Winter Wonderland

Oh the weather outside is frightful !!!!

Its been snowing quite a bit out here and I really don't like the snow... much at all.

hmm. I GO HOME ON THE 2oth!!!!!!!!!!!! I arrive in the Charleston airport at 4:17 pm!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO.

hmm. Here are some pictures of SNIZZOW!

Big change in my life!

I've come upon a really great opportunity to leave BYU and move up to Ogden attending Weber State University.  I am going to apply to their nursing program and then work myself in to Ogden Regional Hospital.  Ogden Regional will pay your way through school as long as you agree to work for them.  I'm really excited, and I have gotten my acceptance to Weber.  I will be leaving BYU and moving up to Ogden in January to start classes at Weber and also start taking my CNA course so I can work at the hospital.

This is a major change but I'm hoping it will all work out better in the end :)

Yay. Go CHANGE!

Wish me luck. 

I'm still coming home for Christmas on December 20th! Dont forget!

IM COMING HOME!

I fly home on Saturday Dec. 20th and will in the Charleston airport at 5:40 pm or so.  

I return back to Utah on Saturday Jan. 3rd 2008!

So I hope that I will get to see everyone and please be excited that Im coming back because I didnt think that I would be!

P.S: i would love to see everyone at the airport to meet me! :) 

Good Times In Utah.

Well its been real and its been fun. Its been real FUN!
Random Events over the last couple of weeks:

Birthday on October 2nd! We had a whipped cream fight, went to a car wash and sat ON TOP of the car while it was being washed, and I went country dancing with Sterling.
Oct. 3rd hike to Battle Creek Falls-
Sterling, I, Mavinee, and Nate all hiked to Battle Creek and then went to a park to have fun.
October 10, 2008 Rock Climbing Trip:
I did pretty well and we had so much fun hanging out doing this!

St. George Excursion

So I went to St. George this weekend with my roommate.  We had so much fun!!!

On Saturday morning, we got to be in the Swiss Days parade where Angela drove the tractor and i rode on the front being lifted and dropped... haha sounds dangerous but oh was it fun!!! and people in the crowd were gasping and thinking I was gonna die! I loved it!  

We even spent time doing our homework during the day, but after that, it was all partay.

We went fourwheeling for a while down on her farm, and that was so much fun! I thought I might get hurt a few times, but I came out triumphant with only a bruise to show. :)

Then we went to the General Relief Society Broadcast which was phenomenal, and President Uchtdorf's talk just made my day.  I had such a great experience listening to him talk about our joy and our job as women to be happy and help others.

We went to Kurt's house for his farewell party!!! I cant believe he leaves and goes to the MTC tomorrow and then to Finland in December.

After his farewell, all Angela's friends came over and had a giant sleepover in her living room.  It was so much fun, and made me really miss my friends back home. Sadd but true.

Well... Sunday was Kurt's farewell talk and then we left and came back to Provo.  

This weekend was phenomenal and St. George is gorgeous. :)

Two Weeks Into the Semester!!!!

Well its beeeeeen 2 weeks. My semester started beautifully while my roommate, Angela, and I started getting along grandly. We really hit it off. Classes have been quite nice; I think I will thoroughly enjoy this semester, it might be hard, but I love a challenge. Social life is kinda slow because Im working full time, 20 hours AND going to classes. Homework is a bit of a pain, and I dont know, I just am suffering from homesickness.


My dorm is so cute, and I love the way that we have it set up. I am in the shared room with a sink again, and loving it. We don't really have any problems with anything in our room, which is phenomenal.

New announcements? umm... I chopped off my hair, oh and BYU beat UCLA 59 to 0 this afternoon. That was awesome. hmmmmm..... I bought a new pair of shoes for 30 on sale from 70. That was quite nice. I got a new coat for 20 bucks which is adorable, its a pea coat and man oh man is it darling.

I turn 18 in 19 days... I am so thrilled, I dont even know what to do with myself. haha Im a poor college student, so I wont be having a lot of fun. Oh and I got my new address. Its:
3116 Taylor Hall
Provo, UT 84604

Yup... My favorite class this semester is probably going to be Book of Mormon. I love the spirit of the class, and the discussions that we get into. Its not so much doctrine based as it is how the doctrines make you feel. It probably wont help me on the exams, but its really building my testimony to read 30 minutes a day and record what I feel/think.

