REAL Friendship

I saw this video on Facebook, 

and the animal lover that I am, 

I had to watch it. 

When I was done, 

I had a few tears in my eyes. 

Then, I proceeded to show it 

to Jamie and Gaff and after watching 

it again, I had a couple more tears 

in my eyes. 

It is such an awesome video. 

It made me so happy. 

I hope it makes you 

HAPPY 

too! 

BEAUTY

What an awesome video. 

I just wanted to share it. 

Even if you have already 

seen it, watch it again. 

and again. 

It's a good reminder 

to not be so critical, 

harsh, or judgmental of 

ourselves. 

We are our harshest critic.

This video reminded me to 

look for the positive in 

myself.  

Bridal Bash

Seriously,

for the last three months

the thing which is most

often on my mind is

WEDDINGS.

and my mission...

Anywho,

a little bit ago,

I threw a

Bridal Shower

for Jamie.

It was pretty low key

but fun nonetheless. 

Here's the proof:

The Bride: Babe.

We had mini fruit pizzas. 

Pretty dang good. 

Wedding Weekend

You know that I'm 

SOOOO HAPPY 

feeling that just makes 

you want to cry 

and cry 

and cry. 

Yeah. 

That's how this 

weekend was. 

Holly and Landon 

were married for time 

and all eternity on 

Saturday, April 13, 2013. 

It was such an awesome 

experience. 

Holly is not only my sister, 

but my best friend. 

It's been different, handing her 

over to Landon, but I know

that she will be treated like

a queen.  

Here's a few pics of the weekend.  

6 short months

General Conference is coming up this 

weekend and it made me do some 

thinking. 

WOW. 

Has my life changed in 

6. short. months. 

First, it was BYU-Hawaii, 

then, China, 

then Mission, 

then no mission, 

then Ghana, 

now mission, 

ARGENTINA 

to be exact. 

I couldn't be more 

excited and sure about 

what I am doing

Don't believe me? 

Watch this video 

of me opening 

my call. 

Yes. It's blurry.  

But, when I read that letter, 

I knew with 10 million percent 

that this is what I was supposed

to do. 

Even More Anticipation Than Christmas.

The sleek white envelope 

came yesterday. 

When I saw it in the 

mailbox, I immediately 

ran it upstairs and stuffed 

it under my mattress 

because I wanted to 

open it right then. 

7:00 finally came. 

Friends gathered, 

and family viewed from 

various places 

thanks to the wonders  

of technology.

I was so nervous. 

I was nervous about 

my reaction. 

I was nervous about 

where I would be 

called to serve for 

18 months. 

I had no idea what 

to expect. 

I opened it up 

and read it 

line 

by 

line. 

Dear Sister Haynes, 

You are hearby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You are called to labor in the...

Argentina Rosario Mission

 

I told myself I wasn't 

going to cry. 

But, when I started 

reading it,

How could I not?

I am called to spread the 

gospel to the people of 

ARGENTINA. 

I am stoked beyond 

belief. 

I know I am supposed

to go there. 

I feel so blessed to 

be able to serve the Lord. 

I guess this face has Argentina written 

all over it. :) 

Let's create our own Spring Break yeah?

I love BYU and all but shoot, 

what was Cecil thinking when 

he didn't add a Spring Break 

into the schedule?!

Anywho, me and Jam Jam 

decided to make our own. 

We headed down to Moab 

with some of Gaff's roommates 

and friends. 

It was seriously the best. 

But, might have not been

the best thing. 

Because seriously 

all I want to do 

is hike 

in the sun 

with my Chacos.
