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

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...