Oh yeah. Elder Holland spoke at BYU last Sunday for a CES conference to all Young Adults. I suggest you look up his talk, it changed my life. It was all about dealing with trials, and was based on D&C sections 121, 122, 123 while the Prophet Joseph was jailed in Liberty. The jail, although incarceration, was more liberating than a lot of other trials come upon by the Prophet. We all need to realize that through our trials, we gain knowledge both spiritual and temporal to help us make it through the day.

Well... I should go do homework. Please text me, remember me in your prayers.

I love you all.

School Starts tomorrow!!!!!

So Yeahhh.

I am not really that nervous about class starting tomorrow I just am worried about the specific course load that I'm taking. Stat 221 is going to be quite a challenge for me. Chem 101 will hopefully be a breeze.

I start tomorrow and I'm working 21 hours this week, then 21 hours next week.

Juggling work and school will be hard... but pray for me. I need all the help I can get. :)

Good Riddance.

My summer term has been over for almost a week and I dont miss it one little bit... Okay maybe I miss my friends but other than that... not really anything else is missable. I started working, and It is awesome. I am considered a computer technician. I cannot believe it. Its amazing.

Classes start on Sep. 2nd, and until then I am staying with my family friends, the LaFontaines. They are so nice and even let me drive their Denali to work when I need to. I have been so blessed by the Lord and I am so thankful for that.

My fall schedule is kinda difficult, but Idk I will survive. But yeahhh. Not much is going on in my life except that I am working and sleeping, and thats about it. :) Oh. and Danny put me on his family membership to THROWDOWN which is the largest martial arts gym in the country. So I am going to get back into kickboxing and stuff while Im out here. I am so stoked. You have no idea.

Wellp. Not much else is new, so this is me peacing out.

Another day at BYU.

Well. Its an absolutely fabulous day at BYU. Everything is running pretty smoothly and I got my work done that is due tomorrow so that's a good thing. umm. hmm. Well life is going well, and I am just super excited to be nearing finals next week, then Ill stay with the Lafontaines while Im working until I get time off during the 25th through 30th. That'll be really nice :)

I start work on Monday, August 11th. I work 1-5 every day for the following 2 weeks.... other than that... oh yeah.

Well my friends and I went to the Breaking Dawn Release Party at the BYU Bookstore. That in itself was amazing! We all dressed up as vampires, and I was Victoria, the one in Eclipse that tries to take down Bella but dies... yeahh. lol Then all last weekend was about me reading Breaking Dawn. Which I finished and LOVED. It was absolutely amazing. Great Book. fantastic. I suggest it. hmm.

Finals are coming up, like I said, and since Im working during Finals week, I am going to have to be studying a lot this upcoming weekend. This is going to be fun, and its sad because my first term at BYU is almost over. All 6 of our group, my roommate and I, Ali and Lucy, and Whitney and Jessica all have to split up and move to different housing units on campus, which is dreadful. Ive grown to love these girls like sisters and its really sad that our time here together as roomies is ending.

Exciting news... none really. SO yeah. Ill close. This is my journal entry for the time being :)
I love you all.

I GOT THE JOB!!!!

So I went in for my interview at 4 pm with the Office of IT; who are the people on campus that handle every computer problem imaginable. I interviewed for the position as the Office of IT Agent which means that I answer phone calls and talk to professors who are having problems with their technological devices. This job starts at 8.50 hr and raises 50 cents each semester based on performance.

Well my interview went like this:

I walked in and sat across the room from Jared and Megan; they are the two who will be over me in the job I'm taking. Well first off they asked me to describe myself; so I told them everything they needed to know. I basically gave them the readers digest version of what makes me, well me. Then they asked me a whole bunch of random questions about my computer now and my experience with other computers. I answered these honestly, because I do know a lot about computers. So then they just kept popping random questions about computers. Well... they got to one about having me describe the process of connecting to a wireless connection to someone who had never connected before. I did this, and then he asked me if I have a photographic memory. I do when it comes to computers, so I said yes. They enjoyed that fact about me.
Then he asked me a strictly creative question about how I would go about seeing the number of quarters it would take to stack up as tall as the Empire State Building. This was really interesting because this is what I said: I would fly a helicopter over the top of the building and drop a bundle of weighted string until it hit exactly the bottom. Then I would clip the string at the exact top of the steeple. Next, I would measure the width of a quarter, and divide that width into the length of the string which measured the entire distance of the Empire State Building. The number of times that width divided in would be equal to the number of quarters it would take.

