Benny...AND Sarah.

" Blogging is not writing its graffiti with punctuation. "- movie i saw with Ben. ( Contagious)

So Ben and I used our gift card thanks to the St. George Institute to Outback Steak house. We ate there with all the senior citizens from the senior games. We even saw a car on fire!!!! ( well it was on fire before we got there) We dined and dashed. hahah. No we left the gift card than left. ( hopefully it worked). 
Than we went and saw this way intense movie with a bad ending. So funny i touched Ben and i was like i have a sore throat.  And he bulleted across the movie theater. This lady gave him the funniest look!! The movie has a dumb ending, but it was so intense. I always have fun with Ben. We are good friends. He told me about one of his driving habits and it slightly scares me. haha. 


Life is good. Today was a good day. When life is stressful go on a date. 
OH and how could i forget the funniest moment. So i forgot i rolled my window up in Ben's car and he was like look that car was on fire. So i turn my head to stick it out of the window because i forgot i had rolled it up. AND WAHM i banged my head on his window. SO funny. I just laugh. 

Three Strikes and Your Out

Is this any hint to something? It's all in the sky. I love October and full moons. It is my favorite thing. Speaking of which it's a full moon now. October brings great changes with fall.

Tuccahn Presents The Little Mermaid

For family home evening we went to see The Little Mermaid. It was sooo good. The costumes were like neon colors. The characters even danced and skated on water! It was probably one of the coolest tuccahn shows i've ever seen. I was super sad that i missed speed dating. ( that was my family home evening for the YSA ward) Im now adding speed dating to my bucket list. I had a really cool quote i wanted to share from it but i can't remember. The songs were different than the one's in the movie. It was something like " Dancing and your smile speaks louder than words" 

 Some little girl snuck into our picture.

My mommy bought me mint hot chocolate . She loves me. 

Love , love , love and it's not even Valentines Day yet!

In my family relationships class we are learning all about LOVE! Did i mention that this is my favorite class I'm taking in college? I had to take a quiz the other day to figure out what my love attitude is. My love attitude is Pragma. Which is practical love, or rationalization in love. I found this hilarious! This is exactly me. This is the only time i've ever taken a quiz and found it to be correct. My friend Devin also took the quiz he was Storge which is affectionate and shows commitment too. We had to compare answers so i could right about it in my class. I don't think i agreed with what type of love he was. 

These ideas of the different type of love come from Lee's  6 types of love:

1. Eros: Love of beauty and the physical

2. Mania: Obsessive or jealous love

3.Ludus: Playful love its all for fun and games. 

4. Storge: companionate love

5. Agape: Altruistic and selfless love

6. Pragma: Practical Love/ Rationalization

I think my favorite type of love is Agape. That was only one point below my highest. I think that is my main goal in life is to be more altruistic. ( This was Devin's lowest. He is still a good person though) 

In love you need to have mutuality. Your dreams and goals should be something that you can still achieve with a partner. ( according to professor Eicher) 

Something that stuck out to me was the attachment theory. The attachment theory states that are primary motivation in life is to be connected with other people because its the only security we ever have. 

Hmmm... really makes you think. I love this class so much! It's really deep. 

Back on the topic of being altruistic a thought they brought up in class was you need to give service to the person you love. But, at the same time you need to be humble enough to ask for help and realize it. 

Thought of the day: Who are you? ( referring to the person you love) what do you need? How can i provide all this by being me?

Its beyond doing unto others as you would have done unto you. It's do what others need for us at that time to become them. Its like the saying you don't truly understand someone till you've walked a mile in their shoes. 

Everyone wants to discover and be there best self . So you need to understand that there doing their best even though it doesn't appear that way. 

True love comes when you least expect it. 

The thought that you need to have the ability to love and re-fall in love often. ( preferably with that same person) 

But, what do i know i'm just someone thats might of been in love before. 

This will probably be all my advice on love for awhile since were moving on from that chapter. 

Love conquers all.

Sunday Thoughts for the Spiritual.

" The only dumb mistake is the one you don't learn from"


New Goal: In relief society they talked about the gathering of Israel. The teacher spelt israel I-S-R-E-A-L. Even though it was a mistake it stuck out to me, like what were learning about IS REAL. Its also the the word atonement at one ment. You're at one with christ. So my goal is to learn more about my tribe in my patreartical blessing. I had no idea that there were certin blessing pertaining to the tribe. I found it really cool.  They brought up a point and said that could be your only thing in your blessing, and you would be okay. The rest is just an extra personalized road map. I like that the lord cares about us so much we can see what's in store for us. 


Another sunday thought from the YSA fireside: Bridle your passions. Just the past few days ive really been thinking about how to spend my time more wisely and make the most out of life. If i use all my talent and really develop it im bridling my passions. My human development professor said today that "if your not reading your text book than what are you doing?" It hit me hard. What am i really doing with my life and what do i have to show. In high school i was always involved and doing multipul projects, but now im not doing extra projects. So its really time to focus on my music . 


Goal: Learn to play my guitar so it stops collecting dust. ( i need to remember how good it felt to accomplish and play at the senior show off)  I volunteered Matt to help me with this goal. 


Play piano. I'm good when i practice so i need to just keep practicing. And same with violin. I want an electric violin for christmas . I better start practicing again. 

Another thought from the fireside: You really get to know a person when your working on a project together. Especially if it's a project that shows your similar interest and what you have in common. You can see a persons work ethic and a lot about their personality. Most importantly you can see there patients tolerance. :)
