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

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

Every Day Is A Battle

Every day is a battle. Some days I win and some days I lay my head down at night and think "I will try again tomorrow." Life is hard and it was meant to be that way. But even with that knowledge and understanding it is still sometimes a struggle to get through. I am at the point where everything is bothering me. And it is little stupid things and the worst part is that in the back of my head I know that I am being ridiculous. I know that I am over reacting and that I should not be so irritated by these things. But I am. I am bothered by stupid little things. And I don't really know what to do to make that go away. I don't want to push away these people in my life because they are good people. But at the same time I get so angry when I am there and I just cant figure it out. School is crazy right now, and I just started working again, which is great but also rough because that is one more thing I need to worry about. I have a great group of friends that I love spending
