Tickets and Blooms :)

Attention all citizens of Orem, Utah, the United States, and the WORLD!!

Tickets for the Miss Orem Pageant are available online! Here is the link where you will be able to purchase the golden tickets:


Finally, I've had something on my mind for the past couple of weeks, and I hope that it will bring a little light into your life :). Sometime ago my Grandma asked me, "Bridget, what happened to your bloom?" At first I didn't understand what she was asking me, and when I asked for clarification she said, "A rose is just a rose...but with the bloom returned...it's GLORIOUS!!" After my Grandma said this I had a lightbulb moment. Sometimes the hard times in life can take away the "bloom" from our flowers. Instead of letting our petals absorb the light that God has given us, we close ourselves off for many reasons: hurtful situations, people, or circumstances.
Luckily, we can restore our "bloom" in our lives. Here are three things that help me to restore my bloom: 1. "Embrace this day with an enthusiastic welcome, no matter how it looks." 2. "Be grateful for every opportunity to serve." 3. "When you are compelled to give up something or when things that are dear to you are withdrawn from you, know that this is your lesson to be learned right now. But know also that God wants to give you something better."
May we all restore the "bloom" to our lives :)
