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!

  1. I hate that you wrote "Quality time with quality people" That just makes me cringe! haha

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling. It was a great read and I am glad that I took the time to read it, however there is one question that has stuck in the back of my mind: "What are you scared of today?" As I have continu...

UPDATE

UPDATE: saying yes is hard, sometimes (a lot of times) I choose sleep over clean hair, and these people make my heart oh so happy! As I continue to give fully to my job and to the people in my life, I continue to learn more and more that these humans give me more than I could ever give them.  And that is completely worth it. 

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or...
