YES!!!!!

This is what I saw as I was walking to take my last final today. . .all I can say is that you know its gonna be a good day when your morning starts off like this!!!

This was on my way home from the library last night, isn't it great!!! Just in case you were wondering yes that is an A on top of that blessed building!!!

We go sledding all the time down Old main Hill, this was back in November. . .ahh man it is so much fun!!!

Today as my fun day to me, I went snow shoeing with some friends, it was pretty fun, even though i was all wet when all the snow melted.

Right now I'm so happy to be done for the semester!!!

ITS A MIRACLE. . .

Really it is!! I didn't fall on my face, butt or any other body part while walkin' on sheets of ice to class this morning!!!!

oh my oh my

wow how time flys. . .

Thanksgiving has come and gone, Christmas is just around the corner. . .

AND. . . . . . . .. .

THE SEMESTER IS ALMOST OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

PHEW- I've pretty much made it.

Tonight my intermural basketball team, HOOPS, has our first tournement game, it could be our last one!!(yeah i'm playin basketball- 3 on 3 half court its great. . .my main job run around and wear the other team out cause thats all im good for- can't shoot, not very good at rebounding, please don't give me the ball, let me get my cardio in and some aggression out!!!)

Is it a bad thing when 30 degrees is warm?????

Is there such a thing as eating too many carrots???

LOVE

So, I've been in a family mood lately and how grateful I am for them and their love and support throughout the years. Families are just amazing and I love them so very much!!!

My grandparents are some of the most amazing people that I know, I love them so very much. Its been a long year for my grandparents my grandmas health is failing and its been a real struggle for me. . .its hard to explain, I've always had a close relationship with her and it breaks my heart to see her constantly struggle with little everyday things. Her brother passed away last Thursday, his funeral was today. I'm glad that I was able to go, he has been to pretty much every one of my softball games since I made the team as a freshman in high school. I always thought of him as my grandma's eyes watching me play since she could only make it to a few of my games. It's tough to think that he is gone, he will be missed. As for right now, I'm just grateful for the fact that my grandparents are still alive(on both sides). Its hard to think that any one of them could be gone at any time, life is so delicate and precious.

I'm so very blessed to have the knowledge that I have, its a huge strength to me in my every day life.

Perception

Sometimes when I'm walking around campus and I'm cold i look for people who look colder than me and I tell myself it could be worse. . .I could be them!!!!

LIFE

well sad to say its been a long time. . .so sorry. It feels like so many things have happened when in reality then haven't. SO my life in a nutshell( a really small nutshell):


Halloween, fun danced my way through the weekend and apparently I am one good dancer, or at least i shocked everyone that knew me with the fact that I like to dance around like a fool(its fun)!!!!!!!


The spinning classes i'm going to are wicked awesome, i love them!!!! I also have a new found joy for running- i just love to listen to the tunes and run, it calming, its how i relax.

More recently i've been workin on my school schedule. . .PAIN IN MY SIDE (as always). but i think today i figured it all out. One class that im super excited for is water aerobics- can't wait!!!!

Some day ill get some sweet pics up from my life, but for now this will have to work
Other than that life is great!!!!!!



Oh and by the way i have to take a math placement test to get into my stats class- pray for me!! I looked at the review stuff and it made me a little nervous.

I KNOW NOW

'What a day' is the only phrase that can sum up what happened to me last Friday. After the softball team practices it is my job to drag the Field, so i do that and to be honest I really enjoy it. Some days I take longer than others depending on how much homework I have, if there are people still there and what I feel like at the time. Well Friday i was feeling good I had all the time in the world and was in no rush at all. So I drag the Field and take my sweet time, go over it a couple of times- it looks good and I feel accomplished(really that's all it takes). I head to put the drag machine back in its rightful place- the shed. . .when all of the sudden it dies, stops right there in the middle of no where!!!! First thought- CRAP its my first week and I just broke the drag!!! Second thought well, maybe its just out of gas- check it out- yep so empty you can see the bottom of the gas tank. Well all the gas cans were empty, I tried to push it myself- no luck. Just then the bus drops some kids off, one of them is in my chemistry class, he is nice enough to stop, he could probably tell i was in need of help. We start to push this thing that weighs a ton, literally, up a slight incline to the shed. Luckily for us a kid that drives the campus bus stops and helps us the rest of the weigh. . ..OH MY GOODNESS!!!! What a hassle, I feel so lucky to have been able to move after pushing that thing. I'm so very grateful for those two guys that were nice enough to stop and help a girl out!!!!!!

