Well, that happened to me last night. I've tried this style before after seeing <a href="http://writingrainbows.blogspot.com/">Ashley's</a> tutorial but it didn't stay/turn out right because I had slightly straightened my hair before hand. This time I decided to try it again with just my natural hair (which used to kinda do this on its own but somehow decided to stop). I love how it turned out! Next time I get my hands on a slightly bigger curling iron I'll for sure try it again (mine's only maybe 1 inch).<br />

I spray each curled section with hair spray as soon as I've curled it so that way it stays. I absolutely love Dove Damage Therapy Extra Hold Hairspray- because it doesn't have that awful strong hairspray smell and it has a super light formula that dries quickly but doesn't leave your hair stiff or sticky. Its almost like not even having hairspray in your hair at all. Its glorious.<br />

After I'm all done I usually shake it out a bit so it looks more natural. I even slept on it last night and it still looked good today! </div>Sonja Lisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424166978393083524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283767499566334137.post-45339561630753136222011-06-14T15:37:00.000-07:002011-06-14T15:37:49.437-07:00you are the smile to my face<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

so these pictures are actually from sunday. tricky huh? I just haven't uploaded the pics my lovely mother took of me today in the fabulous outfit i wore to my interview. And oh, I rocked it by the way (the outfit and the interview, of course). And these ones were actually taken by my sister with my f/1.8 lens...I was trying to teach her how to use it and she didn't do too shabby.<br />
<br />
Now, for your amusement I would like to share a joke my 8 year old little brother made up and shared with my sister and I at the dinner table this evening as we were munching away on taco salad. He said:<br />
<br />
"Two men were sitting and talking, but one of them said, 'I have to go home and do some work.' Then the other one said 'What kind of work?' 'Homework, of course!'"<br />
<br />
Get it?<br />
<br />
We busted up and were giggling like the little goofs we all are.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> And oh, your dose of cuteness for the day (or errr....night): </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">hello. I'm back! before I say absolutely anything else, look at my sister's face!!!!! isn't she just too gorgeous for her own good? Yeah, I think so too. I'm taking her senior pictures and letting her be one of my senior reps and this was a little trial shoot we did the other night when our family decided to go over to the park before it got dark. and i used my new lens (oh and camera too, by the way. but the lens is even newer)! I'm just a little bit in l.o.v.e with it. see more on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/fbx/?set=a.10150159630209877.313178.271344029876">facebook</a> or on my <a href="http://www.sonjalisephotography.blogspot.com/">business blog</a>. and oh i'm shooting my first wedding on friday! happy happy! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm not going to say much else but that only now in this moment have I really felt like blogging. My life has been such a whirlwind lately, and although I hate sounding like a complainer but I seriously need some kind of outlet besides blabbing off the ear of my mother or one of my best friends! So I'm sorry. But I also kind of want to take this opportunity to express my love for my life, blessings, and the Gospel. So maybe instead of sounding like I'm whining, I'll inspire whoever else happens to stumble upon this little blog. I think thats something I want to be able to do here. (I'm also too hard on myself and that needs to change but we don't have to talk about that I suppose).<br />
<br />
