Not One Of My Brightest Ideas...


Once upon a time I had like 150ish homework problems due in my math class. So I went to the library and worked on it and then I had to go to work. After work I started doing homework back at my house about 11:00pm...and worked all through the night...I didn't go to sleep at all, just went to class this morning and then somehow made it through the day until I had my math test this afternoon! I haven't seen my bed since I woke up yesterday and let me just say, I am exhausted. This was definitely not one of my better ideas. I didn't even get all of my homework done before it was due today, and I have been struggling all day long. I bought some "no sleep" pills from the Quickstop on campus (basically a caffeine pill and while I would not usually just go straight to that, I had no other choice today.) I took one about 45 min before my test and I am so grateful because I was awake and alert and there is no way I could have been without it. But I have yet to sleep because now I am feeling a bit awake and it's too late for a nap if I want to have any chance at sleeping tonight. I know the crash is coming. I also know that this is not probably not even making any sense! So having said that I have now been up for 34hours and counting...

Also I just have to tell you this adorable story! I was at work last night at the USU Basketball game and this cute little special needs grandpa comes up and starts talking to me! He was precious! I am pretty sure he thought I was someone else but it doesn't even matter because I just went a long with things. First he asked me how I was and what I had been up too and then he grabbed my hand and asked how my day was. I told him it was pretty good and he asked what "my boyfriend" had done for me. Haha this old man was appalled when I told him I didn't have a boyfriend, gave my hand a kiss, and then left to watch the game. Well, not even 10 min later he appeared at my register and gave me this Hershey's Kiss. Not only was it darling anyways but it made me feel so loved. Every time he walk past the store he waved at me and her was seriously just the cutest little thing! I was so touched at the love he had and his desire to share it! For reasons other than the holiday, I had a long and hard day/week and my night was totally made by this stranger who was genuinely happy, and who genuinely wanted to see me happy as well. It was precious, and something I will remember for quite some time. 



The sweetest little special needs grandpa brought me this at work for Valentines Day when he found out I didn't have a boyfriend!

Touched By The Spirit

My cousin Cade had his Missionary Farewell yesterday and I feel so blessed to have been able to attend. First off, he is amazing. He is one of the funniest people I know and he is smart and a musical genius. He is simply his own person and there are endless characteristics/qualities that he possess that I would love to develop in myself. So I mean it is easy to say that I love the kid to death. But he spoke in sacrament meeting and the spirit that he brought was truly inspiring, and stronger than anything I have felt in a long time. It touched my heart. And I knew that he was called of God to serve, that he is worthy to serve, and that he has a testimony of the gospel and our Savior, Jesus Christ. It was such an incredible experience. When he concluded he played an original arrangement of Be Still My Soul on the piano and again the spirit was overwhelming. That is my favorite hymn, and it brings me so much comfort which I coincidentally really needed at that moment. Reminding ...

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. ...

Just A Friendly Reminder:)

It's nothing new. We've all heard it before. "You cant judge a book by its cover" and "be careful what you say, everyone is fighting their own battles, and we don't know what others are facing..." and many more quotes and saying that tell us that everyone is going through something and we don't know, so we cant judge, we cant take offense, because we don't know what they may be going through. And what may be easy to you may be a challenge for them and vice versa so we cannot look down on anyone for what they are going through. Now this makes perfect sense to me because I know I certainly have trials and I have met some people in my life that have had their fair share of struggles. It's just something that I have always understood, however sometimes it isn't always the first thing on my mind, and because of that, I got my reminder this week. I have been feeling really upset about the way someone very very important to me has been ignoring...
