General Conference: Spring, 2012

-"Family time is sacred time and should be protected and respected."

-"The Lord wants the people of His church to be converted to His gospel."

-Missionaries arrive as spiritual infants, eager to learn and to teach, and leave as spiritully mature adults ready to take on the world!

-There is no end to the expansive capacity to love... it is like a gravitational pull drawing us nearer to our Father in Heaven who waits with open arms.

-"Jesus' sacrifice was the offering of the ultimate good, the pure lamb of God, for the ultimate evil, the sins of the entire world."

-"It's true, isn't it? ...Then what else matters?"

-Challenges: and exciting prospect to prove our courage and faith to Christ.

-If we have not a strong foundation of faith, then our ability to endure will crumble.

-"Even if we act on merely a twig of faith, Heavenly Father can grow it."

-Our trials and suffering on this earth are not a punishment from God, He just wants us to have a little more polishing before we go home, have patience. :)

-"Don't be jealous because I choose to be kind."

-It does not diminish us when others succeed.

-"We are not in a race against each other to see who is the most beautiful, talented, etc. We are in a race against sin... envy being one of the most universal."

-"Envy is the sin that just keeps giving, it is like downing a quart of pickle juice every time anyone around us has a happy moment!"

-"Don't hyperventilate about something that happened at 9 o'clock in the morning, when the grace of God is trying to reward you at 6 o'clock in the evening."

-"Surely the thing that God enjoys most about being God is the thrill of being merciful, especially to those who don't expect it, and especially feel they don't deserve it."

-Us: "Heavenly Father, I just can't do it tonight. Can't I just come and stay with you for one night?"

Heavenly Father: "No... but I can stay with you."

-"When we are in the Lord's territory we have no desire to do evil, but even one inch in the opposite direction puts is un the hands of Satan."

-You can't be right by doing wrong; you can't be wrong by doing right."

-"Our Heavenly Fatehr did not send us to earth to fail, but to succeed gloriously."

----------------------------------------

Oh how I love this gospel. It is so glorious, and it is so so true!

Oh Haaai There...

Well hello there lovelies.

Remember when I told you that I was going to write about all of these cool things that had happened to me in the past little while?

Well some things changed, and basically there is one thing that has basically consumed my entire life. :)

I guess all you need to know about the pictures is that the cowboy one is from the Sadie Hawkins. The handsome lad I went with is my fantastic friend Rexx. We had a BLAST! And that is all. Then painting the nails thing? I was just goign to rant about how much I love being a Senior... specifically being able to get away with the craziest crap. We Seniors really don't care about anything and... quite frankly... neither do our teachers. :) And that is all. And the giant blue circle on my head? I passed out for the first time. Right before we left for church. On the toilet. Twas pretty embarassing but I had the most fantastic goose egg to show for it for about four hours! That's all the time the arnica gave it to have its fun... oh you haven't heard of arnica you say? Look it up, it's the most fantastical magical substance on the planet! And that is all. :)

So anyway, getting on with life, I reported to you guys not too long ago that I did something very un-Jadyn-like and hopped onto the Hunger Games bandwagon. Yeah, remember that long absence on the hot bliggity blog? The explination is simple... I have been consumed by this book! Utterly devoured I tell you!

I'd say it was a problem, but quite frankly I enjoy being absolutely taken with this series. I am just getting into book three and the themes of bravery, sacrifice, dystopia, deciet, and ultimately love just drive me insine in the most onwderful way possible! I just want to sit and analyze every character all day long! Katniss' bravery, yet her inability to know her own self - which attributes to, or more stems from, her devotion to her family and taking up the mother role in her house during her childhood. Gale's drive, he is so directional in his goals, his purpose, and his desires which makes him absolutely perfect for (SPOILER ALERT) the rebellion! Peeta's love... dear goodness Peeta is the ultimate epitome of love! Not only for his love for Katniss, but for the genuine goodness of his heart... it's literally the size of an inflated african elephant! I'm not one to fangirl seriously, but man oh man... this will not be the last Hunger Games post on this blog I assure you. :) I may jsut have to dedicate some posts to just disecting certain themes or topics of the book. Or maybe I should mreak down the movie when it comes out. Oh the possibilities! :D So now that you have been warned here is my advice... go read the freaking books! Off you go now! :) Happy Hunger Games!