Today I realized many things. Risa's (refer to below post) sister Railee, who is equal in best friend-ness as Risa or possibly more since I've had the chance to be around Railee more and I met her first, texted me this morning (well...it was more like 11:30) while I was still in bed and sweetly asked if she could head over to my house in a few minutes. We talked for hours. It's been a couple weeks since Risa's passing and it was a relief I think for the both of us but definitely for me for us to sit and talk. Rai told me so much about her experiences with Risa and especially of her last experiences with Risa and I think it was able to give me a little bit of the closure I so very much need. There is nothing like losing someone. But, I heard Elder Holland say in a BYU-I devotional from back in 1998 called "Christmas Comfort" (I had to listen to it for a final project for one of my classes this last semester, you can search for it by going <a href="http://web.byui.edu/DevotionalsAndSpeeches/speeches.aspx">here</a>) that "no one can truly experience real love if they have never experienced real loss." I cannot tell you how right he is. He also said that temporary separation at death is just one of the prices we have to pay for love in this world, and that "we can't rejoice over the joy of one's birth and living, unless we are prepared, and understand, and accommodate with some grace, the inevitability, including the untimeliness on occasion, of difficulty, and trouble, and death." Lets just say that this Easter will be very special for me and the people around me. Risa's funeral is on saturday and I am looking forward to the peace it will bring me. Does that make sense? I hope so. Excuse me for taking up so much of this post. I can't help it.<br />
<br />
It's been harder to readjust to life at home and in a family again (oh byu-idaho and your three-track system) especially with the stresses I'm supposed to be letting go off, (and while having some roommate withdrawals) than i thought it would be. But that's okay. I have people who love me and that's all that matters.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I've been thinking about how to use this blog lately, and how to get more followers/readers, and if that's really important to me or not. All I want to do is bring some sunshine into other people's days, and find a way for me to be an over-all better person. So I think I will use this to post outfit pictures here and there to make sure I actually look presentable, to share photos of the simple things in my life so I appreciate them more, to share inspiring thoughts so my heart stays happy, and to maybe even possibly share recipes or writings or cute ideas of mine, etc. so I don't just sit here on my bum all day. </span><br />

I found out last wednesday that her liver is failing, and she was given no more than a week to live. And by now she only has a couple of days left, if anything. She has even gotten so far to the point where she cannot communicate or necessarily understand words spoken to her.<br />
<br />
This girl has changed my life. not only has she been a faithful friend for years, but the guiding light that she is has opened my eyes. She has made me fall in love with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and changed my entire outlook on life. And not only is she ridiculously strong, but so is her family. They are valiant soldiers. And such good examples to me. I am now more thankful than ever for the knowledge of eternity that I have.<br />
<br />
Prayers for me, but especially prayers for her and her family would be so very much appreciated right now. Thank you for your kind hearts.<br />
<br />
mucho love.</div>Sonja Lisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424166978393083524noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283767499566334137.post-38238346224568301862011-03-20T19:20:00.000-07:002011-03-20T19:25:41.222-07:00little things<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>forgive me. it has definitely been a while. but its not my fault! the last few weeks before the end of the semester are always super crazy for me. so i've kind of told myself that i'm not going to be able to do much blogging until i get back home. oregon, you are so close yet so far!! :(<br />
<br />
anyways, i just took this picture like 5 minutes ago. i wanted to show you all one of the simple little things in life that make me really happy. bright red nail polish! seriously there is just something about it that makes me smile. and it also makes me feel pretty. i got this stuff from broulims for like, $1 something.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3MQlK5slXrDoCoU5IUtAei4TjGiKkRfaNQ4WriTZ17wcXvKRc5-pZSD3lmEcUE88EvUmV3QdICs0zxLBu5uqve_CokTC5Y_PIhApvlI2O1DiQRJ9JgwNslldntfVsj_pQT_z6_sdo3RY5/s1600/Photo+on+2011-03-20+at+19.39+%25232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3MQlK5slXrDoCoU5IUtAei4TjGiKkRfaNQ4WriTZ17wcXvKRc5-pZSD3lmEcUE88EvUmV3QdICs0zxLBu5uqve_CokTC5Y_PIhApvlI2O1DiQRJ9JgwNslldntfVsj_pQT_z6_sdo3RY5/s400/Photo+on+2011-03-20+at+19.39+%25232.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
