TOP 12 of 2012

Well, the futuristic year of 2013 is almost here! It's crazy. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. 2012 still deserves to be celebrated. I had a wonderful 2012--narrowing it down to the 12 best moments/events was a bit of a daunting task. But, here they are:

12. Life plan: somewhat decided. Coming in at number 12 is the fact that I decided what I want to major and minor in. This shouldn't be such a big deal, but it is because it's taken me so long to decide. Haha. I have decided to major in communications with a journalism emphasis and minor in music, focusing on piano. We'll see where this takes me, but for now I could not feel any better about this decision.

 

11. Missions and Marriages. I've decided that 2012 has been the year of weddings and mission calls. This made the list because so many of these missions and marriages are taking place among my friends and it's so weird! I do not feel old enough to be at this point in life. But, reality has set in and I've come to embrace these wonderful events ;) (even if I do still feel too young for this).
 

10. The Scooter. I love my little royal blue moped that was my trusty companion all summer (and most of the fall since the temperature was usually over 70 degrees...). Definitely a highlight of 2012. I can't even calculate how much gas money this has saved me. One gallon lasts a nice, long 75-100 miles. I did learn the hard way a few times when I ran out of gas on the way to school...(whoops)...but now I've got it under control. Scooty and I are best buds. And the little neighborhood kiddos love it too.

9. RED. This may be kind of pathetic that it made my top 12 of 2012 list, but Taylor Swift is wonderful and so is her new album, RED. It's not what you would call the album of a country singer (which is what she still claims to be...), but it's so good. I've decided that she's smart to adapt her style to fit with the new hipster, indie-pop era that Americans seem to be migrating towards. Nonetheless, she IS Taylor Swift and will still have millions of fans regardless of what her album sounds like.

8.Awkward Family Photos. My family and I have been obsessed with awkwardfamilyphotos.com for quite some time now so this holiday season we decided we must reinact our own awkward Christmas photos to send to Jake for Christmas (we quickly discovered that we are not meant to be an acting family...haha).
 

 

7. My 21^st Birthday. Well, just as everyone does, I had a birthday this year. That in-and-of itself is not monumental, BUT the fact that I turned 21 sure is. Turning 20 felt weird, but 21 feels like I'm ancient. I know some people (aka my parents) are probably reading this and laughing because they think 21 is young....it's all relative, mom and dad. ;) Anyway, the age of 21 has been great to me so far—I can finally apply for a credit card! And I can buy spray paint at Hobby Lobby without showing an ID! That is livin' the life, I tell you. Yeah, 21 is great.

6. fun. Concert. Earlier this year fun. came to Salt Lake!! To say I love fun. is an understatement. Jake and I are obsessed with them. And after going to their concert we only became more obsessed. Not only are they amazing live, but their lead singer doesn't even read music. He sings a melody and the keyboardist and guitarist write the music, harmonies, and everything musical about the song. Amazing, right? We bought their second album, Some Nights, at Graywhale the day it came out so we could get wristbands to go to a special pre-concert party (pretty much just another concert....just up close and personal). It was SO wonderful. They sang four songs acoustically....all of which were, of course, so great...and then we got to meet them and NOT take pictures with them (but we did anyway...whoops). Then we got FRONT ROW seats at the concert!! When I say “seats” I actually mean we were practically sitting on the people behind us because everyone was standing, trying to get closer and closer to the stage and it was pretty awkward. But, one of the best concerts I've ever been to, nonetheless.

5. Jake's mission call. In May of this year, Jake received his mission call to serve in Costa Rica!! Now, this day was probably one of the longest of the entire year. My dad said he was more nervous for Jake to open his call than he was when he opened his own call. Our family was so nervous for him...I don't think he needed to be nervous at all because we were nervous enough for all of America. BUT, finally 7:00 came and friends and family gathered at our house to hear the announcement. He didn't read it line-by-line like I told him to, so I watched the look on his face before he actually read it out loud and it was priceless. He looked excitedly scared out of his mind. It was a great, great, great night that night at the Hampton house.

