For the Strength of Youth: Captain America
This is a great video to show Mormon standards. Plus the skit is pretty funny, too!

The girl who silenced the world for 5 minutes
This girl is a perfect example of who can can be and what we can do. She was just one voice, yet everone was silent and listlened when she spoke. You may just be one voice, one person, one child. But if you try, you could change the world.

Pictures, Videos, and Quotes
Seeing this picture reminded me of all those lost, in all of our lives. I miss them all, and I am really thankful for being able to believe, to know, that I will see them all in heaven again one day when Heavenly Father is ready to take me back to his Holy Kingdom. I want to meet all of the prophets of old, and new. Nephi, Joseph Smith, Alma, Hinkley. I would also like to meet my grandpa, and get to know London better. Right now, though, I am happy to be here, to be alive, and to be with people who love me.

This video is so cute, amazing, wonderful, and inspiring. It is (I think) the cancer patients, their families, friends, and even some hospital workers dancing and singing to "What Makes You Stronger". These guys are so amazing, and so strong, to be able to go through all of what's happening with them. This so seems to explain exactly how they feel. Their eyes are just shining and bright, whether they are sick or not. These guys arae true heroes.

This kid has such a strong spirit. He has such a good heart, and despite his problems, he always looks for the good in life. I think we could all leard a thing or two from Austin. I will definantly try to "Live Like Austin".
That video, right (^^)there, is a really good messsage to anyone and everyone. You don't have to be good at prayers to say one. God wants to talk to you 24/7. And the more you pray, and LISTEN for answers, the eaiser it will get to say them and hear them.
Other Stuff
-Life is what YOU make of it.
-God didn't give you challenges, problems, and obstacles so you could complain, wait for someone to fix it for you, and then give up. He gave them to you because he knew you were strong and that you could handle it. He won't leave you all alone, but he sure isn't going to let you just walk away without learning anything, either.
-You can't hide from your mistakes, mess ups, and especially not God. Just look what happened to Jonah.
-Obstacles in life are like giant walls: they are too long to go around, so you may as well go over. And even if you feel like crap climbing up, you'll feel a lot better when you get to the other side. And all the exercise can get you into pretty good shape.
*you will have to copy and paste the websites into your search engine. Blogger just updated all their stuff, and I am still figuring out how to do a few things, like getting my links to work.

A Little Bit of Everything
Sorry for not posting for so long. It has just been kind of crazy lately. Well, I guess this is just going to be kind of a collection of a lot of stuff.
I want to start off with prom and summer. I know Im a little late to be talking about prom, but I felt like I should touch on the subject a little. For all the girls out there, I know it must be a bit difficult to find a prom dress that is modest. These days, you can almost never find one that doesn't show too much back, too much of the of the front, and/or has straps, let alone sleeves. But there are still dresses out there. Just remeber: you don't have to show yourself off to look beautiful.
And as for summer, I know it's getting hot. So a lot of you are probably getting out your summer clothes and shopping for a swimsuit, right? Well, just because it's hot doesn't mean that you should go around wearing tiny tanktops or skintight shorts that cover up about as much as your underwear. And when shopping for a swimsuit, (I know this may be a challenge) but try to find something other than a bikini. You can still look good in a swimsuit, even if it doesn't cover up as little as your underclothes. I do not intend to seem rude or harsh to you ladies, but for me, what you wear reflects a little of who you are. And to see girls running around with as little as they can manage, well, you get the idea. If you are wearing things like that to get attention, or to impress guys, then you have the wrong idea. You shouldn't have to get attention from ANYONE for wearing next to nothing. People should want to see you for your accomplishments, for your talents, for YOU. Guys should want to get to know you better because they admire your beauty within. You ARE beautiful, no matter what others say. And as long as you know and remember that, you shouldn't have to feel like you have to prove yourself to anyone.
Now, talking about beauty, here's a story for you girls (and guys) about true beauty.

Now, we all have those feelings as teenagers, where we we start liking the opposite gender, and are always talking about who likes who. But sometimes we get so overwhelmed with each other because sometimes, it is just a little hard to understand each other. So here is another website, where guys and girls talk about each other:

I guess that this is it, for right now anyways. Again, I am really sorry for not having posted anything in a while. And just as a reminder, you can email us at alexis_brim@msn.com if you need something, have problems and/or questions, or just want to talk. I will be here for you guys in anyway that I can. *And just a reminder, everything sent through email will be kept private, unless you dont want it to be* I would also grealty appreciate it if you would email any ideas or suggestions to put on the blog. Stories, topics, a shout out, pretty much anything if I approve it. Thanks for visiting the blog! Hopefully I will start working on it a little bit more soon! ~AJ
