I'm sure I've said it time and time again, but I hate Satan. He's literally a Pea Brain. He thinks or thought he could take on our Heavenly Fathers plan and thinks even more so that he can take on us. Sometimes he does get to us, in our deepest and sincerest moments of life he nicks right at the hard core. But, he's nothing compared to our Heavenly Father who has all power and He is the one who wants to make us happy.
There's so many emotions in us. Happy, sad, anger, jealousy, excitement, laughter, crying,--crying because you're laughing--, and peace.
Peace is something that can be extremely hard for me to explain. It's a feeling that everything is going to be alright when your world feels like it's completely falling apart. It's the feeling that you get of almost overwhelming happiness that's true and sincere. It's the feeling that even though life is pulling you a billion different directions, that it will all work out somehow. It's the feeling of our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ.
Whether it was at EFY, Seminary, or at church I can't remember but I do remember my teacher showing us a scripture about if it "Inspiration or Indigestion" to help us discover the answers and feelings that we get concerning everyday life. I wish I knew the reference, but it had a list of things we feel and occur in our lives, and Satan can imitate those emotions. Every single one. Except one. Peace. He can not and will not ever be able to imitate peace that we feel from doing what we should. He never will get that outstanding opportunity to teach us the power and impact that God has in our lives for us to know the path we should take. He just can't. It's not in his nature and he just...can't
So my friends, I ask you one thing: seek a question out this week. It doesn't have to be major or anything. But pray about it. Search and ponder the scriptures about it. Do things that will bring positivity and happiness and answers. You will find the answer.
Peace is just fantastic. I love it. And since that Pea Brain can't imitate it, I'm just fine and dandy with that. :)

And now for the reminiscing of photos from this past last week -o- school!
I love these weirdos.
We may or may not have caught a butterfly/moth/winged-creature. Needless to say Kaz loved it...so much that she shook the container like crazy and probably shook the brains of the poor thing.
When we style, we style hard. :) Playing dress up is still fab with this girl.
Giving grandma Barnes a Mother's Day gift the right way!
Seminary Grad gift for Zach and Faith!...alright Faith was in a hurry so I didn't get a picture with her.
Hot dang.
Booyah.
Oh adorbs.
When Tanner and Shae fight who's going to sit shotgun in my car, I slide in real quick and lock the doors and proceed to drive away until the darn kids block the road.
They could be models I tell ya.
So graduation was long and really long and I remembered I had a coloring app on my phone "for the grandkids" it was a jolly 'ol time. Meet Fred and Al.
The game totally changed when I found out you can doodle on your own photos.
Tanner the pirate/bearded/man/thing with a flower headband.
Oh Chrissy Chris drooling over bae.
Pizzzzzzaaaaa.
We quite literally got rained out at graduation. So crazy. But so awesome.
Of course we went to Jake's.
THEY SPELLED MY NAME RIGHT AT MCDONALDS. THIS IS MONUMENTAL.
Last temple Tuesday as juniors. *Tear, tear*
Oh Chris. I heart your selfies.
How Jacob and I felt about math by the last week of school.
Making ice cream in chemistry! My fingers were bright red and probably close to frostbite by the time we were done. But all well worth it!
Seriously some of the best ice cream ever.
Taaaaaacccccoooo Tuesssdayyyyy! Thanks KayD for getting me a taco. I appreciate it. And bringing your adorable duck.
Taco selfie with our favorite Puerto Rican!
I wasn't kidding about the duck.
Oh the lovely surprises I find when cleaning out my locker. Thanks for the creepy face friends. And my new name. And it's spelled MARISSCA.
Saw Ephraim's Rescue in seminary. This quote tugs at my feels every time so it was about time I made a collage.
Found this oldie of these cuties. I friggin love my cute nephews.
Look how wittle we were. Man I can't believe she's graduated and all growed up. We rocked them poofy bands and fancy princess dresses over our clothes. *Dusts off shoulder*
I love my Kenzie girl. She's been my pal since Kindergarten and makes me laugh more and smile more everytime I see her. True friend right here.
We went to Burger Bar and I was ticket #1! And we all got ginormous, delicious burgers!
Look we're cute, and I'm hanging on a wall.
