DAY OFFICIALLY MADE!!!

I absolutely love those ordinary days, where life is good, and you are content with how things are. The days where nothing out of the ordinary happens, they are just good and normal and you don't think anything of them...until that one moment...when something special happens....and from then on your ordinary good day turns into a spectacular memory, all in the blink of an eye. Well that is today! And I think it is fantastic. It has gone like this...I got up and went to my first class and then left after about 5 minutes cause I didn't feel great and I just wanted to sleep...so I did. I went and took a nap and then got up and went to my second class. After that I went to one of my education classes where I had to share a slightly embarrassing essay I had written about a very good friend of  mine (the essay was on your most important learning experience) in response to which I was surprisingly met with love and support and it just made me feel good. Next I went to my last class of the day and I left a little early to go to the LDS Temple to do baptisms for the dead with a good friend, which I love doing!:) After that I went up to campus to workout in the field house. I rode the bus like usual, got my id scanned like usual, had trouble with the first bike I tried to use (sadly, like usual haha) and then settled in for a nice ride on the bike. On the bus I had called my Mom to talk to my little brother and she didn't answer so I left her a message. So I am just sitting on my bike listening to music on my phone when the music stops and it starts to ring. I had just called my mom so I thought it was her but when I grabbed my phone and looked down, it was my very good friend (the one from the paper...)! He doesn't live here anymore and he doesn't call me ever so I was almost nervous when I answered, but it was great! He had just received his call to serve a full time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and he was calling to tell me where he was going to serve for the next two years. I couldn't contain my excitement! And I have been grinning like a fool ever since! I know he is going to be an amazing missionary and I am just so dang excited for him, and all the adventures that he is going to have! Anyways we talked for a few minutes about it and somethings and then he had to go cause he had other people to call, but it didn't even bother me. DAY OFFICIALLY MADE!!!

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...

How True This Is

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...
