The Top TEN!

Okay so it's actually two different top ten lists but that's fine. Here we go.

The top TEN….

Things I have learned this semester…

10. Even when school is hard it can be enjoyable.
9. Drives up the canyon can do a lot of good.
8. Sometimes I struggle with people.
7. People are more understanding if you just go talk to them about what is going on.
6. My brain is capable of more than I ever will understand.
5. Some days you just need to buy a cheesecake. And that's okay.
4. Taking chances=worth the risk.
3. Even though trials may be hard, in the end you will learn something. Keep going.
2. People can be major blessings in your life.
1. I will do absolutely anything for the ones that I love. Even if they don’t realize it.

Things I did this semester…..(in no particular order)

10. Went snowboarding TWICE (this probably doesn't seem like a big deal but it actually is).
9. Sparklers up the canyon.
8. Tri-wizard tournament (scrapped my shoulder up pretty bad and ended the night covered in raw egg but I won the goblet of fire so that's all that matters, right?) .
7. Learned to long board (I use the term "learned" loosely but it still happened).
6. JAZZ GAME! (holla!)
5. Played lots of volleyball/racquetball (quality time spent with quality people).
4. Backpacking in Zions.
3. Emily’s baptism.
2. Conference weekend with the sis.
1. JOINED THE A-TEAM.

The great thing about making these lists is that it reminds me that there are so many MORE things that I could include! It reminds me what a great semester it has been, even if at times it felt like it was pretty crummy and that it would never be over! I am one lucky duck!

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...