also a couple more little things that make me happy: 1. singing hymns, 2. watching like three...or four...movies all in one day with my roommates because its saturday and just because we can (which may or may not have happened yesterday), 3. orange slices. the candy kind, not the fruit kind, 4. crest vanilla mint toothpaste, 5. anything coconut, 6. bubble tea! 7. camping, 8. kisses from my little sister, liddy. yep. that sums most of it up.<br />
<br />
and oh hey...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">today was good. i got a good amount accomplished!!! i slept in until the glorious time of 12:30 in the afternoon, worked on my video package for my intro to journalism class (huh, do i seem to talk about that class a lot or is it just me? well i get the most homework in that class), chilled out, and went to extravadance! it was nice to be able to actually concentrate on and watch the dances this time. the lovely <a href="http://brooklynnwonderful.blogspot.com/">brooke</a> took my outfit pictures today! i took a few of her too, those might show up here sometime soon :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">my heart has been touched in so many ways this week. the earthquake in japan has not only kept me up worrying about friends and family but has brought so many realizations to my attention. i realize how important my family is to me. and i also realize how much of a hand God has in our lives, in my life. but the biggest thing i have gotten out of it is that i now TRULY and wholeheartedly know that i am on the right path. i am meant to be a journalist. no matter how terrible the effects of the earthquake are and how dangerous it might be, i have the strongest desire to be there covering it all. somehow, i feel like i could make some kind of a difference that way. </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">alfkghlakhalaaa. that's the noise i just made. today....has been....just meh. not terrible, but not fabulous. lets just say its definitely monday. i had to present in my intro to journalism class today and was 20 minutes late because i procrastinated and then had a printer problem and i was going crazy. the i can't breathe i'm gonna bang my head against my computer kind of crazy. which actually happens almost daily. so nbd. also, right after i was done with my presentation and sat down in my desk, i noticed blood on my paper. i looked at my right thumb thinking it was coming from the hang nail i currently have there but that wasn't the source! it was my left thumb! and i had to wait until the presentation after me was finished to go to the bathroom and help my poor little thumb :( and it KEPT bleeding for a while. sorry if that grossed any of you out. but i now have a cute bright purple bandaid on my thumb. anyways. it was so nice in rexburg this morning, the sun was out and i could actually feel WARMTH! but now its all dreary outside. i want the sun to come back! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">little secret about me: i used to DETEST the thought of tucking in shirts. but now its not so bad. huh. and excuse my funky poses at the top...i've found its way difficult to pose myself and make sure my roommate kirsten is taking the picture...since she knows nothing really about photography (bless her heart) but its quicker than a tripod and i love her! you are so darling kirsten and i've gotten so used to your jumping up in bed and mumbling something that i always ignore whenever i come into our bedroom late at night. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">secret number two: (even though its probably not really a secret, since its pretty obvious) that piece of hair in front of my face= annoying. i want to cut it. but i can't. i'm trying to grow my bangs out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">anyways, thank goodness its friday. i'm so happy. AND i get to go to the temple tomorrow! it is going to be so worth waking up at the crack of dawn for. i have a lot of things i need to think about and i need to clear my head. