SENIOR PICTURES!

Hey Everyone!

If you know any Seniors who need some great senior pictures taken, will you show them to my website? I'd love to take some fun portraits for seniors. :) I am running a special right now too. nykelecrandallphotography.com

Love you all!

New Shoes

I got three new pairs of shoes for my birthday day this year. Am I obsessed? YES! Nothing feels better than putting on a new pair of shoes and strutting (or running, or mucking) around. :)

I do have to say that one person is enjoying my new shoes a little more than I am this year. Cache. He will put on my shoes wherever we go. HE LOVES SHOES. He clomps around in any size shoe, as long as he can get it on his foot! (The best is when he tries to walk in Wes's size 13 shoes!) Cache is very conscious of fashion too because he knows who is wearing what shoe and he can bring you the shoes you just took off, even if he doesn't know you.

The kid is a pro at his kicks. I think I might have new competition for wearing new shoes out and about.

We Seek After These Things...

Have you ever read the 13th Article of Faith? I mean really read it? I can honestly say that I haven't. Until now. I have had the amazing blessing to be in Young Women for two and a half years now. That's a pretty long time...and yet, it isn't. There's so much to be done and so much that can be done in a year. But you have to work for it. I have met some amazing women who are working hard to bless the lives of the youth. But my favorite part of young women is the YOUTH. I love them. From their smiles to their various talents to their strong spirits to their weaknesses and insecurities. Everything that they have makes them beautiful. They are such awesome instruments in the Lord's hands.

The theme this year for Young Women (and young men) is the 13th Article of Faith. I love the idea of seeking after virtuous things. It is NOT enough to try and avoid the bad things around us, we need to be seeking after the good, virtuous, benevolent things that God has placed on this earth. By doing so, we can help lead others unto Christ. That's what I need to improve on and I hope that I will. I want to lead others to Christ by all that I do and say. I want to make sure that I am planting within me a PURE desire to follow and obey the Lord. I want to make sure that I am doing the things He asks of us because I understand what they are and why they are important. It is vital that we don't just go through the motions, but that we truly understand our worship and WHO we worship, and why.

I love my callings with the youth and I have been so deeply blessed by my associations with them. They strengthen me daily and help me stay focused on my goals and my Heavenly Father.