He told me that was the most creative answer he has ever gotten before. I was thrilled. He fussed about my creativity. They asked me a few more questions, and asked me to step outside while they chatted for a few moments, after which they would call me back inside.

So I went outside and started talking to Britni, the secretary at the front desk. Not a minute later, Jared came out and asked me to come back inside.

He then asked me how badly I wanted this job. I said to imagine a dog with a bone dangling in his face... he wants the bone but he has been trained to wait until alloted a time to eat it. So replace that bone with a steak, and imagine Im a dog that has been starved for 3 weeks. My mouth is watering, but all I can do is wait for the steak to be dropped to me.

Then he told me that my creativity was enthralling. He enjoyed my wonderful magnetic personality. He did start to say that i was wrong in the fact that the customer isnt always right; especially with our position as teaching the person on the phone how to work things. So at that moment, I thought he was going to decline me the position. Yet... he abruptly offered me the job. And of course I accepted. This is like the best day ever!!! I am so excited.

I got a job by being myself, so this means that I will absolutely love it. And Im sure I will. :)

Job Search.

Ive started applying for jobs for the fall/winter.

SO far, I have my application in at the hospital for a housekeeping position in the nighttime on weekends from 11:00 to 7:30 am that would pay 8.75 an hr. I really want that job. Pray for me that I will be able to get it and that will help me since I have NO money. haha

The other jobs Im applying for are secretarial positions... I am going to get a day job on like tuesdays and thursday when I have like no classes. It will be a nice change. :) I hope everything works out.

Cuz. I. Need. A. Job.

Over Halfway Done.

I am so excited to be over more than halfway done here for the summer term. It has been an amazing semester. i spent all weekend with allie Cunningham, my best friend, who was up from Idaho to fly back home... I envy her!

I miss home. Ive made a list of everything I miss from home:

1. beach

2. family

3. friends

4. humidity

5. trees

6. beach

7. beach

... haha. :)

But I love Utah because:

1. Mountains

2. Its Pretty. oh so pretty.

3. I like BYU, and its in Utah.

Why I hate Utah: (long list)

1. no beach

2. no humidity

3. high altitude

4. stupid rivalries between BYU and Univ. of Utah

5. people are soooo fake!?!

6. drivers here are terrible.

7. everything is more expensive

8. I dont have a car in Utah.

9. I dont have my family and friends in Utah.

okay... well Im done complaining. Ill upload some amazing pictures I took on a Sunday drive through Eden, which was amazingly beautiful. :) Thats the reason I'll stay in Utah, its gorgeous.

Fourth of July with Family!

well. this weekend was awesome!

My gramma came and picked me up from BYU on thursday afternoon, and I drove back down to Ogden. I absolutely loved the drive, it was pretty and a lot of fun.

On thursday we went bowling and had a great time with my gramma and her boyfriend Orrin.

On Friday, We went to a ward breakfast, to promitery point, then we went and watched fireworks as a family. that was super fun!

The Fireworks were awesome, but Lagoon all day Saturday was more awesome. Me and my cousin CJ went to Lagoon and had a complete blast riding rollercoasters all day long! It was a definite top 10 on my list of awesomeness.

This weekend was awesome, but now Im back at BYU and I have hw! woo hoo!

Fourth of July with Family!

I survived the Whole First Week.

Me and Megan.Tear it up.

Wow. So I am amazed its only been a week because honestly I feel like Ive been here forever!?!?! I love BYU. I love everything about it. My classes are going to be semi-difficult, but oh well. I will try my hardest!

Whitney isoh so crazy.

My roommate is amazing! My hallmates are awesome! We have spent so much time together, and I feel like Ive known them for years. The mountains here are gorgeous; I miss the ocean like soooo much but Im getting used to the dry heat and everything going on. I love BYU!!!