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">another little secret: i have a tiny guilty pleasure, if you'd call it that...haha. i love reading the blogs of cute married couples. i love all the adorable little stories and stuff. sometimes it awfully depresses me, because i want that for myself so bad...someone to love for eternity who i KNOW loves me. who i don't have to worry about trusting. but most of the times it just makes me smile because i know it really isn't that far off for me AT ALL. is it weird that i know that even though i don't really have any prospects right now? hmm well i don't care. all i care about right now is my relationship with my Heavenly Father. which i am so entirely grateful for. </div></div>Sonja Lisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424166978393083524noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283767499566334137.post-21158071332497773252011-03-03T00:05:00.000-08:002011-03-03T00:07:28.840-08:00"if there is no struggle, there is no progress." -frederick douglas<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">-disclaimer- this blog has been revamped!!! yay! i'm pretty excited. i have a new name, new design, new new new!! change is good. plus, i'm trying to enter the blog world more, since so much emphasis has been put on it in all my journalism classes. so we'll see how it goes. you'll be seeing a whole lot more posts from me...probably not every day but at least a couple times a week.<br />
<br />
annnnd...i love love love looking at fashion blogs so i'm going to try to do some of that myself too. i mean, most days i just throw on jeans and a hoodie (along with some kind of parka...haha...kidding...) before class, but i do have those days where i try to look particularly cute. and looking cute makes you feel good. so i'm gonna do it more often.<br />
<br />
heres what i looked like today:<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">okay so heres the deal. i love shopping at ross dress for less. its my favorite place. just because the clothes can be so cheap. so the majority of my stuff is from there. but. rexburg doesn't have one. the nearest is IF. sooo i enjoy finding little boutiques around rexburg that aren't too bad, actually. the most recent one is mila couture...where i got the green lace shirt. guess how much i got it for. did you guess $1.05? i bet you didn't. well thats how much it cost me. yeah, amazing, i know. its because mila is not only a boutique with new stuff, but they have a downstairs which they call a "fashion exchange". you can bring in your old clothes or simply just clothes you don't want anymore and they will buy them from you for cash or store credit. and that, my friends, is the story of how i ended up spending a buck oh five on a brand new shirt.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">anyyyywhoo...the semester has been pretty....cruddy so far. but i'll spare you the nasty details and just say that my life is now in turn going in a hopefully, fantastic direction. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

These are all the things that made my Christmas happy. well, there were many more, but i had the best Christmas EVER. emphasis on the EVER. i'm so thankful for all i have. such a great Christmas gave me a boost to tackle on this crazy new semester. lets hope it was enough :)Sonja Lisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424166978393083524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283767499566334137.post-5955481246913134722010-11-26T23:11:00.000-08:002010-11-27T21:24:11.554-08:00i don't want a lot for christmas, there is just one thing i needwell hey there. we all now know that sonja is <em>officially</em> the worst blogger in the history of blogging, but she doesn't really care, she's gonna blog anyways. and will eventually get better at it and will have thousands of readers someday. promise. and yes, talking in third person is the new cool thing to do. :) <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">anyways! since i suck at blogging and haven't really blogged all semester, i figure theres no point really in talking about whats happened and all, just that its been really really long and difficult. but, i'm deciding to look past that and get excited for the new semester just around the corner! i just have to survive through a couple more weeks of class and finals, then i'll be <em>freeeeee</em> for christmas break! which brings me to the whole meaning of this post....my christmas list!!! