This Crazy Thing We Call Life!

I know I know it's been a trillion years since I have blogged and I apologize! Here's the thing though...MY LIFE IS INSANE! So crazy! I feel like I am constantly doing homework or working and guess what, I am major burnt out right now! I've had enough with professors who repeat themselves a trillion times, and enough of dumb homework, and (if we're being completely honest) enough of people. I miss my best friend and she's only been gone for a little less than 6 months (only 12 more to go). I miss old roommates and being able to sit around the house with roommates and just talk or laugh about anything and everything. And on top of all of that, I have been sick for the past week, my lungs are screaming at me, and I am totally over it! But tonight I don't want to talk about any of that. I will blog soon about other things in my life but for now there is something I want to share with ya'll that I learned today. About Boys. I hate them. And I understand them a...

Okay listen. My life has been pretty crazy these last few weeky-weeks! I am exhausted constantly, and I feel like I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut clean off! Between packing and moving and unpacking and school and work and homework times a trillion (yes I really do have homework already...I told you crazy!) things have been less than relaxing the last few weeks. My new roommates are all super nice, however I feel like such a bum because most of the time I just do homework instead of being able to play and get to know them better! Even yesterday when we didn't have school our plans got foiled when it decided to rain on us. Curses! WELL today after class one of my neighbors (and good friend) finally was able to go up the canyon a ways for rock climbing! He's pretty much an expert and has been wanting us to go for a while now, and finally we were able to go! And let me tell you, it was great! I got to meet some new people, get closer to people I al...

Isn't it funny how life takes you places you never even dreamed of ending up? How sometimes you think you are headed down one path when in reality you are headed down a totally different one? How one day you can wake up with a dream you never even knew you had, or even existed? How you can want something and be dreading it's arrival at the same exact time? How people can turn out to be completely different from who you thought they were, in both a good and bad way? How life can surprise you beyond all measure? Or how it flies by without you even realizing? Isn't it funny how we grow into the person we already are?

Okay friends, (or strangers, or whoever reads this besides me) let's be real here. I have a job that I am not too fond of. I mean, come on, does this really look that great?! Today I felt like I was the only one who could solve a problem, dealt with crazies, and struggled through party after party.  BUT! A few days ago I talked with a nice lady who came in and booked a party for her daughter. The party was today. I ended up being scheduled to host their party.  And they were simply the cutest. The Birthday Girl was 8 and darling! And they were just so nice! Completely turned my day around with their compliments and kind words. The Birthday Girl wanted me in pictures and while I was reluctant, I kind of wish that I had a copy of the pictures taken today. It reminded me that there are good, nice, happy people in the world. Which is really just great! I had to talk to them one more time after their party had finished before I left (break time)...the Dad s...

Tonight I want to talk about something serious. Something I have found highly prevalent in my life these days. I have found that my emotions are so tightly tied to others. Which I am not too fond of. But here's the deal. It is not connected in the sense of me caring what people think of me or wanting the approval of others, that is not it at all. As a teenage girl obviously I have had my share of insecurities, don't get me wrong, but now it is different. Emotionally, I get truly invested in everything around me. My emotions run deep and I feel everything deep down to my core. And often times, especially lately it seems, I look at this as maybe a downfall. I am too invested, I care too much, it's too exhausting. But today I had the thought, (and maybe this is totally wrong) but Our Savior, Jesus Christ was truly devoted, and gave everything. He loved deeply and truly and because of that love I am blessed beyond measure. From the very beginning He was all in....

Heyyyo! So my best friend Lexy is serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints right now and so I send her letters and such..and naturally they always include pictures of either me or her and her companion...or sometimes both. Haha yes! My art one skills are shining through for sure! Mrs. Blair would be so proud!....maybe.. (Ps.I know it's super confusing because there is Lexy A. who is my best friend, but then there is also Alexis H. who is my sis and best friend...and they both go by Lex....) Really though, Lexy is awesome and doing amazing things in WI. If you don't know what a missionary is, if you want more information about what Lexy is doing, or if you are interested in meeting with a set of LDS Missionaries in your area, click  here!

(excuse my ridiculous self in most of these pictures #honeybagerdon'tcare! some of these were taken by the beautiful and wonderful Alexis aka my little sis and best friend aka my person #greysreference #shewouldgetit AKA the person I am ridiculous with...hence the pictures!:)) ALSO PS.