 

4. California trip. One particular vacation of the year that makes the is our trip to California with the Russells. We stayed on Coronado Island and went to Sea World, Universal Studios, swam, played on the beach, and just relaxed. It went by way too fast. We took a day to go to the San Diego Temple to do baptisms and it was amazing! We also fulfilled an item on my life-long bucket list: ride cruisers on the beach. Thanks to a quaint, handy little bike shop on the island we were able to rent cruisers, ride around the beach, and see the different areas of Coronado. Kylee and I became even more obsessed with the ultra classy, picture-perfect houses with bright beautiful flowers grazing each porch and windowsill. Such a great trip always comes with vacationing with the Russells. (We once got chased by a security guard...but that's another story for another day.)
 

3. Half Marathon. In November of this year I ran my first half marathon! This has always been a goal of mine, so on November 3, we made the journey down to good ole St. George where me, my dad, and my sister ran the Snow Canyon Half Marathon and my mom and two other sisters ran the 5K. It took lots of training and long runs to accomplish it, but I would do it again in a second. I felt so good knowing I had worked hard for and accomplished a goal I had been working on for some time. It was definitely hard but definitely worth it—I can say that now that it's over ;) Just kidding. It really was great.

2. Costa Rica Bound. Okay, I know I already talked about Jake's call to Costa Rica, but obviously (as any missionary family would know) this has been a HUGE part of 2012 for our family. He left to the MTC on August 22 and I don't think any of us expected it to be as hard as it actually was when we dropped him off. We all knew we would miss him so much, but after dropping him off it sort of felt like he had died or something. It was hard to be happy for like a straight 24 hours after we drove away. But, we would not have it any other way—we would be more sad if he was not serving a mission. He is very missed around here, though. Just say the word missionary to my mom and she will probably start crying and then proceed to tell you all about how Jake is doing :). He is doing so great and is such a wonderful missionary!! This has been huge for our family and we have received so many blessings from his service. We love you, Elder Hampton! (Hopefully August 2014 gets here quickly...)
 

1. EFY. This summer I had the greatest opportunity to work as a counselor for the Especially for Youth program. It was a life-changing experience. I can't put into words how much I loved working with the youth of the Church and feeling a small dose of Christ's love for them—most of whom I did not know until I met them at “Meet Your Counselor” on Monday afternoons. EFY was such a wonderful time...that's why it deserves the number 1 spot on my list this year. I grew so much and gained a greater perspective on life in general. Not to mention the Peanut Butter and Jelly Dance......definitely learned to love that thing. ;)

Here's to another year! 2013 is going to be a great one.

This Holiday We Call Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Aside from family, great food, and pumpkin pie (it's so good it deserves its own category), I love the spirit that comes with Thanksgiving. It seems like everyone is just....happier. For no specific reason, necessarily. And it seems most of the American population falls into this rut of holiday cheer from the third Thursday in November until the first day of January and then everyone suddenly comes down with the Winter Blues. I fall into this same trap, don't get me wrong, I just find it really interesting. Why can't we be grateful for what we have all the time? Funny how spoiled us Americans are...I found myself complaining the other day that my iPhone froze so I couldn't check my email for like two minutes. How pathetic that we consider situations like this a "problem," right? I've really been trying to be more grateful for the blessings I have (obviously, because it's after that third Thursday in November...haha) and I have realized more and more that we really do have so much to be thankful for. Especially here in Happy Valley, Utah. How often do we find ourselves complaining that we have to make our beds, clean our rooms, or do our laundry? And for each time we complain about doing these things, how many people are wishing they had a bed to make, a room to clean, and clothes to wear? It's humbling. 

We watched this video in one of my religion classes and it was so powerful. Watch it--I dare you. ;)

http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/mormon-helping-hands-hurricane-sandy-video

My favorite part is when one victim is talking about all the devastation that has come from Hurricane Sandy because she said something that has stuck with me. In the midst of all this destruction--the victims being interviewed had pretty much lost everything--she said "we are luckier than a lot of people are." Wow. If someone who has just lost all worldly possessions can say they are lucky, how lucky (or blessed, rather) should we feel? There is a song by Josh Groban that I loooove. It's called Thankful. One of my favorite lines in the song says, "It's up to us to be the change. And even though we all can still do more, there's so much to be thankful for." 