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">now, i'm serious, there really is only one thing i really need for christmas. all the other things i just want, and could live without. probably. haha. i've had to go through three semesters of college with a computer that barely even works sometimes. and i'm afraid the old thing is at the end of its rope. most of the times i just wanna throw it off my apartment's front porch and let it crash on the parking lot below. so to save my laptop of this cruelty and to save ME from pulling each and every hair out of my head due to frustration, i would like a macbook pro for christmas. since i'm a photographer, this computer is the best. my life would become so much easier and i would be able to get things done in <em>half the time</em> it normally takes me to on my craptop (for reals, it took me eons to just finish this one silly little post). now, mom and dad, you don't want your beautiful daughter to become bald do you? i didn't think so. (i've told my mom that i would be <em>100% okay</em> with getting that and only that for christmas) but just in case someone wants to get me a little something else, {<em>wink</em>} heres the list: </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKx795PTFh_Wz82fLowMn4Xoctq3w8mp0pIIZBINp8mcTmgJss07q97Hu9i4I6Q-OJ4yZZc75xtH6C5cY8bcaOH1G6x8EEL_MZhaJ-NPoUEiUMQS57cAUFlk97uKki8yvW-_sSoRfiLYUX/s1600/macbook-pro1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKx795PTFh_Wz82fLowMn4Xoctq3w8mp0pIIZBINp8mcTmgJss07q97Hu9i4I6Q-OJ4yZZc75xtH6C5cY8bcaOH1G6x8EEL_MZhaJ-NPoUEiUMQS57cAUFlk97uKki8yvW-_sSoRfiLYUX/s320/macbook-pro1.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrMZXRkmX_aEbIGMdIrV6tHMsD3VuhH60TosuNjDS0TVz_q-1iM6H41jML12_Bmwyb2T9wRW5Do7d3awsVOaqPvNr495o2pETMP7b45PUXqfZzDrs2NxoRvfVIIKFAGjm_i_AVgh_lcuF4/s1600/boots.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrMZXRkmX_aEbIGMdIrV6tHMsD3VuhH60TosuNjDS0TVz_q-1iM6H41jML12_Bmwyb2T9wRW5Do7d3awsVOaqPvNr495o2pETMP7b45PUXqfZzDrs2NxoRvfVIIKFAGjm_i_AVgh_lcuF4/s1600/boots.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3umb0E-wnLNFZ6Gm0c7HquUUvdGodFFQLXrFCjfcGVhbYPMkvxACx-7ENK8KWaA7eyHyktpDyiusUGIjKDvuUmbnDJumayYqGivfYPVO1LWh0l2sBbHpuz4TU1I1VPlKzJZWgMIZmO4vM/s1600/skirts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3umb0E-wnLNFZ6Gm0c7HquUUvdGodFFQLXrFCjfcGVhbYPMkvxACx-7ENK8KWaA7eyHyktpDyiusUGIjKDvuUmbnDJumayYqGivfYPVO1LWh0l2sBbHpuz4TU1I1VPlKzJZWgMIZmO4vM/s400/skirts.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The fact that Rexburg is getting colder. What the heck? Fall is meant to last longer than a month for goodness sakes! Yeah I’m from a place where it rains like 9 months out of the whole year (nonstop) but fall still is extremely pretty in Hillsboro, Oregon. With all the gorgeous colors on the trees: bright red, rich brown, firery orange, and sunny yellow. The air is especially crisp because of the rain that falls often. But when it isn’t raining, the sky is bright blue and the sun is shinning. But here in grand ol’ Rexburg, this happy time only lasts for barely any time at all and then the snow is falling and the air is so freezing that without proper protection, you very well could die while walking to class. Yaaay. I’m so excited!<br />2. Boys are stupid.<br />3. Seeing good friends of mine go through hard things makes me really sad, because I feel their pain. I am an extremely empathetic person and therefore, what they feel, I feel. Well, at least some of it. I don’t think I could possibly ever understand exactly what they are going through, but I know that I can at least relate. And most of the time I feel the need to help them, but a lot of the times don’t know how and just have to hope that me being there for them will make a difference in their trial.<br />4. I really need to stop eating candy. My plan to be healthier is not really working out right now…haha…<br />5. I must already be having a bad week because all I want to do is sleep. And that isn’t always good (and I know it) because it means I’m in a bad mood or sick or cold or just plain too tired of being around people. Sleep is like my drug/addiction. I tend to overdose on it sometimes without even really realizing it.<br />6. Turning 19 is very un-monumental or exciting or life changing. I feel no different at all. Now if I were a guy, I’d most likely feel different because then I could go on a mission but nope I gotta wait two more years. But at least I can submit my papers in a year and a half, and I suppose that really isn’t any time at all.<br />7. Which brings me to the thought I’ve been having lately that time seems to be going by very very slowly yet awfully fast. And I don’t know which one I’d rather it be.