Whitney, Me,Megan, and Lucy
College is started! woop woop.

Verdict: First Day of Class

Well. yesterday was my first day of class. Mondays and Wednesdays are my longest days because I have 6 straight hours of classes from 8 am to 2 pm. But I honestly love my classes. I go to English 150 with Professor Izant at 8. He was so wonderful and kept my attention the entire time which was phenomenal, and he is young so its easy to relate to him. My second class is Physical Science, which is taught by Professor Hart. He is funny and really knows how to teach and grab attention. I will like his science class. My third class is Doctrine and Covenants which I think will be my favorite class just because I love the book (its my favorite of all the standard works) and My teacher starts each class with a song and a prayer. I loved that. It was entirely unfamiliar but at the same time super thrilling. Also, yesterday we didnt have much to do because most of our hallmates went to see a movie, but my roommate Megan and I decided to hang out with our good guy friends, Skyler and Brandon. WE played Frsibee for a while then decided we were hungry. So we walked about a mile until we passed this pizza place that I absolutely had to have some of... i was starving. I had skipped lunch and dinnner. haha. But we got there and ordered the pizza. Skyler and Brandon left to walk to a grocery store. So Megan and I were left in the pizza place with the one guy that worked there. His name is Ron, and he was a middle-aged man who looked lonely. So we struck up conversation with him. Ron apparently died in a car accident in 1994. It was a story to hear, and I asked him about his religious affiliation. He claimed he had none, and that God had said no, that he didnt need a religion. So I took the opportunity to try to penetrate that barrier and let the spirit speak to him through my testimony. So Megan followed me, and we finally left the pizza place about 3 and a half hours of intense interrogation and religious discussion. I felt so at peace as we left, because Brandon and SKyler had been gone about an hour, but when they got back they began teaching him also. So, we have no clue what was going through his head... All I know is that the spirit was so strong as we were talking with him, and I felt is so strongly that as I bore my testimony of the Savior, I began to weep. I have not had an experience like that until last night. I loved each moment of it. One thing is for sure, D&K pizza will have frequent visits from the four of us. :)

Today, Tuesday.... I have absolutely no classes. So I am going to catch up on my homework and do a few other things like laundry. I was supposed to hike to the Y, but that got cancelled. So I dont know whats in store... maybe another day of missionary work? I hope so, I could sure get used to that.

Freshman Orientation

Wellllll. Im here. FINally. BYUUUU!!! wooo hooo.

haha wellp. I got here on Friday morning at 10 am. I checked in and walked around the wilk center to the bookstore until the program started! Then there was a devotional at which some very good speakers explained the importance of a BYU education and becoming a disciple scholar! I got to hear Sister Susan Tanner's husband speak to the group. It was a great experience. Then they divided us up into Y groups which are boys and girls grouped together because of where they are dorming. The girls on my hall got grouped up with the Budge 1200 boys. THey are just adorable. There are three really awesome guys in our group: Brady, Brandon, and Skyler. WE have had some major laughs! So then we just went around in our Y groups and learned stuff about the campus. THe experience was awesome. That night there was this awesome little dance where they taught us dances from other countries; haha xcept there was a country western.

Saturday! WEll Saturday started at 8 am with a devotional from the University. Then we went on a tour of the campus to learn where all our classes are. I had so much fun learning about the school because I honestly didnt know that much about it! Then I left campus with my family and headed to Provo Canyon and a few other places like the mall... haha duh. I cant go without finding the mall. After that I came back here for the major dance/extravaganza. The first part was the dating game which I cant even explain but it was amazing! haha. THen we watched an amatuer magic show. He stunk but I'll give him props because he cut a chick in half... that was alright... hahaha. Maybe I shouldnt be so picky with my magicians. :) Then there was about 30 minutes of dancing outside which was soooo awesome!!! I had a GRate time. but yup. Im here.

Its Sunday morning... I am about to get ready for church. This is the verdict... I LOVE IT HERE!
BYU has grown on me... I can honestly say that I am thrilled. Wish me luck. Im in the 152nd ward!

