United States Armed Forces Medley
One of my favorite things to listen to is the Armed Forces Medley of the United States. I love it when it's played at an event and all the veterans of the different forces are invited to stand and be honored. My heart is filled with excitement as the crowd claps and cheers.
My favorite experience to date, is when I was at the Castle Valley Pageant in Castle Dale, Utah. The pagent started with this medley. Riders on majestic horses galloped across the stage area carrying the different flags of the different forces. It was stunning!
It's Veterans Day this week. I'm so thankful for the sacrifices of so many to protect our precious freedoms. This is my small way to honor and thank them. I love America!

What's Glee?
I keep seeing references to a show called "Glee"? in the blogs I read. What is it? I've never heard of it. Maybe, it's because I typically watch re-runs of Perry Mason, I Love Lucy, or My Three Sons, on KBYU at night, the Disney Channel, the 10:00 news, Monk, or Psych.

Ralphie's Jammies
I don't know if I'm trying to return to my childhood, or if it's the cold weather...but I've felt driven to find myself some footed pajamas. In my recent searching, I came across this website. I'm in love with these pajamas, there's only one problem, they cost a fortune.
I would feel horribly wasteful if I bought them with my regular income, so I've decided to try and find some additional work I can do to earn them. Recently I was advised by one of my teachers to use my resources to acquire good experiences (which become a part of you), rather than more "stuff" that collects dust and ends up in the landfill.
If I do some extra work to earn these pajamas, I see it as a potential "best of both worlds" outcome. I would get the good experience of working harder for something extra that I want, plus the experience of wearing the jammies (they make a great costume too). I only hope they are of good craftsmanship, I don't want them wearing out too soon and ending up in the landfill.

Lifting Burdens
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has recently started posting brief messages of hope, encouragement, and inspiration on on their Home Page via YouTube. I enjoy hearing these messages. I've shared some of their previous ones on my blog. Here's another...This is definitely a message for all...For we all need Him.

I am so thankful for my knowledge of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. Trust in Him and BELIEVE!

Brush Your Teeth Everyday
I had just finished saying that I was going to go brush my teeth when I heard my niece say this. I think she heard the saying from the movie “Kung-Fu Panda,” but I’m not sure. I just thought it was adorable, so I had her say it for the camera.