Happy Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentine's Day! (It will probably take me that long before I have time to get another post up...)

The Skinny Minnie

I was watching the Today show the other day when they showed a clip about Barneys New York and the new Electric Holiday Campaign. Barneys is giving classic Disney characters (Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Goofy, etc.) a makeover--their displays feature these characters dressed in high-fashion apparel and have made each of them stick-thin. These characters look more like sickly models than signature faces of the happiest place on earth. Here's a clip of the story: 

I do not agree with this at all. I think it is putting the wrong image into the heads of children, giving them the idea that they are not "fashionable" if they are not stick-thin like these characters. It also sends the message that they weren't good enough at the size they were before--so, in order to display them in New York City, they have to change how they look. What kind of messages is this sending children? And, on top of that, how many children actually believe the messages that are conveyed to them? I'd say it's probably quite a few, considering all the emphasis on media and technology that we have these days. Through replacing average-sized characters with extremely skinny ones, young girls (especially) become vulnerable to feeling like they aren't good enough if they don't look like these models, no matter how harmless Barneys meant for them to be. Anyway, I just found this really interesting so I hope you do too! Enjoy!

21.

Well, today I turned 21. Weird. But this year has been good to me. Life has been good to me in general. I've learned a lot in my 21 years of life (I know, I'm super experienced........). I have learned a few important lessons, though. So, in celebration of my 21st birthday, here are 21 things I have come to learn, or appreciate, in my wisdom-filled life so far ;).

1. Friends come and go, but family will be with you forever!
2. Do your best and be satisfied. Your best is all you have to offer-if you've given that, there's nothing to regret or feel bad about.
3. Attitude is everything. Think happy, be happy!
4. Always, always, always trust in Heavenly Father and his timing. He knows what's best for us and his will is going to be done no matter how much we try to control our own lives. Trusting in Him will bring us more peace than we can find any other way.
5. Exercise. Aside from keeping you healthy it's an instant happiness boost.
6. Make new friends and meet new people.
7. Service cures bad hair days, ugly outfit days, and days where everything seems to be going wrong. As soon as you think outside yourself and serve others, your problems seem trivial and you may even feel stupid for having your own little pity party.
8. When you are scared to do something, do it.
9. Mom is always right. I don't care what anyone else says...she's always right. And it's kind of freaky. ;)
10. Integrity is more important than fear or a bad grade.
11. There is no such thing as a "coincidence." Everything happens for a reason.
12. Know when to have fun and when to be serious.
13. Everybody loves to talk about themselves, so make people happy and ask about their lives. No one likes a self-centered chatter box :) (and I mean that in the nicest way possible).
14. Appearances only matter to an extent-a very small extent.
15. Happiness comes from living the way we know we are supposed to live.
16. When your room is clean it is much easier to get things done...whether they be in your room or not. Something about a dirty room irking the back of my mind prevents me from doing anything productive.
17. Music is medicine.
18. Everyone deserves respect-we are all children of God.
19. The Gospel doesn't always make sense, but it is ALWAYS true. It always has been and it always will be.
20. There is something good that comes from being busy. I don't quite know what it is, but being busy makes me happy and I feel accomplished.
21. Life can be hard, but if it weren't, it would never be good.

Here's to another year!

Happy Birthday Hannah!

The day has come. Hannah turned SIXTEEN today. So crazy. I love Hannah. We have so much fun together...I forget she is only 15 (well...16 now I guess haha) sometimes because we get along so great. She is such a sweet girl--and she has like 1 million friends to show it! Not to mention her adorable style--she borrows my clothes all the time. HAHA just kidding. She has such cute clothes that sometimes I actually copy her outfits or even buy the same shirts...whoops! We always have great times...like, for example, one time we got in trouble by the Costco manager because we snuck in without a card and went around to get all the samples (what else is Costco good for, right?). The workers apparently saw us sneak in and started getting on their radios, giving descriptions of what we look like and they all started searching for us until they finally tracked us down. It was great. And awkward. But mostly great. We can spend hours on end going shopping together, talking about Fashion Week, bike-riding, talking about good music, eating, driving, scooter-ing, and planning our half marathon goals (that WILL happen. Snow Canyon 2012 baby.). Oh, and we even got to spend a week at EFY together (I was a counselor, she was a participant...obviously)!! It was the best. What can we conclude from this? Doing things with Hannah is great. Hannah is just great. Yep.