Hiking and Frolicking Around

Well. Ive been quite busy here recently! Jason took me up the Ogden canyon and we hiked to the top of this gorgeous waterfall. It was absolutely beautiful! It took about 15 minutes to climb the 1 and a half mile hike to the top! But it was soo worth it! I love how pretty the views are from the mountiains! WE could see for miles and miles... all over Ogden and even to Layton and Roy. It was awesome! Then we climbed to the top of another mountain to go to the U on the Uintah mountain range. WElp. After that we got bored and went to play a completely competitive game of Soccer. I won. of course!!!

Today, my cousins and I went to the mall and looked around until I found the perfect shirt and flip-fl0ps... haha shoppin is da bomb. Its been a blast being here in Utah.

Im heading down to the Y on Friday morning with my Uncle Jonathan and his family. That will be super Fun!!!

Im going to bed now! More on Utah later... peace!

Rock Climbing :)

Last night Jason took my cousin and I rock climbing at the I-Rock in downtown Ogden. It was soo much fun! A great time, but I have a confession! Im afraid to climb... because Im deathly afraid of heights. I got about 20 feet in the air and realized that after I looked down, I had a bad case of the shakes and couldnt move a muscle... I completely froze. My head spun and then I was falling. Welll until the slack got out of my rope and then I was hanging and swinging... I managed to hit my head on a rock! haha. Funn times. Then we climbed up onto this 13 foot rock. and we had to jump back down onto these 4 foot think pads... Well it took me 20 mins to jump because each time I tried, I felt nauseus. Anywho...

SElica, my cousin, climbed the whole 67 feet to the top, x3!!! it was crazy... she only weighs 100 lbs tho. lol. Thats probably why. We had so much fun! So we owe Jason a big thanks for paying and taking us!

Safely in Utah.

Today is my third day in Utah and my oh my has it been eventful. I got here after a 6 hr flight and well it was a really long day after that. I didnt crawl into bed until... 1 am... which is 3 am my original time!

Thursday; well my grandmother, selica, and I went on the train from ogden to Salt Lake City. That was a great trip! We had soo much fun. We went around the temple, and took a tour of the beehive house. Also we ate at the new Nauvoo cafe. That was a beautiful time. Something else, very interesting happened... I ran into Sister Gordon, who happens to be the mother of Elder Gordon who served in our ward and baptized Elizabeth. :) She was so thrilled to meet me and since they live in Provo, she invited me to her house every Sunday at 6 for Family Dinner! I left with an address and 3 phone numbers; along with 2 email addresses. I was ecstatic for the remainder of the day! That was Thursday.

Friday; I dropped my grandma off at the temple.... and went back to the house for a nice run. Wow so I underestimated the thin air here!!! I couldnt run more than 3 miles... it was sad. Me and Selica went on a run to Walmart, Target, Ulta, Home Depot... haha the list goes on. We passed the time. Then Grandma and her boyfriend, Orrin took us bowling. Well while we were bowling I met this guy, he asked me if I would let him take me on a tour of Ogden. So we are going golfing tomorrow afternoon. That will be fun!

The mountains are most definitely the best part of Utah... its absolutely gorgeous here.

I'll post pics from my laptop next week. This week Im using the fam. comp. So I should get off before they beat me. Much love.

Pool Partay

yupppppp. pool parties, beach days, and the incredible times spent with friends. its summer.

Well last night the group headed over to my house for a nice, refreshing swim after the awesome steak dinner that Bishop had given for scripture masteries! I drove over with Nick; then Allie brought Kamilla and Jake along. Mckay arrived after most of the fun had been committed! But we still had a blast! It was a great going away get together, sad but awesome in the least.

The belly flop contest between Nick and Jake was definitely a success and left the two boys with quite sore stomachs. Jake, pictured above was definitely a top finalist with his giant splash!

Nick also did well in trying his belly flop! He might still be a little sore from the landing! Then we all goofed around and tried to have the most fun that we could! Which allowed us to end up playing phase 10 until 11 at night! Some of us get a little competitive but everything works out in the end!

Last Day at the Beach before I leave.

Well today was my last day at the beach before I leave for school and my oh my... it was breathtakingly amazing. But it was completely sad because I will miss all of my friends and the great times we've shared at Isle of Palms. Luckily its gotten a lot warmer than it was in March.

