I'm Goin Home, Where Your Love Has Always Been Enough For Me

I am home for the weekend. I really don't like to travel, particularly driving a long distance. So hopefully I won't have to do much of it! But it is good to be home and see my family and some of my friends. This week has been a pretty good, and busy, week. I ended up withdrawing from my dance class. It was just going to be too much and I need the time to keep up with homework and voice lessons. Maybe next semester. Other than that, it has been good.

I have recently taken a liking to raquetball. A friend of mine that I met and is going to EA right now insisted that I learn how to play, so him and I like to go to the courts every now and then and hit some balls around. And let me tell ya, it is quite the stress reliever! I will definantly be playing a lot, especially if I ever get angry! And my friend Travis is fun to hang out with too! So yeah, I am still enjoying everything and the people around me!

This weekend I will probably just chill with the fam, my bff Emily. Unfortunantly I had to bring homework with me that has to get done! Crazy college instructors! Oh well. Sunday will be great because I am going with Emily down to Payson for the day to see a friend of ours. He doesn't know I will be coming with her so it should be a fun surprise for him! Then monday I get to go back and buy a few groceries, maybe clean up the apartment a bit! And then...start my life up again!!! Yay. Oh just so you guys know,ABOVE, I have posted a video that you just click on the words in order to see it. (Hopefully it works.) Anyway, this is just a little taste of what happens when 4 college age girls are living together, and especially when it is just completely impossible to go to sleep at a decent hour because of how wired we can get! The video is me and Kendra having a "Shoot out"???? Yeah, we are wierdos, but totally check it out!

I probably should go try to get some sleep now. Its been a long day! Good night all!

Beautiful Saturday Morning(:



One thing I really love is waking up to pouring rain! Yep-it rained all night and is still raining! I went for a walk this morning when I got up. "Whoever said sunshine is happiness, has never danced in the rain!"
OK. I got through my first week as a freshman....in college! I really feel that it went great. I am looking forward to all the different experiences that will probably be taking place and the things I will be learning! However, I am very glad that it is the weekend. And I only have one short homework assignment! Hopefully I won't have any next weekend seeing as how it will be Labor Day wknd and I'm going home! Anyway, I started my ballroom dance class on thursday. Its just once a week and should be a lot of fun! Not to mention, I have a very good looking dance partner(: I was also able to get a job finally. Its actually rather funny. I am the secretary to the basketball coach! I will be doing office work for him and keeping up with all that stuff for the team! Should be great and I will have very flexible hours. Last night was the Institute opening social. I totally had a BLAST! I had to sorta avoid one guy who was really kinda wierd....hard to explain but other than that.....they had a dinner and a really awesome talent show! One of my good friends from snowflake sang with a group of some of his buddies and they did really awesome! It was fun show and then of course there was...dancing! It was great! I love to dance and so I was all over the place! Well-I probably should go do my one assignment and then its off to help clean the apartment! Living the college life is what I'm doing and trying to enjoy every minute of it! Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Well, day one of college is halfway over. So far, so good. I really think I am going to enjoy this. I think I will need to make some goals to get through, which could be interesting, but I seem to have this new outlook on things. Take math for instance. I haven't done well in that subject since about the 4th grade....so, the teacher I have in my class here, has boosted my confidence a little bit, and its only the 1st day! He simply said, 'Math is not your enemy. Math doesn't have to be your best friend, but it shouldn't be your enemy.' I guess I took that to heart because almost immediately, I made a goal in mind that I will, for probably the 1st time ever(i've always been C-average), get at least a B, if not better, in this math class. I'm determined. Anyway, I had english 101 today. English should be my best subject, and in a way it is, but I really like my instuctor so it should go well, if I make it that way. So, I realize it is only the 1st day and I still have 4 more classes that I haven't attended yet for this week, but I really really have a positive attitude about this whole college thing, and this year. In high school it was different. I tried to be positive, but a lot of that looking at the bright side stuff was because of all the "fun" things I would be doing, including getting out of high school! I will be having tons of fun here, but as far as acedemics, I've taken on a whole new attitude and I truly know how important this is all going to be. This is my future. This is my time to figure things out in the world and figure out my place in the world. Working hard is all part of it. As funny as that might sound, its true! I just know that if I trust in God and what his plan and will is for me, its going to be fine. This is the time for change and a chance for me to be whoever I want to be. I'll keep you all updated on how life is going of course! I will end with one of my favorite quotes:
"Start off each day with a smile, and get it over with one."