I love you, Hannah! Thanks for being so smart, talented, beautiful, kind, and amazing! Happy sweet sixteen! Don't date too many boys! ;)

Rise and Shout!

Well, summer is over and school is back in session. Summer always goes by too fast...but winter seems to drag on forever...funny. Fall semester is actually my favorite, though. I love football season (I've never been a huge football fan in and of itself, but going to the games is just all around great for so many reasons). The first game of the season was last night. It was so great--we destroyed Washington State 30-6 and I had such a great time with friends and those free pom-poms they set on all the seats. Those things are obnoxiously great. I also love walking on campus during fall semester. Even if it is 99 degrees at least it's not bitter cold, and campus is just so pretty. I am starting my major classes this semester and I LOVE them so far (let's see if I still say that at the end of the semester...). Public Relations is so interesting to me. And I'm minoring in music, which I also love. So, it's going to be good when (or IF...) graduation ever comes and I can actually do things with these classes...you know, like in real life. Yeah. Here's to a great semester! 

P.S. I'm sure you've all seen this. But it's hilarious. So, if you need a good laugh, just watch it again. Totally worth it. Enjoy!

Elder Hampton is on his way!

Today we dropped Jake off at the MTC. It was definitely a bitter-sweet day. We have been so close...it's going to be hard not having him around for two years. But he is going to be the BEST missionary--I'm so excited for him. Read the blog we are doing for him for all the details of today, pictures and all. :)

Happy Wednesday (which I will now and forever think of as missionary-drop-off day.)!!

the farewell.

Yesterday was Jake's farewell and, let me tell you, it was so good. He is such a good speaker and a very talented writer so the two put together equals an amazing farewell talk. It's such a weird feeling to be at this point in our lives where Jake is leaving on his mission. Like in two days. Crazy. For the past 19 years it has seemed so far away...but now it's here. I thought by then I'd feel all old or something but, no, I still feel like a baby and he does not seem old enough for a mission. Where does time go?! When I was little I imagined myself fully married and with like three kids by the time Jake was leaving hahaha. But, clearly, that would be freaky if that were the current situation. I could not be happier for him--he is going to be AMAZING! He has such a strong testimony and is such a wonderful kid. The Costa Ricans are so lucky to have him for two years and I know they are going to adore him. I am going to miss him tons and tons while he is gone, but I wouldn't have it any other way. He has been such an example to me growing up. Being the oldest I always felt like I should be the good example, but he has ended up being the good example to me and to everyone he comes in contact with. He is going to be the best missionary--Costa Rica will not know what hit them! ;) How did I get so lucky to have such a wonderful brother? Who knows...but I would not trade him for the world.

P.S. we are going to keep a blog for Jake where we'll post letters, pictures, etc. Be sure to follow it! elderhampton.blogspot.com

Isn't he a stud?!

I LOVE YOU, JAKE! HAPPY MISSION!

RED.

Taylor Swift announced today that her new album, Red, will be coming out....(drum roll, please) on OCTOBER 22! The first single from her album was released tonight and it's so different, but, it's T-Swift, so it's obviously amazing. To say I love Tay Swift would be an understatement. Her Speak Now tour was extraordinary and I'm already planning on going to her 2013 tour...because it will be happening, I'm sure. And I'm sure it will be her best tour yet. Goal of my life: meet her. I will do whatever it takes. My sisters and I are determined that some day we will be her groupies or something. We can dream, right? ;) Here's a link to listen to her new song, it's called "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtFFQJiwSxU 

I like the feel of it...if this is any foreshadowing of the rest of the album, it is going to be a hit (but, after all, what album of hers hasn't been?). Enjoy! T-Swift forever! Wahoo!

Uplifting Words for a Lovely Sunday

I love Sundays. And I love quotes. So what's better than an inspirational quote on Sunday?! You got it; nothing. So here you go. Be inspired. You're welcome. 

We Bought a Zoo--if you haven't seen this movie yet, you're missing out. It's made my top 10 movie list for sure.

