Star Stickers!

Today was the last day of classes. I just have a week of tests and a long day of driving that separate me from home and summer and family and friends. And I am so freaking excited haha! I literally cannot wait! But there are also some things I am going to miss. Logan is beautiful! I absolutely love it. I will miss the mountains and the cool air and all the trees. I will miss having the temple 3 blocks away, and seeing it every single day from up on campus. Such a blessing. And tonight especially I am feeling a little sadness at the loss of my star stickers. When I moved in 9 months ago I realized that very first night that some one who had lived in my room previously had put up a star sticker galaxy on my ceiling. And at first I was a little bugged by it. But I cant tell you the number of nights I have laid awake staring at those star stickers thinking about everything under the sun. They have been a comfort and a confidant for the last year and I have truly grown to love them. I will miss my star stickers. Ha I sound like I am five. But each night as I lay in bed I watch them till they fade and I am reminded of so many beautiful things. So secret previous tenant of apt. 3 room A, I thank you. Your stickers have become pretty dang special to me. And to whoever gets this room in the future....enjoy!:)

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...

16 Things I Learned In 2016

Here it is. I cant believe that it is already New Year's Eve. This year has gone so fast and so slow. It has been happy and hard and different than I ever imagined it would be. This time last year, I was at my parent's house in Texas. So much has changed since I rung in the new year with little brothers and 60 degree weather, and as I have spent the day with just two cute puppies and my thoughts I have been overwhelmed with all that the last year has given me. So here it is, in no particular order...16 things that I learned in 2016. 16. Travel Often. Across the ocean or just a few hours away, take the time to see new places. It is ALWAYS worth it. 15. It's okay to say no. Sometimes, you can only give how much your heart will allow. You must take care of yourself before you can take care of others. I learned this through my job, but it is a lesson that I have needed to apply to my entire life for a very long time. ...

Tonight I Feel Broken.

Not completely, but a little bit yeah. I am so tired, my eyes are heavy and they burn. I have no desire to do anything at this point. It's cold and my body just sort of hurts. We've gotten snow the last two days and I am not a fan. Last night I got a phone call from my Father. Apparently my parents haven't been talking to each other about some things in my life the way I had hoped. I sat on my floor a sobbed talking to my Dad on the phone. I miss him. Not only is he my Dad, but he's one of my best friends and favorite people to be around. We had a very good talk and it helped me a lot...or so I thought. I then spent the night watching a movie and hanging out with some friends. It was great. I cant explain the love I feel when I am with such wonderful people. I went to bed last night just as confused as I the night before, just as confused as I will tonight. It's hard. My Mom keeps telling me I can do hard things. Today she made me promise that when I doubt myself or...