<br /><br />Sorry to be all lame and depressed and no fun and not positive like i usually try to be. its just a weird week. But of course it can always get better, not worse. :)Sonja Lisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424166978393083524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283767499566334137.post-77499301570788977732010-10-12T22:20:00.000-07:002010-10-12T23:12:50.268-07:00keep on keeping on<div align="center">so, right now all i care about is <span style="font-size:180%;">keeping on!</span> things have still been rough: in the last two weeks i've been to the doctor like 5 times and got my blood drawn twice!!!!!! but i just found out today that my results came back normal so thats a relief. today i took a 4 hour nap or something and woke up way surprised that i slept that long. </div><p align="center">and right now i'm watching <em><span style="font-size:180%;">history </span></em>as the chilean miners who have been underground for 3 months get rescued. its amazing that they've lived that long, with eating a tiny piece of bread and a sip of milk every day. so far 3 have been rescued. it simply is a miracle! and their strength gives <span style="font-size:180%;">me</span> strength! if they can survive for three months underground, i can survive another week of college, with food to eat (even if its the classic ramen) computers to use, bed to sleep in, and friends to help me. :)<br /><br />also, watching this rescue and the reporters covering it reminds me why my career that i'm working towards is <em>so important to me</em>. i want so badly to be there, letting the world know what is happening by the minute and using the story and experience to inspire people.<br /><br />anyways, i had the blessing of going to utah not this weekend but the one before for conference! i wasn't actually able to go inside the conference center when i was in salt lake sunday because i didn't have a ticket but that was okay with me because i got to watch the sunday afternoon session with cal who i haven't seen in months in the joseph smith memorial building :)<br />but most of all i was happy to see mis padres and my mormor! they picked me up from my twin's melanie's apartment in provo saturday and we spent the day in provo together and had lunch with my cousins christer and karl and karl's cute wife socorro! i also got to see haleeeey badaley!!! i've missed her. we walked around university mall together saturday night with every other lds woman and their dog since priesthood session was going on.<br /><br />conference was great and i learned so much. i also appreciate President Packer and his talk. he is <span style="font-size:180%;">completely right</span>. our Heavenly Father would never make someone be born with something that goes against his laws, especially since He loves us. the Church also <a href="http://beta-newsroom.lds.org/article/church-mormon-responds-to-human-rights-campaign-petition-same-sex-attraction">released a response to the HRC petition</a>.<br /><br />"The Church’s doctrine is based on love. We believe that our purpose in life is to learn, grow and develop, and that God’s unreserved love enables each of us to reach our potential. None of us is limited by our feelings or inclinations. Ultimately, we are free to act for ourselves."<br /><br />i really like this quote.<br /><br />here are some pictaaaas from conference!<br /><br />mels and i! i heart my sister.</p><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527398163533910146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQOCAMwUsn5Qf572fFk9OAnVTacnY_bqoNh_WRIArkIgOcpkYYQOCLEOUC4RkUNaIg701u2RJ9dtNn_0f3rPMV0M0ZhKdRqh7hYYYngS0ddBUWq9G8FuDxCEzJKh7cD8Kb5HfzmaklNLMT/s400/mels.jpg" /></p><p align="center">my mama!!! at the reflection pool temple square</p><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527398215241532690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhaAv7SCOJD7hh3SuGsJpgBoXfNAjti7SWBG8J5Q3d4TJsaWU7q5YT687ohARTmxGwX5x-paEPrn0XYWXlNPYrfs-kZIXHHghc7l9VF4iY4N-ccsfRzJKx2qBGk6NA_cFDSCNrpLRJdV6O/s400/PA038833.JPG" /></p><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527398176037926850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglnHVs4r6cmnET5XVIyvos8mPGGKzXNWZa80SZNR3YqNkSeR9rZvuZx7KfODnuOQtiFDNpFubfuUV8sxyhlu0o44lEnrG3h22-I_xVuha8ShZ2uo4vK1z7b-6VwUyf4sv4hRMyeRtArpJL/s400/PA038822.