Can we all just stare at how beautiful this is?
It’s an Osiria rose, a type of Hybrid Tea rose.
A beautiful rose for sure, but please keep in mind that these roses do not have such a deep red/pure white color contrast naturally. It’s more like Deep red/pink white. This photo is heavily edited to eliminate the pink.

what was the activity?
It was kickball - at a randomly chosen location
So, trying to get the the FHE activity from the church, several people are driving so I follow them. After, we’re supposed to head back to the church for refreshments. I get in my car to go back the exact way I came and what do you know? Everyone else was going in the opposite direction! Whatever, I can just follow the same route home, I remember it was a turn left here, then a left… right…wait. left? no… i was going north before
…
O sweet merciful buffet, I’m lost
…
Quick! Activate the scouter senses. The sun is setting… that is west. The road I’m on? That is the the avenue before the shopping one. LOGICAL PEOPLE PREVAIL! *begins travel*
*travelling*
*travelling*
…
I do not remember the church ever being near warehouses. Shoot.
Fast forward 15 minutes and I make it to the church just in time to snatch the last piece of watermelon out of my bishop’s hand and then own at the wall sit competition. Life is grand :D
Grab a sheet of paper and a writing utensil
Write just 10 things you are concerned about
Then shred them, burn them, or mail them to a country that doesn’t speak your language and you looked up the address on google maps.
Feel better
(sounds like a plan to me)
“It’s weird that in our culture, for some reason, marriage is something thrust upon women. Like, boys get to spend six months deciding if they want to get married, but then the girl only has, like, ten seconds to say ‘yes’ or ‘no?’”— John Green (via renkris)
Dear John Green,
What are you? A lunatic stalker? Have you ever heard of courtship? Well it appears you haven’t, so this is how it goes.
1. MEET : Guy and Girl become aware of eachother’s existence.
2. REALIZE : They discover mental and/or physical attraction.
3. FIND COMMON GROUND : Those lips aren’t just for telling people what you ate last. Guy, tell Girl a LITTLE about yourself (we’re sure that won’t be a problem) and then find a LOT about her. Girl tell Guy about yourself, or slam -proverbial- door in his face and walk away (however please break it to us gently, we’re delicate creatures).
4. USE COMMON GROUND : Guy, here is your quiz, were you taking notes? Girl, please mark the quiz.
(this means an extension of further social contact has been extended and accepted or denied)
5. SOCIAL CONTACT : Guy and Girl go to a place and do something they both like. They both tell each other more about themselves and listen about each other, Guy hands Girl another quiz and then she marks it. Girl makes progressively harder quiz and will likely transition from true/false questions to essay questions fairly quickly. Stay sharp Guy.
6. REPEAT STEP 5 : (Must I write anything here?) Continue step 5 until step 7, average untested time frame? 1-2 years.
7. DOODLES : At one point in the relationship, Guy hands in his quiz, and Girl goes to mark it then hands it back. Whether Girl or Guy drew the doodly hearts in the margin or the secret messages and codes at the bottom has yet to be determined. Do steps 5-7 until step 8.
8. PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS: Okay SOMEONE drew those and it wasn’t you. After assuring yourself their are no deranged serial killers in the area, ex boyfriends/girlfriends, and that some 7 year old girls have not intercepted your mail, begin to decipher the secret codes Guy. The codes should either say “Help you’re stifling me and I do not like you”, or “We should do this for a lot longer than indefinitely”. Other possible codes could be but are not limited to “Go fall on your head and send me a picture so I can claim the life insurance”, “OMISQUEE GUY X IS SOOOOOOOO HAWT!!!!” (<—- can sometimes be disregarded), and “Indefinitely is good” (<—- this can be problematic). Girl, please feel free to make codes as secret or as not secret as you please.
9. FILL OUT THE PERMISSION FORMS : Guy, if the Girl has a parent or guardian with understanding, you by now have met them. If you have not met them please go back to step 5, you did it wrong. Otherwise fill out the appropriate permission form and have it signed by them.
10. ULTIMATE CODE BREAKER Guy, now is the time to use the secret codes to determine location, ring size (not always applicable; this is a field on the permission slip by the way), and set up plans. Then get into the appropriate proposal position as determined by your cultural heritage, current location, and how rebellious you are. Pull out token of engagement (told it wasn’t always a ring) and ask her to spend rest of her life/all of eternity with you.
11. FOR THE GIRL : If you agree say yes, proceed to step 12. If you don’t; say no, refuse his token of engagement, and explain how he got the codes wrong your choice to go to step 5 OR step 3.
12. 
There we are John Green, if you don’t stalk the woman you love and then jump out of a bush and propose, you’ll have given her an awful lot more time than 10 seconds. /rage

Katy Perry’s “E.T.” vocals over the Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby.” Pure sacrilege, so naturally I love it.

We were learning about Christ’s resurrection. The teacher mentioned how when she first joined the church, she wore a necklace with a cross around it. A member approached her and asked, “Why are you wearing that cross?” Confused, she answered, “I was raised in a Baptist church and have always been taught to revere the cross.” The member wrinkled her nose and asked,“If your son was shot would you want people to dip a gun in gold and wear it around their neck?”
I never thought of it that way. Definitely not going to wear a cross or iconize it.
This is a great way of explaining why Latter-Day Saints don’t usually wear crosses, and our buildings use other images (such as Jesus after the resurrection) in the decor.
Great way of explaining it, but it sounds so rude the way she put it :P
elledotheart asked: D: Mortal color enemy?!
Indeed! Everywhere you go, ima be the ninja that changes ALL the colors ever so slightly that no one with regular vision will notice… but WE’LL notice! You will constantly question the colors, always the colors; double, triple, QUADRUPLE crossing your own decisions on hue, saturation and value! Then one day, seemingly out of the blue, someone will ask you “What’s your favorite color?” and you will not know. Your brain will have NO idea. Then I win and we can go back to being friends, deal :D?
I got a 23
