I am in the midst of studying for finals and doing final projects, so my time on the computer has been real limited. I haven't even had any time to post anything with pictures for Easter. I'm just real stretched for time right now, so forgive me if you never see Easter pics until next Easter. My choir tour wasn't interesting enough for pictures, so I didn't take any. (for shame!)
So, in a nutshell....I'm too busy to blog right now. I will catch up later.

Easter pics will have to wait, I'm off for tour
Choir tour that is. We had a nice Easter day and I will give the deets and pics when I return. Gotta go and get some packing done. I'll tell all when I return.
Easter Sunday's food for thought
We may not know what lies ahead of us.
We know not what the coming days will bring.
We live in a world of uncertainty.
But one thing we do know.
Like the polar star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives.
He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the
very focus of our faith."
President Gordon B. Hinckley
Happy Easter everyone!

Sunday's Food for Thought
It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the devil to enter a door that is closed. He seems to have no keys for locked doors. But if a door is slightly ajar, he gets his toe in, and soon this is followed by his foot, then by his leg, and his body and his head, and finally he is in all the way.
President Spencer W. Kimball

Movie review
Since I have a break from school, I went and finally saw this movie today. I've been wanting to see it since it came out. Well, I was not disappointed. I loved it! It was so cute and had a really great message. I will definitely be taking my family to see this one

Tally collapsed onto the bed, covering her face with her hands and sobbing.
Peris sat next to her and held her for a while as she cried, then wiped her nose and sat her up.
"Look at you, Tally Youngblood."
"Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld
This is a book my daughter is reading and loves
Here's the synopsis:
Tally was tired of being separated from her best friend, Peris. The last few months, trapped in Uglyville while Peris was in New Pretty Town, had been torture. Tally decided she had to see him, even if for only a few minutes, and escaped into New Pretty Town. She did manage to see Peris very briefly and he had changed inside and out. He was mildly pleased to see Tally and promised they would be best friends again when Tally became "pretty" in a few months. He helped her escape safely and, on her way back to Uglyville, she met Shay. Shay is another "ugly" who was also meeting a friend in New Pretty Town. She and Tally shared stories of their adventures. They became the best of friends, and Shay took Tally to the Rusty Ruins. She shared with her about a group of people who had run away to live in the forest by the ruin. Those people had decided not to become "pretty" and Shay was considering it too. She wanted Tally to run away with her and not become "pretty", but Tally wouldn't. Shay left without her. So, Tally became sixteen, and was on her way to the hospital for the "pretty" operation, when she found herself at Special Circumstances instead. A "cruel pretty" named Dr. Cable met with Tally and told her that either she could become a spy and go to the forest and activate a tracker (disguised as a pendant) so that the people living there could be arrested or she could stay "ugly" forever. Tally, thinking she really didn't have a choice, decided to become a spy and found the people who lived in the forest, called the Smoke. The Smokies, as they are called, don't trust her at first, but in time, she convinced them that she wanted to be there. Tally had to tell numerous lies to cover the truth and the lies get more and more complicated. In time, she decided that she really liked living there, developed a relationship with David, and wanted to become a Smokie. To show her commitment to the Smokies, and to David specifically, Tally threw her pendant into the fire. Unbeknownst to Tally, the pendant was programmed to go off even if it was damaged. The tracking signal was sent, and when Tally awoke, Special Circumstances had surrounded the Smoke. Will Tally, David, and the other Smokies escape or will they be captured and forced to become "pretty"?

Sunday's Food for Thought (on Monday)
Since I was so busy yesterday, I didn't have an opportunity to get on the computer, so here is a thought for today:
Happiness keeps you sweet,
Trials keep you strong,
Sorrows keep you human,
Failures keep you humble,
Success keeps you glowing,
But only God keeps you going.