Today was so beautiful and I got this new camera which takes AMAZING photos!!! My hair looks so absolutely red in this picture and well sorry Nick but the camera still makes you look goofy. haha Im totally kidding. But I will definitely miss him and his family when I leave.

It was a great day to be at the beach; and I cant wait to come back next summer and be here for all the fun. So long South Carolina! Hello.... utah...

The Countdown is ON!

welllp. Im done. haha finally graduation is over and my oh my it hasnt come soon enough! haha.

umm definitley want to thank all those who gave me wonderful gifts! :) I love them all, duh!

Grad was a piece of cake... besides that it took so stinking long and I get bored easily.

The party at the Johnsons was of course smashing as always!!! Thanks guys!

So Its exactly a week until I fly out of Columbia!?!?! oh my... soooo soon. oh well. its needed.

I will miss you all in South Carolina. I love you all. But beware Utah, I hate you. Well I hate your state and most of all that comes with it. Its nothing personal, well maybe it is but still. :P

Im going to bed... YAY! Itll be the first good night of sleep in 2 weeks. Thank goodness.

Be Strong, Believe.

Well this week has been semi-stressful and long... Very long.

Many things have occured and been going on that are way out of anyone's ability to control. Life changes rather quickly and its up to each of us to be strong enough to cope and maintain stability among the winds that shake and ruffle the trees. Last night Gramma Sue died, Allie and Kamilla have been pretty torn up. As a friend, I want to be there are often and as much as i can. Yet, I dont really know what to say, because nothing I say will help to comfort them. Its hard, I wish I could take their pains away... believe me If I could i would. Its just like when my grandpa died, I had to remember that no matter how alone i felt, I always have someone who has been through it all, the Savior. Its times like these that make life and all the struggles worthwhile. Its reassuring. I know that everything is going to be okay. The sun will continue to shine regardless of the pain, so I must do the same.

Graduation practice was today! That is coming up in... wow. Three days. In three days i will walk that stage and be done... with high school and with being a kid. Well i always want to be a kid, But that walk means I am more responsible than ever for how i turn out. Then i leave for BYU about 5 days after I graduate... That is very difficult to bear; leaving Summerville is going to rip a piece of my heart out. We dream and we dream for the moment to come; well right now, Its coming way to fast and the rush is getting to me.

I want to stay strong; through the Lord, anything is possible. Everything is going to be alright.

Two more days:

As I look back, I think wow. These three years have kinda flown by. Life has been hectic and at times a little overwhelming but thank goodness for my family and friends.

The super exciting thing is that i have a family reunion coming up, and that will be, as always, a blast! I cant wait to see all my family before heading off to college. and collecting all those graduation moneys is helping a whole lot. haha. thats a joke but yeahhh. This year is coming to a close, and the next step of my life is so close i can nearly taste it. Im so ready to start on my journey, and I would have to say that the greatest wisdom I have that has carried over from life lessons has been from the gospel. Thank goodness I have that, or else I would be quite lost. In this harsh world, it good and comforting to know that at the end of the day, when all seems to go wrong, there is one whom we can always rely on. and that is the Savior, who is and has always been my rock.

life is going to be a long road. But im fueled and ready to go. :)

Superfly.

Today was actually a ton of fun! We had our senior picnic and other things going on which was a complete blast! I got my yearbook. and haha I can definitely see the difference between this year and last year. Last year I was involved in nearly everything drama and theatrical stuff while keeping up on school work. This year I definitely put all my artistic involvement aside and focused on graduating. Its sad but I guess its totally worth it!

Still the countdown is on, and I cant wait until school is over. Only a couple more days.

Fried. Extra Crispy.

Today was my trip to Kiawah!!!
It was most definitely the best kayaking trip ever incorporated with my nerdy love of ecology and biological studies. We found the best specimens washed up on the beach to study. Also we ran nets through the inslet to get fish and found some pretty rare species for that particular area. The highlight of my day was kayaking with the dolphins and that was amazing. I touched one. They were feeding, and the main female was teaching the younger ones how to strand feed by forcing fish on the beach and then jumping on the shore to get them. It was amazing. Ive never had more fun in the outdoors! I am super sunburnt though. Its all good. i absolutely loved the entire trip. Kayaking is so much fun that when Garrett comes back, we are going to make sure we have the optimum fun possible! Im tired. Going to beddd!

