Elder Nathan Robert Jensen

So I didn’t really talk about my night in PG! I got the opportunity to go down to Pleasant Grove for Nathan’s mission call. It was so fun! I first went to Brooke Larsen’s house in South Jordan where Jordyn met up with us. We went shopping for a cute new bag and then also to the Summer Salad Social!!! Haha there were really good salads. Then Kelly and Erin joined us, it was our happy family of school friends on a ROAD TRIP!
We then drove out to PG and got to the house before Nate did, but that’s okay because his mom, Lisa, loves us! We then just got to play around and meet all of Nate’s very attractive (but rather short) friends. I feel like he was holding back on us! He then got to open his mission call! Ventura, California, English speaking Mission, and he reports to the MTC on September 30th (in case you were wondering).
I think my favorite part was the car ride back home with the girls. I missed them so much and it was just a huge DANCE PARTY!! I am so glad I made such good friends and had such amazing roommates my first year of college! It was a trip like that that reminded me that my life is LEGIT!

Who Used All the Black Crayon?

Guys, I am used to about 14 views each post. That's it (which is weird, because I post every blog link to my family's Facebook group and there are 40 of us in there... Thanks guys!). I was not expecting that many hits on one post, but I got it, and it has sparked a lot of conversation that I feel to be very productive. I have been so honored by the respect I have been given from those who’s opinions differ from mine, and the dialogue we have been able to have on the matter of race in today's society. Some of the best conversations have come from the, "But why?" question. But why is that offensive? On Facebook I shared this Vox link , so I won't get into that, but I do want to take some time to talk about taking offense. Life is a collection of experience. After one is written into our book, the next experience will be affected because of it. In kindergarten, I had a true Corrina, Corrina experience in class, when someone asked, "Who used all ...

PSA: You Didn't Win Halloween & Neither Did I

Last night my social media feed was filled with photos of friends attending their weekend parties in their Halloween costumes. There were a couple families and friend groups who were the cast of Napoleon Dynamite, a hilarious couple who went as their dogs, Curious George and the man in the Yellow Suite, and even Tess and Emily Tyler (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from Billboard Dad). People are so creative when it comes to Halloween costumes! I am so not! But then I saw a couple’s costume I was so unbelievable uncomfortable with. alloween It was on Snapchat. Two people, one had painted himself brown to depict a character, a “hero” from a TV show we all watched in high school. Not just face painted, but arms, neck, chest. Then they added the chains. This, to that couple was a costume, but this also has a name, and that name is “blackface”. Minstrel shows started in the mid to late 19 th century, where white actors would paint their face to depict blacks on stage. The acto...