I'm Confused...

We take a break in catching up on the documentation of interesting events in the life of Lady Jane to back in the light of either severe stupidity, or supressed genuis.

...

Ok...

So all of the figures in my Online PE course are faceless.

No big deal.

Faces might make them a bit creepy, you know?

I mean, I know my workout faces either look like I want to murder someone or like someone is murdering me.

Either of those choices are unfortunate to animate on a two-demensional figure.

But this?

This is a first.

Never has a figure been stripped down to his socks and underwear...

...and yes, the mustache is new too.

I'm confused. This is hilarious! This is amazing! This is also one of the strangest things I've seen all day. I have a strange feeling that personage who is behind this would get along smashingly with yours truly. :)

Overall, I have no words really.

It's just probably the most hilarious thing I've seen all week!

I thought I'd share the laughs. :)

I Am A Future Sister Wife

Alrighty dearies, I'm going to work to write this post as FAST AS I POSSIBLY CAN!!!

I have lot's of homework to do you see.

And seeing as this is my last eight weeks of High School ever... *happy dance break* ... I best be putting in at least some effort, right? :)

Ha ha, well as I promised I am giving you slow and steady explinations to the previous four pictures which were posted but a few days ago.

Each of these pictures represents something FaNtAsTiC that happened in the life of Lady Jane that has not been blogged about.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Do you ever go through phases where is there is one word or phrase that you just start using all. the. time? Just out of the blue? It's like your mouth's new best friend or something, or like that little kid next door who always just shows up in your house just to mooch off of your food (like Beans from Even Stevens... if you don't know who that is then get out now), because you have no idea where it's coming from but there it is popping up in your sentence like it owns the dang thing! Right now mine is fantastic. :)

Shall we proceed with the first picture?

And here is depicted a Jadyn Maree and a Victoria Renee. Toria with lazer vision. Jadyn with a bapstism program. And a buff woman in a green sweater showing off her biceps.

Awesome.

And what's that plastered onto our silly faces?

Yes my friends, that is overwhelming excitement!

You see... we are about to meet our future husband!

Y'al know about Kid History? You know, the YouTube videos so obviously made by Mormons that will have you in tears laughing or you have no soul?

If you are uneducated, please scroll to the bottom of this post and procee to click the links that will take you on a journey through Episodes 1 - 8 of Kid History, then come back to me and read. :)

So anywhosle my family is so darn obsessed with Kid History that the minute we found out that tickets were available for a Premiere of the 8th episode in Arizona (they all live in Utah... again... Mormons! :) ) that we marked the date and bought tickets the DAY they came on sale. :)

We even went as far as to all make T-Shirts with some of our favorite quotes on them!

Toria's says, "They dressed like the three amigos... and everybody had mustaches!", mine says "She has short hair like a boy... but she's a girl!" (he he, get the irony there?), my mom's said "Here's your perfectly normaly pancakes kids!" with "You can't even tase it!" on the back, Sydnee's said, "I know it's green... but what else is about it?", Tony's said, "Oceanology (I had a class)... Oceanography (FAAAAAAACT)", and Grant's said, "This is fun *picture of a tree*... This is funner! *picture of a house*".

Nerds to the max guys. We know our Kid History quotes! :)

So anyhow we go to the premiere, we are temporarily freaked out at hearing these men with actual man voices, and then we bask in all their glory!

Especially one in particular... Richard.

Guys, nobody can deny that he is the most beautiful of the Kid History fellas besides Randy... who is taken... that's just awkward.

So anyhow, this gorgeous man is on stage and it's all Victoria and I can do to keep drool from dripping out of our mouths! He's fantastic! (there it is again!)

And then something magical happens... the projector that they had been using starts having some techincal difficulty and an awkward silence falls over the auditorium as we wait for the machine to stop having issues. Brett orders Richard to do a little dance in order to ease the tension. He shuffles to the front of the stage and does the most pathetically awesome dance anyone has ever seen and the audienc errupts in applause and laughter for this wonderful person! And just as silence falls back over the crowd Toria and I turn to each other, read minds, and shout simultaneously, "I love you Richard!!!"

There are laughs, but when he responds to our proclemation the crowd laughs harder and some even clap.