Only 5 more school days left. YAY!
Fave Scripture: John 1:5-9. Yup. The lord is light all right. I think we all need a little more of that cleansing light.

Day to Day.

Today has been nice. i woke up, went to seminary, went to school and got home at 11:30.

School is much better when i only go for three hours. hmm Not much hw. Im just sitting there in every one of my classes.

The only thing that is really getting on my nerves is the problems with my FAFSA. haha. this financial aid and scholarship office at BYU is nerve-wracking to deal with.
Oh well. Its the Lord's will. Everything will be alright. I hope.

So after much worry

Everything is alright.
I finally talked to my father.
He is fine, and apparently I freaked out
over nothing. Life really stinks sometimes.

but I thank the Lord that everything is alright.
thanks to those who comforted me. it means
so much. you have no idea. :)

Happy Mothers Day.

Today is most definitely a day that I cant wait until I get to celebrate for real... lol but while Im waiting... I have to say HAPPY MOTHERS DAY. Not only to my mother who is the best person I have ever known. And has put up with me through thick and thin, even though she is my stepmom. I dont think that matters in the grand scheme of things. I love her with all my heart. Also to my grandma, who puts up with so much from me! haha. She has had her patience tried more than once. It goood she loves me.

Also, even though they arent mothers to me, I would have to say thanks to all the women in my life! lol. I mean there are certain mothers who make my life so much eaiser to deal with. Sister Johnson, I get to see your smiling face every morning. You truly dont know how amazing you are, and you make the best food. :) I have always felt welcome in your home. Thanks. Barbie has truly helped me also! I love both these women like mothers.


hmm. besides Mothers Day... its been study central. I have AP BIo examm tomorrow. I cant wait til that is done and over with.

Well. Im tired. Its been a long weekend. The four of us went to see Iron Man last night, and it was super amazing. I absolutley loved that movie. and I cant wait until this weekend to go see Prince Caspian which happens to be my fave book of the Narnia series. that should be super exciting.

Fave Scripture of the Day: D&C 121. All of it! I may be struggling in my life, but that is when Joseph Smith is able to fully see the mercy of the Lord amidst all his trials.

Excitement and More Excitement

Yesterday was my APUSH exam... and boy was that fun! I seriously think I aced it which is super super nice! And then after that I went to school and took a practice APBIO one... that was not so much. Oh well. I really cant wait until after that exam is over, bc then its smooth sailing until I graduate. I literally go to school for exactly 5 more days... thats it. I have a fieldtrip and a senior picnic that take up a lot of my time. so yay!

But yesterday I went over to the Johnsons and had this amazing Chicken Broccoli and Rice which was mui delicioso. We all hung out over there and watched the Goonies and then Jurassic Park. Which happen to be two of my most favorite movies ever! yay! The whole group was there too so it was a nice hangout. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, which I always do when I'm over there. :)

Today... hmm the agenda is as follows. Maxx and Relaxx. I woke up at 10:30 am. and Really dont plan on doing much being cleaning out my car, which is a DISGRACE. and then were all going to go see Iron Man which makes me more excited bc Ive been dieing to see that movie. I think its going to be Allie, Mckay, Nicholas, and Me... but Im not sure. Fun times.

Then I dont know what else. but mann. Its super exciting that life is kinda flying by and college is getting closer and closer. YAY!

Even more CRAZE!

Welll. Its getting down to the nitty gritty. Only 16 more hours until this huge paper is due... and haha. I am not looking forward to that. Oh also APUSH is tomorrow. That exam will be fun. Both practice exams turned out with me yielding a 5, so hopefully my smarts will pay off. hmm. Im seriously craving some freshly cut pineapple. I dont know why. Buttttt... This weekend could not be coming any slower.

Im trying to take a step back and just analyze everything in my life. So far, I cant find anything to complain about so that helps a lot. Welp. Im going to go be studious and right this paper. But my current state of the union is: Happy.
