Happy Birthday Ron!!!/Constellations

So last night was pretty much the best night ever. 

You know you've done robin egg lipstick before ;) I think everyone has :D

Beautiful 

Oh dear... 

Hailee fell up the stairs... twice... in one trip... we pretty much balled our eyes out from laugher because her, Ash, and I were all trying to run up the stairs so we could see Karlys' expression as she looked into her room because... 

Gavin asked her to prom last night!

Here is how he did it- 

He bought the glow in the dark stars you put on your celling and glow in the dark tape. His idea- to write "they will see us waving from such great heights" on her celling with the tape and stars. So cute right?! No. You don't even get why it's so cute. Karly is in love with constellations, astronomy, and stars. She also loves her music as we all know, so the song lyrics were a perfect idea. I think the song has some meaning to them behind it as well... 

I'm not done with the cuteness yet guys! 

The theme to prom this year is- SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS. 

No. I'm totally not kidding. 

Plus- Gavin thought of this all on his own! What a champ! 

He knows her way too well, don't cha think? 

So he came over while Karly was at her dress rehearsal (which lasted 4 hours... so we had plenty of time). At first we were going really slow. We put the stars on first and then connected the dots with the tape. So we had one star at every point in the letter. It was taking forever. We would measure how far away the stars were with our tape, then cut the tape, the unstick the tape (it was kind of two sided so it took a while to get even a little bit off), then stick it on the celling. Sadly, it was only about halfway through that I figured out it was much easier to just pull the tape apart and put it directly on... this probably makes no sense... you know that tape where it is kind of like a sticker? You have to pulling it off and then there is a wrapper.... ok... this still probably makes no sense.... haha never mind. 

So after 2 hours (this is so not an exaggeration) we finally got it done! It took 4 people and still took that long. I'm so glad Gavin didn't do it by himself! He was so happy about it though. You could tell. He was just beaming the whole time. :) they kind of like each other ;) 

Then he also put rose petals all over her bed and then one rose. He wrote something on a paper (I'm too lazy to go and get it) about her finishing it... hahaha I can't remember. Oh well! It was really cute and it was fun to see how personal he made it, and how excited he was to make her happy. 

This is the celling in the light... 

Here it is in the dark. I wish a camera could actually capture what you see. This looks nothing like it... 

We waited and waited and waited for her to get home. 

While we waited we made this amazing cake for Ron Weasly's birthday! We were planning on making it for Hailee as a birthday cake before I left (even though her birthday is in June) and we thought yesterday would be perfect because it actaully was his birthday and she was sleeping over :) 

The beauty 

How cute :)

All of us blowing out the candles... we did this 3 times... until the candles had melted completely. And sang Happy Birthday every time. :)

 So now we are at the part where Hailee falls up the stairs. When Karl got home we waited for her to go upstairs. She took a while... but when she did we didn't notice at first so we ran up the stairs. We have a gate so our dog won't go upstairs. It's not too high...  for most people ha. Hailee didn't quite make it... hahahahaha we almost peed our pants laughing. Karly didn't even suspect anything. Probably because we were already acting like we were on crack... haha we videoed (is that a word.... I don't think so... oh well!) it as she walked in. But it's not that interesting so I didn't take the time to post it. She walked in and saw the rose petals on her bed and just gasped. We laughed and she tried to shut the door. She wasn't noticing the celling so we turned off the lights. She was still like... what the heck guys? The we yelled, "look up!" She looked up and was speechless. She loved it! We giggled and then ran in and laid on her bed gazing at it. We loved it so much. Hahaha. She was completely surprised and didn't suspect a thing!
We heard her say 30 minutes later, I don't even want to get into the shower because I'm so happy. That is true happiness right there people!

Look at her face:)

 You know how we have issues with fire... we left this candle burning when we chased Karly up the stairs. Good thing we didn't burn our house down! My mom sent us all a text saying- "do you want me to blow this out?" we freaked out and laughed pretty hard ;) 

In fact.. we have so many issues with fire, I had to make a label for it.

Spanish???

So I went to the temple for the second time with my cousin today. I had an amazing time and was able to learn a lot because it wasn't as nerve racking and I could actually pay attention. I still have SO much more to learn in the temple though! It's such an amazing place! I'm so glad that I get to go a lot before my mission. My goal is to go at least once a week, but more if I can! 

I've been having thoughts and impressions lately that I need to study/learn Spanish before I leave. At first I just put it off and thought that I was being crazy. But today in the temple, I just knew that I needed to. And from what we learn from President Monson is that we should NEVER IGNORE IMPRESSIONS/THE SPIRIT. I have no idea if I will even use it on my mission. I have just heard of so may missionaries getting called to Florida (Tampa even) Spanish speaking. I just want to be prepared. I don't want to miss an opportunity to teach and share my testimony of the gospel just because I don't know the language. Plus- I have heard that there are A LOT of people who speak Spanish who live in Florida. 

I know you probably think I'm crazy and that I'm not going to learn the language before April. But I trust in my Heavenly Father that if he asks/prompts/inspires me to do something, that with him I can accomplish it. No matter what. I have full faith that I will learn at least what I need to know, if I do all that I can, have faith, and trust and rely completely on our Heavenly Father. 

He knows exactly what we need. I know that he will lead and guide me to people that need to hear the gospel at this time. I know I say this at the end of every post like this- BUT I SERIOUSLY CANNOT EVEN WAIT!!!

Oh and I just wanted to thank my Sister Ashley and my friends Hailee, Jackie, and Kailey for helping me through these past couple of hard days when my mom hasn't really been avaliable. I couldn't do it without you guys! I love you!