And Toria and I just die right there.

Later they are sending themselves into the audience to pick volunteers for Kid History Jeporady and Richard is charging our way down the aisle. Victoria is in the aisle seat and reaches for a high five... it is given... she swears never to wash the hand again (I had to break the news to her after she went to the bathroom later that... well... like and decent human being she had washed her hands... let's just say it was a sad few minutes of mourning) .

And later as we wait in line to meet the men after the actual premiere itself is over we keep rehearsing over and over what we will say to Richard once we are in his presence. We go back and forth from fangirly to stalky to nerdy and back to fangirly, and ultimately once we actually are on stage talking face to face with him I have to crane my neck to see him! He's so much taller than we anticipated, and his face is even more beautiful in person.. we freeze. And suddenly when I realize Victoria isn't going to say anthing I say in a half sarcastic half fake-reporter style, "I'd just like to inform you that we are the two girls who proclaimed our love to you in the audience, and Victoria here is the one who got a high five in the ailse." And then immediately pose for our picture.

And then, again, something magical happens. It must have taken a few seconds for what I had said to sink in and then a few more seconds for him to register my joking tone because after a large delay he starts to laugh! I mean seriously, while we're posing for a picture he starts laughing and mimiking us! He totally had our exact same sense of humor and before we know it the three of us are bantering right there on stage. Oh my. Please. I'm sensing the next season of Sister Wives folks. Please send me up to Utah to the man of my dreams!

And for some pictures?

Syd was so kind as to take some pictures while Toria and I held their spot in line (they joined us once we got closer to the stage... cheaters).

And here is the photographic evidence of our achievement! We met Richard Sharrah! Talked with him! Joked around with him! Proclaimed our love to him and reieved response! Nothing else in life matters now (you know... except graduation, college, marriage, and all that fun stuff). :)

Please excuse my face folks. Some people just don't know how to smile for pictures... *coughcough* :)

Kid History Episodes... One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, and Eight.

P.S. On a totally unrelated topic I have a confession to make... you all know that when there is a bandwagon that I am the LAST person to jump on it. You could definitely call me a hipster in that sense. I'm also not a big reader. It puts me to sleep, I think it's so boring! However, when I find a good book I love then it's like my favorite thing in the world, but even then it still takes me forever to finish. Guys... I started the Hunger Games... I'm almost finished... it's. the. best. thing. EVER! I haven't been this in love with a book since I read A Thousand Splendid Suns... and ohmygosh! I'm big time obsessing here. :) I'm almost finished and *deep breaths* if you haven't started them, them START NOW! Coming from the ultimate hipster and hater of reading, they are increadible. :) Peace out homies! Have a sunshiney day!

Well Howdy Doody

Hmmm, well this is awkward...

How long has it been since I last blogged?

Unspeakably long, that's how long!

And there is a crap load of things that need to be said!

But right now?

I don't want to say them!

That's right, I'm lazy!

And I've been making myself love laundry!

You know how?

Because I have allowed myself to connect the act of folding laundry with the act of watching Police Drama and Crime Television shows.

Police Dramas are my faovrite!!!!

After I watch one of them I can't watch any other type of show for the rest of the day, it suddenly seems inferior.

So right now I wil leave you with these thoughts...

-Short hair is the best yo! If you're a woman and you're thinking seriously about chopping your hair off... DO IT! It's the most liberating thing you'll ever do!

-Perhaps laundry isn't so bad after all...

-I love doing my hair in the mornings because afterward my hand smell like product. :)

-If you read this blog, and have been reading this blog, and have continued to read this blog even after my lazy break, then kudos to you!

-If you put on chapstick right before bed, you won't wake up with increadibly soft lips... something terrible will happen!

-Have you ever become immune to your deoderant/anti-persperant?

-I love living in Arizona.

-Writing letters to a missionary is fun.

-Writing letters to a missionary is especially fun when that missionary is as hilarious and legit as Elder Moss.

-I'm a fan of dogs.

-I'm a fan of Rhett and Link.

-I'm a fan of socks.

-Especially Toe socks.

Stay tuned for the following blog posts! You will hear fantastical stories about...

I feel like the lack of captions build suspense therefore enticing your curiostity and drawing you back to this webpage for explinations that will inevtiably come in the future.

See you then!
