Not One Of My Brightest Ideas...


Once upon a time I had like 150ish homework problems due in my math class. So I went to the library and worked on it and then I had to go to work. After work I started doing homework back at my house about 11:00pm...and worked all through the night...I didn't go to sleep at all, just went to class this morning and then somehow made it through the day until I had my math test this afternoon! I haven't seen my bed since I woke up yesterday and let me just say, I am exhausted. This was definitely not one of my better ideas. I didn't even get all of my homework done before it was due today, and I have been struggling all day long. I bought some "no sleep" pills from the Quickstop on campus (basically a caffeine pill and while I would not usually just go straight to that, I had no other choice today.) I took one about 45 min before my test and I am so grateful because I was awake and alert and there is no way I could have been without it. But I have yet to sleep because now I am feeling a bit awake and it's too late for a nap if I want to have any chance at sleeping tonight. I know the crash is coming. I also know that this is not probably not even making any sense! So having said that I have now been up for 34hours and counting...

Also I just have to tell you this adorable story! I was at work last night at the USU Basketball game and this cute little special needs grandpa comes up and starts talking to me! He was precious! I am pretty sure he thought I was someone else but it doesn't even matter because I just went a long with things. First he asked me how I was and what I had been up too and then he grabbed my hand and asked how my day was. I told him it was pretty good and he asked what "my boyfriend" had done for me. Haha this old man was appalled when I told him I didn't have a boyfriend, gave my hand a kiss, and then left to watch the game. Well, not even 10 min later he appeared at my register and gave me this Hershey's Kiss. Not only was it darling anyways but it made me feel so loved. Every time he walk past the store he waved at me and her was seriously just the cutest little thing! I was so touched at the love he had and his desire to share it! For reasons other than the holiday, I had a long and hard day/week and my night was totally made by this stranger who was genuinely happy, and who genuinely wanted to see me happy as well. It was precious, and something I will remember for quite some time. 



The sweetest little special needs grandpa brought me this at work for Valentines Day when he found out I didn't have a boyfriend!

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...