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhaAv7SCOJD7hh3SuGsJpgBoXfNAjti7SWBG8J5Q3d4TJsaWU7q5YT687ohARTmxGwX5x-paEPrn0XYWXlNPYrfs-kZIXHHghc7l9VF4iY4N-ccsfRzJKx2qBGk6NA_cFDSCNrpLRJdV6O/s1600/PA038833.JPG"></a></p><p align="center">cal and i :)</p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7TsX7NgYccYQxAu2AKAguRk9M1QYfZknYnZsqiADH1PciISgPAz9DEn3VnHKulJfa4y7D1jYBGYw53WQo_CTRhOyk7dDAj9XY_wGU95wWXvzjRetL8HKK6UCjDwQxE5PdNAtmny_tXqwy/s1600/PA038829.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527398203266896802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7TsX7NgYccYQxAu2AKAguRk9M1QYfZknYnZsqiADH1PciISgPAz9DEn3VnHKulJfa4y7D1jYBGYw53WQo_CTRhOyk7dDAj9XY_wGU95wWXvzjRetL8HKK6UCjDwQxE5PdNAtmny_tXqwy/s400/PA038829.JPG" /> <p align="center"></a>my minolta! i got some great shots of the temple and developed one for my photo class and i'm pretty proud of it. i'll eventually scan it and upload it here.<br /><br /></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527398190997019426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAgOr4qwn7whqruIl289-Y4dU6lx0U2Sfsh4OcYhFrVP4pKFzZoFRuuiwIGkPbVVLmSRnGKco5q-WgJWSbUueeDfreVOiQMIp4p0rQLpHc3dCnq7CSqDj-IMNKr7Bf4I4PkW74UaVonKrx/s400/PA038826.JPG" /> <p align="center">anyways i'm gonna go make some toast or something so peace out! and keep on keeping on! :)<br /><br /></p>Sonja Lisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424166978393083524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283767499566334137.post-18679811264474063552010-10-05T08:39:00.000-07:002010-10-05T08:44:24.614-07:00faithI did this for my free choice journal entry in my english class, and realized that it is pretty much my testimony. So I felt like sharing it and remembering it. (I also posted it on facebook hehe)<br /><br /><br />What is faith? In primary I was always taught that faith was like a little seed and if planted it will grow. In young women’s I was taught that “Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.” - Alma 32:21<br /><br />And it means so much more to me now. I have learned through my experiences so far in life that faith is drastically more important to me than I might have thought before. When I look back on what has happened to me, two completely different things enter my mind: that those things were extremely hard, but yet that there are many other people, even people that I know, that have been through worse. I like to think that my gratitude for the things I have been through is because of my faith in my Heavenly Father. <br /><br />However, sometimes I feel inadequate to have faith. When a challenge is really hard to face, sometimes the faith needed to overcome that challenge is even harder to come to terms with. I worry that I do not have enough faith to go through it. <br /><br />But, as I have recently realized, I will never be inadequate of faith. It is not something that I need to deserve in order to have. If I plant my faith firmly, it will grow, even if it seems like there is not enough sunlight for that little seed to sprout. Yes, it isn’t easy. Yes, even my very testimony in my loving Savior Jesus Christ will be threatened with challenges that need faith. Faith that knowing the sun will rise and brighten each new day. Faith knowing that I will be able to get up every morning. <br /><br />When I again look back, I also realize that maybe my faith has been more than adequate. So far I have been able to get through challenges and I’m still breathing. At the same time, I have been incredibly blessed with many miracles. And I truly believe that this is because of my faith in Christ. I think that every time I tell myself that everything will be okay I am saying a prayer to my Father in Heaven asking him to bless me with faith. I wouldn’t be able to ask for faith and receive it if I didn’t have faith that He would give it to me. Faith, no matter how much or how little, I will always have.Sonja Lisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424166978393083524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283767499566334137.post-25847634549307710202010-10-02T01:40:00.000-07:002010-10-02T02:09:26.866-07:00blessings!okay so the seven week break was long but good, and now there has been like three weeks of fall semester! survival rule #12: count your blessings.<br /><br /><div></div><div>so even though i've been enjoying this semster, its been a bit hard at times. for instance, pretty much NOBODY has gotten their loans yet, including me....even though that kinda has to do with the fact that my mom and i didn't complete the fasfa for this year quick enough...but still. so i have no money. and a computer that sucks.

