So so pretty.

I miss my Valentine.



At least I got a cute package from him:)

Hogwarts

Merry Christmas

I'm already sad that Christmas is over. This Christmas season I wasn't excited or anxious like I usually am, so I was pleasantly surprised by what a great holiday it was. I feel like low expectations always have the best results.

I had such an amazing time being with my family. Now that I don't live with them it's actually kind of fun when we get together haha. I got a lot of great presents! Flowerbomb perfume, an ipod dock, a movie, boots, a blanket, etc. All of my presents were surprises this year which was really fun, and I completely love everything I got! 

One of my favorite presents was a nice surprise email from Josh! It was really good to hear from him on Christmas because I was missing him so much. He sent me a package a couple days before full of food from the MTC: cookies, hot chocolate mix, candy canes, candy bars, etc. I absolutely loved it! Also, at the Warner Christmas party we got to talk to my two cousins who are on missions. We got to talk to my cousin Josh on the phone and we skyped with my cousin Taylor! It was really exciting! I was sad though that because Josh (not my cousin) is at the MTC he couldn't call or skype home. I had no need to worry though because today I received the best surprise ever... a phone call from Joshua!! He was flying to Lubbock and called me from the Dallas airport. I wasn't expecting it at all. Just hearing his voice made me cry. We only had three minutes to talk but it was just perfect.

With all of these missionaries in my life and their influence this Christmas I have been closer to the true meaning of the holiday than ever before. I am so grateful for the gospel in my life. It truly brings me so much happiness. I don't know what I would do without it. Every year hearing about the birth of Jesus give me chills.

Luke 1:1-14
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed...And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city David, which is called Bethlehem... to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men...

My favorite part of the Walker Christmas Eve party is acting out the nativity. We finish it off by singing Silent Night. You feel the spirit so strong and know that it's true.

Christmas truly is magical.

My dad took us kids to Disneyland this past weekend. It was so much fun! Disneyland at Christmas time is amazing. It's decorated so cute, some rides are festive, and the shows are all done to Christmas music. I loved it.

I came home and headed straight over to my apartment to check the mail... THREE letters from Josh! I couldn't be happier:) 

First email and first letter.

Best day ever:)

I came home on Tuesday night and Quincie had brought me ice cream and tons of sad movies. She also made me this fort. All to comfort me. We have been sleeping in the fort ever since. We brought our mattress's in and threw every blanket and pillow we have on top. It's the best, most comfy thing ever. Quincie calls it our nest. We are never sleeping in our rooms again. I have the best roommates ever.

Joshua and his dog Raspberry.

I love this.

My mom dropped me off at my apartment today after I had been home all weekend because I got my wisdom teeth out. She decided to go to work so I got to babysit my precious adorable baby brother. Yay:) He got all cuddled up on my bed and pretended to be asleep so I could take a picture.

you don't know how lovely you are

I love Coldplay. I want a boy with a beautiful voice to sing something so pretty to me.

wonderful world

I LOVE SUNDAYS.
Never really loved Sundays before, but I love this Sunday.


I'm sitting, listening to the rain and the wind in the trees, and I can't help think how amazing this world is. God must really love us to create such a beautiful world for our viewing pleasure.

Also, the sound of thunder will never cease to be my favorite thing.

these are the best memories

i WILL make this the best summer of my life.

running through sprinklers in the middle of the night
having a dance party on a round-a-bout
running from a creepy guy
having a dance party in macey's parking lot
playing a legit game of truth or dare
laying on my back in the middle of the road

last night rocked.

day six: your favorite book

Need I say more?

I LOVE Harry Potter.

I have read every book up to ten times.

When I finished the seventh book I cried.

I'm heart broken that they are over.

If I had any one wish it would be to go to Hogwarts.

I've had dreams about it.
I want a wand.
I want to fly.

My favorite characters are probably Fred and George.
They are hilarious.
I cried when Fred died. He was my favorite of the twins.

I love....
Harry
Hermione
Ron
Ginny
Dumbledore
Sirius
Hedwig
Mad Eye
Kreacher
Dobby
Fred
George
Lupin
Tonks
Mrs. Weasly
Fluer
Neville
Luna
Etc...
I love them all.

But my favorite character by far is Snape.
I just can't comprehend how amazing he is.
I sometimes open the seventh book to the chapter where Harry sees all of Snape's memories in the pensieve. It makes me cry every time.
Poor Professor Snape.

Harry Potter is just incredible.
I will never stop loving it.
Long live Harry Potter.

you've got a friend in me

day two: your best friend

Joshua

Josh is my very best friend and I hope he always will be.

He knows every thing about me and he still loves me in spite of it.

I don't deserve a best friend as good as him.

He would do anything for me.

Although I never admit it to him, he is hilarious. He can make me laugh no matter how sad I am. I love him for that.

We pretty much do everything together. Name something there is to do in Provo and we've done it together. Guaranteed.

Because we're are together so much we fight. A lot. But, that's okay because we always work it out somehow.

I love him.

My gorgeous best friend Zoe.

Zoe is a goofball. I love her.

Her favorite thing in the world is making fun of me.

I make her do my makeup all the time cause she is awesome at it.

We love having sleepovers.

Our favorite places are the hospital cafeteria and Taco Bell.

We just have so much fun together.

This picture says it all.

Me and Becca are just awesome.

We love to spy. We seriously are amazing at it.

Becca doesn't know how to stop laughing. Which always just makes me laugh. We laugh a whole lot.

We mostly love to just drive around on weekends and creep on people:)

Seriously though.

I know it's a terrible picture but I just had to do it.

This picture just sums me and Tarryn right up.

We are retarded when we get together and it is oh so much fun.

Life is so much more fun with Tarryn there to laugh at all of your dumb jokes.

We have more inside jokes than anyone else I know. Hands down.

Oh Kendal.

We met when we were little and she moved next door to me.

I thought she was annoying. She didn't like me either.

But, fate brought us together again in wolfpack an we've been best friends ever since.

We love to fight. We are constantly arguing and one time we even started throwing punches. Scaring, I know.

Kendal is a loyal friend and I know she would be there for me no matter what.

This isn't all my friends and I'm sorry I couldn't put them all up on here. But I love you all! I couldn't do it without you guys. Thanks for all that you do for me:)
