{An evening at the Governor's Mansion}

This year me and a select few friends were invited to a Christmas party at the Governor's mansion. It was amazing! It was a black tie event.... catered dinner, photographer, performers and singers... The Governor read us 'Twas the night before Christmas', and then a Dj and dancing to finish off the evening! This is how a Christmas party is supposed to be!! Thanks for the invite Brian!! xoxox

Quotes and Lyrics

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, he became a butterfly.

"Therefore, how can you and I really expect to glide naively through life as if to say, 'Lord give me experience but
not grief, not sorrow, not pain, not opposition, not betrayal, and certainly not to be forsaken. Keep from me Lord all those experiences which made Thee what Thou art? Then, let me come and dwell with Thee and fully share Thy joy!'
Neal A Maxwell.

"If I really felt like my spirit was distorted, I should simply fix it, purge it, make it perfect, because there is no other task in our entire lives that would be more worthwhile."

- Carlos Castaneda

"Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to God"

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

-Plato
