to see her happy smile and that I'll get to give her a big hug. I'm thankful that she was my Grandma and I'm thankful for all the life lessons she taught me. I know she's going to be with me for the rest of my life. I know she's rooting for me to do my best and that she'll help me along the way.


I love you Grandma!

Somebody's been a bad, bad blogger :\

Like everybody else... I've been a bad blogger. It's been a pretty eventful month for me... full of good and sad times, memorable moments, and just pure randomness :).

Hmmm... where should I start? :)

We went on a BEAUTIFUL hike (hanging lake) and this is what it was! Isn't it gorgeous? There was a big tree that had fallen over into the middle of the lake so we walked across it into the middle of the water.

On the hike there was a cute little house thingy so..... obviously we to took a picture :)

I got a new set of scriptures (on the right) for my birthday. I compared them to my old set of scriptures (on the left). I love my old scriptures, but there is something great about having more pages to mark up and write on that makes me smile :)

SENIOR YEAR!!!!!!!! Ahhhh!! This is my Student ID card. I'm actually really happy with my picture this year! :) Which is always a good thing, right? 

After the Ward Luau I brought a bunch of my crazy friends over to my house and watched Psych and ate popcorn (and beef jerky... if you're Callie). 
Sydnee talking to the cute little neighbor girl over the fence.


Flowers from the hanging pots.

My CRAZY friends :). We were on our way to a band competition (which we did AHAMAZING at)!
AF took first place and swept all the caption awards. Davis got second.



I feel bad it's been so long! And this blog post probably isn't the best :/ but at least I posted right?!

Thanks for visiting :)
