Happy Sabbath!

My phone fell under the bed while I was sleeping last night. I woke up and had no Idea what time it was, but It was very dark. I got my phone and the clock said something like 6:02. I was up for the day and had nothing else to do, so I stretched and went for an early morning walk. It started out as a run, but slowed to a fast walk, sped back up again, then slowed back down. It was a good and tiring run and I got home before the sun came up :) I love that. Nobody is ever out before 7, so with the exception of a couple cars, the town is either asleep, or closed on Sunday!

Church was great today! There was a baby blessing, and a conformation. I LOVE when we have to open the chapel overflow. It makes me happy when we have people visiting or people moving into the ward! We got a new sister missionary this week :) She is pretty cool from what I know of her, which isn't much, but She's on a mission, so she's got to be awesome! haha. Today was my first official Sunday in laurels. It is different. I miss my mia maid girls. I love the girls in the laurel class too though.

Yesterday I babysat Colbie and Alia for a while. They are so adorable. They have gotten so big! it's ridiculous.

Jasmine needs to go to sleep because tomorrow is the Homecoming parade after school, and after the parade I have the read through for The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. I am the assistant director! It is exciting, but it is going to be a challenge. Okay. Goodnight Doll.

Eat your veggies.

Go to sleep early.

Pray constantly.

Love Forever,

First of all, This ^^ is my view on the way to seminary every morning :) 

This week, Gina and I started waking up at 5:00, stretching, and running/walking for about 30 minutes. It has been fun so far! It is hard getting up some days, but I've been going to sleep early which is awesome! So I feel GREAT during the day! Starting off the day has been going very well. Our family recently started doing our daily family scripture out of the Teachings of Presidents of the Church book about Spencer W. Kimball. It is really effective. The beginning chapters are about our purpose on earth and death and trials and such. I really like it. So mornings go something like this:

Wake up

Stretch

Run

Fam Scripture

Seminary

School

Et Cetera.

I'd say it is a pretty successful schedule.

Yesterday at church we Tie-dyed T-shirts or socks or pillow cases, or whatever we had with us. I dyed my pillow case!!! It turned out SSOO amazing!!!! I LOVE love love it.. Check it out.

Isn't that Awesome?! :) After church, Madison and I started singing I'll follow you into the dark by Death Cab For Cutie, and as we walked around. She jokingly asked if I'd follow her into the dark and I said "Absolutely Not!" I then proceeded to make this a standard lesson about how Satan wants us to follow him into the dark and we have Christ leading us into the light. It was awesome. I told her I'd let her follow me into the light :)

Heidi wants me to write about her. Soo... Heidi is sitting beside me and she thinks boys are stupid. But only SOME boys are stupid... See, There are some boys who have no respect for some girls. BUT girls with common sense don't like guys like that! They like guys that treat them like the Beautiful daughter of God that they are! So, if you're a girl.. Those guys exist and they are Amazing. If you're a dude.. Be one of those guys! 

Saturday was Super Saturday and we went to the beach!  It was fun and cold, but I went swimming anyway! For those of you who know me well, this shouldn't come as a surprise. :) Everyone who didn't swim said it was Really boring. lol. They had awesome veggie burgers though. They didn't have hamburger buns, so I used  hot dog buns instead. Woot. (I don't eat cow btw)

This is the Awesome pic of the Cool kidz at our table! :) We all look silly.

I love all of them a bunch times a billion :D 

Okay! So, My alarm clock broke right before school started. I told my pretty spiffy friend Krissy about this unfortunate happening and she informed me of this giant ticking alarm clock that she does not use because of the vexasious-ness of the ticking. :) So she offered it to me, and me being without an alarm clock and fascinated by the enormity of it, plus the bells!, I had to accept :) Here's a picture!!

I do believe it was actually 11:14pm and 36 seconds when that picture was taken! Why was I up that late?! hehe. Another amazing fact: Charlieissocoollike= AMAZING! I <3 Charlie Mcdonnell.Go to youtube and look him up if you didn't tell me about him :) He is cool...like.

You know what else is cool?! Glee started yesterday!!!!! I still haven't seen the season 3 premiere episode, but it is next on my video watching list for the day! Woot!! 

Homecoming is next week. It should be pretty cool. The band is going to play for the HC court. Because we're AWESOME! ...Well, we're getting there. I am now going to depart from the blogosphere for the time being and go make Macaroni and CHEESE and Jonathan is going to come over. Yay for food and friends!

Ps:

Emily says Hello!!

Remember:

You are a beautiful child of God!

Jasmine Loves you a lot.

Stay away from 7, cause she might eat you.

<3 Forever,

Miss Jasmine G. Libby

I Love The Gospel & My BFFs

So, I had a birthday party about a week and a half ago because I'm behind in my posting :) It was so fun! I had a bunch of friends there and got some pretty cool stuff. like this elephant!!

And this hat that I put on my daddy. My friend RAR Jean Jean made it for me!! :)

Best part of the month by far was the temple trip! We had to wake up at early o'clock though.

This was on our way to the church. Totally worth 4 hours of sleep though!

