Elder C. Scott Grow - The Miracle of the Atonement

I loved this talk. I am so thankful for the atonement 
and the role it plays in my life and in the lives of others. 
I was so thankful for conference this year and for the talks
that were given. It is amazing to me that no matter what 
there is always a talk that you personally need to hear.

The Y

There are a few things you have to experience while living in Provo... I feel like I have checked most of them off the list. Yesterday, P-town decided to give us some semi-nice weather so some buddies and I got our hiking gear on and headed up to the infamous Y. Meagan warned me that it was going to be harder than I thought. I figured it was going to be a piece of cake... after all I am an expert hiker from all of our family trips to Moab. After the first switchback I was already out of breath, unreal. We eventually made it to the top and of course had to snap a few photos for facebook and of course my blog. 

Color Me Mine

So this past weekend some friends and I thought it would be a great idea to go to color me mine. For those of you who aren't familiar with this GREAT place... you go and pick out some type of pottery, plates, bowls, etc... then you paint it! I know sounds kinda lame and not that fun right? WRONG! It was so therapeutic and relaxing to just sit and paint for a couple hours, not to mention it was a great girls day out! 

Ray and Whit... Hard at work.

I have been looking for a cute jewelry plate but have had no luck... so I thought i'd try making one on my own.

I was pretty happy with the way it turned out... what do you think???

Should be sleeping. Instead i'm blogging... Shout out #3

This one goes out to my sister and best friend... Lindsey.


Lindsey (Linds, Linzers, Freak frank)- I could not have asked for a better sister. She is an amazing person and I hope that I am just like her one day. I have looked up to her since before I can remember. We are 2 very different people. She was focused on school, while I was a little more focused on boys. I will always remember the little things we did together... playing barbies, sleeping in the same bed (even though I had my own room), having her do my hair/makeup... and getting mad if it wasn't just like hers, visiting her every summer at college, and me secretly disliking Connor because he was taking my sleeping partner away. I love my sis... and it's no fun having her live across the country but I look forward to our daily phone calls to catch up and talk about my boy issues and the latest fashion and trends. She is a huge blessing in my life and I can't wait to have her in Colorado with me this summer! Thanks for always being there for me Linds... Your the best and I love you. (stop crying)


Connor- Thanks for taking care of my sister. I'm so glad she found a guy like you. I really look up you and how well you treat her. Your a great addition to the Frakes Fam. Stoked to have you guys in Colorado this summer! 

Remember when...

Is it just me or has Disney been slacking on their latest movies???  Lately I have refused to watch any disney movies, mainly because none of them appealed to me. Even with all the skuttlebutt about how great Tangled was I was still pretty hesitant to watch it. Sunday after conference, Chris finally convinced me to watch it with him. It was GREAT. It reminded me of the old disney movies... which I am a huge fan of. So it got me thinking of my 5 favs....


1. Swan Princess... The all time best disney princess. Not only is Odette the prettiest princess but the soundtrack for the movie was written by mormons. I mean you can't go wrong with songs like "Far longer than forever" or "eternity"... you just can't!
2. Fox and the Hound. Reminds me of my best friend Dougie. 
3. Anastasia... Technically I'm cheating with this one because its not a disney movie 
4. The Lion King
5. It's a tie between Sleeping Beauty and Tangled. (Tangled stole my favorite quote..."BEST DAY EVER!")
