Good People, Growing Pains, And All The Lovey Stuff.

I love love. I am the absolute definition of a hopeless romantic (if you look it up in the dictionary I am fairly certain you will just find a picture of my face!) I love love songs and romantic lovey movies and things of that nature. It makes me so happy to see people who are in love; to see how they look at each other. I want someone to look at me that way. I want someone to need me for forever. I want to find that person that makes all those lovey quotes you see on pinterest apply to me. Not necessarily now, I am in no hurry to get to that point of my life. But at the same time I am seeing so many people in my life at that stage, and even though I am SO not ready to be there myself I still look at how happy they are and I want that in my life some day.

I got a letter from my best friend yesterday. It has been so long since I've talked to him (besides letters) and even longer since I've seen him. Man do I miss that kid. He was very open and honest with me. It was refreshing.
I also was talking to a good friend of mine the other day. We were talking about nothing and it was just nice. Also refreshing.
One friend I have known for about a year and a half now. The other I have only known for a few months. In both cases it seems like I have known them for a life time. I adore them both. I am surrounded by good people.

As a twenty year old, I don't feel like I should be having growing pains...and yet my legs hurt like crap right now. And why on earth do I have growing pains, am I seriously growing right now? That is stupid. And it hurts. I just want to go to bed and sleep for the next three weeks. I want to go home. I want to stay here. I want answers and I wont get them, at least not right now. So instead of being a grown up I just want to climb under the covers, listen to music, and forget about the world.
Don't get me wrong, I am not depressed or anything. In fact it's quite the opposite...I am happy, truly happy, and that is pretty great. But being truly happy doesn't mean I am exempt from trials or frustration....those things are inevitable. Hence the climbing under the covers plan!:)

So I got to spend Thanksgiving with some pretty incredible people. I love my family so much! They are all so fantastic and I wish I was closer to them because they are all just genuinely good people. When we get together it is always a good time full of laughter (which is basically my favorite!) We went shotgun shooting (skeet shooting) Thursday morning and I had a blast shooting a gun for the first time. Then we went back and ate dinner, played bingo and happy family (best family tradition ever), and just enjoyed each others company. Thursday night I also got to go spend time with the other side of my family and we played Apples to Apples and laughed our heads off. The dynamic in my family in a little odd...one side of the family I am one of the youngest's and all of my cousins except two are married. The others side of the family I am the second oldest. Neither is better than the other, they are just different. But they are both good and I am so grateful for my family. The moral of the story is that when I made it back to my humble abode here in Logan (and while I was there with everyone) I was overwhelmed with love for the beautiful people in my life.



So things we learned from today's rambling....

1. I could use some answers, but if they don't come that's okay...I have a plan.
2. Growing Pains=No Bueno
3. I miss old friends, and am grateful for the new ones.
4. Family trumps everything.
5. Be romantic, sweep me off my feet, I am a sucker for the lovey stuff.

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. 

I Sort Of Hate Making Decisions About Life.

Sometimes I have to make decisions about my life. And those decisions are hard and they scare me and I don't know what to do. Sometimes I think I have an answer and then a few days later I am doubting and second guessing everything that I think I  have figured out. It's so not cool. And above all I can't handle that fact that I don't know what I am supposed to do! How do I figure this out? How do I know if I am making the right decision? How? How do I know what it is that I am supposed to do? My life is a tad jumbled and messy right now.

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...