Advice from dad given a little late, but hey at least I know now- 3 things you check before run anything like that: 1- GAS 2- OIL 3- Tire Pressure. Thanks dad, I will never not do that!!!!

LOST & FOUND

I had a tragic loss the other day or night whatever floats your boat. I was getting ready for bed and I decided that i needed to floss. . .so i was doing that. . .we should stop here to clarify a few things: 1- I have fake teeth 2- in may i thought one of them was loose, went to the dentist he said it was fine- okay i can handle that 3- July Carmel apple sucker stuck to the roof of my mouth pulled it out oops feels a lil loose. . . that brings us to Tuesday night 11:20 flossing being really careful around said tooth- tooth flys out into sink. OH CRAP!!!!! grab tooth, grab tooth. . .okay have tooth few, only bad news tooth is out of my mouth!!! I lost a tooth, good news i got it fixed the next day, phew thank-you doctor Bolton!!!!!!!

In other news, school is picking up, I have three test next week and one this Friday, wahoo!!!!! I love being busy cause when i'm busy i get more things done!!!!!

Empty

Well today is Friday. . .i know shocking like you didn't already know that!! If your normal friday is the day of the week that you look froward too, you count down to it, you even have a 'hump' day to mark the half way mark. . .but me, well this is where my trouble starts. . .i don't have any plans. . .yes I love the weekends but sometimes just sometimes i wonder what everybody does where everybody goes. . .have you ever been on a campus on the weekend???? Example, right now i'm sitting in the library which is usually fairly crowded at 3:30 in the afternoon, but today, friday. . .its look mighty barrin. . where do all the people go??

On another note, its getting cool up here- not the 'cool man' but the temperature cool. Yesterday was the first day all year( yes i know its only the second week of school) that I wore gym shorts to class and it just so happened to be the coldest day of the year, no joke!!! Its okay though cause I like to wear jackets!!!

WHEW!!!

Oh man so much has happened since my last post I feel a little overwhelmed with where to start this post. . . .

First off congrats to my lovely brother and his wife, they were sealed for time and all eternity on Aug 12, 2010, I'm really happy for them.

Then my beloved Jack Johnson came to town, oh how I wish he was not married so I could be married to him and listen to him serenade me every day!!!! Oh well, at least I can listen to him on my ipod!!

Finally the big event in my life. . . moving up to Logan to go to school at Utah State!!!! What a bug change this brought into my life: 1) Moving out of my comfortable life in West Valley 2) Not playing softball and 3) Really starting out on a new life, not really knowing anybody having to make new friends and going to school at a University, not a community college.

These are all big events that change lives(yes Jack Johnson changes lives), and I am so happy that I have been able to experience them. I hope that I will be able to continue on loving life and meeting new people.

Change is good, even though it might seem hard, it's a really good thing!!

Family

what a great weekend and past few weeks spent with those that i love being around. . .my family. the other night we were talking about family and how yes sometimes we will be frustrated with one another but that doesn't mean we stop talking to them, we work through it. sure it will take patience on both sides, humbling and time but in the end we will always love each other no matter what.

I so very grateful for my family and the love that they continually express towards me!!!

They are my biggest fans and I'm theirs.

I love them with all my heart.

MISSIN"

Its funny how we grow to miss people-friends, family, teachers, coaches. .. It would seem that when we are with them we don't take full advantage of them and then there gone moving on with their life like we ourselves move on with ours. Here's the catch even though we may move on and continue with our lives we are still being affected by them, everyday. Simple things like songs, words, phrases, pictures, sights, sounds, food all take us back to those moments shared with certain people.

The good the bad and the ugly, all in due time turn into moments we wish we could get back. Times of emotional highs and love-to times of distress and sadness. Somehow we make it out alive and are able to learn, grow and love those moments.

A wise women often preached 'slow down and enjoy these moments' I'm am grateful to her for those words and try to enjoy the journey that I'm on!

Almost

Well here it is. . .what you may ask my first post!! I'm doing this all for a friend who asked me to start a blog and I told her no, but look what happened, I got bored with my life.

Not quite- well its not freezing outside by any means and I'm not even in Logan yet but in a few short moments (a little over a month) I will be. I feel so unprepared for the next step in my life, moving away from home but at the same time ready and excited. I read in a book that we need to do one thing a day that scares us and well thinking about school scares me so I've got that pretty much covered.

One of the first things I'm going to have to get over is the intensely strong feelings I have for not spending money-I loath the thought that I'll have to spend it when I move out!! Strange, yes but somehow I'll make it out alive.