Me and Gina

 My Darling Logan Eason

 My Eason babies' last official temple trip with the G2 Youth.

I love them SO much

There is no describing the spirit that is felt doing baptisms for people who actually lived on the earth and after a hundred years of being taught are now starting their journey. It is amazing to me and I feel honored to be able to do this work for them :)

Logan, who is Madison's sister, and the greatest girl on the planet, has autism and she barely wanted to get baptized at her own baptism. The time before this trip she did one baptism and that was a big deal because she had only ever done conformations, but THIS time she did 10 baptisms!!! It was amazing!!! I was so proud of her! She is grand! I want a seat right next to her in heaven. <3

Collard festival was this weekend and I skipped the parade to go to the temple, which was a pretty biggy d cause I'm the drum major. But IT WAS WORTH IT! I wouldn't have missed it for anything. So, Collard Festival. The Martin McDaniel Band was playing saturday night, down town. They are amazing. Madison and I were there awesome crazy stalker fans that yelled "WE LOVE YOU!!" every 5 minutes. :) After they finished playing we went up and met them and they all signed Chuckles' (The drummer's name is Chuck and Drew, the bass player called him chuckles :)) drumstick. We let Madi take it because she was about to move. It was SO fun though.

It didn't hit me at all that my dearest friend was moving until Sunday night when they had departed in to the vast world of roads to Virginia. Then the tears came. But, my friends are the best I could ever wish for. I will always be close to them and, in the not so famous words of Regina Spektor, there's "no need to say goodbye."

Unfortunately, there is a need to say goodbye because I have a test tomorrow so I need to go to sleep soon. :) Oh! There is no seminary tomorrow! :( I love seminary! The Old Testament is a VERY cool book. Full of these crazy stories and amazing ideas. I was surprised to find out how little I knew about this one book. Every day is a new adventure in the world of the scriptures! And I will close with that.

Appreciate your friends,

Tell your mommy you love her,

Read the scriptures every day.

All My Love,

A Chapel Filled With The Music Of Children

Hello There!! Today, in sacrament meeting, The entire Walker/ Edwards clan filled the chapel. There were tiny children crying and running around and shaking rattles. It was GREAT!! :) It is probably one of the greatest most simple things, to have a congregation full of crying children. But I love it. We opened sacrament with me and mom singing How Great Thou Art for prelude. It was really good. The congregation sung the opening hymn and with the chapel filled, it sounded like a concourse of angels! It was So beautiful.
Then Thomas was blessed... I do believe that it was one of the sweetest baby blessings I have ever heard. I felt like it was heavenly father talking to me, and it is amazing how someone so tiny can have such colossal eternal blessings promised them. It was definitely a testimony boost.

In other news:
 Yesterday was my Uncle Steve's birthday!!!! Along with a bunch of other people.. But he is the most important. :) He is the greatest guy ever, next to my daddy. He is super smart and funny and just Awesome!! I love him. 

Also... My birthday was Thursday :) On Wednesday night I went to Dad's house for my pre-birthday dinner. We had awesome chicken taco/burrito/wrap things that we make a lot :) They are SSOOO Good. Then we made Peach Cobbler!!! It is SOO Amazing!! I just love it so much. And with vanilla ice cream to top it off.... Oh. My. Gosh! It is heavenly.

For my actual birthday I went to school and had a typical day and Mom picked me up and gave me a happy birthday balloon!! Later, Jonathan came over and we went and picked up Madison and went to the BEST place in my world to this point. lol. CHEDDAR'S!!!!! J'adore Cheddar's!!! Mommy got me a present and a red velvet cake that we ate for dessert in the restaurant :) We gave our waitress a slice :D She loved it!! Red Velvet cake is her favorite too! She was cool. When she first got to our table she looked like she was having a terrible day!! But we made her smile and it was amazing! I love my friends so much!
I got home and was feeling a little blahh because the car ride went south, but music always calms me down. I walked in my room and looked at my keyboard and wished I could play piano well. Since I can't I picked up my flute, because I can play that well, and I played through some hymns. Music has so much power! It completely changed my mood.

Another amazing girl got to spend some time with me today! Devin Finney!!! She is so amazing! We talked about her adventures at NCSSM With all the Asian nerds ;) But I'm glad she's having a great time!
Me and her... she and I... We two, made pineapple [temporarily] upside down cake and Peach Cobbler with fresh peaches!!! It was tres magnifique!!And now Devin has something to make her roommate for her birthday :D YAY!!!
 This post is WAY out of order, but I hope you can follow along.

Last night I was sitting in bed with this new 12X18 sketchbook, and large pack of twistables that I got at Walmart. I was doodling and just drawing random things like shoes, when this Brilliant idea came to me for a picture that I simply have to draw!!! A newly wedded couple standing hand in hand with the salt lake temple in the distance between their shoulders. I wasn't sure if I could do that, but It was a picture well worth the challenge. I started on a basic outline, which turned into an official rough draft.

Tomorrow is my birthday partyy!!! It will be a ton of fun!! I am so excited to have everybody come over!! I'll post more about that later.

Party hard!! Don't let the bed bugs bite!!
All My Love,
~Jasmine~