New Life, New Story

Day 3: college life! Wow. I made it. I am officially on on my own and in a whole new world. Its wierd how fast this time of my life has come. But I am definantly enjoying the whole being on my own thing. Its just kinda nice to get up in the morning, and eat whatever I want(: I'm still eating healthy no worries! I'm just with 4 girls my age and so far, we are having a lot of fun! We got our apartment organized. We just have yet to talk to the owner about the all-showers-are-cold issue, and the we-froze-to-death-last-night-because-of-the-air conditioning-not-working-very-well issue. (; It should be a fun week!
Yesterday we went to church. Right now all the wards are combined until everyone comes back and moves in. So next week we will be split into different wards. Should be good.
Last night was great, we had a girls night! With (virgin)daquiris, popcorn, chocolate, and the movie Step Up! As I always say, life is good when you've had a daquiri(:
I have yet to get a job worked out, but i know it will work out!
My sister Stephanie, lives in Safford with her family so I will be getting to see them a lot more now. She just had her 3rd child, a boy. Anthony. I love my new nephew! He is very adorable! Anyway, I am keeping positive and I'm very excited for this year to get going! It will be fun meeting new people and getting into the swing of things. My music is what I'm looking forward to the most I think. Choir will be awesome, and continuing some with my piano, and voice lessons. Singing is my passion and keeping it with me this year is probably going to help me keep moving along!
Well, here I go to, continue with my new life. Leave me some comments-i'd love to hear from all of you! And just remember, "Life's like a novel, with the end ripped out." Keep going with whatever happens!

It's Wednesday

Ok, so wednesday has come. I hope the next 2 days will be busy....er....I guess 'a watched pot never boils'! Well, so far so kind of better on the packing and such. I finally feel more excited to move. The last few days(until yesterday)i kept finding a reason to cry it seemed. Or even if I didn't find a reason, it found me. But, its all good. I just have had a lot on mind and i'm really truly ready to move. I guess that proves that this is the right thing. Today was sad this afternoon a little cuz i said goodbye to one of my 2 best friends-Cassidi. (Cass-you better not be crying right now!) We made the best of times! We did what Rachelle and Cassidi do. Daquiris + Shopping=taking pictures of ourselves:

We are so NOT conceited. I told you, daquiris and shopping all in one day....not always a good thing(: Anyway, life continues on. My family went to school today without me. Weird. I gotta stop using the word...wierd. Its getting on my own nerves. t.t.f.n.

One day down.....

Oh my goodness. This week is going by slow, but at the same time, fast. I figure that by wednesday it will be alot better and [smoother]per se, cuz that means the week is half over. This morning, I woke up to my still organized mess that I did this weekend. Within about a couple hours, my room completely exploded! So, I guess this is what moving is like eh? My mom can't believe how much stuff I have....especially the stuff she gets to store while I am away. Its ok mom....in a year or so i'll get rid of more i'm sure! (; Anywho, so my room is looking even more empty. Its actually becoming less depressing. Infact, just this very moment, I think i'm over it! Here you will see what the room looks like, including a now almost very empty shelf....
Wow! Now, my room has been messy, but this is worse than messy I must say. Ok, 4 more days and it will be completely empty. Guess I better go make sure I can at least sleep in my bed tonight! TTFN

Sunday afternoon

Well, here I am. A new blog. Blogging can be really addictive ya know.......

So, today was my last sunday being in my ward. I can hardly believe that this time next week I will be in a singles/college ward in Thatcher, AZ. College....ah.....I pray that I can handle it! I'm finally excited to be starting a new life. I know it will be hard, but its going to be great, if I keep thinking that way! I'm ready to start packing this week. Ok so I already have 2 boxes packed, but whatever! Its going to be really different but I'm not going to make a huge deal out of it! I'm just playin it cool and goin with the flow! My scedule will be very jam packed with classes and homework and my work study job. I am NOT going to stress out! I refuse! Despite what my choir director in high school tried to tell me-that being that stressing out is a good thing. I think he needs to retire(; Anyway, so here I go starting a week of.....fun.....?! I'll let ya know how it really goes.
