One Silly Little Month

In one silly  little month I will take my very last final and be finished with my sophomore year of college...YIKES!
How can it be just one month away? Part of me cant wait until it is one month from today. I can be carefree, enjoying the sunshine and summertime! I can't wait for warm weather and no school and adventures all the time. Baseball games and cookouts and swimming and basketball in the driveway with the little brothers. It's going to be grand!

Another part of me though wishes time would stand still.
And not move at all...let's just stay right here for forever and a day.

I have been blessed with some pretty incredible people in my life, it's overwhelming sometimes. I look around me sometimes and wonder how I got lucky enough to have such wonderful people in my life!  In one silly little month comes a lot of very hard goodbyes.
One silly little month brings hard final exams, projects, presentations, and packing packing and more packing.
It brings moving away from the people and the town that I have grown to love more fully this year. It means saying goodbye...and we all know how I feel about saying goodbye.

In one silly little month so much can happen. 
Camping trips, concerts, family visits, General Conference, tests galore, graduations, road trips, many late nights at the LIB, endless laughter, and memories made that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.

One silly little month separates me from the way things are now and the way things will be when everything changes.

One silly little month.

I Know I Have Dreams

It's been a while since I have written anything on here. And I know it's been a while. I know that the last few weeks have been crazy, and that that is part of it. But I also know that I have sat down to write here more times than I would care to admit. I know that I have a million thoughts running around in my head. I know that I want to figure out how to let the words out and have them make sense. I know I have all these ideas about what I want to do with my life, what I want to accomplish, and who I want to become, and yet I lack the knowledge of how to get there. I know I have dreams. I know I want to be somebody that people can look up too someday. I know what I love. I know I have to make choices. I know that I ramble. A lot. I know a lot of things. Maybe I will talk about everything. Maybe I will save a post or two for another day. I know that this post is going to be long.  I know that this post may be very varied when it comes to topics. I know that n...

How True This Is

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...
