New York Times Headline: Power Struggle Is Gripping Iran Ahead of June Election

Yesterday was a day full of sweet things. The sweetest of all? A letter from Japan. It took two and a half weeks to get here, which was expected, but it was still so nice to FINALLY get more than a paragraph email. Japan stamps are really cute, P.S. Also, that best friend of mine is amazing. He somehow knows EXACTLY what I'm going to need to hear....and he wrote it two weeks ago, thousands of miles away. I don't know how he does it, but he's the best.

Another sweet thing? Driving my new car, Edna, around:) I am basically IN LOVE WITH IT and SO THANKFUL to my parents for getting it for me. They are also the best:)

Another sweet thing that happened was doing crazy fun things with my friends, as well as doing homework (we do good in school sometimes.) A trip to JoAnn's to get stuff for me for Relief Society resulted in fabric paint for Lauren's pants, Rachel and Alli running around taking pictures and blowing off steam, and all of us car dancing at stop lights. Good times:)

Another sweet thing that happened was my mama's DELICIOUS cake for breakfast:) Sue me for eating chocolate cake for breakfast. I had strawberries and milk with it. I feel no shame. But seriously it was really good. Chocolate cake with chocolate cool whip frosting? Divine. Maybe one day I'll post the recipe.

Another sweet thing was having a good, Gospel talk with two of my very good friends. I love that I have so many close friends that I can have these deep, good talks with. It's the best:)

So yes, yesterday was full of sweet things. And today will be too:)


No this isn't Edna...camera broken remember? But she looks just like this:)



This is where Randy is...the Hawaii of Japan. Yes, I'm super jealous. Aren't you?

Happy Wednesday everyone!

So I was pinning and blog stalking yesterday, and among the stalkage that was going on I found a bun called a top knot that was super cute that I actually liked! Back up....I am not a huge fan of buns. To me they are for ballet or dance or something like that. Some people totally pull them off, other people I'm all...ehhhhh better not. But after seeing this, I had to try it. And I gotta say, I really like it! Plus....after sleeping on it, it left me with the cutest waves and curls in my hair! I would TOTALLY recommend this top knot.

Now these pictures don't do it justice. Just trust me

So I'm not a major fan of huge, mean pranks. When people start doing crazy April Fool's Day pranks, I get a little upset. I just feel guilty when I do mean things! Sue me! So today in honor of April Fool's Day, I wanted to make a list of pranks that I think are good, but not too mean.

• Make brownie batter, put paper inside, and watch your friends' confused looks when they take a bite!
• Put toothbrushes in an ice tray overnight, then take them out and put them away right before everyone wakes up!
• Put your house up for sale.
• Put a friend's car, bike, pet on KSL Classifieds and watch them get texts and phone calls all day inquiring after their item!
• Take pictures that make your hair look drastically shorter and put them online.
• Put a PULL sign on a PUSH door or vice versa.!
• Serve cupcakes that look like hamburgers for dinner, and meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting for dessert! Looks yummy right?

• Change all the clocks in the house to crazy, random times.
