Made me think of my Momma Dearest

Elder M. Russel Ballard gave great advice when he said, "And so, my dear young women, with all my heart I urge you not to look to contemporary culture for your role models and mentors. Please look to your faithful mothers for a pattern to follow. Model yourselves after them, not after celebrities whose standards are not the Lord’s standards and whose values may not reflect an eternal perspective. Look to your mother. Learn from her strengths, her courage, and her faithfulness. Listen to her. She may not be a whiz at texting; she may not even have a Facebook page. But when it comes to matters of the heart and the things of the Lord, she has a wealth of knowledge. As you approach the time for marriage and young motherhood, she will be your greatest source of wisdom. No other person on earth loves you in the same way or is willing to sacrifice as much to encourage you and help you find happiness—in this life and forever.Love your mother, my young sisters. Respect her. Listen to her. Trust her. She has your best interests at heart. She cares about your eternal safety and happiness. So be kind to her. Be patient with her imperfections, for she has them. We all do."

My New Background

You guys see this new background, right? I know you're seeing it. And you're probably wondering, "How does this completely unrelated background relate to anything in Tiff's life?" Two words my people, "wishful thinking." Run with it.

"Paradigm Shift"...Read Warning before watching...

This is crazy but cool... *CAUTION: Watch with a box of kleenex close by, as this video may cause you to swim in your own tears. But you still gotta watch it.

MWUAHAHAHAHA WALMART

OK SO.. This is by far the creepest bunny...thing.. I've ever come in contact with.. And that's one of my best friends (Sandra) by "it." ("IT" being the creepy bunny type thing.) This wasn't taken on Halloween.. Like a week after..ish.. So the story is: "It" was chasing us and we ran to the car.. And then we were sitting in the car and we were like..."No one will believe us...".. So we got out of the car and were like "heeey can we get a picture?" And "it" didn't like that but still said "yes." And Sandra was like "Smile." And "it" was like "I AM!!!!!!!".. Not only is "it" ugly, but "it"'s angry too.

"I got super glue in my eye" Parody (Read directions below to see whole video)

For some reason it cuts off half the video, but if you click on the video, it should open another window where you can see the whole video, instead of half of someone's face.

These are some guys at BYUI. Actually met them while in Logan, because they're friends with my cool roommate. They are like video something songwriter majors.. They wrote this song and they made the video about a true story. They are super funny guys, and they think up random stuff to do (like pour cereal all over the floor) out of nowhere, and then they do it while acting serious.. It's talent really.

CHEM-A Balloon vs liquid Nitrogen

This is an example of the ideal gas law.. It's like four or five laws all smooshed into one. When cold, the balloon freezes and shrinks (in little words, that's what happens) then when it gets back to room temperature it starts to expand back to regular size again due the the pressure of the gas from the inside.. Basically, or it just looks cool and that's why it's on here.

CHEM IS AWESOME

Brother Ruebush is way smart. He decided to blow up stuff for us. He filled balloons with Oxygen gas, Hydrogen gas, and then a mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen gases called Hydroxide. Then he lit them on fire with his sweet Chem reaching stick. I've concluded that only the best of the best have Chem reaching sticks.

Soccer Madness

Injuries, I blame the US for being so awesome in the World Cup. I wanna be awesome too... It was boys vs girls, and yes we won. 3-1.

College Exposure

You know how on college campuses you always seem to be exposed to some odd thing. For some colleges it's a crazy preacher guy, or an enviromentalists waving around a box of kittens. Here at BYU-I things are typically tamer. So this is all we get. It's a video that teaches English while you exercise.. Interesting.

FHE Picture Scavenger Hunt

Tight Squeeze!


They made us run to the top of the stadium. It looks a lot smaller in the picture.


This jump was lethal. Many a people almost lost their lives shooting this.


NO! SERIOUS!?


Animal Museum... Lots of Rawr/Grr going on.


Reading in the library... This is how I read..



Will You Marry Me?? This is a stranger, but he was awesome. You can kinda see everyone in the background staring at us. That's because that dude on the left with his camera was yelling "WHOA WHOA! LOOK! LOOK AT THIS!" Pretty much a whole ward that wasn't mine got to watch the proposal. He said yes though. I get points for that right??

NCSU-Centennial Campus

Landscapes between ID and NV

Beautiful by Eminem

I remember Mom always talking about other people's lives, and how she wondered what they went through. Also it's a good song that talks about not worrying about what other people think about you. We should be the best person we can be, and be 'one tough act to follow.'

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Mom we love you so much, and we hope you enjoyed the blast to the past.

Great Salt Lake City Temple View

It's hard to see in the picture, but from this hill you can see four different temples in and around Salt Lake City.

Blog Revived..

Ok, so I know I'm way behind.. But here are some pictures from being in Salt Lake anyway. I only had my phone camera, so they aren't the best, but they're fine. For some reason I was always pointing the camera away from the people, and towards some "view." So I guess I can't show how the people from Mexico City wore thick jackets and scarves in the middle of July.. Or how the Japan kids really do have seperated spiky hair.. Or how the Russians used sooo much hair gel, they could walk through a monsoon and still look fresh from the catwalk.. Crap, but it's ok..

Next week is Mother's Day right??? Oh who cares, everyday should be Mother's day.

I think we all know how true this is and how grateful and blessed we are to have the Mom we do. She's done so much for us over the years.
-Cleaned up our messes all growing up (Another spill, WHY!?)
-Kept our house "immaculately" clean, and oh so stylish (Think "Focal Point")
-Always had good food on the table (Pass the enchiladas!!!!!!!!!! ...Please)
-Got us to finish high school (Just do the math, come on, you're almost done)
-Bought us things we really didn't need (Are you SURE you want Hamster-leg Barbie???)
-Taught us the important things (Let's read scriptures. Be nice to -enter name here-)
-Let go of the unimportant stuff (Just don't ride with Maya on a leash ever again)
The list goes on. I know we all think it and just never get around to finding the right time to bring it up. Here's to Momma and AAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the everyday things she does for us. We love you!
