Top 10 Fashion Mistakes Women Make and Simple Changes To Fix Them

I read this article on MSN this morning and thought it was so classic with some great humor in it too.  I think we all make some mistakes and who doesn't prefer comfort over something stuffy?!
Here is the full article:  10 Fashion Mistakes

Shopping in Juniors


If you’ve successfully completed puberty, it’s time to stop shopping in the department meant for teens and pre-teens. You can listen to Greenday, the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus on your iPod. You can even watch re-runs of American Pie. But when you put on a skirt with an odd number for a size it will never ever fit you and you will look older than you really are. Move over to the missy department for better fit and quality-made clothing.

Blackhawk Down

I have been at my new job for 7 months now and I am loving what I do more and more.  I have a great college to represent and I truly believe in the work they do.  For me, it's not just a job but a career.  I have truly been blessed to have this opportunity to do some that I love, that I can grow with, and that I truly believe in.  As a part of my responsibilities, I advise and counsel students.  I have 11 departments that I cover and over 30 majors and minors, plus a Master's degree.  I have tried really hard to be involved in everything they do and support all the programs.  One of the programs that hasn't had much support from previous advisor's is Military Science (the Army, Air Force, and Navy.) 

I have several family members who are a part of the military and I have great pride in the service they are providing us as Americans.  I have reached out to the Military Science department and worked with them in making sure each officer is given the best information and advice in completing their degree and I have seen a great outcome from it.

As a thank you, they took me up in the air! 


For anyone interested, these are the Army's Blackhawk UH-60 helicopters.  They are used for tactical and utility transport.  Each one can hold up to 11 troops with equipment and 4 crew members.

Happy Birthday Dad!

A week ago it was my Dad's birthday.  My mom, sister, and I threw him a surprise birthday party and invited all of the family.  We planned it for weeks in advance and when the day came, he still had no idea!  It turned out great and it was so much fun to see all those that love and appreciate him turn out to show him.  For the big birthday, he is getting a nice gun to go shooting with all the manly men!  Steven, Elder Marble, wasn't there but we had him write a special letter to Dad for his birthday, he was greatly missed.
