so it begins...

letters letters letters.

my saving grace. 

100th post deserves something special.

and what is more special than hearing divine words from one of our beloved apostles?

this is perfect.

but how could it not be??

please watch, listen, and truly think about his words.

they are glorious and inspired.

i am incredibly grateful for the opportunity i have to hear the words of the Prophet this weekend. 

it could not have come at a better time.

i am grateful for the gospel in my life and the strength it constantly gives me.

i am grateful for the worthy priesthood holders and leaders of the church.

i am grateful for the love and support that i am never without.

i know this church is unceasingly true.

how else could so many amazing miracles occur all around us everyday?

my life is overwhelmingly blessed because of the beauty of the gospel.

really really like.

i just cant get enough of this bloggin stuff. 

i guess that is what i get to sleep in for a little then follow that up with naps during my day.

no complaints here.

anyway..

#6 is: the person you like and why you like them.

hmm.

pretty sure i have covered this a billion and a half times before, but i will NEVER get enough of talking about this handsome boy.

what isn't to like, really.

i like that he knows what i am thinking.

i like that he loves my family.

i like that he is incredibly attractive.

i like that we are completely comfortable together.

i like that he knows what is important.

i like that he was raised in the Gospel.

i like that he wants children.

i like that he loves to play sports.

i like that he makes me laugh daily.

i like that we will be living almost 6000 miles apart for two years, but it will only make us stronger.

i like that he is my better half.

i just really, REALLY like him.

thats all.

pet peeeeeves.

5 things that bug me about the opposite/same sex.

if you know me at all, you will know that i have more than a few pet peeves. i try really hard to not, but sometimes i just cant help it. 

boys:

• cockiness.
• dont get me wrong, i swoon over a confident boy, but when he thinks there is no one greater than he, he is outta here.
• rudeness
• sometimes you meet people who dont have filters and they think their humor is top notch when it definitely is not. i cant stand when i hear boys use vulgar language or disrespectful words. immediate turn off.
• laziness
• i need a boy who is driven and has goals in life. 'nuff said.
• takes longer than me to get ready.
• self explanatory
• video-game obsessive.
• now i def. dont mind some madden or anything like that here and there. it would be the same thing with me and my blog...but when boys stay up into the wee hours of the night...i mean COME ON.

girls:

• judgmental
• when a girl decides the type of person you are before they even speak a word to you, that just does not make sense.
• cant wear sweats
• i do love to get all dressed up and stuff, but there are days where i NEED to put on my comfiest pair of sweats and a hoodie. who cares?!!
• fake
• if you dont like me, dont pretend to be my best friend. my feelings won't get hurt. promise.
• when they have to know EVERYTHING.
• sometimes i dont really like telling someone my whole life story. 
• attention seekers
• obvious.

thats all. 

good thing i have a good boy already and some super fab gf's!!

i really am a loving person, i just am following the challenge.

nightynight.

xoxo

changechangechange

that word seems to describe my life at this moment.

how have i changed these past two years?


there is no way that anyone can really live their lives and not change in two years. am i right?
but i feel the past two years in my own life have been the most defining thus far.
i have moved away from home for the first time.
i have grown more spiritually strong than i have my whole life.
i have loved deeper than i thought i would at my age.
i have met people who will be in my life for the rest of it.
i have decided what i can seriously see myself doing as a career. and actually loving it.
i have short hair...?

in summary, i have changed in a lot of different ways.
if this is any indication as to how much more i will change these next two years,
just you wait to meet a whole new Chandler Hanna Daniels.

it'll be exciting. i promise.

xoxo. nighty night.