HAPPY SUNDAY! 

Flashback Friday

I stumbled upon some old pictures and had a good laugh. Haha. Definitely grew up in the 90's...big hair (specifically the bangs)...side ponytails...the good ole days, right? Even Stevens, Lizzy McGuire, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies, Full House, innocent Disney movies, All That, Rugrats, Recess, The Amanda Show, when Vegas was a family destination....oh the days of good, innocent entertainment. Proud to be a 90's child.

Hangin' with the cousins at Grandma and Grandpa's

One of the many family vacations to Vegas (before it became "sin city." and before Jake was taller than me.)

Typical 90's in every way.

Family BBQ...trying to cram on the child-sized tramp (which seemed big back then)

The Death of Pretty

This is an article that my mom read to us a while ago, and it was so intriguing to me. What is the difference between "pretty" and "hot?" Too many times they are used interchangeably, but you will feel differently after reading this article. I will be volunteering this fall semester for Women's Resource Center at BYU, constantly drilling this kind of stuff into women of all ages heads. It is so important that we know how wonderful we are and that we deserve to feel pretty. Their blog and website are both super interesting--check them out at https://wsr.byu.edu. Ok, now indulge in this article--you will be changed forever...(hopefully). 

Here is some of the photography done for the "I Am Beautiful" campaign done by the BYU Women's Resource and Services center. I'm in love with it.

The Death of Pretty--by Pat Archibald

Pretty, pretty is dying.

People will define pretty differently.  For the purposes of this piece, I define pretty as a mutually enriching balanced combination of beauty and projected innocence.

Once upon a time, women wanted to project an innocence.  I am not idealizing another age and I have no illusions about the virtues of our grandparents, concupiscence being what it is.  But some things were different in the back then.  First and foremost, many beautiful women, whatever the state of their souls, still wished to project a public innocence and virtue.  And that combination of beauty and innocence is what I define as pretty.

By nature, generally when men see this combination in women it brings out their better qualities, their best in fact.  That special combination of beauty and innocence, the pretty inspires men to protect and defend it.

Young women today do not seem to aspire to pretty, they prefer to be regarded as hot. Hotness is something altogether different.  When women want to be hot instead of pretty, they must view themselves in a certain way and consequently men view them differently as well.

As I said, pretty inspires men’s nobler instincts to protect and defend.  Pretty is cherished. Hotness, on the other hand, is a commodity.  Its value is temporary and must be used.  It is a consumable.

Nowhere is this pretty deficit more obvious than in our “stars,” the people we elevate as the “ideal.”  The stars of the fifties surely suffered from the same sin as do stars of today.  Stars of the fifties weren’t ideal but they pursued a public ideal different from today.

The merits of hotness over pretty is easy enough to understand, they made an entire musical about it.  Who can forget how pretty Olivia Newton John was at the beginning of Grease.  Beautiful and innocent.  But her desire to be desired leads her to throw away all that is valuable in herself in the vain hopes of getting the attention of a boy.  In the process, she destroys her innocence and thus destroys the pretty.  What we are left with is hotness.

Hotness is a consumable.  A consumable that consumes as it is consumed but brings no warmth.

Most girls don’t want to be pretty anymore even if they understand what it is.  It is ironic that 40 years of women’s liberation has succeeded only in turning women into a commodity.  Something to be used up and thrown out.

Of course men play a role in this as well, but women should know better and they once did.  Once upon a time you would hear girls talk about kind of women men date and the kind they marry.  You don’t hear things like that anymore.

But here is the real truth.  Most men prefer pretty over hot.  Even back in 6th grade I hated the “hot” Olivia Newton John and felt sorry for her that she had to debase herself in such a way.  Still do.

Our problem is that society doesn’t value innocence anymore, real or imagined.  Nobody aspires to innocence anymore.  Nobody wants to be thought of as innocent, the good girl.  They want to be hot, not pretty.

I still hope that pretty comes back, although I think it not likely any time soon.  For every Taylor Swift, there are a hundred Megan Foxs, or Lindsay Lohans, or Miley Cyruses etc.

Girls, please, bring back the pretty.