(i'm too lazy to put a linky here. you know how to google...use that skill!) i'll probably be bloggin about it. and i'm gonna do what my twin melanie suggested i do....20/20! which is exercise for 20 mins and then read scriptures for 20 mins. and its gonna be awesome! </p><br /><br /><p>now, i promise i'm not vain....i'm quite the humble person :) but i'm also a photographer, and i find that i learn ways to take better pictures by taking/editing pictures of myself. my mom, sisters and eli and i went hiking this last week in vernonia for just a bit...and there was this cool building so i jumped at the opportunity! </p><br /><br /><p>but i made brynn take the pictures.<br /></p><br /><p>which was actually not as easy as you think, because (sorry brynn) she's not the best photographer....well i mean...she doesn't see things the way i do. so i had to kinda direct her and be the model at the same time....<em>rough</em>. haha. and we ended up with these! after i edited them :) and i love them!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4B1SJv4SGqw3a4nHtJVV2L2X3SKSjFvXP6GyS1hxUe7BCftLckr-azaHMTOPZOeYuIDcsJuPDapO-ASb04wPGwNLZmKjEPYf5-_tzFTcQkVUJjp9sigUpZREciyykE9PHuTovMk0UmfOa/s1600/sonjaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508478648092816674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4B1SJv4SGqw3a4nHtJVV2L2X3SKSjFvXP6GyS1hxUe7BCftLckr-azaHMTOPZOeYuIDcsJuPDapO-ASb04wPGwNLZmKjEPYf5-_tzFTcQkVUJjp9sigUpZREciyykE9PHuTovMk0UmfOa/s400/sonjaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgedwmMCfNwioeux37q4ClOM6t3dHYlcAOlD8qTf5R_tSuefdnKHNRaZfnr87tKNMw-kL10aMfAVSNNnOgKgBwkJaFC5tU_HmjICdfLVEHRoPYeo4njJP3ViTvG-oK2xWnSLDiKs3-CFip2/s1600/sonjaaaaaaa.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508478640124199794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgedwmMCfNwioeux37q4ClOM6t3dHYlcAOlD8qTf5R_tSuefdnKHNRaZfnr87tKNMw-kL10aMfAVSNNnOgKgBwkJaFC5tU_HmjICdfLVEHRoPYeo4njJP3ViTvG-oK2xWnSLDiKs3-CFip2/s400/sonjaaaaaaa.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8QEq4x3hBwIVvHScHq7AKepb1mG30tohvDba96VsafSzzL8IMohCQcMe316PXXqkZOoaVXWUxBCDFmYXeQX-hLLmkrGOzn0XZlGJfcP0Z_076Q_ByQvEvKm2LN0zsrVIsJKjyk-Gp0F_d/s1600/sonjaaaaa1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508478637660277794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8QEq4x3hBwIVvHScHq7AKepb1mG30tohvDba96VsafSzzL8IMohCQcMe316PXXqkZOoaVXWUxBCDFmYXeQX-hLLmkrGOzn0XZlGJfcP0Z_076Q_ByQvEvKm2LN0zsrVIsJKjyk-Gp0F_d/s400/sonjaaaaa1.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnd8bqwXmcAI3lKdDVlgGDBw8xDA0RhKuUeKxtUunk14tG5L2My4UbWbSakLoAli8vIL41TNYlPRMm4PUGBQJiBTOEdH6ClQ9G8RBFCCXHU3xBPRkd4ZXhyphenhyphenE-QQEk-qgmc1mk9bpGf9qbX/s1600/sonjaaaa2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508478626544758770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnd8bqwXmcAI3lKdDVlgGDBw8xDA0RhKuUeKxtUunk14tG5L2My4UbWbSakLoAli8vIL41TNYlPRMm4PUGBQJiBTOEdH6ClQ9G8RBFCCXHU3xBPRkd4ZXhyphenhyphenE-QQEk-qgmc1mk9bpGf9qbX/s400/sonjaaaa2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><p></p><div><br /></div><p></p><div><br /></div><p></p><div><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><p></p><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>speaking of photography....i haven't updated my photo blog in forever...but this is changing!!!