Recent Obsessions

Okay, so lately I am obsessed with Regina Spektor's new album, "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats." It is so good. It's REAL music--not that "stuff" you hear on the radio every day. If you don't believe me, take a listen for yourself. I promise you'll be converted. (Clicking on the picture will take you to a preview of the album.)

Another recent obsession of mine is smoothies. Kind of weird, right? I've been on an inventive smoothie kick lately. I made this little beauty this morning for breakfast: a strawberry peach smoothie! So delicious. Thank you, pinterest. For this super delicious recipe, go here.

  

J. Crew will forever and always be one of my greatest obsessions. Seriously, how much classier can you get?! Not to mention their adorable crewcuts line for kids. It is to die for. But, FYI, never pay full price for anything at J. Crew ($228 for a sweater?! Ridiculous). Instead, go to their factory store in Park City--same classiness, reasonable prices.

We recently got a fire pit and I have never loved having campfires more than I do now. It is so much fun to sit around the fire, spending quality time with the fam, listening to music and roasting marshmallows. Oh, the joys of summertime. 

The Happiness Project is one of my new favorite books. I recently finished reading it and it left me wanting to be a better person. It is such an uplifting book--I highly suggest it to anyone and everyone. To give a very brief summary, it is written by a lady named Gretchen Rubin, who spent one year in a quest for happiness. Each month she sets goals for herself that she believes will increase her day-to-day happiness. She explains different theories of happiness, fills the book with lots of mind-boggling quotes from geniuses, and tells readers of her successes and failures throughout her journey. It is a funny, easy-going kind of read. Go pick it up--you can't read it and not be happy!

Last, but not least, I have been obsessed with this song by Alex Boye and the Institute choir, called "I Will Rise." One of my BC's showed it to us at EFY and I have loved it ever since. It's just one of those songs that makes your day--but don't just take my word for it! Listen for yourself! 

Some Spiritual Food For Thought

I love Sundays. I feel like life is so busy--some days I feel like I don't even have time to think--but Sundays are the perfect day to think about what matters most and focus our lives on the Savior. Doing this will help us in re-evaluating what holds true importance in our lives and what is just "stuff." I LOVE this Mormon Messages clip going along with a talk by President Uchtdorf. Watch it--you won't regret it! :) Happy Sunday!

"

Dog Days

So, my brother Jake and I are mildly obsessed with the Diary of a Wimpy kid movie series. No idea why; we just find them so hilarious. Last night we went to the midnight premiere of movie #3 in the series, Dog Days. We were laughing so hard. The other ten people (yes, TEN) in the theater were probably super annoyed...but we were having fun! ;) For those of you who have not yet seen any of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies..SEE THEM! They are so great when you're in the mood for a good laugh. Here's a clip of the third movie. Please...soak in its hilariousness (if that's even a word).

Arise and Shine--The best job in the world.

This summer I had the opportunity to work as an EFY counselor. Let me tell you, it is THE greatest job in the entire world. I felt like I was on a mini-mission or something and I LOVED it. The theme this year was D&C 115:5--"Arise and shine forth, that thy light may be a standard for the nations." So, incidentally, everything we did every week was focused on missionary work. Living in happy valley, Orem, Utah my whole life has given me the idea that I don't need to do missionary work because, well, everyone I know is already LDS. I thought I had it easy, but man, I was wrong. EFY gave me a new perspective on missionary work and its importance. It should be something we do every day through the things we think, say, and do. The youth of this church are simply AMAZING. They taught me so much more than I taught them. I love the youth of this church. 

Along with having great spiritual experiences, EFY is filled with some of the greatest people you will ever meet. I met so many wonderful people--youth, counselors, session directors, and even the people serving us food at the Cannon Center were so happy and exuberant. It made me even more grateful for this gospel and the joy it brings into our lives. EFY changes lives. We had a joke (I don't know if it's appropriate to call it that...but oh well) that EFY should be called EFC (Especially for the Counselors) because it's just as great of an experience for each of us as it is for the youth. I LOVE EFY!

The church (and EFY) is true, the sky is blue, and life. is. good. :)

Here are some pictures from my weeks at EFY. Hopefully they somewhat convey how great it was--but, they are just pictures after all. Enjoy!
